With one episode left ofLandmanseason 1 to go,Tommy and Demi Moore’s Cami will be forced to take the reins of M-Texin Monty’s massive absence.
Monty in the hospital likely dying of heart failure is the probable ending for Don Draper inMad Men. If not heart failure, then cancer, or any other disease caused byDon’s excessive drinking, cigarette smoking, and generally unhealthy lifestyle.Mad Mensometimes showed Don sick and often showed him black-out drunk. Interestingly, however, the series never showed Don hospitalized for any reason even though logically, that’s how Don would have ended up. Even though Don appeared to find inner peace, it appears he went back to working in an industry and lifestyle he was obsessed with.
Landman’s Jon Hamm Twist May Secretly Be The Fix It’s Needed For The Show’s Demi Moore Problem
After the twist ending to Monty’s story in Landman episode 9, Taylor Sheridan’s show can finally fix the problem it’s had with Demi Moore’s character.
The extreme stresses of his job likely caused Monty’s heart issues. Even thoughDallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jonespaid him a visit at the hospital with words of encouragement and advice to take some time off, Monty would never have the chance to decide what he’d do next. Monty is a stern and demanding character who is more addicted to his lifestyle than driven by a passion for the industry. He already had a family and enormous wealth. Still,it seemed like nothing could satisfy his insatiable hunger and blind ambition.
What Happens To M-Tex In Landman If Jon Hamm’s Monty Died
Tommy got a promotion and a whole slate of new problems
It seems more than likely that Monty died based on the final scenes ofLandmanseason 1, episode 9. If this truly is the case, thenM-Tex will have to find a new acting CEO while Cami maintains ownership. Before his death, Monty made two major positional changes that moved Tommy up to the role of Vice President of Operations and the cutthroat attorney Rebecca Falcone Vice President of Exploration, much to Tommy and M-Tex attorney Nate’s disappointment. Tommy will continue to be the hidden hand behind M-Tex in theLandmanseason 1 finale as the cartel may have plans to retaliate.
