Hallucinations and Reality in Walker
The plot of this week’s episode of “Walker” explores Cordell’s hallucinations in greater detail, making it harder to distinguish between reality and a dream. Leading Cordell into their bedroom—a very different setting from their actual house—Emily helps him choose an outfit and they strike up a conversation about ordinary things like traffic.
Cordell finds Liam, who travelled from New York, and the rest of the family gathered in the kitchen upon arriving at the ranch. Liam gives Cordell a drink, making comparisons to real-life incidents that bring to mind interactions with the Jackal. The scenario alternates between the dream and the real world as Cordell uses a flashlight to look into an argument at the door.
During the dream scene in “Walker”, Cordell recognizes persons he knows, including Hoyt, who gives him a warm hug and tells stories of how his daughter Sadie drove them there with Geri. Inside, Cordell witnesses strange interactions that confuse him, like strange comments made by people like Abby’s mysterious remark, “You don’t have to be here.”
Emily, Geri, and Abby converse in the kitchen as this is going on, implying that there are unspoken conflicts and doubts inside the family get-together. Hoyt and Cordell sit at the piano, discussing their mutual interest in event planning with Abby and Geri, while Cordell muses upon Emily’s emotional reaction to August’s graduation.
Cordell is battling a combination of his prior experiences and current difficulties. As he pockets a poker chip while playing poker with Bonham, he makes a throwback to past seasons. Emily reminds Cordell of her “what if” list because she feels uneasy and thinks he’s missing something crucial.
As Emily acknowledges her need for help, reiterating previous interactions where Cordell may have taken her for granted, their talk exposes underlying tensions.
While thinking about these things, a creaking door pulls Cordell outside, where he meets Hoyt. Hoyt shares a long-kept secret about having seen a touching moment between Cordell and Bonham, highlighting their relationship. In contrast, Hoyt’s disclosure that he proposed to Geri with an actual diamond ring represents a fresh start.
Race Against Time
Some scenes alternate between real-world scenes and dreamy ones in “Walker”, building to a moving scene at August’s graduation ceremony. Reflecting on lost chances with his son August, Cordell looks for forgiveness.
August’s speech contrasts Cordi’s journey with poignant and introspective times. It is an intensely felt speech. The strange encounter is made more surreal by the scenes that alternate between August’s statement and the bizarre picture of Cordi standing over a coffin, making it harder to distinguish between imagination and reality.
In a dramatic turn of events in “Walker”, Larry, Cassie, Trey, and Luna find themselves in a race against time as they search for Cordi and the Jackal. The motel room holds clues that Cordi left behind, making their pursuit of her all the more urgent. Suspicions arise when they find the laundry truck positioned in a way that hinders observation, which prompts them to venture farther into the forest.
Luna’s finding of a recently dug grave gives the hunt a spooky twist. The risk they are in is highlighted by his warning to Cassie and the attack that followed. A heart-stopping moment occurs when Larry and Trey discover Cordi in the shallow grave, capping their desperate search for him.
Lastly in this week’s episode of “Walker”, when Cassie discovers Luna is hurt and bleeding, the tension becomes even more. Trey’s frantic run towards them breaks up the intensity of the moment, as her agonized cries resound. Cassie is saddened as she cradles Luna in her arms since, despite their best attempts, his fate is sealed.
