Summary: Harlan residents all convene at Mags’ home for a celebration. Mags and
Carol both reveal their cards over their plans for the Harlan County
land, with Boyd playing a deciding role in negotiations. Loretta learns
the truth about what happened to her father, leading to a deadly confrontation
between Raylan and Mags’ son Coover.
Mags, the very picture of maternal
love, combs Loretta’s hair in preparation
for the big party. The girl wonders
whether her father has called. Mags, of
course, killed daddy –unbeknownst to
Loretta. Feeling guilty, Mags then offers
Loretta her treasured hair clip, an heirloom.
A filthy Coover enters – and Mags
angrily shoos him out. ”I used to tell people
that I dropped him on his head as a
baby,” Mags tells Loretta. ”Truth is I got no excuse for him.” A very hurt Coover listens from the
other side of the door.
Later, the Bennett party gets underway. No one in the clan is happy to see Boyd show up with
Ava on his arm. Boyd asks for a ”word” with Mags – and tells Doyle that he’s not leaving until
he does. Soon, Givens appears with Carol. It’s shaping up to the most uncomfortable Sunday
gathering ever. Sure enough, a drunken rube named Curtis tries to hit on Carol – and then tries
to actually hit her. Carol twists the man’s arm behind his back before none other than Dickie
breaks up the fight. Carol smiles at Givens. ”What?” she playfully says. Coover, meanwhile, hides
behind a truck and takes two GIANT snorts of a crushed-up pill. A bleary-eyed Coover then slides
on a watch taken from the dead body of Loretta’s pops and heads back to the fun. This could get
ugly.
The party continues – and so does the drinking. Carol then approaches Mags, who is condescending
at best. ”I walk away from here now and there is no deal – there never will be,” an angry
Carol warns. ”Black Pike will take your mountain and blow the top off of it and you’ll get nothing.”
Mags agrees to talk – alone. Givens doesn’t like it. Carol then gives Givens a looooong kiss on the
mouth. ”For luck,” Carol says. Uh huh. Inside, Carol finds Boyd and Mags sitting across from
each other. Boyd informs Carol, his supposed boss, that he has bought a sought-after property
out from under Mags AND Carol. Outside, Dickie tries to enter the home, but Givens steps in
front of him. It’s a standoff until Dickie tries to rush past Givens, who easily pushes him to the
ground. Embarrassed and angry, Dickie limps away. One guess that it won’t be forgotten.
