Walker episode 12 will be answering some of the questions regarding the central mystery of the Western crime drama. The freshman series follows the journey of Cordell Walker (Jared Padalecki), who returned home following his wife's, Emily Walker (Genevieve Padalecki), death.

Walker episode 12 is titled "A Tale of Two Families" and it's going to bring a lot of dramatic scenes for the titular character. Throughout the early run of the series, he has been trying to find ways on how to cope with what happened to the woman he loves.

After the death of his wife, he struggled to balance his personal and professional life. Everything seems hard for him, especially with what he's gone through in the past. In Walker episode 12, the story will focus on the day before Emily died and the events that followed after that.

Next week's episode is bringing some flashback stories and the title might be a reference to two different worlds the titular character is living in. There could be several revelations here, which could impact him and other characters around him.

According to the synopsis of Walker episode 12, "the show flashes back to the days right before and after Emily's death and how the entire Walker family dealt with the sudden tragic loss." There'll be emotional moments coming here since it tackles what transpired before the death of his wife.

Also, there is a familiar coming on board in the upcoming episode as Rebekah Graf is set to appear as a guest star. She will be appearing in the flashback scenes and will be playing the role of Crystal West, Clint West's (Austin Nichols) wife, and Travis' mother.

Meanwhile, this is said to be the final outing for the month of May. The show might be going on a brief hiatus before picking up the events within this episode. A lot of stories are still needed to be addressed, including whether or not the series is coming back for another installment.
