Throughout the various action-packed events that take place in "Goodbye Is Always Implied," there are also several side plots occurring. Most of these have been developing all season long or for several seasons. The biggest one, arguably, is the blossoming romance between Vic and Walt.
After saving Nighthorse and stopping Malachi, the former's original plan comes to fruition and Henry takes over running the casino in hopes of steering it in a more honorable direction that will benefit the tribe.
Throughout "Longmire," it's been a big assumption among the characters that Walt refuses to give up being sheriff because he loves the job too much. This is a fair assessment as he's battled against rivals since the beginning, including an election against one of his own deputies.
The series comes to its conclusion with Walt retired and happy, possibly searching for the buried treasure that Lucian (Peter Weller) claimed to have found before his death. It also shows Walt's growth as a character, as he now owns a cell phone, a piece of technology that he never owned before.
Longmire. (TV series) Longmire is an American modern Western crime drama television series that premiered on June 3, 2012 on the A&E network, developed by John Coveny and Hunt Baldwin. The series is based on the Walt Longmire Mysteries series of novels by Craig Johnson.
In the first episode, Henry is still being held by kidnappers (led by Malachi) on the Crow reservation and might die if not found, but is finally freed by Walt with the help of the Crow medicine woman. Walt investigates a bank robbery with some unusual aspects. Based on the use of Jacob Nighthorse's wooden stakes in the Henry kidnapping, Walt still suspects Jacob of being behind Malachi but due to Jacob's fear of Malachi, Henry arranges a reconciliation with Walt. As a result, Jacob agrees to present Malachi’s “Red Pony” ledger to the FBI as proof that Malachi was using the Red Pony to syphon illegal profits. Walt discovers that Vic is pregnant. Walt starts his trial as does Chance who pleads guilty and then engineers his escape. In finding Chance Vic gets shot, and loses the baby. Another "Hector" appears, running Jacob and Henry off the road. Walt's civil trial goes badly, but the shooting of Tucker (who is also the attorney for the plaintiff) further complicates matters as Walt is immediately under suspicion. Vic attempts suicide. The death of former sheriff Lucian Connally ( Peter Weller) (Walt's mentor, and Barlow's brother) upsets Walt and makes him consider retirement. Jacob testifies to the collusion between Tucker Baggett and Barlow so that Walt's land can be taken and used for a golf course, revealing that despite their differences, he has a great deal of respect for Walt. As a result of emails that Jacob makes available, all charges in the civil suit are dropped. The death of the Irish Mob enforcer Eddie Harp is revealed to have been staged and he is discovered back selling heroin on the reservation. Walt remains unconvinced of Jacob's innocence particularly after he confessed to having accepted funding from Shane Muldoon, the head of the Irish Mob. Malachi kills Muldoon and then kidnaps Henry and Jacob to force Jacob to cede the deeds for the casino to him. Malachi and his men face a final showdown with Walt, Vic, Ferg and the recently re-instated Zach Heflin ( Barry Sloane ), joined by Mathias' Cheyenne Tribal Police, ending with Walt killing Malachi and Henry killing Darius Burns (Joseph Daniel Havenstar), his second in command. Walt and Vic commence a relationship, as do Cady and Zach. Walt retires after convincing Cady to run for the job of Sheriff. Walt leaves searching for the buried treasure that Lucian had convinced him that he had found, while Henry takes over Jacob's casino.
They discuss the suicide of Gorski's former partner, whom Vic had implicated in a corruption scandal that prompted an internal affairs investigation. Gorski blames Vic for his partner's death and begins to stalk her. Frightened by Gorski's manner, Vic asks Henry for help, and Walt visits Gorski to warn him away.

The Longmire TV series had six seasons, of which there were ten episodes each except season 2 that has 13. The following are the summary of each season;
As expected, Walt decided to conduct a thorough search of Donna’s kidnappers and eventually rescue her. Nighthorse also became obsessed with Malachi and believed that he was making money illegally at the casino owned by Nighthorse.
He tells Longmire that he will no longer pursue the civil suit, but Walt dissuades him, noting it could appear as collusion. Good, level-headed point. Though I’m often at odds with his questionable police tactics, Walt makes the right decision in taking Ferg to the late Tucker Baggett’s house to look for clues.
