Welp… I don’t know if a lot of Marshals fans expected that to happen.

Just as it was in Yellowstone, viewers of the Kayce Dutton-led spinoff are finding out that no character is safe. This past weekend marked the 11th episode of Marshals Season 1, which means there are only two episodes of the CBS procedural left. That is until Season 2 comes along, which has already been ordered and will start filming in May (and could air as soon as this Fall).

When it does return, one country music star that had a four-episode arc in the first season probably won’t be returning. Why? Well, I guess I should provide a spoiler alert right here, because the spinoff decided to end Riley Green’s story arc in shocking fashion this past weekend. If you don’t want to know what happened to the former NAVY Seal named Garrett that the “Worst Way” singer played in the show, don’t scroll any further.

Consider this line your last chance to avoid spoilers.

The May 10 episode had a lot of moving parts. Kayce Dutton and Cal were still dealing with the aftermath of the prison bus crash, all while flashbacks returned viewers to when Kayce and Cal were serving in the NAVY Seals alongside Green’s Garrett. In the current day, Riley Green’s Garrett was still recovering in the hospital from burns and smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at Kayce’s ranch.

Though he didn’t appear to be doing well when we had seen him last, there weren’t any real indications that he was on his death bed. But sure enough, when Kayce and Cal wrapped up their Marshals mission in the present day and went back to the hospital along with Andrea (Green’s romantic interest in the show) to visit with Garrett, a nurse informed them that Garrett’s injuries were too severe to overcome, and that he had died a couple of hours after Kayce had last seen him.

So I guess that puts all of the rumors that Riley Green would return for Season 2 to rest, eh?

The story of Garrett was tragic from the start, so it’s not all that surprising that it ended like this. After all, we knew going into Green’s run as Garrett would be a four-episode arc, and with how his story was going, it wasn’t going to make much sense for him to just leave Kayce’s ranch. The May 10 episode was the country music’s fourth – and now evidently final – episode.

The only hope, I suppose, is that you don’t ever see the body of Riley Green’s character. That’s an old TV trick… you only know that a character is actually deceased when you see them. If there’s no body, there’s always a chance of a return. That being said, this does seem like the closing of the door on Garrett, and if it is, Riley Green did a very commendable job portraying the troubled veteran.

As I touched on earlier, there are only two episodes left in Season 1 of Marshals. They’ll air on CBS at 8 P.M. EST the next two Sundays before the show takes a break and returns for an 18-episode Season 2 later this year.
