‘Sheriff Country’: Matt Lauria Dives Into Mickey & Boone’s Relationship After Season 1 Finale

After putting himself out there just a couple episodes ago, is Boone (Matt Lauria) going to move on from Mickey (Morena Baccarin) after the Sheriff Country finale? Well, given the events of the episode, there’s a lot for those two to unpack going forward. TV Insider spoke with Lauria about that and more. Warning: Spoilers for the Sheriff CountrySeason 1 finale ahead!

After Mickey realizes that her love interest, Alec (Wes Chatham), isn’t what he appears — the DEA agent is dirty and working for Miranda (Kelli O’Hara) — she keeps it to herself, going so far as to shoot down every lead that Boone brings up that goes against what Alec suggests. When Boone suggests that Alec is dirty, however, Mickey reads him in. Together, they work with Alec’s boss, the DEA’s Eva Santos (Rachel Ticotin), to get a confession and bring him in, but that goes sideways. Alec is killed, but not before he shoots Boone, who’s distracted checking on Mickey after thinking the danger is over.
