When Colt discovers a bag of dirt in Frank’s refrigerator, it’s a strange and creepy discovery that hints at something more sinister lurking beneath the surface. Colt visited Frank every year on the anniversary of Gina’s disappearance, suggesting that Colt was deeply troubled by the case, though the reasons were not immediately revealed. Tensions between them eventually escalated into a physical altercation, but Frank refused to plead guilty. Colt’s frustration is palpable and he vows to prove Frank is responsible for Gina’s disappearance, which adds a strong undercurrent of obsession to the episode.

The episode also introduces a new, interesting case involving a missing family in Arkansas. What begins as a search for a family of four becomes entangled in a tangled web of witness protection, mob connections and the resurfaced dangerous enemies. Curt uncovers the truth about Ted’s wife Connie – who was in witness protection for cheating on her gangster ex-husband – and confronts a fake U.S. Marshal with sinister motives. The action gets more intense, especially in a gas station scene where Colt faces off against an attacker and learns that Connie’s past is catching up with her. The final showdown with her ex-husband (who holds the children hostage) is tense and emotional, with Colter and the U.S. Marshall narrowly saving the family.

The entire cast also shines, with Velma and Renee providing support in the lighter moments. Their concern for Colt’s well-being adds a human touch to the high-stakes drama, but Colt’s obsession with Gina’s case prevents him from relaxing, even when they offer pizza night. His emotional investment in Gina’s case is clearly weighing on him, and that’s likely to change throughout the season.

Overall, the episode deftly balanced two storylines: the straight-up missing family case and Colt’s long-term mission to find Gina. The action, tension, and emotional stakes are high, and the episode does a great job of establishing deeper threads that keep viewers hooked. The discovery of dirt in the refrigerator, an emotional moment with Gina’s sister, and Colt’s vow to prove Frank did it all add to the intrigue and provide a compelling start to season two.
