Summary: The arrival of a dangerous new player in Lexington puts Raylan on a
collision course with a sadistic Dixie Mafia hitman.
Winona drives away from town when
she is pulled over by a police car. It’s
a ”courtesy stop” as the ex-Mrs. Givens
has been called back to town by Deputy
U.S. Marshal Art Mullen. Later, she walks
purposely toward Art, who explains that
Givens has been shot but is still alive.
”He’s a lucky son of a gun,” Art says.
Winona then walks into the hospital room
to find Givens sleeping.
Three weeks later:
Givens takes target practice – and
winces not just at the pain in his side, but
also at his poor marksmanship. Later,
Givens arrives at his desk to find Boyd
Crowder waiting. Boyd explains that Ava, like Givens, is ”healing.” Givens then questions Boyd
about a flurry of activity after the death of Mags. Turns out the marijuana stash was raided
and the various storehouses were overturned – as if somebody was looking for something. Boyd,
naturally, denies all knowledge before demanding that the Deputy Marshal hand over Dickie.
Givens, naturally, refuses – sending Boyd into a fury. He punches Givens and a wrestling match
ensues. It concludes when the tussling pair burst through the glass in Art’s office. A still angry
Boyd is dragged away by other Deputy Marshals.
Later, we meet Robert Quarles, an icy man representing the criminal bosses in Detroit who
visits the real estate offices of Emmett Arnett to demand payment on a debt. Emmett agrees to
pay within 24 hours and then, after Robert exits, asks a dangerous looking hoodlum named Nix
if he wants a job. Nix agrees.
At Boyd’s house, Arlo and Devil are offering burlap sacks of marijuana for sale. Ava arrives.
”You figure Boyd’s locked up so you might as well go into business for yourself?” she asks Devil.
Devil tells her not to worry about it. He then becomes furious when the potential buyer, Randy
from Memphis, notes that the marijuana, having been bagged damp. is rotten with mold – it’s
value having plummeted from more than $100,000 to maybe $2,000-$3,000 after sitting in the
shed out back for three weeks. Oops. These boys clearly need Boyd, after all.
