There’s a dark cloud over Joe and Emma Leaphorn’s marriage in a new Collider-exclusive clip from this week’s all-newDark Winds. Last week’s shocking revelation has driven a wedge between the two, even as a new, deadly mystery stalks the US Southwest. “Tsékǫ̨’ Hasą́ní (Coal Mine Canyon),” Episode 5 ofDark Winds' Season 3, will premiere on Sunday, April 6, at 9 PM ET on AMC, and will stream the next day on AMC+.
Last week saw Emma Leaphorn (Deanna Allison) find out about the terrible choice her husband, Joe (Zahn McClarnon), madelast season; confronted with the knowledge that local businessman B.J. Vines (John Diehl) had engineered the death of their son and several other men in a mining disaster years earlier, Joe took Vines out into the desert and left him to fend for himself. He thought he’d left it behind him, but this season, Vines' skeletal corpse was discovered, and Emma quickly puts the pieces together. In this clip, she’s angry — angry that Joe did this without consulting her, and angry that he doesn’t think she understands the challenges of his job. Joe, however, doesn’t know that he would have done things any differently. She kicks him out of the house, but before he can respond, there’s a knock at the door. Who is it? You’ll have to find out on Sunday night.
