I think we all expected the mid season finale of Big Sky to be creepy, scary and shocking – and it was! It was also unexpectedly tender and touching if you’re a Beau Arlen fan (which I am. Obviously.) So let’s recap all things Beau Arlen for this latest episode, as we head into a winter hiatus for the show.
We pick up where we left off (I love that this show does that), with Paige and Sunny uneasily figuring out what each other are up to. Paige says that Walter helped her and that she knows he’s Sunny’s son, and asks for her help finding her bag and her journal. Sunny says she knows Paige was after a big sum of money and she thinks she knows who took the journal before the cops could. Paige offers to help get Walter out of jail if Sunny helps her find that journal. Who thinks this will go well? Exactly no one.
Beau and Jenny ask Walter more questions, telling him they’ve figured out his secret from the newspaper clippings Cassie found – that he murdered his parents in a house fire.
Walter: They weren’t my parents.
They ask him if he also killed the other child who was in the house, who was never found. Walter insists he was protecting her, that they hurt her even worse than they did him.
Walter: I set her free.
Beau: Meaning you killed her? The same damn thing.
They don’t believe Walter was able to survive on his own, and ask who helped him, mentioning Sunny and Buck.
Walter: Leave Sunny out of this.
Hmmmm.
Beau and Jenny confer with Cassie, who wonder if maybe Buck was his accomplice – and if the other kid (Meredith) is maybe still alive, though they haven’t been able to find any information on her.
Jenny gets a call from Pop. He’s at a friend’s daughter’s wedding, where he meets a pretty lady and has some fancy food, and then immediately it gets turned into a crime scene when the groom-to-be is killed. Poor Pop.
Jenny: There was a murder at the wedding.
Beau: Oh, come on! Hey, does this mean you’re Pop’s plus one for the wedding?
Jenny: Jealous?
Beau: Yeah, I wanna be Pop’s plus one!
So cute.
Jenny goes off to help Pop, and Denise and Emily pitch in to help find Meredith in the system. Denise calls him Bobo.
Emily: Bobo???
Cassie: Yeah, it’s the cringiest of all time.
Beau: It’s a harmless term of endearment. What you got, Denise-ie-poo?
