Jennie and Cassie continue to stick together
In the Big Sky Season 2 Episode 1, Jennie is at home six weeks later but still has a deep wound from the gunshot. However, she heads into Detective Walter Tubb’s (Patrick Gallagher) office and tells him she misses her badge. Then she heads over to her private investigation office. Cassie (Kylie Bunbury) is happy to see her but still has no idea who helped Ronald escape.
Deputy US Marshal Mark Lindor (Omar Metwally) also comes by the office to show Cassie a clip from a neighbor’s bird camera. It shows that the same day Ronald escaped, State Trooper Dewey (Andreas Apergis) took Scarlet Leyendecker (Anja Savcic) from her house. Cassie heads to Dewey’s house to question him. The officer insists that his superiors thought Scarlett might be in danger, so he took her into custody. He also warns Cassie to stop poking around.
Later, Jennie tells Cassie that she’s leaving the investigation office to wear a badge again, but the pair will continue to be partners.
Travis comes to town
Jennie recognizes an old friend at a bar, Travis (Logan Marshall-Green). He’s currently working undercover in a drug ring, so he stops by her house afterward. The two end up sleeping together. Showbiz Cheatsheet previously reported that Marshall-Green is a new recurring character in Big Sky Season 2, so viewers will see more Travis.
A new group of teenagers joins ‘Big Sky’ Season 2
In the Big Sky Season 2 Episode 1, viewers meet four new teenagers. Maxie (Madelyn Kientz) hates her mom’s new boyfriend, Tracy (Arturo Del Puerto), who calls himself “T-lock.” She calls him a “creepy jobless loser.” As soon as she walks in the door from babysitting Cassie’s son, Kai (Gabriel Jacob-Cross), the boyfriend takes a portion of the money she made. Afterward, she sneaks out to meet her friend Harper (Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson) at “the ridge.” Madison and her brother, Bridger, also come along. The girls give each other tattoos and wish that something exciting might happen. That’s when they watch a truck crash nearby.

Early in the Big Sky Season 2 Episode 1, two men meet to swap bags of money and drugs. The deal goes South, and Ringo is shot. Ren (Janina Gavankar) calls him while he’s bagging Ringo up. Except Ringo did not die, instead he wakes up and tries to grab the driver. The truck crashes and the new group of teens runs down to help. Ringo tells the kids to take the bags and run, or the driver will kill them. State Trooper Dewey arrives to investigate and shoots Ringo.
The teens agree to stash the drugs and cash and decide what to do with it later. Max hides both bags under the floor in their shed. When the teens reconvene, Max informs them the bag holds $500,000. They agree to “sit tight.” However, the missing money and drugs bring Ren to town in Big Sky Season 2 Episode 2.
