If Landman Season 2 Episode 6 planted seeds of doubt, Episode 7 looks ready to harvest chaos, with trust eroding, relationships deepening, and Dan tightening his grip on M-Tex, the upcoming episode feels like the calm moment right before the ground starts shaking. Nothing has exploded yet, but everything is dangerously close.
Based on where we left off, Episode 7 is shaping up to be a pressure cooker where personal loyalties clash head-on with professional survival.
Fix the Company or Save His Family
Tommy has never been a man who hesitates when work calls. But Episode 6 cracked something open in him, and Episode 7 may force him to choose a direction, possibly for the rest of his life.
Thomas’ words about memory-making weren’t just fatherly advice; they were a warning. Episode 7 could show Tommy actively trying to rebalance his life, maybe by stepping back from day-to-day operations or by pushing Cooper into a more prominent role. But stepping away doesn’t mean the trouble disappears. In fact, it might make things worse.
Dan has already sensed weakness not in M-Tex, but in the trust between Tommy and Cami. Episode 7 could see Dan exploiting that gap more aggressively, perhaps planting ideas in Cami’s head about restructuring leadership or sidelining Tommy “for the good of the company.” If that happens, Tommy won’t just be fighting for control; he’ll be fighting for relevance.
That’s dangerous territory for a man who built his entire identity on being indispensable.
Cami’s Gamble Begins to Show Cracks
Cami believes she made a smart move by aligning with Dan. Episode 7 may be where that confidence starts to wobble.
With contracts being reviewed and drilling timelines tightening, Dan’s “help” might begin to feel less like support and more like control. Expect subtle power plays; missed calls, selective transparency, or decisions made without Cami fully in the loop. Dan doesn’t need to be openly villainous yet; his strength lies in manipulation disguised as partnership.
If Episode 7 leans into this, Cami may find herself defending decisions she didn’t fully make, while Tommy watches helplessly from the sidelines. That dynamic alone could permanently fracture their working relationship.
Rebecca and Newsom - Chemistry vs Competence
Rebecca’s choice to put Newsom in charge of the offshore drilling operation is one of the biggest wild cards heading into Episode 7.
The preview-worthy tension here isn’t just whether the drilling will succeed; it’s whether Rebecca can separate personal attraction from professional judgment. Episode 7 may place her in situations where Newsom’s confidence borders on arrogance, raising the question: Is he truly prepared, or has Rebecca backed the wrong man at the worst possible time?
We might see early warning signs: minor technical delays, disagreements with crew members, or regulatory complications that hint at larger problems ahead. If Rebecca ignores these red flags, Episode 7 could mark the beginning of a downfall that doesn’t fully hit until later episodes.
If things go south, Dan will absolutely be watching.
Happiness With a Shadow Over It
On the emotional front, Cooper and Ariana seem to be standing on solid ground, but Landman rarely allows happiness to exist without consequence.
Episode 7 could explore Cooper taking on greater responsibility, both at work and at home. With marriage now firmly on the table, Cooper may start feeling the weight of providing, not just emotionally, but financially and professionally. That pressure could push him to take risks or make promises he isn’t fully ready to keep.
There’s also Miguel. As Cooper grows closer to Ariana, Episode 7 might test his readiness to step into a parental role. It won’t be dramatic or explosive, but quiet moments of hesitation can be just as revealing.
Given the show’s history, the more stable this relationship appears, the more viewers will brace for impact.
Angela Remains the Wild Card
Angela rarely drives plot in obvious ways, but she has a habit of saying the exact thing others are afraid to voice.
Episode 7 may use Angela as the emotional truth-teller, calling out Tommy for being torn between loyalty and fear. She might push him harder than Thomas did, not with wisdom but with brutal honesty, and if Angela senses Dan’s influence, she won’t tread carefully; she’ll go straight for the jugular.
There’s also the symbolic weight of her giving up her ring. Episode 7 could subtly explore what that means for her marriage, especially if Tommy continues to prioritise saving M-Tex over rebuilding their life together.
The Beginning of a Slow Burn Crisis
Episode 7 doesn’t feel like the episode where everything collapses, but it does feel like the one where lines are drawn.
Expect - Deals that look clean on paper but feel wrong in practice, conversations that seem harmless but carry long-term consequences, characters making choices they can’t easily undo.
The offshore rig, Dan’s investment, and Tommy’s uncertain future are all converging. Episode 7 will likely tighten those threads, setting up a mid-season arc driven not by explosions or accidents, but by ego, fear, and ambition.
Final Thoughts
Landman Season 2 Episode 7 is poised to be a slow-burn episode loaded with subtext. It’s about who sees the trap forming and who walks into it anyway. As alliances shift and trust thins, the question isn’t whether things will go wrong.
It’s who will be standing when they do!
