What I’m Watching: Big Sky

Big Sky: Season 3, Episode 11 “Super Foxes” (B-)

Cassie and Jenny both managed to get themselves out of their tricky situations, but it didn’t seem like that was going to happen for a good portion of this episode. Buck’s desire to keep Sunny out of trouble isn’t helping anyone, and everyone would be much happier if he wasn’t holding her hostage and now breaking his sobriety to deal with her. Cassie got called away because Jenny needed her, and they somehow managed to survive a very quickly-progressing twisted game that revealed a violent sect living very close to everything in this great state of Montana, whose geography is always baffling to me on this show given my memories of driving through a state whose east-west distance is just as far as Chicago and New York are from each other. Dean had little trouble tracking down Avery and was quite confident in his trigger-draw abilities when he suggested that his would-be abductor just go ahead and take Avery before shooting him dead. Avery’s fortunes didn’t get much better after he was arrested and then released, though his newfound captors were more than happy to work with the police when the right cause presented itself. Emily seemed to understand that her coffee shop run-in was creepy and threatening, and of course Avery has now put his family in danger even after he’s pretty much abandoned them. Hopefully Dean will put the same protective instincts into action once he realizes how close his family is to being used as pawns to push a criminal to act.
