[This story contains major spoilers from the season one finale of Marshals, “Wolves at the Door.”]

The first season of Marshals ended with a literal bang that left the life of two characters hanging in the balance, while also placing star Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) in harm’s way heading into the already renewed second season of the Yellowstone spinoff.

Two members of Kayce’s elite marshals unit — Cal, played by Logan Marshall-Green, and Belle, played by Arielle Kebbel — are ambushed by gunmen working for the Weaver family in the final moments of the season one finale, titled “Wolves at the Door.” The surprise betrayal unveils rancher patriarch Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey) as the mastermind behind the attacks on Broken Rock chairman Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and introduces Weaver as a season two villain in a land dispute that the Dutton son isn’t even aware of yet. As Cal and Belle are being shot at, Kayce, who just turned down Tom’s offer to buy his East Camp ranch, is riding off into the sunset with his new love interest, Weaver’s daughter Dolly (Ellyn Jameson), and Kayce’s son Tate is heading off with Tom — neither aware of the threat lurking ahead.
