If you thought the Norrises had seen it all, this episode proved there’s always another twist waiting.
‘Landman Season 2’ finale: Here’s what happened
Let’s start with Tommy Norris. The guy gets fired from M-Tex Oil. Cami Miller pushes him out over constant fighting about how to run things. Tommy could’ve played it safe — Chevron offered him a cushy job. But he’s stubborn. He bets on himself and decides to go independent, using the oil leases his son Cooper landed. That move takes guts.To pull it off, Tommy reaches out to Gallino, the kind of oil investor who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty (cartel connections and all). Gallino buys Cooper’s leases from M-Tex and puts up cash for drilling. Suddenly, Tommy’s got the foundation for something new: CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, LLC. That’s Cooper, Tommy, and T.L. (Thomas) — all family. Cooper gets the president’s chair, T.L. runs the rigs, and some trusted friends fill in the gaps. This isn’t just business; it’s a shot at building something real with the people who matter.Cooper, meanwhile, barely escapes a disaster. A bar fight turns deadly, and for a minute, it looks like he could face murder charges. But the truth comes out — the other guy died from a heart attack, not Cooper’s punch. With Rebecca Falcone’s legal skills and Tommy’s pull, the cops stand down. The whole mess forces Cooper to grow up fast. He stops acting like a kid and starts thinking about the weight of his choices. On top of that, his relationship with Ariana gets stronger. The two of them seem ready to face whatever’s next.Back at M-Tex, things are a mess. Tommy’s out, and Cami scrambles to steady the ship. Nathan, whom everyone thought might take charge, walks away instead. Others quit, too. Nobody really knows where M-Tex is headed, and that uncertainty hangs over everything as the season closes.Ainsley, Tommy’s daughter, is off at college, finding herself and growing up in her own way. You can see the whole family changing, each in their own lane.One of the last moments sticks with you: Tommy faces down a coyote. Out there in the dark, he claims victory for now but doesn’t sugarcoat the future. “Today, we win,” he says — sure, but there’s a warning in his voice. Trouble’s never far off.
