Arielle Kebbel as Belle Skinner and Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin in Marshals Season 1
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Marshals Episode 3.Since Marshals began, the whole series has opened the door for Kayce Dutton to move on from his troubled and often sketchy past. With a new team by his side, Kayce has quickly fallen in with this branch of U.
S. Marshals, including newcomer Belle Skinner , who, as it turns out, isn't exactly a newcomer at all. As the latest episode further teases Belle's hidden past as a member of the Bozeman community, we can only hope that the CBS drama isn't trying to set up a slow-burn romance between her and Kayce. Contrary to fan opinion, it just wouldn't make any sense. 'Marshals' Should Not Try to Force Kayce and Belle Together — No Matter What Fans Say In"Road to Nowhere," Marshals takes an interesting turn by further elaborating on Belle's mysterious backstory as Bozeman native"Isabelle Turek." At this point, we don't know much about Belle's life before Marshals. She was never mentioned on Yellowstone, nor was her family, although Kayce admitted that he recognized her in the series premiere. This brief interaction between the two up front, coupled with their similar struggles to avoid their teammates digging too deep into their personal family histories, has led some fans to believe that Marshals is pushing the pair into an interesting predicament that could eventually turn into a romantic attachment. Despite the hopes of some, this would be a serious network television-style mistake that the show ought to avoid altogether.

Posts By Michael John Petty For one thing, after losing his wife, Monica , and trying to reinvent himself and reestablish his bond with his son, Tate , the last thing that Kayce needs to complicate things right now is a love interest. But beyond just Kayce's personal needs, it would be wrong of Marshals to ruin the best thing in Belle's life. From the get-go, the series has been clear that Belle's husband and son are a priority to her, and although the job is demanding and her work-life balance has been more difficult than anticipated, she still aims to make it work. Indeed, she has Pete"Cal" Calvin in her corner, urging her to keep making them a priority, especially since the series has hinted that he didn't with his own family. A potential romance between Kayce and Belle would not only feel a bit contrived, but it would ruin Belle's chances of avoiding the same pitfalls that Cal has already wrestled with. While Marshals hasn't yet committed to anything between them, the clear parallels between their respective troubled pasts and what that may mean as they get closer could easily open that door if the show isn't careful. It's common for those in close working relationships like these — especially when you're sharing a foxhole and trusting one another in your lives — to develop strong bonds of attachment. And with nothing holding at least one party back in this case, well, we could see something happening, turning Marshals into yet another Yellowstone-style horse opera. Evidently, some fans feel the same. But just because we don't want a romance between Kayce and Belle doesn't mean that the pair can't be close — nor does it mean that their plotlines can't overlap. Kayce and Belle Could Grow Together Throughout 'Marshals,' But Not Romantically In an interview with TV Insider, actress Arielle Kebbel offered some expert insight into the dynamic between Belle and Kayce. "Immediately there’s an unspoken understanding between the two," Kebbel notes."Both are afraid to let their guard down too much." Understanding Kayce's background as both a Navy SEAL and a Montana Livestock Commissioner, Belle wastes no time deferring to Kayce's judgment. More than that, she knows that he, too, feels the same familial pressures that she does as a Turek , as the Dutton family remains notorious around Montana. If Marshals leans into that shared backstory, the struggle of family expectations, the notoriety that comes from living in Big Sky Country your whole life, not to mention stemming from a wealthy family, then the show could have something fascinating here with these characters. More than that, understanding the pain of losing a spouse and a child , Kayce could very well step alongside Belle to help her navigate being both a U.S. Marshal and a wife and mother. Not that he has exact experience of the latter, but his perspective on the shortness of life and lost opportunities, coupled with Belle's preexisting trust in him, could fuel an interesting dynamic between them. At the very least, it would be fun to see them bond over their shared struggles with parenting while on duty. However, their friendship grows, here's hoping that Marshals is a smart enough show to avoid such a foolish romantic plotline, especially this early in the game, where it's still trying to find its clear footing.
