'Landman' Fans May Have Spotted a Big Spoiler in the Latest Episode's Trailer

Since its debut, Landman has never held back on delivering intense dramabut the newest sneak peek for episode 4, "Dancing Rainbows," may have revealed more than intended. In just thirty seconds, the trailer flashes an M-Tex truck crash, lawyer Rebecca (Kayla Wallace) on a seemingly chaotic overnight trip, and Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) bidding farewell to his mother at a deeply emotional funeral.

Fans have zeroed in on a particular moment during the church scene. Near the casket, Tommy stands with his ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter), while Cooper (Jacob Lofland) lingers just behind them. Moments later, Ariana (Paulina Chvez) appears walking down the aisle, taking a seat seemingly in the same row as Cooper. This is noteworthy for anyone following the ups and downs of their relationship.

Earlier in the season, Ariana ended things with Cooper, unable to cope with the dangers of his high-risk oil ventures after previous losses. The official episode synopsis also hints at a catastrophic accident and a "day of reckoning" for Tommy and Cooper, suggesting that the Norris family may be drawn even closer together.

The question now is why Ariana would attend a family funeral several hours from home if she and Cooper remain estranged. Typically, people do not make such trips for acquaintances, particularly when old conflicts linger. Her presence suggests the possibility that she and Cooper may have reconciled or at least reached a tentative understanding.

However, with Taylor Sheridan at the helm, trailers are known for misdirection. The true state of Cooper and Ariana's relationship will only be revealed when Episode 4 premieres on Paramount+. For now, it appears Landman may have slipped a major reunion into a fleeting frame.

Catch the episode on Sunday to see how the story unfolds.
