While Tarrant County Assistant D. A. Alex Cahill is prosecuting cop killer Benny Carl Devlin (Ray Lykins), she gets a veiled threat from former Cuervo County sheriff Dewey Baker (Leon Rippy) - the first person she ever put away, because he routinely beat up suspects; he also terrorized anyone who complained about it. But Alex has no proof that Baker is the man who now stalks her, since Baker is having his former cellmate Duane Hopkins (Mark Walters) stalk Alex for him. Baker even kills Alex's horse, Amber. Then Baker kills Hopkins, whom he doesn't need anymore. Walker and Trivette spring into action when Baker abducts Alex and takes her to a remote cabin (not content with simply killing her outright).

Solid episode with Leon Rippy playing a creep who is seeking revenge for getting sent to prison for being a nasty sheriff. His target: Alex. He stalks her, has her apartment broken in, has Pervy stuff left on her bed and has her horse killed. Walker tried to get Alex to go in hiding, but does she listens? No - but that makes for a tense and engaging watch with us really wanting the former sheriff to get his goose cooked. There's some good interplay between Walker and Alex- nice dialogues. Rippy is excellent as the sinister former sheriff.

Terrific episode.

This is the very second episode of Walker Texas Ranger and I must say it was a brilliant watch. In only the second episode the relationship between Walker and Alex seems so strong and I give credit to their good acting and their chemistry. The relationship between Walker and Trivette is one-of-a-kind as well they are like polar opposites but work so wonderful together. Floyd Red Crow was instrumental as well.

"Spoilers" Alex is in the midst of prosecuting a scumbag who took out a police officer but at the same time it seems an evil ex-sheriff Dewy Baker(Leon Rippy), has just been released from prison and seeks vengeance on the prosecutor who put him there, Alex Cahill. For awhile it's just mind games, (stalking, killing her horse), and when the time was right he kidnaps her and takes her to some cabin in the woods where no one would hear her scream and now Walker and Trivette must save the day.

One actor I have to give credit to is Leon Rippy who gives a very sinister performance as Dewy Baker with his messed up teeth and spikey hair really adding to his menacing appearance. Great episode with suspense and a satisfying beatdown from Walker to Baker.
