Big Sky Season 1 E14 Preview: Is Cheyenne's Next Best Move The Truth?

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled (somewhat) weekly preview of ABC's Big Sky– the show that doesn't mess around with saving the jaw-dropping episode-enders for the midseason and season finales. Coming off an episode that kicked off with viewers learning Blake's (Michael Raymond-James) final fate at the hands of his bro J.W. (Kyle Schmid) and ended with Jenny (Katheryn Winnick) staring down a truck that's barreling towards her, this week's "Nice Animals" looks to shift the focus onto our two big bads: Horst Kleinsasser (Ted Levine) and his brood, and Ronald (Brian Geraghty) attempting to resist the temptations of old, deadly habits. For the former, it's Cheyenne (Britt Robertson) looking to shift her power position within the family by using what she knows about Blake's death. With the latter, Ronald's trying to have the best of both worlds as the walls close in ever-so-closer- as you're about to see in the following preview images, episode overview, and promo for ABC's Big Sky.

Big Sky Season 1, Episode 14 "Nice Animals" – Cassie, Jenny, Jerrie, and Lindor work to get things back on track when the motel is reduced to rubble and both the Kleinsasser and Ronald cases not doing much better. At the ranch, Cheyenne seizes an opportunity to shift the family power dynamic in her favor and all it will take is the truth.

Levine's Horst Kleinsasser has run the ranching empire for decades with petty ruthlessness, buying up failing ranches, making deals, expanding his grip on the small, rural Lochsa County. He's set up his children to compete and screw each other over. This once-powerful man has suffered a stroke and can only whisper, and knows he has to pass the ranch throne on to one of his children. Schmid's John Wayne Kleinsasser is second-born and angry- the sort of guy who drives a Ford King Ranch with an NRA decal. He clings to the old ways of the ranch with ferocity and forcefulness. John Wayne has used his father's illness to grab the reins of the ranch and steer it away from his brother Blake, the eldest son who turned his back on the family years ago.

Forbes' Margaret is the matriarch of the family, a seemingly picture-perfect ranch wife who knows her place, likes to bake, and loves all of her children equally- but scratch the surface and there's real steel beneath. Robertson's daughter Cheyenne Kleinsasser used to be "Daddy's girl," but that ended when she grew up, ran off, and made some poor life choices. Her brothers don't weigh her opinion at all, brushing aside her ideas for the ranch as feminine nonsense. Raymond-James' first-born son Blake Kleinsasser turned his back on the ranch and went to the city to make his own way. He's smart but a black-out drunk, and gets pulled back into the family dysfunction when he comes home to deal with the ranch. Dorsey's younger son Rand Kleinsasser is wiry, smart, and quiet with a coiled intensity. He loves his mother and hates her in equal parts- and still tormented by buried secrets.
