Landman Episode 7 recap: Tommy reaches breaking point with Ainsley

Dec 22, 2024

As a seasoned gamer of life, having navigated through countless episodes of drama, intrigue, and suspense, I must admit that Landman has managed to keep me hooked with its gripping narrative. Episode 7, ‘All Roads Lead To A Hole’, was no exception. The plot twists were as unexpected as a sudden oil gusher in the middle of the desert!

Previously, Tommy ensured punishment for Cooper’s assailants in the latest Landman episode, while in ‘All Roads Lead To A Hole’ (Episode 7), Cooper embarks on a path towards healing with Ariana. [Be aware: major spoilers follow!]

In addition, by the end of Landman Episode 6, Angela officially divorced Victor, allowing her relationship with Tommy to progress smoothly. Meanwhile, our landman encountered ominous threats from the cartel, which only intensified the challenges faced by him and Monty in their line of work.

In the seventh episode of Taylor Sheridan’s gripping oil saga, I, along with Angela and Ainsley, are adjusting to our daily grind in Midland. We discover an unexpected source of fun amidst it all. Simultaneously, Tommy is busy setting up new drills while keeping a watchful eye.

Here’s our full recap of everything that goes down in Landman Episode 7.

Monty gets an offer in Landman Episode 7

In Episode 7, Tommy heads to the hospital intending to bring home a weakened Cooper. However, Ariana had gotten there first. Tommy yearns for his son to return home, but Cooper questions, “Where is ‘home’ for me?” In response, Tommy cautions Ariana about potential danger surrounding Cooper, yet she remains unfazed. She takes him to her house instead, resolute on caring for him.

In the meantime, at the gym, Ainsley encourages Angela to seek employment, yet Angela shows no inclination towards work and prefers to rely on a wealthy spouse for support.

Over at The Patch Café, Tommy is enjoying his midday meal alongside Dale and their superior, who’s been on edge due to having to operate close to the patch. However, Tommy remains optimistic, believing that the cartel’s current approach involves merely issuing threats, not actually carrying them out for now.

Then, I receive a call from Monty, who shares exciting news about a “drill-for-profit” opportunity he’s been presented with. In essence, this means we’d earn interest once we drill to a specified depth. Interestingly, this deal has come up through a friend of Monty’s, who prefers to borrow money from him instead of the bank.

Tommy cautions him that the proposed land is teeming with smugglers, but Monty is confident he’s got everything required to see this through. Following a tentative understanding between them, Monty seals the deal with his associate by insisting on receiving 100% of the earnings until he recovers his initial investment.

Angela and Ainsley find a new hobby

While traveling home, Angela and Ainsley pass a senior living facility. Compelled to contribute positively, they pull over and choose to engage with the elderly residents, providing companionship. Noticing their lack of entertainment, Angela leaves to purchase board games, music systems, and festive snacks.

Upon her return, they’re planning a celebration that hasn’t occurred for many years. Yet, just as it was about to start, a nurse intervenes to halt the festivities. As a result, Angela and Ainsley depart, but prior to leaving, they arrange for another gathering at a later date.

Tommy and his team travel to the latest location, carrying their equipment and accompanied by one security officer. Tommy’s strategy involves rotating crews until the project is completed, ensuring that the work area is always well-stocked. However, his plan doesn’t have a chance to unfold, as the cartel unexpectedly arrives on the scene.

Jimmy, the head of the gang, dispatched his minions to intimidate Tommy and demand payment for the goods lost in the plane crash before any drilling could commence. However, Tommy’s support team stood by him, causing the gang to retreat – at least for the moment.

Ainsley meets Ryder

While on his journey home, Tommy receives a phone call from Angela, who invites him to join her at the local bar. Upon arrival, he discovers that she’s teasing an unfortunate pool player by making suggestive gestures to distract him during the game. (It seems effective – she manages to win his money effortlessly.)

They dance together, and Tommy advises her against forming deep bonds with her friends residing at the retirement community.

That particular evening, I found myself mingling at a lively college party where Tech-bound quarterback Ryder caught my gaze. As we started conversing, I shared my ambition of becoming a philanthropist, with dreams of marrying an NFL quarterback one day. Intriguingly, when I inquired about his athletic aspirations, he confidently declared, “Absolutely, I’ll make it to the NFL!

That evening, Cooper finds himself at Ariana’s residence, and later, he stirs from sleep. He moves to rouse Ariana on the couch, suggesting they might both sleep in the bed. Upon doing so, she wraps her arms around him, confessing that it’s been since Elvio’s funeral when she last received a hug.

At home, Angela is growing agitated by Tommy’s snoring. She wakes him up, concerned because Ainsley is still out past curfew. Using her phone to track Ainsley’s location, she sees that she’s in the heart of the desert. Unable to relax, Tommy decides to take action and goes out to find Ainsley with Angela’s phone.

Tommy breaks up the patch party

Later at the party, Ainsley and Ryder are cozying up in the backseat of his car. But before things escalate, Tommy unexpectedly appears and strikes Ryder in the neck. As a result, Ainsley’s Friday night is abruptly cut short. Unfortunately, one of Jimmy’s associates happens to witness this unfold from afar.

After a long gaming session on my way home, I find myself irritated when Ainsley starts oversharing once again – this must be the 100th time! It’s been seven episodes of inappropriate conversations that have pushed me over the edge. Upon reaching our place, I can’t help but let her know she’s grounded from our gaming sessions for a while.

The following morning, I found myself beside Cooper and Ariana, our faces meeting in a tender morning kiss. However, before things could escalate further, the doorbell chimed, disrupting our moment. Ariana answered the door to reveal Nate and Rebecca standing there, carrying on from where they left off after their consoling session the day prior.

Nate is making an effort to convince her that they’re not deceiving her, but Rebecca uses emotional pressure by stating that if she doesn’t approve the agreement, it will affect other families’ financial situations. Upon Cooper’s entrance to examine the contract, Rebecca greets him cheerfully, saying, “We’ve been waiting for you.
