Can Rebecca’s New Fling Go the Distance? Landman Season 2 Star Weighs In

Rebecca just had the kind of week where your carefully curated life gets tossed in a blender. Kayla Wallace is talking about it, and yes, she knows exactly how messy Rebecca’s latest 'what even happened last night?' detour with Charlie really is.

So what actually went down in Season 2, Episode 4?

• Rebecca admits she’s afraid of flying, then hits turbulence on a private jet.
• Charlie (Guy Burnet) pours drinks to take the edge off, and suddenly that rough landing becomes... weirdly fun.
• Cut to: Rebecca wakes up in Charlie’s bed. Not her plan. Very not her vibe. But she’s also a little fascinated by his world.
• She storms out: hair a mess, last night’s makeup still on, racing straight to work. So much for the unflappable version of Rebecca.

Kayla Wallace on Rebecca losing her grip

In a new chat with TV Insider, Wallace breaks down why the whole thing rattles Rebecca so hard. She’s the person who knows where every piece goes. This time, the pieces are everywhere.

"She’s a person who likes to be in control of everything, and then she loses control and ends up in this strange man’s bed — not a situation that she feels her best."

Wallace says the panic isn’t just about the plane or the hangover; it’s waking up in an unknown place after letting her guard down. That’s why the episode deliberately strips Rebecca of her usual polish — she’s scrambling, and we’re meant to see it.

The 'wait, who is this guy?' moment

Rebecca doesn’t immediately swoon for Charlie. She’s actively suspicious, because chaos is not her brand. But curiosity sneaks in when she clocks the little details — like his bathroom setup, which looks nothing like the Softsoap routine she sticks to back home in Texas. It’s not love at first sight; it’s more: who is this man and why does his shampoo smell like a Milan boutique?

Behind the scenes: turbulence you can feel

Wallace had a blast playing the vulnerability and the gallows humor baked into the sequence. Production built a full private-jet interior on set and literally shook it to sell the turbulence — she compares it to riding a roller coaster. She also notes the episode let her pivot from nerves to comedic relief, which she welcomed. And for the record: no body double for those morning-after beats; she says the crew was 'really wonderful and protective.'

Are Rebecca and Charlie built to last?

Wallace doesn’t call the shot either way, but she’s clear about why Rebecca pumps the brakes: control is everything to her, and Charlie represents the exact opposite — unpredictability. That said, curiosity is a powerful thing. We’ll see if it outweighs the caution.

And beyond this season...

The show is officially coming back for a third season, so regardless of where this fling goes, Rebecca’s story isn’t wrapping up anytime soon.
