Billy the Kid Season 3 Episode 6 recap: Billy survives

In the previous episode of Billy the Kid Season 3, the outlaw was fatally shot by Garrett. In Episode 6, Pete informs that Billy died and asks him to flee his ranch as his Mexican workers would kill him if they learn about him killing Billy. Garrett does that, but later it is shown that Billy was still alive but gravely injured.

Pete takes care of him, and when Garrett comes back to get proof of him killing the outlaw, Pete tells him that his men have taken his body and buried it in a secret location to honor his memories. This becomes a huge problem as, without a body, no one was ready to accept that Billy was dead as the media began to spread the news of the Outlaw's survival.

Elsewhere, Catron also refuses to give $50,000 to Garrett without proof and demeans him. All of Garrett's plans to find the truth fail, as even when he brings the Mexicans in for questioning, they do not tell him anything related to Billy.
