What Happened in Landman Season 2 Episode 7?
The previous episode, “Forever Is an Instant,” set the stage for escalating tensions on multiple fronts.
The episode opened with a heated argument between Tommy and his ex-wife Angela, which was unexpectedly revealed to have started over a dispute about an omelet during breakfast. While on a road trip with his son, Thomas, Tommy was advised to “slow down” and manage the overwhelming pressures in his life.
At M-Tex Oil, the crisis surrounding a failed offshore drilling rig intensified. Charlie informed Rebecca that the rig may have never contained usable gas, raising the alarming possibility that a recent hurricane was used as a cover-up for the project’s failure. This revelation puts the company at risk of losing millions and leads Nate to advocate for a lawsuit against their insurance company.
The episode concluded on a positive personal note, with Cooper proposing to Ariana in a heartfelt public moment, and she accepted.
What to Expect in Episode 8: “Handsome Touched Me”
The official title, “Handsome Touched Me,” hints at the complex interpersonal dynamics that define the series. The episode will confront the consequences of major decisions made in the previous chapter.
Tommy’s leadership will be tested like never before. With Cami now choosing to side with Dan, Tommy must navigate the fallout, which threatens to impact M-Tex’s crucial partnership with cartel boss Galino. He will be under immense pressure to protect the company’s assets while managing these internal conflicts.
Billy Bob Thornton, who plays Tommy, previously described his character’s season two challenge: “He goes from having a job that’s really difficult and a job that’s very dangerous to having two. Now I’m kind of executive and a landman and a family man in the midst of this tornado”.
The operational and financial risks for M-Tex are set to intensify. Rebecca and Charlie’s investigation into the drilling failure will continue, bringing more scrutiny to the project’s financial and insurance complications.
On the personal front, Cooper and Ariana’s new engagement will bring both celebration and new challenges. Meanwhile, the simmering tension between Tommy and Angela is expected to escalate further. Legal strategies spearheaded by Nate will also play a larger role, influencing the company’s direction and straining professional relationships.
