The Winchesters
“Pilot”
October 11, 2022

Previously on Big Sky … Hello, friend.

“My sweet boy … do we have a problem?”

Reba is holding the plate of warm s’mores, her flashlight still trained on Dead-eyes. His dead eyes get shifty. How did she know? Reba tells him a mother always knows … and reminds him that he can’t be there. He has a place, and as long as he stays there, everything is peachy keen. That’s their deal. Dead-eyes Walt simply says he needs to show her something.
