Landman Season 2 Episode 4 hit screens on December 7, 2025. Titled "Dancing Rainbows," the episode ran for 63 minutes and focused on Dorothy's funeral. Tommy shared stories he'd kept buried for years. At 14, he found his mother passed out in the bathtub. He also lost a baby sister to SIDS. That tragedy pushed his mother toward drugs and alcohol. T.L. gave a speech about seeing teenage Dorothy dance through rainbow patterns made by sprinklers on the lawn. He said demons move faster than rainbows, and hers caught up.
Cooper and Ariana got back together during the trip to the funeral. Cami decided to work with Gallino without asking Tommy first.
The music choices throughout the episode mattered just as much as the dialogue. Andrew Lockington wrote score pieces that played during quiet family scenes. Country songs filled the gaps between big moments, creating space for viewers to process what they were watching.
How the music shaped the episode's emotional core
Landman Season 2 Episode 4 didn't feature songs blasting constantly like earlier episodes did. The funeral needed a softer touch. Lockington's instrumental work handled most of the heavy lifting during sad scenes. Songs showed up when characters traveled or during lighter moments. This kept things from feeling too dark for an entire hour. The balance worked well for this particular story.

Classic rock meets country in the opening moments
Georgia Satellites kicked things off with a 1986 hit. That's not typical for this show. Most episodes lean hard into Texas country and Red Dirt music. The rock song's lyrics about keeping boundaries got ironic fast. What came after wasn't playful at all. Music supervisor Andrea von Foerster picked something that stood out on purpose. It provided the audience with one last upbeat moment before everything became serious.
Charley Crockett returns for another pivotal moment
Crockett showed up twice in Landman Season 2 Episode 4, for a total of this season. His first appearance was in the premiere. His old-school country style fits when Tommy's dealing with rough situations. "Hard Luck and Circumstances" played while the family drove to Canadian, Texas. Even the song title matched what was happening. Crockett's voice sounds tired in a good way. That works for a character like Tommy, who has been through a lot.
Andrew Lockington's score dominated the funeral scenes
Four different instrumental pieces played throughout Landman Season 2 Episode 4. "Not The Last One" backed T.L.'s speech at the service. "Ghosts" came on in a parking lot after they ate. The title fit since the whole episode dealt with painful memories. "I'll Never Quit You" played when Tommy told Ainsley about his baby sister. You can find these tracks on Lockington's official album from UMG Nashville. Season 2 uses his work more than Season 1 did.
Familiar voices close out Landman Season 2 Episode 4
Whiskey Myers came back with "Time Bomb" during a plane scene. They also performed songs for Season 1. Their sound aligns with what the show aims for. The Red Clay Strays wrapped things up with "Wasting Time" on the radio. That's their second time appearing this season. A DJ character even talked about the band on air, as it added a fun touch.
