History Recap / WalkerTexasRangerS7E12LostBoys

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Had the police just nabbed Bobby in the first place, upon which he would just explain what really happened, Jesse wouldn't have taken the blame for the murder.

When Dallas Police detective William Sadler is killed by a gang of burglars during a sting at an electronics warehouse, the gang leader leaves the gun in the hands of one of his accomplices, namely Bobby Landrum. Bobby, as such, is forced to go on the run to his friend, Jesse's house (who happens to be nephew of Carlos), and hide the gun in his home so he doesn't get caught with it. When the gang leader demands that Jesse return his gun and stay silent about the whole thing, or else he kills his mother, it quickly goes from bad to worse when his mother and Carlos find it first, and he is forced to go on the run before he is eventually arrested. Jesse is then left with a sadistic choice upon his arrest: either confess that he killed Sadler and spend the rest of his life in juvey (along with the juveniles who took part in the failed heist) or confess that the gang leader really did commit the murder, at which point he kills his mother. Worse yet, both Jesse and his mother would be killed by the gang even after the forced confession in case Jesse ever changed his mind, unless Bobby is willing to come forward...

* HeKnowsTooMuch / LeaveNoWitnesses: Blade and his gang are not willing to take any chances after Jesse's forceful confession if he changes his story; first, they kill Jesse and then, his mother. Bobby comes forward and tells the Rangers what really happened, and this is quickly stopped.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Jesse is taken into custody, Bobby is guilt-ridden of having sold out his best friend after hiding the gun used in Sadler's murder in his dresser drawer, and afterwards, Theresa and Carlos found it, leading up to Jesse taking the rap for a crime he didn't commit. After Jesse's forceful confession at the hands of the AmoralAttorney Patterson upon seeing a photo of his mother kidnapped, Bobby finally comes forward and confesses, Jesse is released and Walker, Trivette, Ochoa and Carlos proceed to raid the arcade and arrest Blade and rescue Theresa.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We can only assume Johnny Blade is either serving life in prison or was sentenced to death for killing Sadler and kidnapping and threatening to murder Theresa, and Lawrence Patterson got disbarred following his arrest for helping Blade carry out the hits against Jesse and Theresa, not to mention the Metroplex Trial Lawyers Humanitarian of the Year Award that he was nominated for was rescinded.

-->'''Carlos:''' Hands behind your back.\\
'''Patterson:''' Do you know who you're dealing with?!\\
'''Carlos:''' Yeah. You're a bloodsucking lowlife who frames young kids for murder. ''[while cuffing Patterson, he slams his head into a cannoli on the table]'' Now, I said hands behind your back!

* YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith: Patterson, when he is being arrested for his involvement in Blade's frameup.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Johnny Blade, being that he is a gang leader, it sounds pretty [[Meaningful meaningful]]!

* EveryoneHasStandards: Bobby is forced to go on the run when Blade kills Sadler and leaves the gun used for it in his possession, then hides it at Jesse's house, where it is eventually found. Upon hearing then news that Jesse was taken to juvey for the murder along with several other members of Blade's gang who participated in the raid at the warehouse, Bobby feels guilty that he sold out his best friend and finally confesses. Needless to say, he was quite disturbed by what Blade did. At the end of the episode, both Bobby and Jesse got 300 hours of community service at the HOPE Center. Jesse is more than willing to help, never having been in trouble all his life.

* OneDialogueTwoConversations: When Carlos, Alex and Ochoa tell Walker and Trivette that Jesse confessed shortly after the two dig up Johnny Blade's information, Walker figures there had to be some explanation why he confessed, because he believes he didn't do it. It's not long before Bobby interrupts their conversation, coming forward and telling the ADA and the four officers what really happened.

* SadisticChoice: For Jesse after Bobby sells him out by hiding the gun used for Sadler's murder in his dresser drawer. When Blade orders Jesse to return his gun, he can either stay silent about the whole thing and avoid losing his mother to gang violence or he can confess at which point the gang murders her. However, Theresa and Carlos find the gun first, and the former choice escalates to confessing to a murder he didn't commit.
