Don't forget the discussion of how one "can't go wrong with taupe" when repainting a murder room.

I've read that Duffy will get some backstory in episode 10…Mary Steenburgen is going to guest star as a mysterious woman from Duffy's past.

I'm much more interested in a Raylan-Wendy pairing. There's a lot more tension there.

I'd go a step further and make it a continuance. Art retires, Raylan transfers or moves on, and Rachel becomes Chief Deputy and must balance her job against rekindling things with estranged husband Joe. Tim struggles with his alcoholism/PTSD and is more or less the Raylan to Rachel's Art.

He was Raylan's ultimate antagonist, even more so than Boyd. Without Arlo, Raylan's been a lot flatter and pretty uninteresting at times, especially in these last few episodes. He buried a lot of his demons with Arlo. That anger that we always saw seething beneath his surface in seasons 1-4 is all but gone, replaced…

I was thinking she was going to tell him she was pregnant. She did turn down an offer of wine.

All this table-setting has got to go somewhere soon. But there's something missing…I just don't know what.

I'm really unimpressed with Ava's storyline.Not as strong an episode at this point in the season as I'd hoped, although judging from next week's preview things are about to start colliding. But this episode suffered from a major lack of Tim, Rachel, Art, and Wynn Duffy for sure.

Wynn Duffy is a survivor. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he survives the entire run of the show, because it's just what he does. If the world ended, there would be three species: cockroaches, Keith Richards, and Wynn Duffy.

Who are they? I'd like to guess, but I'm too tired to Google it and find out.

It's like they're trying to make him less likable, although he's a lot of fun to watch when he's an asshole.

Don't forget Robin Weigert. Maybe they could bring her in as Raylan's attorney if he gets investigated.

Yeah I always hated seeing Art and Raylan on opposite sides. It's bewildering to me that no one's questioned Barkley's disappearance. I mean, Nicky blew his brains all over Wynn Duffy's RV.

"What are you gonna pay me with, the land? Come on, Emmett! WHAT AM I??? A FARMER???"

I'd vote for them. Obviously all they do is WYNN WYNN WYNN NO MATTER WHAT WHAT MONEY ON THEIR MIND THEY CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH

Very true. Art was always willing to bend a little in the past, but there was a sort of finality to this exchange. There's no telling. I'm gonna go ahead and call it that Art sets the investigation rolling next episode. Just to make a prediction.

More Tim! More Tim! Nelson's shining moment was being the Raylan decoy in 411. He doesn't hold a candle to Gutterson.

Raylan's always been confrontational with Art, so honestly this fits the pattern to me. I think Raylan may be feeling guilty for putting Art in such a compromising position…this is his way of either getting himself out of Art's crosshairs (for the shit detail and the inevitable investigation) and to another office, or…

I miss the Wynn Duffy of seasons 1-3, when he had normal eyebrows, a mustache and epic ghetto rage.

Wynn Duffy for President!
