The following story contains spoilers for Landman season 2, episode 9, “Plans, Tears, and Sirens.”IT'S THE PENULTIMATE episode of Landman season 2. And like the rule of Chekhov’s gun, writer-creator Taylor Sheridan reminds us that if you show us a boorish, backwoods racist and misogynist creep, you better bring back that boorish, backwoods racist and misogynist creep to do irrevocable harm to your characters. Or at least, that’s how it’s done in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Remember that drunk who lasciviously insulted Ariana (Paulina Chavez) on her first day behind the bar at the Patch Cafe, before she assaulted his face and he was banned from the spot?
