Walker season 2 is off to a promising start!
The new season jumped 3 months into the future and focused heavily on Micki’s time undercover.
For those who need a bit of a refresher — Micki took a job to investigate the man responsible for Stan Morrison.
But the job was particularly important because Stan wasn’t the shooter’s intended target — Cordell Walker, her partner was.
Micki is tough, so there’s no reason why she wouldn’t have a handle on the situation, but three months and some radio silence and everyone is pretty worried about her, especially Trey, who hasn’t heard from her in over a month.
Walker also knows what being undercover can do to a person when you become too accustomed to the lifestyle or when you grow too close to the people you’re lying to, so his concern is slightly more understandable.
When we first see Micki, she has embraced the persona of Yvette, who is helping a man named Spider steal a car.
He’s not nearly as skilled as she is as Yvette proves that she knows exactly what she’s doing.
And she’s doing it all so that she can get an “in” with the boss, a man named Serano.
Things take a deadly turn, however, when Spider is thrown off a building and killed.
Micki is definitely shaken, but Trey, who was also on the scene, is even more upset by the ordeal because he’s convinced that she’s in over her head.
Not only does he loop Walker in, but he also tells him about the fact that she’s doing all of this to protect him.
Walker’s friendship with Micki means the world to him, so while he understands why she’s risking it all for him, he also wants to protect her.
While it’s totally like Walker to butt in with the case and drive to Del Rio to find her (don’t you love how the Captain saw this coming), I love that he also trusts Micki enough to let her call the shots and let the situation play out.
As much as I love Walker as the knight in shining armor, it’s even better when he acknowledges that women are capable of taking care of themselves.
Sticking through with the plan paid off because Micki finally snagged a meeting with Serano.
However, things are about to get really messy because it seems as though she goes way back with Serano’s right-hand man.
As she told Walker, he was the “one that got away.”
And from experience, we know that love and undercover work do not mix.
If this is an ex — and one that taught her everything she knows — then he knows too much about her already; He’ll be able to make her.

Micki’s in a lot of danger, which means she’s putting her loved ones in danger too.
Though I’m intrigued by this storyline, there’s nothing that I hate more than something coming between Micki and Trey. Their relationship is so sweet and they worked a lot to get to this point.
Back in Austin, the new neighbors moving next door to the Walker’s weren’t so new after all.
At first, it was a little unclear as to why Cordell was having flashbacks to a fire at the barn, but when it was revealed that the Davidson’s were moving back in, it all began to make sense.
A young Cordell and a young Denise were responsible for the fire at the barn, an act that the family still holds it against the Walkers because the story is that Denise’s father died trying to save Cordi.
However, it’s clear that no one is actually telling the truth about what really happened that night.
What’s everyone hiding… and why?
While Denise and Cordell are the most cordial members of the two families since everyone else is butting heads.
Both matriarchs were at each other’s throats, the kids got into it at school, and Liam and Dan came to blows about Denise the boar.
Plenty of punches were thrown, and surprisingly, Cordell wasn’t the one throwing any of them.
Liam’s anger was understandable as the DA position was taken from him and simply handed to Denise. I know the first election ended in murder, but doesn’t he deserve a chance to run again?
Plus, Denise is still treating him like the kid brother.
Dan (played by Odette Annable’s — Geri’s — real-life husband Dave Annable) was also totally out of line.
If you dish out hate, don’t be surprised when it’s given in return.
There’s no need to keep fueling the fire here over something that happened so long ago.
Auggie punching Denise’s son, Colton, was unexpected, but honestly, good for him for finding his inner warrior. Stella didn’t deserve to be called an entitled princess, even if she did wrongly accuse the kid of keying her car.
It was an honest mistake. Though you know that these two lost, troublemaking souls are going to fall in love, which will put the two feuding family’s in a tailspin.
Cordell and Geri seemed to be the only two with their heads on right, though, their feelings for each other weren’t addressed at all.
It does seem like Denise and Cordell are supposed to have some kind of chemistry, but for everyone’s sake, I hope the writers don’t go down that route.
And if I didn’t make it clear, I’m totally rooting for Geri, who said herself that she’s a Walker through and through.
On one final note — who has the Walker house under surveillance.
I’m not even going to get into how creepy that is, but it’s concerning that Walker and his family continue to be a target for really bad people.
