What's Inside?

- Episode 9 quietly builds tension between teammates, using song lyrics and subtle exchanges to hint at evolving bonds and possible romance.
The world of Marshals is no stranger to quiet, character-driven moments, but Episode 9 found a way to slow things down just enough to let something more personal breathe. After a tense rescue mission and a long stretch of emotional reckoning, the series closed its latest chapter not with gunfire or cliffhangers, but with a song. And not just any song. Garrett, the newly introduced former SEAL and brother-in-arms to Kayce, finally stepped into the spotlight, guitar in hand, offering a glimpse of who he is beneath the scars. Riley Green adds something more than viewers’ expectations.
Marshals Episode 9 End Song Brings Riley Green’s Garrett into Focus
Riley Garrett’s arrival in Marshals last week added intrigue. His presence felt purposeful from the start, but Episode 9, titled “In Low Places,” gave him room to belong. Played by Riley Green, Garrett quickly proved his worth in the field, using sharp instincts and steady composure to help save Cruz. Yet it was what came after the mission that truly mattered.
The team gathered at Kayce’s home, letting the weight of the day settle under a wide Montana sky. It was Cruz who nudged Garrett toward the moment. A simple ask, really. Sing something. Garrett agreed, but only if it felt right. That meant a bonfire, open air, and no pressure beyond the crackle of flames.
What followed was “My Way,” a song Green had just released before his on-screen debut. The choice did not feel accidental. As Garrett sang about love, regret, and roads not taken, the lyrics landed differently for each person around the fire. No one said much, but they did not need to. The camera lingered long enough to show it all. Belle and Cal sat with unspoken tension. Cruz, still healing, watched Kayce with a mix of gratitude and concern. And Kayce himself drifted away, pulled by thoughts he could not quite shake.
The scene unfolded with quiet precision. Andrea joined Kayce, asking if he wanted space. He did not. Their exchange felt easy, almost grounding. When she confirmed she had nearly escaped danger on her own, she teased him, saying, “Cowboy getting all cosmic on me.” It was a small line, but it carried warmth. A few beats later, Cruz lightened the mood with, “Also don’t have people kidnapping me back East.” Then came the line that lingered: “As long as I’m here, I’m glad I’m on the team with you.”
As if to underline everything left unsaid, Garrett’s voice cut through again with the lyric, “If I had it my way, I would just lean in and kiss your lips right now.” The episode ended there. No resolution, just possibility.
Riley Green on His Marshals Performance and Acting Debut
For Riley Green, stepping into Marshals marked his first real acting role. Known for his steady rise in country music, he brought a lived-in authenticity to Garrett that did not feel forced. In conversation with Decider, he explained how the opportunity came together and why this moment on screen felt different.
“I watched everything that was out, just like everybody else did. All [Sheridan’s] movies and TV shows have something special sprinkled on them. Seeing how good Tim McGraw was in 1883… that is probably what got me interested in acting. I’ve gotten to know Tim over the years,” Green told DECIDER. “In the past, I had it in my head that acting was something you were not born able to do. You had to go to drama and theater class in high school. You had to be in plays. I didn’t do any of that. I was playing three sports through school and did construction work. When I found out how Tim was able to learn how to act—and certainly learn well—it gave me an idea that maybe it was something I could try. He was one of my favorites on that show.”

When it came to filming the performance, Green admitted it felt like familiar territory.
“Filming that was probably more comfortable with that scene than any of the others because it was similar to filming a music video. I wasn’t initially going to perform on the show. However, when I found out that there was a spot in Garrett’s second episode where I could perform a song, I really tried to find something that fit. Lyrically, ‘My Way’ just made the most sense in light of what was going on in Garrett’s story. I was sitting there playing the song for 3 or 4 people, just like you would if you were at a campfire in real life. It was an organic performance that I think will come through in the next episode.”
That sense of ease showed. Nothing about the scene felt staged. It felt earned.
Garrett’s final line to Kayce earlier in the episode hinted at what lies ahead. He is not passing through. He is staying. And if Episode 9 proved anything, it is that Marshals is willing to let its characters speak not just through action, but through silence, music, and the spaces in between.
