Rip, conflicted but acknowledging the history they shared, sighed. "Yeah... You have." Reluctantly, Rip agreed to help, devising a plan that involved dragging another unsuspecting soul, Walker, into their web, making him an accessory to the murder as well. The gravity of their actions reverberated through the ranch, a sinister secret that threatened to shatter the fragile bonds holding the Dutton family together.
