Sheriff Country Season 2 Episode 6 revealed that Hank's uncle, Roberto Iglesias, was in town to say goodbye to Paula Ruskin, his old flame, who was on her deathbed. Paula was married when she first met Roberto and her husband forced her to break ties with him. She had two kids, Drew and Meg, who were staying with her at the hospital.

Hank's uncle's visit turned into a problem when a gunman interrupted an illegal poker game run by Roberto. While Roberto and his men gained the upper hand over the unidentified gunmen, he returned to finish the job and took another shot at Roberto while he was out eating with Hank. Since the situation escalated, Hank was forced to look into the case for his uncle's safety.

While Mickey was not accustomed to her new partner, she was trying to work the case with Hank. Things took a turn when Mickey confronted Hank with an unfair comparison to Boone, when he was already struggling to keep his personal life out of the case. Left with no choice, Mickey and Hank teamed up to find who was after Roberto's life in Sheriff Country Season 2 Episode 6.

Narrowing down the list of suspects proved difficult for Hank in Sheriff Country Season 2 Episode 6. Roberto had a bad reputation in Edgewater. He not only ran an illegal poker game but also cheated at games, had hurt many people and had even pulled out of a restaurant deal at the last minute, after his business partner had invested his life savings into it. Hank struggled to wrap his head around the accusations because Roberto took him and his brother in when they had nowhere to go.

After gathering enough information, Mickey and Hank finally arrested Roberto's former business partner, but the threat to Roberto's life was far from over. Hank knew Roberto was allergic to meat and even carried an EpiPen in case he reached out for a piece of bacon. Things took a turn in Sheriff Country Season 2 Episode 6 when Roberto had a severe allergic reaction, and his EpiPen was gone. Since Roberto always carried the EpiPen, Hank knew someone else was after his uncle's life.

Hank suspected Paula's children, as Roberto had spent much of his time in the hospital by Paula's side. While Meg fed Roberto banana bread laced with gelatin, Drew took his coat, which contained the EpiPen. Armed with the knowledge that Meg tucks her hair behind her ear when she lies, Hank and Mickey arrived at the hospital and got Meg to flip on her brother.

Drew was after Roberto's life in Sheriff Country Season 2 Episode 6 because his mother left her old flame a very expensive painting in her will. The painting would go to Drew if Roberto died, which gave him enough motive to kill Hank's uncle. Things came to an awkward conclusion when Paula's children learned that the painting was fake, as it was just a keepsake Roberto had gifted to Paula. With the truth out in the open, Roberto said his final goodbye to Paula, as she took her final breaths on the hospital bed.

As the episode concluded, Mickey agreed that the Boone comparison was harsh. She understood Hank's position because of her own complicated history with her father.

In the final moments ofSheriff Country Season 2 Episode 6, Cassidy was happy about her budding romance with Andre when she received a box of chocolates from her abusive ex, Brock. The unwanted gift signalled Brock's release from jail and suggested that he was trying to contact Cassidy again.
