Far beyond the shadows of doubt series#

Then, when they freed Griffin, Augustus shot and killed him before they could get any intel out of him.Īnd can we trust Augustus? It doesn’t seem like it. He dug up the body and brought it into town, which made him look innocent. When Hoyt left Deputy Augustus a note about the murder along with the location of the body, Tom picked it up instead. The trio has been doing their best to unearth the truth about Tom, but every plan has faced some hiccups. Thankfully, she still has Hoyt and Calian, who are willing to do the dirty work, as they proved with their bar fight distraction to get Hoyt into the same cell as Griffin so that they could help his escape.

Working alongside Tom has its advantages, but it also comes at the cost of her freedom as she won’t be able to investigate as freely as she’s been doing thus far. It also begs the question-why did Tom kill Liam? Was it because he wanted the spot as Sheriff or was the connection deeper? Did they know each other? Did Tom want a shot with Abby?

It’s an odd offer, sure, but it does lean into my theory from the Walker Independence series premiere review that Abby could one day be Sheriff of this town. When Abigail realizes Tom is there lurking in the shadows, she’s visibly thrown off, and that feeling only intensifies when he offers her a job at the Sheriff’s office because he thinks “they could make a hell of a team.” He’s not wrong as Abby’s definitely knowledgeable about the law! And if for some reason, Tom wasn’t aware of the connection, well, he likely pieced it together when he heard her playing the same song she played on the piano right before Liam was shot to death. They’re dancing around the truth with each other. There’s not a doubt in my mind that Tom Davidson knows Abigail’s real identity. It’s a smart tactic, in the same way asking Abby to dinner is-keep your friends close and your enemies closer, they always say for a reason. Of course, the man he arrests, Griffin, is a criminal that Tom has been paying to steal cattle from the Reyes farm, so by putting the blame on him, he’s killing two birds with one stone and guaranteeing that Griffin doesn’t talk and expose him. Tom Davidson is a slick fox who seems pretty aware that there are forces out there trying to expose him for Liam Walker’s murder, so he takes matters into his own hands and delivers a murderer to the town instead.

Abigail, Hoyt, and Calian double down on their efforts to bring Sheriff Tom Davidson to justice on Walker Independence Season 1 Episode 2, but the new authority in town proves that he’s not going to be easy to take down.
