Outside, things are looking grim, but Raylan's story about Mary comes out, so Cope asks him some questions to see if he can prove his claim of kinship. Unfortunately, Raylan doesn't know any of the answers, which makes me think he should have spent have an hour on ancestry.com before heading up the hill. Cope therefore decrees that he and Boyd will be dropped down a mine shaft to their death. Well, I'm sure they'll both appreciate the irony, even if they're not amused by it. As they walk, Boyd tries to babble his way out of trouble, but it's Daniel -- of all people -- who looked as thoughtful as he gets when Raylan was claiming kinship, who comes to their rescue, as he appears with Mary, who as I mentioned in the recap is played by Bonita Friedericy, General Beckman on Chuck. Daniel passed along the picture and Mary confirms that she sees Raylan's mother "Frances" in him. She decrees that they won't kill Raylan, "my cousin's boy," but Boyd is fair game; Raylan, however, appeals to Mary and says that as a marshal, he'll be compelled to report any crime that happens up there, and Mary sees the wisdom of letting them both go...
...whereupon we cut to Mary walking with Raylan and Boyd and telling them Thompson isn't there -- the part where he came to them to heal is true, but he left them one day. However, she saw him ten years ago at the Bluegrass Festival rubbing shoulders with the Mayor, the Judge Executive and all "those rich Clover Hill folks." You know, I didn't mention it at the time, but that client Ellen May shot -- the furry -- was the Judge Executive, according to Ava. I wonder if his crazy drugs came from Thompson? Either way, Mary tells Raylan that if he's looking for Thompson, he's on the wrong hill...
