Abigail needs to head back to where Liam died in Walker Independence Season 1, Episode 2. What will she face along the way?

Abby needs to leave her old life behind. Before she can do that, though, she wants answers. She needs to know who killed her husband and why, and that means heading back to the crime scene.

She will head there with Hoyt and Calian, who both seem willing to get to the bottom of the situation despite their unwillingness at first. Calian not so much, but Hoyt was not interested in helping anyone but himself at first.

We all have an idea that it was the new sheriff, Tom Davidson, but Abby needs to get some proof about that. And does it seem just a little too obvious that it was the new sheriff? Is it possible that someone else didn’t want Liam Collins to end up in charge?

The sheriff and his deputy have work to do in Walker Independence Season 1, Episode 2

While Abby plays PI, Tom and his deputy, Gus, need to do their own investigation. They want to get to the bottom of the bank robbery from the first episode. It’s suspicious that the new girl in town, Abby, ended up becoming the robber’s hostage.

Is it possible that they have an idea that Hoyt was the bank robber? Do they just need him to come back to town to deal with the situation?

While all that goes on, we’ll head back to the saloon. We get to see more of Mark Sheppard in the series as Kate pushes him to do the right thing. Lucia and Kai also get more screentime as they end up working together. What is Kai’s talent that is going to help Lucia?

Check out the promo and synopsis for Walker Independence Season 1, Episode 2:

"Abby (Katherine McNamara) is joined by rough and tumble outlaw Hoyt (Matt Barr) and Apache scout, Calian (Justin Johnson Cortez), when she revisits the tragic site of her life’s demise in search of clues to help uncover the cold-blooded killer hiding in town. Meanwhile, new Sheriff Tom Davidson (Greg Hovanessian), and the town’s loyal Deputy, Gus (Philemon Chambers), are determined to track down the “mysterious” man responsible for the recent bank robbery. Kate (Katie Findlay) badgers Hagan (guest star Mark Sheppard) into doing the right thing, and Lucia (Gabriela Quezada) finds a new friend – and discovers a surprising talent – in Kai (Lawrence Kao). As Abby says a final farewell to her old life and “what might have been” she begins to embrace a new start in Independence while she, Calian, and Hoyt hatch a plan to bring the real enemy to justice… but how close is she willing to get?"
