Nope, you're right. This episode was a lot more about structure and connecting the parallel lines between characters and moments earlier in this season and in seasons past.

Something about Wynn Duffy makes me think he was created in a Rankin/Bass workshop. He looks like the lovechild of Mr. Heat Miser and Jack Frost.

No way — Art stays Art. Batman answers to Art, and Art offers folksy ruminations and withering sarcasm. And bourbon.

Looks like a kid playing a gangster in a school play.

Tim could have told him that.

Someone did get shot in the leg.

Natalie Zea's my favorite thing about The Following, because her face is a consistent reminder the best thing on television still exists.

Johnno has me baffled at the moment. Was it his brothers who rapped Robin? Was he forced to watch? Was he forced to participate? If so, did he impregnate Robin? If he was also involved with Tui, then he's impregnated two underage girls. Or did something else happen to Johnno that night? If it wasn't his brothers, did…

@fatandsloppy Dead eyes, full bellies, can't lose

Moss shouted her Kiwi accent down to empty when she was yelling "Do you remember me now, asshole?"

Good questions — made me go back and look.

Having Sammy's men taking out Nicky was to Raylan what giving real venomous snakes to Billy was to Boyd. Each were a kind of "hands free" way of taking care of a problem. There's a narrative symmetry I think they were going for.

Huh. You're right.

That's an awesome call, bringing back prison Dickie and Dewey to parallel prison Ava. And Johnny has to play some role in all this, considering he's yet another Crowder with a thing for Ava.

There's a lot of talk about the shallowness of this season's Big Bad, but I wonder if we're looking at it wrong. All season we're regularly reminded just how marginal a character Raylan actually is.

What @UnpossibleManeuver said; they show Raylan's gravestone I think in season 1, when he's back there dealing with Arlo and Helen. They show it when their showing Frances' grave.

But the law always catches up with the elves.

Goggins as Rosencrantz and Olyphant as Guildenstern. Or is that Olyphant as Rosencrantz and Goggins as Guildenstern. Or is that Rosencrantz as Guildenstern and Goggins as Olyphant. Whatever, it's a brilliant idea.

I'm enjoying your persistence.

To be fair, Justified — especially these last three episodes — make most other dramas look embarrassing. It's ruining me for other shows.
