Sunny’s allegiance to Quinn is tested while M.K.
has a run-in with the Widow.
Is every episode ofInto The Badlandsgoing to open with a fight scene?

The Widow wants to recruit people to go after Quinn, but everyone is reluctant or scared.
Good help can be hard to find in the Badlands.
Seriously, she takes them all down so easily.
She stabs them about 17 times each before they even know whats happened.
Its so good you guys, and my favorite fight scene of the season so far.
One attacker is left alive, at least briefly, so the Widow asks who hired them.
He tells her that it was Ryder, Quinns son, who put the hit out on her.
With that information out, she kills him, leaves the club, and the opening credits roll.
I may be falling for this show.
has spent the whole night trying to escape, only stopping in the forest to drink some water.
When he does, he stumbles upon a girl about his age.
Shes quick with a throwing knife and kills a squirrel and easily sneaks up on M.K.
before he has any idea she even saw him.
When some of Quinns men and dogs are heard in the distance, she helps M.K.
escape, taking him across the border to the Widows land.
Because shes the Widows daughter, Matilda.
That explains her superior knife skills and superhuman speed.
Back in Quinns territory, hes working to figure out who among his men could have helped M.K.
escape, and also who could have hired the men to attack the Widow.
Sunny refuses to kill them, so Quinn does it himself, but not without a warning to Sunny.
He tells him that he doesnt often give second chances, so Sunny better be careful moving forward.
While the Baron is straight up murdering people, The Widow is making plans to take him down.
She invites a few Nomads to her house in hopes of recruiting them for her fight.
The men, of course, agree to the deal.
This family has some serious fighting skills.
With the Nomads now on her side, the Widow turns her attention to finding out if M.K.
is the boy with special powers who shes been looking for.
She tells Matilda to provoke him and draw blood.
While she initially agrees, M.K.
convinces her not to do it.
Instead, they fake the drawing of blood and, for now, convince the Widow that M.K.
doesnt have any crazy powers.
to make it look like they just wanted to find a secret place to smooch.
That angers the Widow enough to ask M.K.
to leave, to suggest that hes no longer welcome in her house.
The Nomads know that theres a bounty out for M.K.
While Quinn seems unsure of the information, Sunny offers to at least check it out with Ryder.
This is Sunny though, and hes got quite a few Nomad bodies in his past.
He even manages to balance on skinny beams and slaughter like eight dudes at once.
Anyway, Sunny manages to kill off most of the Nomads, but the ringleader gets the upper hand.
Not only does M.K.
With that in mind, Sunny brings M.K.
back to Quinns house, where he can keep him safe under his watch.
Hes going to train M.K.
Thats all well and good, but Quinn is ruthless and perceptive.
