Lest we forget that this season was written and shot during COVID with delays and whatnot, so maybe there were some on-the-fly changes? Jimmy and the Four 6’s deal I think will be cool, and I hope there is some level of crossover between the shows. Walker is headed there as well.
As far as the protest girl goes. Idk, it doesn’t seem too out of place to me as some of y’all are making it out to be. Protesting the cattle industry is nothing new, and looks pretty much as depicted. You see John’s character slipping into his twilight years in a big house all alone, having been hated by family and foe. Maybe he sees the opportunity to make one less person hate him. Just my take on it.
