[edit] Plot
After Peggy contacts police after discovering the body of Debbie Grund, Buck Strickland's former mistress who propositioned Hank who jilted her, the investigation begins.
Hank is desperate to keep knowledge of both Liz Strickland's and Debbie Grund's attempted seduction of him from Peggy. He's also desperate to keep anyone from finding out that he accidentally smoked marijuana with Debbie's roommate Gale shortly before her body was discovered.
Initially police begin to zero in on Hank as the prime suspect because of Buck is feeding police information and planting evidence in an attempt to frame Hank for the murder.
Hank refuses to give the police his true alibi for fear of losing Bobby's respect, but suddenly Gale is arrested for the murder apparently based on nothing more than he had no alibi and was a Northerner.
Hank keeps his silence even after Gale is arrested, though he voices his doubts about Gale being the murderer. However he confesses that he was with Gale smoking marijuana at the time of the murder.
The sheriff, blames Buck Strickland and then Liz Strickland, based only on the fact they both had motives.
The Texas Ranger who was called in by Peggy, for no other reason than she is a fan of the show Walker, Texas Ranger, solves the case. Debbie Grund had accidentally shot herself attempting to ambush the Stricklands after seeing their reconciliation.

- Sheriff: He was from somewhere up north with hair down to his butt crack and a layer of filth that just don't wash off.
- Bobby: I hope he doesn't get off on some pot-head technicality.
Hank: Those "technicalities" have a name, son. They're called the Bill of Rights.
Sheriff: Oh, he has a right—a right arm where they'll inject the needle.
