While hiking, a woman finds the body of a man who was dismembered by a bear. As Walt investigates the scene, he finds evidence that the victim may have been immobilized and baited with a chunk of flank steak. The corpse was a convicted murderer who was granted early parole due to prison overcrowding. Walt sends Vicky out with Omar, a local hunting expert, to find the bear. Just as the pair find the bear, Vicky clutches her shoulder in pain. She has been shot by a tranquilizing dart from the gun of a bear biologist. Walt begins to piece together parties who may have an interest or knowledge of the dead man's recent activities. First there is his sister and her husband with whom he had been living. The husband has not been thrilled to have an ex-con staying in the house. Next, are the parents of the girl that sent the dead man to prison. When they ask to view the body, the mother loses it. She grabs a knife and starts stabbing the corpse, seeking to inflict as many wounds as her daughter suffered. The vehicle that the mauling victim was driving is found at the house of an elderly sister of one of the prison guards. It is a meth lab where the drug is used to infuse greeting cards. It made a clever way to smuggle drugs to the inmates. Vicky, who has been in the hospital, grabs Walt's attention and points to her dart wound. It matches two such marks found on the corpse. Hence, the victim was immobilized with tranquilizer darts. Walt goes to the bear biologist's facility to check the visitor log. He eventually deduces that the person responsible was the former prison warden, who was seeking revenge for both the initial murder and the later murder of one of his deputies. Meanwhile, Branch's uncle Lucian Connally, the retired former Sheriff, lands in jail after discharging a shotgun three times in his retirement home. While in the Sheriff's office, he obliquely aids in the case as he annoys everyone around. Walt finds himself calling in favors to make the home readmit Lucian.
