What’s Dr. Nia Bintu’s next move?
In season one, a curious Royal brings dirt from the hole to Dr. Bintu’s lab at a nearby university—but grabs his sample and leaves when he realizes she has ties to a mysterious mining company. In season two, after finding evidence she’s been poking around his pastures, he threatens her to stay away or else.
That’s what leads her to sidle up to Rhett at the local diner and ask him for his assistance. Dr. Bintu doesn’t seem like a villain, but she’s persistent in a way that suggests the people she’s working for are highly motivated, with deep pockets to help them get what they want.
