A detective enters and tells that Billy Groves never checked into work and that he left his truck in repair.

At the repair, they talk with the owner and he tells that Billy was there, dropped off his truck and got a ride with someone. Dwight asks if Billy was friends with them and the man tells that the people beat up Billy and threw him in the back of the car. Dwight and Charlie wonder why he didn’t call the police and he tells that he never liked Billy and that he got what he deserved. Back at the Grove’s home, Cloe is recanting her story and is now telling Dwight, Charlie, and Officer Sutton that he came home and was arguing with me. At the mention of Scarecrow, Sutton says, “Oh no.” He pulls Charlie and Dwight to the side and tells that Flynn is a gun runner and thinks that Billy is running guns for people.

They visit Flynn at the gun shop and he is not talking. Dwight asks to see two guns in the counter. He asks Flynn if he watched the “Good the Bad the Ugly” and starts taking apart the two guns and mixes and matches them around. Flynn is not happy and finally tells that Billy told him that he is going to “greener” pastures. Dwight tells that Billy was into selling marijuana. They get the drug sniffing dogs at the Grove’s home and find the shed that is FULL of marijuana. They find the body of Billy buried in a shallow grave. They sit down with Cloe again and once again her story changed. This time Billy came in and was yelling. She says that Billy pulled a gun and that it just went off. They get more information and find out that Troy, the older son was there and that they were wrestling around with the gun and it went off. Troy calls and she tells him to stay there.