No bullet is found in the upholstery of the chair, proving the culprit is covering bases. Cumberland County Sheriff Jim Wilkins (Tom Wopat) interrupts their search and frisks them, having been appointed by Sawyer to temporarily take over Longmire’s duties while the trial is underway.
This last season of Longmire is pulling out all the stops, resulting in unexpected twists, turns, and drop-offs—literally, in this case, toward the end of the episode. It all begins with Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) on the first day of his trial and the verbal castration he takes from lawyer Tucker Baggett (Brett Rice). Even Lucian Connolly (Peter Weller), who’s on Walt’s side, said if he was on the jury he would vote to convict.
Lucian waxes poetic, quoting Allen O’Brien from Lonesome Dove, “This goddamn country has burned up my tears.”. He asks Longmire to “finish it,” but Longmire refuses, so Lucian makes a mad dash for a nearby cliff and jumps. At the rocky bottom, Longmire cradles his dying mentor.
David Cranmer is the publisher and editor of BEAT to a PULP. Latest books from this indie powerhouse include the alternate history novella Leviathan and sci-fi adventure Pale Mars. David lives in New York with his wife and daughter.
Lucian won’t allow Longmire to place him in cuffs and heads outside where he forces a duel, drawing on Longmire. But neither wants to kill the other: Longmire gets shot in the thigh, and Lucian in the hand. Lucian waxes poetic, quoting Allen O’Brien from Lonesome Dove, “This goddamn country has burned up my tears.”.
Longmire drags Barlow out of the house to take him to the hospital. Barlow struggles, pulls out a knife, and stabs himself twice in the gut. Barlow’s last snarky words are “Good luck explaining this one.”. The tremendous scene is slightly marred by Longmire pulling the knife out of Barlow’s belly.
Walt doesn’t look like he fancies meeting Barlow Connally playing Martha’s piano. High Noon indeed. This episode started slow, but made it to a big-bang finish, with no one willing to believe in our hero anywhere along the way. Looking suspicious through most of the episode, Longmire is so determined to bring Jacob Nighthorse (A Martinez) ...
When Longmire tells Barlow Connolly (Gerald McRaney) that he’s convinced Branch was murdered, he feels he’s found a kindred spirit. Barlow aligns himself by bringing up examples of Nighthorse’s unscrupulous practices. Of course, Longmire wants to believe the worst of Nighthorse and is easily steered by Barlow.
But when Longmire requests a warrant to search Nighthorse’s property, Judge Mayhew (Ralph Alderman) turns him down and rightfully chastises him for deputizing his best friend, Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips).
Connally hated the Longmire family for a variety of reasons. Walt refused to do business with Barlow and refused to bend the rules as a courtesy. Connally saw Walt as an unnecessary inconvenience, so he groomed his son Branch to take over as sheriff of Absaroka county.
Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. He pulled a gun on Walt who was forced to shoot him down. The dying Barlow laughed, making Longmire realize the gun was empty.
Ridges was paid $50,000 through Big Pine Timbers (which was associated with Nighthorse’s casino). The owner of the company, Barlow Connally, paid Ridges to kill Martha Longmire. Connally was a local land developer who saw the casino as a foot in the door; an untapped resource he could finally have access to.
Martha Longmire died a complicated death, and this is how it happened. Prior to her death, Martha Longmire was actively fighting the development of Jacob Nighthorse’s casino.
Longmire targeted the Natives because they had the most to gain from Martha’s death ; he further assumed their guilt when, after digging up Miller Beck’s body (as most normal people do), he found a warrior's feather lodged in the killer’s throat. At that point, Walt’s goal was to prove their involvement and put them away.
Finally, and most obviously, Martha Longmire’s vociferous and public protests against the casino was costing him money and time. Not only did he need the public on his side to get the casino built, he was spending money fighting against Martha.
One of the driving points of the Longmire series is the titular character’s struggle following the death of his wife. Never seen in the television series proper, she’s a specter that hangs over his decisions and provides many of the frowning lines across his sagging brow. Much of the early seasons hinged on Walt Longmire ’s investigation ...

In its first season, Nancy DeWolf Smith of The Wall Street Journalcalled the series "the best of two worlds: a modern crime drama with dry wit and sometimes heart-wrenching emotion that's also got a glorious setting under the big sky of Wyoming." She added: "If it weren't for a few modern conveniences, like cellphones and trucks, it might as well be 1875, so rugged and unspoiled doe…
