Previously on Jericho: Goetz killed Bonnie, and in return, Stanley killed Goetz in a morally questionable act. Jericho and New Bern appeared to come to an agreement, seemingly united against the oppressive occupation of Ravenwood and J&R.
Major Beck, none too pleased about the murder of Goetz, orders his men to round up the usual suspects: those being our main characters. They invade Mary Bailey's bar. Jake (Skeet Ulrich) and the Jericho Rangers are holed up and Stanley (Brad Beyer) wants to turn himself in.

The past two episodes of CBS' Jericho have not been easy to watch for fans of the post-apocalyptic drama. First came the surprising death of Bonnie Richmond (Shoshannah Stern), who was shot and killed by Goetz while trying to defend her family's farm. Then, in Tuesday night's episode, Bonnie's brother Stanley pointed a pistol at Goetz's head and pulled the trigger. It was an extremely dark and morally questionable moment for a man who is usually looked at as one of the more upstanding characters on the show.
BuddyTV readers haven't been able to stop talking about the shocking events of this week's episode. Will Stanley's decision to deliver an eye for an eye bring even more trouble to the beleaguered townspeople, or was it ultimately the right thing to do?

Previously on Jericho: Goetz and his men shot Mimi and killed Bonnie over some white-collar embezzlement. Elsewhere, Robert Hawkins slowly but surely continued to convince Major Beck the Cheyenne government is full of liars and criminals.
They reshow the carnage after Ravenwood's assault on the Richmond farm, and damnit, Stanley (Brad Beyer) is breaking my heart. They discern it was Ravenwood, and Jake (Skeet Ulrich) orders protection for Mimi (Alicia Coppola). Major Beck is called away to New Bern, where someone set off a pipe bomb at the J&R office. Beck orders no retribution against Goetz.

Jericho promised viewers a major death in last night's episode, and executive producer Carol Barber was on record as saying it would be “heinous.” In fact, many fans even predicted and expected it to happen. Sadly, that did nothing to lessen the emotional punch Jericho viewers experienced last night when Bonnie Richmond was killed.
Indeed, it was as “heinous” a death as any fan could imagne. Bonnie, played by Shoshannah Stern, was such a sweet and innocent character, a lovable farm girl who was, in many ways, the only real family Stanley (Brad Beyer) had left. The fact that both the character and actress who played her are deaf only added to that innocence, a character so pure that it's impossible not to root for her.

Previously on Jericho: Goetz returned to town, but Jake Green won the first battle. Hawkins started to convince Major Beck that Valente and the Cheyenne government aren't all that great. Jennings and Rall employee Trish helped the town and promised to whisk Bonnie away to the big city, most likely to meet boys and experiment with drugs (which Shoshannah Stern already did on Weeds).
Bad-ass Dale Turner (Erik Knudsen) does some shady dealings at Stanley's farm. Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) chastises him, and the next morning Goetz threatens to evict Dale from the store unless he registers with Jennings and Rall.

The post-apocalyptic CBS drama Jericho has been wowing fans since it returned for a second season. With only a total of seven episodes set to air, the series has been forced to ramp up the action and move things along at a breakneck pace. The most recent episode of the series left viewers rocked by the unexpected death of Bonnie Richmond (Shoshannah Stern), who was gunned down while defending her home. Now we have some spoilers for fans who want to know what to expect in the final three episodes of the season.

Before Tuesday's "Jennings and Rall" episode of Jericho aired, executive producer Carol Barbee appeared at WonderCon in San Francisco to discuss the fate of the series. She mentioned that the ratings for the third episode of the season would likely determine whether or not CBS chose to produce more episodes beyond the seven that were already completed. If the ratings swung upward from the previous week, that could bode well, but if they faltered then CBS would most likely refuse to order more episodes. Well, the ratings are in: Jericho pulled in 6.9 million viewers on Tuesday night, which is a 7.7 percent increase over its audience from the previous week, and a 2.9 percent increase over the season 2 premiere. What could this mean for the future of the series?

Previously on Jericho: Mimi got a job working for the (probably) evil Jennings and Rall, Hawkins got proof of the government's involvement in the attacks, President Tomarchio was smarmy, and Goetz from Ravenwood came back into town. I hope he wasn't expecting a parade.
A convoy pulls up to a military checkpoint in Indian Springs, Missouri. The leader of this road gang comes out, and it's…Dale Turner (Erik Knudsen), sociopath-in-training! He's trying to get to a trading post, but is turned around.
