In the third season premiere episode, Walt deals with the aftermath of Henry’s arrest and Branch’s shooting. The search for the shooter, however, is complicated by Branch’s insistence that it was someone known to be dead.

After a wilderness leadership trip takes a dark turn, Walt and the team must track down a killer and missing teenaged campers. Branch, meanwhile, continues his unsanctioned pursuit of his shooter.

Walt teams up with Lucian Connally (recurring guest star PETER WELLER) to narrow the field of suspects in the aftermath of his wife’s murder. And while the team tries to track down a witness who could help Henry’s case, Branch’s behavior causes trouble.

Although he has serious concerns about Branch’s behavior, Walt makes a key discovery in the David Ridges case. And while Henry faces a major setback in his trial, Vic makes an important decision about her future.

In the third season finale, Walt seeks closure for both his wife’s murder and Henry’s case. And although Branch is suspended, he continues to look into Jacob Nighthorse (recurring guest star A MARTINEZ).

When a former suspect in a rape case ends up dead in another county, Walt and Vic aren't convinced the death is an accident.
