Honesty is the best policy…unless you work in the oil field.
Love is in the air onBlood & Oil.
Billy and Cody are basking in the news that their baby is a boy.

Hap is ecstatic that his prodigal daughter has returned to work for the family business.
Rock Springs isnt quite a Norman Rockwell painting, but its close enough for these oil-crazed residents.
Cody is in full-nesting mode and decides that she wants to invite the neighbors to a housewarming party.
She leaves them to figure out the details.
Ada wonders about pots and pans.
Finn wonders about Kess perpetual absence.
He reminds Ada that he is always there for her.
His tongue is always there for her, too.
She picks up on this hint as he sticks it down her throat.
As Finn tries to heat things up in the kitchen, Ada pushes him away and leaves.
Later, Finn learns why Kess has been MIA for the past several weeks.
Kess has lost everything he and Ada have put into their business, thanks to blackjack.
Finn smiles at the fact that drugs are now offered on the menu.
Probably right below the tacos.
Meanwhile, Billy is still trying to figure out a way to make easy money.
This time, he decides that tankers are the way to go.
If you cant drill the oil, you’re free to move the oil.
He drives out to Cliftons house to execute the idea by him to see if hes willing to partner.
He busts through the house and finds a stoic Emma.
She explains that her grandfather had a heart attack.
They drive to the hospital to check in on the crotchety, yet lovable old man.
He likes Billys idea, but Clifton admits that starting a business is a young mans game.
Hes too old to hitch his wagon to Billy.
(How many episodes until Emma hitches her wagon to Billy?)
Clifton understands Billys disappointment.
But the only way to beat Hap Briggs is to become Hap Briggs.
You see, Hap Briggs has been around the block and uses people to get information he needs.
He wants to know if Wick is a suspect in the siphoning?
He is met with a silence that speaks volumes.
The Sheriff does say that he thinks Wick is hiding something.
Hap thinks Wick is hiding his common sense.
Especially when Wick tells an on-site driller that he doesnt care if the job is more complicated than expected.
Wicks game of high and mighty backfires, and the entire crew quits.
Every hour that a rig is down, its not making money.
Fortunately for Wick, Lacey steps in and saves the day.
She also gives all the credit to her brother.
Hap doesnt believe it for a second, but he congratulates Wick anyway.
No one ever spies Garry creeping in the background.
Wick and Garry sneak off to the drillers cabin to have a chat.
Wick is livid that Garry is still around.
Garry explains that he wrecked his car and his arm is in pretty bad shape.
Twenty-thousand dollars should keep him quiet for a while.
Wick tells him to sit tight at a motel until he figures out how to get that much cash.
Hap turns up at her place with a gift from his trip with Carla to Big Sur.
Jules ignores the gift and listens as Hap drones on about how he suspects Wick in the siphoning robbery.
Cut to Wick making a wrong choice in his life.
He visits Sheriff Harrison and confesses that Garry has been blackmailing him.
He just wants all of this to be over.
The Sheriff agrees, knowing that when Wick turns on Garry, Garry will turn right back on Wick.
Hell kill two birds with one stone.
The Sheriff and his lackey wait nearby.
Garry arrives looking like hes about ready to pass out from pain.
Wick mumbles through a prepared speech about keeping him safe, when the lackey makes a noise.
Did no one have a go at stop him because he never officially confessed?
Across town, Cody rushes over to Jules place to get her opinion on her party dress.
She sees a thrown-away box from Big Sur and quickly puts two and two together.
Billy assures her that nothing is going on.
Hap calls his bluff and invites Carla in himself.
Billy caves and chooses not to tattle.
Carla is confused by their silent stare-off and weirdo behavior.
Hap encourages her not to give it another thought.
Carlas not an idiot.
Her face is as severe as her hair.
Hap doesnt blink an eye when he tells her that she is the only one in his life.
Something tells me this will not satiate Carlas need for a name.
Carlas not the only one asking questions.
Cody asks Jules if shes having an affair with Hap.
Cody wants her to know that she isnt alone in the secret.
Hap calls at that exact moment to let Jules know that Billy just paid him a visit.
The cat is out of the bag.
Cody is angry at Billy for his role in Cody betraying her one friend in the world.
She leaves in a huff to go work a shift at the pharmacy before the party.
The only person he can count on is Cody.
Billy runs off to meet Cody who is preparing to close up the pharmacy.
A masked man walks up with a gun and demands the cash from the register.
Then he asks for some pills.
When he notices that shes pressing the emergency alarm, he pushes her to the floor.
She kicks him in the injured arm and then pulls off his mask.
Of course its Garry.
He begins kicking her relentlessly on the floor.
Billy drives up just in time to see the masked man leave.
He races in to find his wife lying listlessly on the floor with a bloody face.
I am officially going to be really sad if Cody loses the baby.
And Im officially over Garry and am ready for him to be punished for all his wrong-doings.
