Marshals Episode 6 Brings Back A Familiar Face From Yellowstone To Honor Monica's Memory

The April 5 episode of "Marshals" marked the one-year anniversary of Monica's death, eliciting strong emotions from Kayce and Tate, as well as the return of another familiar face from "Yellowstone."

Picking up directly after last week's cliffhanger, Kayce was on the hook for giving Hayley back to the traffickers, taking heat from both the reservation and from his own son. Thomas Rainwater accused Kayce of throwing their girls to the wolves, while Tate opted to hit below the belt: "So much for honoring mom by finding her." (The sass on that boy!) With Broken Rock's annual memorial ceremony fast approaching, the clock was ticking for Kayce to find those missing girls — and it was ticking loudly.

That desperation served Kayce well when the Marshals infiltrated a bar known to be frequented by the Iron Sentinels, kindly described by Belle as a "mafia on wheels." Tired of waiting for their targets to leave the bar unattended, Kayce went rogue, lighting their motorcycles on fire and drawing them out. This gave the other Marshals enough time to steal crucial data from a gang member's phone, leading them to an Iron Sentinels rally where they'd likely find the missing girls.

It took quite a bit of elbow grease — including a full biker-chick makeover for Belle, whose cover was blown by someone who recognized her as a Turek — but the girls were eventually found, and the entire group was able to attend the Broken Rock ceremony having finally given them closure.

And what would a memorial be without at least one family reunion? When Kayce arrived at the ceremony, he was greeted by Monica's grandfather Felix Long (played by Rudy Ramos, last seen in the series finale of "Yellowstone"). Felix was pleased to see Kayce, saying, "Losing Monica was painful enough. Your presence makes me feel like I haven't lost another son, too." 

Of course, Felix wasn't the only person glad to see Kayce at the Broken Rock memorial. Thomas Rainwater, who was far less welcoming of Kayce earlier in the episode, greeted him with a hearty handshake and a touching confession: "I once told Monica that she made a difference because she risked everything," he told Kayce. "Perhaps she learned that from you."

We got another sweet moment when Kayce finally parted with Monica's necklace, which Tate had been looking for to bring to the ceremony. Kayce confessed that he's been clinging to it ever since Monica died, musing aloud, "Maybe it's time I start letting go" as the camera panned to a picture of the dearly departed.
