Spoilers for ‘Walker’ Episode 1

Episode 1 of The CW’s reboot of the iconic ‘Walker, Texas Ranger’, starring Jared Padalecki as the eponymous lead, set the stage for a man trying to make sense of his broken life. Walker was a happy man. Then one day, his wife Emily (guest star Genevieve Padalecki), was murdered. Even though the murderer was caught, Walker months later continues to dwell upon it, wondering if there was a bigger picture he was missing. 

In his broken state, Walker takes on an undercover mission that keeps him away from his family and friends and everyone he knows for the better part of a year. And things are not great when he returns. His headstrong, somewhat rebellious teenage daughter Stella (Violet Brinson) is antagonistic towards him. Walker’s former colleague, Larry James (Coby Bell), is now his Ranger Captain.

But even as he and his new partner, Micki Ramirez (Lindsey Morgan), one of the first women in Texas Rangers’ history, get along despite a rough start, he can’t help but think about the suspicious circumstances of his wife's death. As Walker and Ramirez solve a case -- they discover a drug ring -- Larry tells him that this could be a bigger case and he may be needed for “down south”.

So, what can we expect from Episode 2 of ‘Walker’?

As per IMDb, Episode 2 of ‘Walker’ is titled ‘Back in the Saddle’. It will see Walker continue to try to reconnect with his family but finds that his kids have developed new routines with Liam (Keegan Allen), Walker’s ADA brother who stepped in during Walker’s absence. Old memories of Emily will hinder Walker's progress of being recertified to be a Ranger. Ramirez will investigate a suspicious fire.

There are many questions that arose from Episode 1. While Walker told Stella that he would not take up the job “down south” and concentrate more on his family, he still might be tempted to go for it. He is after all an overtly macho character, trying to make sense of his tragedy by falling into work and aggressively fighting crime. 

There is also the question of Walker’s friend Geri (Odette Annable). They two seemed to bond a bit at the bar but she apologized for not having been able to answer questions about Emily’s death to his satisfaction in the past. How was Geri involved in the incident? And is there something romantic that might pop up between her and Walker in the story ahead? The two seemed pretty cozy as they danced at the bar.

There is also the question of how Walker and Liam’s relationship will move forward. They are loving brothers but the affections of his children going his way might cause a rift there.
