THIS WEEK ON Justified: Watching the Detectives
This week of Justified starts moments after last week’s episode. Sammy gets a call that is presumably faked to tip off the feds that Raylan may be dirty. We then go to what would be a forced shot of Raylan sitting in a bar listening to music, however it is interleaved with Quarles and Duffy disposing of Gary. Goddamn I love the editing of this show. Quarles shoots and kills Gary and leaves him on the front doorstep of Winona’s house. Looks like tomorrow might not be Raylan’s best day ever.

THIS WEEK ON Justified: The Man Behind the Curtain
Arlo is going batshit insane. At least I think that’s the clinical term. In case you’re wondering where his crazy behavior is coming from, rewatch the first episode. Helen makes mention to how Arlo is sick and bi-polar. Well, with Helen no longer around to ensure he takes his meds, Arlo is just going to get crazier and crazier.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: When the Guns Come Out
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Two hookers try to get oxy from a crooked doctor. The doctor only wants to part with a little, so the hookers try to use his “little part” to get a bigger share. Then, out of the blue Tanner pops in a kills all but one of the hookers. I know, the joke starts out strong but falls apart during the punch line. However, this shit is Justified, where we can always go for quality stories.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: Thick as Mud
Justified kicks off this week with Limehouse coming back from his deal with Dickie. Turns out, Limehouse isn’t as honest as we though he was. He’s hiding a large amount of money from Dickie and tried to sneak one by him. From what I gather about this scene, it looks like there might be issues in Limehouse’s crew. It will be interesting to see how he deals with it.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: The Devil You Know
We rejoin Justified with Devil and a man named Tanner having a conversation about a meeting. Quickly its revealed that Quarles is the man Devil is here to meet. Quarles is working his way through the local thugs, so it was only a matter of time he got to Devil. Quarles offers Devil a fast track to the big time.
I’ll give Quarles his due. The man can talk. He sells Devil on the concept of killing Boyd faster than you can blink. Fathers in the greater Lexington area, watch your daughters, Quarles is in town and he’s about to charm the panties off them.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: Harlan Roulette
We start this episode with Raylan going to … wait … Where’s Raylan? Oh well, he’ll show up. I guess we’ll pass the time with Ava introducing Limehouse to Boyd. Obviously these two characters are going to be interacting for the foreseeable future. The problem for Boyd is he’s relatively weak. What makes it worse for him is Limehouse knows it. Boyd tries to come to Limehouse as an equal, proposing they split Mag’s money, and fails. Perhaps he’ll have better luck next time, as of now, he needs to restructure his crew.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: Cut Ties
We rejoin Raylan as he wakes up from a slumber that I can only assume encompasses dreams of fighting giants and satisfying women by the dozen.
When last we left Boyd he was cooling in stir. As he walks over to Dickey, Boyd is told he has a visitor. As the spot light is put on him, Boyd pockets the shiv and leaves the lunchroom. Its seems Raylan saw through Boyd’s plan to get locked up to extract revenge on Dickey. I know I’ve said it before but the reason I love the conflict between these two characters is that they will forever be polite to each other right up until someone is punched or shot. Then, after the heat of battle, the will go right back to niceties. I’m not sure if it’s a product of the region they were raised or if its because they grew up together, or both, but for me its one of the main reasons I like the show.
