How does Season 1 end?
In the Sheriff Country Season 1 finale, Mickey discovers her DEA agent boyfriend, Alec Kane (Wes Chatham), is a dirty cop working with her ex-sister-in-law Miranda Fraley (Kelli O’Hara).
A confrontation between Mickey and Alec leads to a shootout where Deputy Boone takes a bullet, and DEA Deputy Director Eva Santos (Rachel Ticotin) kills Alec. Boone survives, and Santos delivers a surprising confession that she is Mickey’s presumed-dead mother.
