'Marshals' Season 2 Premiere Confirms Who Killed Garrett

Collider reports that the Season 2 premiere of "Marshals" finally confirms who was behind last season's most heartbreaking death.

In the episode titled "All Hat No Cattle," Andrea (Ash Santos) learns after Weaver's arrest that he ordered the East Camp barn fire. The fire killed Garrett "Double G" Garvey, a former SEAL brother of Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and Cal (Logan Marshall-Green).

Weaver wanted to demoralize Kayce into selling the last parcel of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. When that failed, he resorted to kidnapping Tate (Brecken Merrill). The plan worked on paper but ended with Garrett's death.

Garrett had come to Montana seeking a fresh start after dealing with PTSD. He had begun a romance with Andrea, making his death especially hard for her.

Collider notes that leaving Weaver alive after he sent his own daughter to her death suggests the show may be setting him up as a long-term nemesis. But the jury is still out.

The outlet also points out that Season 1 had uneven episodes and that Weaver as the big bad felt half-baked. Now that the plotline is resolved, the series may find its footing.

Garrett connected Kayce and Cal to their Marine Corps roots. The show will likely continue exploring their demons. Collider hopes for more appearances from Kayce's other SEAL brothers, like Cade McPherson, who appeared on "Yellowstone."

"Marshals" airs Sundays on CBS and streams the next day on Paramount+.
