Quinn O'Grady Returns After 6 Months as Staten Fights for Double K Trustee Seat

3 articles · Updated · Netflix Tudum · Jul 21

Summary

  • Six months after leaving for the New York Philharmonic, Quinn O'Grady returns to Ransom Canyon in the opening minutes of Season 2, catching Staten Kirkland off guard when ranch hand Jake tells him she is back.
  • Staten has been consumed by a fight to reclaim his trustee seat at Double K after his father Sam ousted him in the Season 1 finale and returned from a failed political run declaring another Kirkland is in charge.
  • That power struggle has bled into Staten's personal life: Josh Duhamel says he masked missing Quinn with a "revolving door" of women, but his reaction to her return shows his feelings remain intact.
  • Quinn, though, comes back with new complications after finding a new man in New York, setting up a fresh triangle with Staten and the mystery character played by Ben Robson ahead of the July 23 premiere.
