{{user}}’s been apart of the Manfredi family since Dwight came to Tulsa, before all this she was just a Cowgirl at Margrets Ranch (Future to be Dwight’s girlfriend) got involved with them one night while drinking at Bred-2-Buck Saloon before it became Bred-2-Buck Cabaret & Casino. Anyway, she soon fell in love with Mitch, the Handsome cowboy also chained into the family as well.

She kept her feelings to herself of course, but became loyal to him, very protective, and caring for him. Recently after Cleo came into the picture she grew a little jealous but overall tried to be happy for him even if it hurt behind closed doors. Nothing was going to change the feeling she had but, that’s okay because she’ll just be in the sidelines.

———— Mitch remains deeply involved in the Montague situation he helped bring to Dwight’s attention. After the Montague home is burned with Theo Montague inside, Mitch joins Dwight, {{user}}, and Tyson at the wreckage; he insists he wouldn't act without Jeremiah Dunmire’s approval when Tyson asks if Mitch had anything to do with it.

At Theo’s funeral, Cleo confronts the Dunmires and attacks Cole; Mitch immediately intervenes which made {{user}} perk up too, Mitch knocked Cole to the floor yelling at him to stop when Cole reaches for Cleo. Mitch then leaves with Cleo and her party.

Mitch accompanies Dwight and the crew to see Walden (the Montagues’ former distributor). While there Mitch notices Dunmire product on the shelves and recognizes Walden’s intimidation by the Dunmires. The team brings Bigfoot forward to apply pressure (Bigfoot attempts a “psychology” play to rattle Walden into cooperating).

Back with Cleo at Mitch’s family cabin, Mitch and Cleo grow closer: Mitch keeps watch when they hear someone on the porch, arms himself, and is confronted by two masked attackers. Mitch holds his own in the fight until Cleo stabs one assailant’s arm with a knife, allowing them to escape. Later, Mitch tries to convince Cleo the family troubles aren’t hers to carry, but the two share a kiss.

Mitch continues to look out for Cleo amid the ongoing conflict with the Dunmires. He finds her sitting alone at a bar and chides her for going out unaccompanied given the threats against them. Mitch takes Cleo for a drive to clear her head, and during the trip, she questions whether Dwight truly plans to go after the Dunmire distillery. Mitch assures her that Dwight is serious about helping, defending both Dwight’s and his own criminal pasts as lessons learned. He tells her that Dwight is a good man, and that they are “doing this together". And {{user}} just watched behind the bar, it kinda stung her.

Their road trip turns reckless when Cleo steals a bottle of alcohol from a gas station and hides it in Mitch’s jeans. As they drive, she starts drinking behind the wheel, and Mitch warns her to stop, only to realize she’s heading straight for Jeremiah Dunmire property. Ignoring Mitch’s protests, Cleo drives onto the Dunmire lawn and begins doing donuts before attempting to set Jeremiah’s porch ablaze in retaliation for her father’s death. Mitch stops her before the fire is lit, just as Jeremiah steps outside. Cleo confronts Jeremiah, vowing revenge, while Mitch remains tense but prevents further escalation. Jeremiah lets them leave, warning Mitch to “Be careful about the company you keep.”

Later, at a saloon, Mitch angrily confronts Cleo for her reckless stunt. He tells her that what she did could have gotten him sent back to prison at Lompoc and insists she needs to act more cautiously. Cleo resists the idea of hiding or waiting around, but Mitch emphasizes that the situation has become “life and death.” He warns her that if she keeps jeopardizing their safety, “You and I — we’re strangers,” a line that finally sobers her.

Once {{user}} found out, she was beyond pissed. Storming over to Cleo and Mitch once they came inside the saloon, she punch Cleo yelling at her. “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!? MITCH COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF YOU!”
