Following the events of the first season, Carrie tells Lucas that her first priority is getting her family back and that Lucas needs to disappear before his real identity is discovered. Rebecca is conflicted about leaving her previous life after the revelation that the bomb in the hotel killed the mayor but is reassured by Proctor. Later in the day she watches Proctor having sex with an unknown woman. Job and Sugar break into the morgue to steal the remains of the real Lucas Hood after the shallow grave the body was buried in was discovered. FBI Special Agent Jim Racine arrives in Banshee to conduct a closed federal hearing but it quickly becomes apparent that he is more interested in finding Rabbit. Consequently he is incredibly lenient putting the Sheriff's Department under federal oversight for two years, putting each deputy on probation and not punishing Lucas at all, as he was acting in the capacity of a civilian. Before leaving town, Racine reveals that Xavier will be removed from the case and tells Carrie she will face criminal charges unless she can provide information about her father's whereabouts. Job, Carrie and Lucas in a high-speed car chase, rob the armored truck from the casino but only manage to get away with a small portion of the money because a mysterious motorcyclist (later revealed to be Nola) is able to thwart their plan. George, a member of the Kinaho tribal council, uses this to question Alex's position as chief. Deva is caught shoplifting but escapes any consequences by threatening the security guard with an allegation of sexual assault. Carrie pleads with Gordon to help her with the pending charges but Gordon is resolute. Lucas later meets Nola in Sugar's bar and has sex with her. In the final scene, Racine questions a priest named Yulish connected to Rabbit who Racine alleges is hiding Rabbit whilst the priest implies he has knowledge that Racine has serious health issues.

2. The Thunder Man

The rivalry between Proctor and Alex comes to a head as Alex detonates C4 explosive in one of Proctor's cattle trucks and Nola kidnaps Rebecca. Proctor in turn calls in Lucas' favor and has Lucas bring Rebecca back to him alive. Lucas single handedly defeats all of Alex's guards before finding out that Nola was the one to kidnap Rebecca (following Lucas and Nola having had sex the previous night). After Lucas recovers Rebecca, Proctor and Burton approach Alex while he is making love to his wife in his hot tub, and threaten to kill all of his family members and drown him in their blood if he ever touches Rebecca again. While this is going on, Siobhan's violent ex-husband is back in town and pleads with her to remove a pre-existing restraining order so he can take a nearby job offered by his cousin. She complies but is attacked by him shortly after, leading to her brutally beating him over the head with a bible. Meanwhile, Carrie is sentenced to 30 days in prison but has 72 hours to set her affairs in order. After being driven to the prison personally by Lucas (who has painful memories from his experiences in prison), Carrie quickly gets into a violent fight with another inmate. Gordon continues to struggle and is seen in the final scene engaging in sexual activity with an unknown woman in the parking lot of the Gentleman's club, Savoy; as this is going on, Lucas stares at the bloody bible that Siobhan used to beat her husband with and grins.

His brother Chayton Littlestone is the leader of the Redbones gang on the reservation which is interested in maintaining the purity of the tribe. The BSD have no jurisdiction on the reservation but Lucas and his deputies enter it anyway in search of Chayton and Tommy. A large brawl ensues with members of the gang resulting in Chayton being detained and transferred as outstanding warrants against him take priority but Tommy is only taken in for questioning briefly as he is a minor.
