Lone Star Episode 1.02 One in Every Family

Newly wedded Bob and Lindsay are walking through an airport when a man recognizes Bob as "Frank Colson" and - claiming he's owed $25,000 - attacks him. Police intervene. Bob denies knowing the man, who vows revenge as the police escort him away.

When Bob and Lindsay tell her parents about their marriage, Lindsay's mother gets angry because they didn't get to be part of the wedding. But Lindsay is happy. She wishes Bob was around more, but life is so exciting when he's there, she'll accept his absences.

As Bob rhapsodizes about the big wedding Lindsay deserves - and will get - scenes from his marriage to Cat unfold. Turns out that Cat's at home watching a videotape of the wedding because her son (Bob's stepchild) wanted to see it, and Bob arrives in the middle of this.

Jack tells Bob that he's not happy about this second marriage, or his plan to do business in a place where he's just fleeced everyone. Bob says the wind farm will enable them to pay those people back, plus make a profit. Jack's concerned that Bob doesn't have an exit plan.

Bob explains that he'll let Trammell discover the money invested in the wind farm is missing, then he'll quit the Thatcher firm. But Clint will forgive him because Bob's going to partner with Drew, and Clint will want to remain close with his son. Jack thinks it's too risky. Bob asks Jack what's more important: money or their sticking together?

While Bob implements the first two steps of his plan - Trammell's happy; Clint's not convinced - Jack sells several different people the same foreclosed house he doesn't own. Finding himself alone at the end of the night, he tells Bob he wants in.

Meanwhile, Drew gets busted for DUI. As Cat reminds the police how much they've benefitted from her family's charity work - and gets the charge dropped (the arresting officer, who went to school with them both, disapproves) - Bob asks Drew to join his venture.

Lindsay and her mother are planning the guest list for the big wedding, but her mother is concerned that Bob has no guests, and that Lindsay knows almost nothing about her husband. Lindsay rummages through a box of Bob's possessions, finds a high school yearbook - with no mention of Bob in it - and calls the school to ask about him.

After Drew tells Trammell he's joining Bob's venture, Trammell and Clint visit a wind farm where they're introduced to technical advisor "John Gardner" (actually Jack), who delivers a fine line of jargon, touting profits and tax advantages, then excuses himself.

Clint's sold, but he wants to keep the investment in the family and demands that everyone answers to him. Bob makes sure that Drew is the one who makes this deal with his dad.

Bob takes Jack to Thatcher headquarters and sets him up in a cubicle. Clint wants lunch. Bob wanted Jack to drop him at the airport. Clint wins. Jack's not happy.

Bob arrives at Lindsay's, hears the shower running, and strips to join in- but it's not Lindsay! It's her sister, Gretchen, who Lindsay dislikes because "she ruins every good thing" that's about to happen to her.

As Jack struggles with the company phone system, Gretchen tells Bob that she knows she's a screw-up, adding "there's somebody like me in every family."

Trammell - suspicious that their new tech efforts are managed by a guy who doesn't know how to use the phone - needs Jack to sign some documents. As Jack does, Trammell sneers, calling him "a middle-aged man in a cubicle in a cheap suit."

Bob's doing his usual cell phone/wallet switch - but one of his phones is missing. Next morning, Clint and Jack share an elevator and Clint tells Jack that story about Bob's father having abandoned him. Jack seethes.

Meanwhile, Lindsay won't let Gretchen smoke in her car, but wants her to be the maid of honor. Gretchen is overjoyed and starts making big plans. Lindsay tells her to amp down; Gretchen agrees.

Bob confronts Jack about not showing up for his job at Thatcher headquarters, but Jack's angry that Bob told Clint his father abandoned him. Bob's dismissive, not realizing their companionship is all Jack has.

Gretchen retrieves her cigarettes from Lindsay's car, finds Bob's missing cell phone, and dials "John." Jack answers: "What do you want, son?"

Bob comes home, discovers a phone message saying there's no record of him attending the place - and erases it. Gretchen watches this and asks him why "John" called him "son." Bob says it's a Texas thing. She doesn't buy it, but - putting Lindsay's happiness first - lets it slide.

Lindsay admits to snooping on Bob, who says he kept that yearbook because he's actually in one picture - the only record of his school days.

Drew gets drunk with Jack, who puts in him a cab, lifts his access card, and uses it to enter Thatcher headquarters, where he starts studying various documents.

Lindsay asks Bob if there's at least one person he wants on his guest list. He says there's one guy from work (obviously Jack) - which makes Lindsay happy - but he doesn't think he'll come.

Meanwhile, Jack makes a phone call, asking someone for help, explaining there's tens of millions of dollars on the table, that Bob's not involved, and he's "taking this one down alone ... "
