Landman Episode 7 introduced a potential threat to Tommy in the final episodes of the show.
At the top of his game, Tommy's line of work has earned him several enemies, and the latest episode hints that one of them is here as a potential threat to him and his family.
Episode 7 final moments show a man watching him at Ainsley's patch party. While the man is unrecognizable in the darkness, he is related to the Cartel, who is after Tommy since the explosion in Episode 1.
While they tried to get the Landman, they were stopped by the other roughnecks who had Tommy's back. But it looks like the Cartel is now after Tommy's family, to get to him.
More on Tommy's potential threat in Landman in our story.

Why was The Cartel watching Tommy in Landman Episode 7?
Landman Episode 7 saw Tommy assuming his fatherly duties as he went to the patch party to get his daughter Angela. However, when he reaches there, he sees her love interest Ryder practically on her, and he gives him a fair beating and a warning.
The episode ends with somebody watching Tommy with night vision binoculars, and it seems like danger. It is none other than the Cartel who are keeping tabs on Tommy after the events of Episode 1.
After the explosion in Episode 1, the Cartel was on Tommy and MTex's back, looking for retribution or repayment of any kind for all the cartel's cocaine that burned up because of that explosion on the MTex's land.
While they also tried to threaten Tommy at the oil rig violently, they were stopped by Boss' roughnecks. The Cartel realized that getting Tommy at the oil rig and at his work was next to impossible, as the roughnecks would not allow them anywhere near him.
It seems like they have finally found a way out by attacking Tommy in his personal space, which is why they were shown at Ainsley's patch party.
Is the Cartel after Tommy's family? What will be Tommy's next action in Landman?
Another interesting thing that should be noted is that nowhere in the episode do we see the cartel member actually following Tommy to Ainsley's patch party. We see the man already seated when Tommy arrives, which hints that he was actually looking at Tommy's daughter.
This might hint that the Cartel will go after Tommy's family, ie, his wife Angela and daughter Ainsley, in Landman's upcoming episodes.
Since the Cartel knows that Tommy is well protected at his work, his family might be the next target for them, and they might take them hostage, or worse, kill them, to get back at Tommy and have their retribution with the oil company.
The Cartel wants to eliminate Tommy because he is their biggest threat, who would never give them access to their land, which is currently under MTex's control.
If this theory turns out to be true and the Cartel is, in fact, after Tommy's family, there is no doubt that he will surely give in when his family's life is on the line. Having gotten a second chance with Angela, he would do anything to ensure their safety, even if it meant going against Monty.
