We just saw child and mother and father together for the first time. By the time we get to the next episode, there’s already going to be something thrown into it.”“Lone Star” truly wastes no time throwing that wrench in, as at the top of the episode, Wyatt comes to Station 126 to tell Judd he’s his father.
