Landman Episode 4 Is Here, And It Is Unexpected

Taylor Sheridan’s new television show based on Boomtown’s famous podcast is back with another explosive episode.

Episode 4 begins by resolving the major conflict from the previous episode. The first two episodes, released on the same day, introduced the issue of a stolen airplane that was involved in a car accident. The aircraft belonged to Monty Miller, portrayed by Jon Hamm, and was managed by his fixer, Tommy Norris, who is the main character of the series and is played by Billy Bob Thornton.

Due to Tommy’s failure to report the stolen aircraft, he faced a significant lawsuit. In the third episode, there is a discussion about firing him to limit liability; however, in the end, a skilled lawyer named Rebecca Falcone, portrayed by actress Kayla Wallace, is brought in to resolve the situation. She negotiated a settlement during a brief conversation and could be described as a badass.

Following that, she and Tommy shared a beer, hinting at the possibility of a romantic interest, but that was quickly squashed.

To catch you up, watch a full recap of the last three episodes of Landman.

Tommy Norris’ Family Drama In Episode 4

In addition to the drama of the dangerous oil fields and the political intrigue of the West Texas boomtown, the show follows the Norris family and their confusing dynamics.

In this episode, the dysfunctional parents are back together. What started out as hatred has turned into love?

Tommy’s ex-wife, Angela, joined the show as the crazy ex he couldn’t stand. There is undeniable chemistry between them, but they also carry years of emotional baggage. In the previous episode, Angela threw herself at Tommy, but he rejected her.

However, when she tried again in Episode 4, he gave in.

This dynamic will make for exciting drama as the show progresses.

Besides a few short scenes, the couple’s kids were not in this episode. Tommy’s daughter showed enthusiasm when her parents announced they would be getting back together. Their son, however, was not a fan of his father’s news. When Tommy told his son Cooper that he had decided to try again with Angela, Cooper asked why he would do that. Tommy said“Because that’s how f***ing stupid I am.”
