The ending of Ransom Canyon episode 10, “Maybe It’s Time Yancy Grey Dies Too,” leaves some characters with happy endings and others more clouded in mystery. Following the death of Yancy’s grandfather, Cap Fuller, at the end of episode 9, episode 10 opens with a montage of several characters in Ransom Canyon’s cast at difficult crossroads. As Ellie mourns Cap’s death and Lauren struggles to accept a life-altering injury, Yancy buries Cap on his ranch and Lucas discovers Kit signed his emancipation papers.
Quinn and Staten finally get together after she officially dumps Davis, only to have their long-overdue romance fall apart in the final moments of the Ransom Canyon season 1 finale. Lucas makes a big romantic gesture at the dance hall, winning back Lauren’s heart, while Ellie leaves Yancy hanging at the altar after a woman claiming to be Yancy’s wife shows up out of nowhere. Most shockingly of all, Sheriff Brigman is forced to place his wife, Margaret, under arrest on manslaughter charges for the death of Staten’s son, Randall Kirkland.
Margaret & Kit’s Roles In Randall’s Death Explained
Margaret Was Behind The Wheel Of The Blue Ford Truck That Night
After Kit was arrested for his involvement in Randall’s death, Sheriff Brigman had to do the unthinkable and arrest his wife, since she, not Kit, was behind the wheel of the Ford truck that caused Randall to crash. Margaret doesn’t have much of a role in the series as the alcoholic mother of Lauren. It’s revealed that she had an affair with Kit, who was with her in the truck the night that Randall died.
Kit called Reid to take the truck, have the VIN scraped off, and dump it in a nearby lake, where Lucas discovered the submerged truck while swimming with Lauren. Reid owed Kit a favor, which is how he and Nick got involved. Ultimately, Margaret was likely driving drunk and swerving, forcing Randall to crash the car that his Uncle Davis had given him.

Does Yancy Grey Actually Have A Wife?
She Could Possibly Be An Ex-Wife Or Impostor
Yancy cuts ties with Davis and decides to honor Cap by not selling his land to Austin Water & Power, which he originally agreed to do to get Davis to help get him out of prison. Cap’s death inspires Yancy to start fresh with a clean slate. He asks Ellie to marry him on a whim and she eventually agrees but leaves him hanging at the altar after a woman claiming to be his wife walks into the dance hall.
Obviously, this comes as a major surprise, since Yancy had never mentioned her before. She could be an impostor but no matter what, Yancy is going to have some explaining to do at the start of Ransom Canyon season 2.

He left the tweed bracelet Quinn had tied on his wrist at the bar when he was sitting as a sign that he didn’t want to hold Quinn back. Staten has it wrapped up in his mind that he is doing what’s best for Quinn by leaving, especially after breaking her confidence and revealing Davis’s financial debt publicly, which Quinn had asked to be kept a secret. Staten proves that Quinn was right about “only wanting his own pain” because he steps away from who seems to be the love of his life.
