Season 9 • Episode 24
LatestIn the two-hour season finale, a notorious gang Walker put away returns for brutal revenge. The gang escapes from prison and targets each Ranger. As his closest friends are marked for death, Walker is torn between catching the killers or helping his wife, who is rushed to the hospital when she goes into labor. Meanwhile, Trivette reunites with an old flame and prepares to get on one knee and ask for her hand in marriage, and questions are finally answered regarding the infamous Hayes Cooper.
Modern-day Texas Ranger, Cordell Walker's independent crime-solving methods have their roots in the rugged traditions of the Old West. Walker's closest friend is former Ranger, C.D. Parker, who retired after a knee injury, and now owns "C.D.'s," a Country/Western saloon/restaurant. Rookie Ranger, James "Jimmy" Trivette is an ex-football player who bases his crime-solving methods on reason and uses computers and cellular phones. Alex Cahill is the Assistant DA who shares a mutual attraction with Walker, but often disagrees with his unorthodox approach to law enforcement.
