Sheriff Country is back from its long winter hiatus on February 27 to finally resume the assault on Edgewater’s police station that ignited in December. And in “Crucible, Part 2,” things are going from bad to worse to world-changing as the situation escalates in this tense hour that pits Sheriff Mickey Fox (the season’s coolest new action badass Morena Baccarin) and her squad against the town’s gun-hoarding, militia-like Barlow family.
As fans recall, the trouble began in “Crucible, Part 1” after Mickey interceded in a custody battle among members of the Barlow clan, who run a remote ranch that refuses to recognize law-enforcement dictates. Just as Mickey was handling the issue with the family’s patriarch, Enoch (Michael Gaston), the Feds swept in and arrested the guy for tax evasion.
