Ransom Canyon Season 2 Episode 5: That Leaves Two

Ransom Canyon episode 5 picks up with Staten out on his land after riding off at the end of episode 4; he has left town to live off the land and has become the topic of gossip. In his absence Quinn grows more smitten with Oliver, though she is still mulling the proposal, and the central couples remain at a tender place halfway through the season.

Lauren finds herself at the centre of Lucas and Kit's feud as the brothers snipe at each other. Oliver steals Quinn away on a date, breaking into the abandoned Lone Star theater where she has childhood memories; the piano is still on the stage and he has tuned it, and in the heat of the moment they have sex. Sam returns to town and Ellie works her con to get into his good graces; Yancy wants to hold back, but Sidney and Ellie insist there is no turning back.

Oliver tells Quinn he would move to Ransom Canyon for her, then calls her bluff about still being hung up on Staten. Lauren asks Kit to model as the cowboy for her festival poster; Kit regrets messing things up with Lucas. Lucas, hiding out at school on a Sunday, opens up to Ashley about his frustration with Kit and Lauren, and they smoke a joint outside. Quinn has an emotional reaction when Lauren presents her "No Place Like Home" festival poster.

In the woods, Staten is startled by a man who holds a knife to his throat: his younger half-brother Levi, out of his life for years. Staten asks him to return and vote against their father at the Double K. To bring the con home, Yancy and Sidney phone a friend to pose as a buyer for Fuller Ranch; Sam sees through the scheme but still wants in, believing they have found oil, and Ellie looks distressed.

Lauren and Kit are with the kittens when they give in and kiss, and Lucas witnesses it from outside before leaving without confronting them. Oliver and Quinn share a parting kiss as his cab arrives, ending their relationship as he returns to New York. Levi tells Staten that home is a person, not a place, promises an answer in the morning, and is gone when Staten wakes. Andrews then brings Kai a report: "Katie B" — Katheryn Beatrice Lockwood — is a person of interest in a homicide investigation, and the photo is Sidney.
