How did keith become sherrif immediately after whats his face died?

wouldnt the title go (at least temporarily) to a deputy or anyone who was actually a police officer at the time?

this big plot mistake is not the teen vogue way of doing things.

Aw Lamb. I'm gonna miss you - it really sucks that you had to die. I wish we had gotten to know you better. You had some promise last season but this season you were regulated to the one dimensional jackass that we first got to know you as in season 1. RIP

Great recap flipit! Wowza on the pics!

I think that the commissioner called Keith to be the new sherriff b/c Keith and Lamb were in a close race for sheriff last year, so he was technically the "runner-up" in that situation, much like the Miss America contest does it. He can be the interim sheriff until a new election can take place. Not only did they kill off Lamb, but they killed Richard Greico too! How's that guy gonna get another acting gig?

I want to know why Mindy O'Dell's house was all covered in plastic. Major remodeling- or was someone trying to cover up some evidence of a crime now that they know they are suspected of murder? I agree w/you though flip that Landry could NOT be dumb enough to kill someone in a monogrammed shirt and then hide the evidence so badly. Even I would know to burn the shirt afterwards. Maybe if Mindy did it, she got her ex to type the suicide note afterwards for a cash payout. I'm excited for this week's episode!

Ah! Great point, ZB! I should have had more faith in the writers. They don't screw up too often, and if they took time to explain every single detail to me, the show would be three hours long.

"teen vogue way of doing things" ? LOL, kev.

and g3, i am still a bit depressed over the demise of that strong pretty man. booooooo.

It was sad to see Lamb go. But I like to imagine that it's because the actor is moving on to another series with a bigger role, part of the eternal cycle of tv life.

On the other hand, Richard Grieco will have to find another way to support his meth habit.

Put me in the 'oh hell no' camp for a Logan/Bronson hook-up.

Awesome recap, Flipit! I totally agree, Lamb was a total hottie...was sad to see him go. But it is exciting to see Keith as Sheriff!

Not to be anal, but I love politics. It's not that Keith inherits the position because he was runner-up. The County Commissioner is the executive of the jurisdiction and has the power to fill the vacancy with anyone at all, until the next election.

So, it's not like Miss America. It's more like how the governor of a state can fill a Senate seat (with anyone he/she wants) if it suddenly becomes vacant.

Great recap Flip. And I reread sober, LOL.

The one thing that bugged me (I think I mentioned it in the forii), and this is because of my not being good at suspending disbelief, but when it's said that because of the basketball game all the shows were shifted an hour. That happens, but usually it shifts back around 2 am. But it's not a big deal.

I also was curious about Keith becoming sheriff so quickly. I thought I had totally missed something when I saw him in uniform, guess not.

Bye bye, our favorite Lamb. And thanks for the nice pics Flip.

Excited for ZB's recap next week.

thanks for the explanation Gigi! It makes sense that the CC would call on Keith to be sherriff.
