SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from the “Landman” season finale, “Tragedy and Flies,” now streaming on Paramount+.

After an annoying penultimate episode that ended with two shockers, “Landman” ends Season 2 with its best episode. Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) has to deal with being fired by Cami (Demi Moore), Cooper (Jacob Lofland) has to face a murder charge and Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) has to learn a lesson – all of which ends in a satisfying way. Join us on one final trip to Texas this season with the recap below.

I’m not trying to be insensitive, but Tommy and his family have to leave this corporate house now that he’s fired, right?
“Because he’s trying to run the company like a business, rather than as a memento or a dream or whatever motivates her” – Tommy is really killing it, just like the fans who have been yelling at their TVs.
Dale (James Jordan) is a real one because of his loyalty. Respect!
Tommy, just let TL (Sam Elliott) enjoy his (very!) young companion (Francesca Xuereb).
“She’s not going to fire you. She could do that over the phone.” Ouch, Tommy!
Damn, Gallino (Andy Garcia) has a nice house. I guess that’s what happens when you’re a drug lord!
Can’t they better clean up Ariana (Paulina Chávez) and her wounds?
Aww, cute baby!
Oh, Paigyn (Bobbi Salvör Menuez) is back!
Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) never had to work out in high school?
Oh, huh… Paigyn is actually smart and nice…
“He was no longer a threat.” Um, Johnny (Mike Harkins) seemed very threatening! Cooper neutralized the situation and arrested the rapist. End of discussion.
Johnny died? Hurrah!
Calling Rebecca (Kayla Wallace) is smart! She must know some sharks.
Oh, damn, Rebecca already is on top.
Yep, Ariana – let these agents take care of business!
“Who the hell did he kill?” Tommy, understandably confused.
Okay, I like the friendship between Angela (Ali Larter) and Bella (Stefania Spampinato).
Eek, Angela is going to kill Tommy.
Oh, okay – the crisis is quickly averted.
Wow, how did Tommy completely avoid that car accident?!? Very “final destination”!
“Everyone with a law degree in the room raises their hand. Oh, am I the only one?” Give Rebecca a spin-off!
Jesus, Rebecca is amazing. I’m terrified! And… in love?
Okay, Ainsley, good for standing up for what’s right.
Aww, Ainsley befriends Paigyn. I love this sweet turnaround!
Wow! I’ve often made fun of Nate (Colm Feore) for being the fun cop, but I didn’t realize his swag when he flew to Cami’s office to quit. What a good chess move.
Tommy lets his pride get to him – that’s it He are you also having a heart attack?
Gallino vs. Tommy: It’s a showdown between big companies!
Tommy, with his tail between his legs, looks strange. But he got the money, so great, even though it’s from his enemy.
“It’s like looking in a mirror.” Phew, Gallino hit Tommy hard.
Damn, so much happened in one day. The sun is still shining!
Johnny actually died of one heart attack?!? What on earth?
Billy Bob is eating this scene up… nom nom nom…
Oh, this aspirin seems like foreshadowing…
I’m glad we’re not leaving this murder charge as a cliffhanger until next season.
Why does Tommy have so many strippers in his phone?
Aww, cute. I like this new oil company.
Long live CTT oil exports (and livestock)!
Phew, bad end to the season, Tommy.
Okay, good final bargain with God.
