He knows he's a Montana State Trooper, and says so, several times. He quotes from Jaws. But he (apparently) has no memory of being part of a kidnapping ring or killing that fisherman. I say "apparently" because I suppose it's possible that he's faking his amnesia, though I don't think so. He was, after all, shot in the head.
Meanwhile, Ronald has dyed his hair and killed his mother, as I knew he would (kill his mother, that is -- I had no idea he would dye his hair). He almost kills Rick's wife Merilee, when Jenny and Cassie show up at her door with a pretty good sketch of Ronald. The episode ends with them at the door, but it's a good bet that Rick's wife will survive, and in fact I'm pretty sure I saw her in the coming attractions.
So here's where it looks like this story may be headed. Rick continues his recovery, but still has no memory of what he was doing with Ronald. In fact, he could be helpful in nabbing Ronald, wherever he may go after leaving Merilee's house. The question then will be: when will Rick recover his lost memories, and realize he wasn't just a Montana State Trooper.
I'm still liking Big Sky, mostly now because it's less predictable than most narratives like this. I mean, yeah, it was clear that Ronald's mother's days were numbered, but Rick's trajectory, especially his being shot in the head and its aftermath, is continuously surprising. A good thing in a crime story.
See you back here next week.
