In the wake of a deadly diner shootout, the Diné Tribal Police are on high alert. The episode "Bikéé' Doo Éédahoozįįdę́ę́góó (Toward Their Unknown Paths)" opens with young Diné siblings Billie and Albert on the run, seeking a man named Leroy to resolve their troubles. Their flight is complicated by the arrival of a relentless assassin, portrayed by Franka Potente, who engages in a violent confrontation at the diner, resulting in fatalities.
Lt. Joe Leaphorn, contemplating retirement and his successor, feels pressure as the investigation unfolds. He and Officer Manuelito track clues from the diner, learning the assassin purchased coolant, indicating the runaways are heading toward an unknown destination.
