In the latest episode of Landman, which aired on January 4, Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy, adopts an unconventional method to tend to his aging father, T.L., portrayed by Sam Elliott. Following an incident where T.L. found himself stuck in a pool after a fall, Tommy ventures into a strip club to seek assistance.
At Rick’s Cabaret, Tommy encounters Cheyenne, a performer played by Francesca Xuereb. He proposes an interesting arrangement to her, explaining his father’s multiple ailments and lack of mobility due to arthritis. Tommy inquires if she could assist T.L. by sharing some of her stretching techniques, given her impressive fitness routine that keeps her in the gym for three hours a day.
Cheyenne, initially puzzled by why Tommy wouldn’t hire a traditional physical therapist, ends up agreeing. Tommy reasons that T.L. is too stubborn to accept help from someone he perceives as standard. He assures Cheyenne that their arrangement would be purely professional, emphasizing “no sex” and that she wouldn’t need to dress in her performance attire.
Despite Cheyenne’s playful nature regarding her profession, she agrees to meet T.L. for an hour twice a week. The episode concludes with Cheyenne’s initial visit, which involves aquatic therapy in the pool. T.L. expresses his relief, stating, “Everything feels better,” while Cheyenne playfully affirms, “I could do this all day.”
