Oh, look who it is -- Roz, the girl who was so free with her late bloomers in the season premiere. She's sitting in Constable Bob's car and when Raylan arrives on the scene, Bob tells him that she tried to run, but she didn't get far with the boot on her foot. Raylan: "Well, lucky you stabbed her last time, then. Thinking ahead." Hee. Bob then drops his voice to tell Raylan that when he caught Roz, she offered to give him a blowjob and Raylan smiles and turns away, only to swivel back and ask if he took her up on it. Bob's aghast, probably not least because of the hardware in her mouth and then Raylan greets Roz and asks how the foot is. Unamused, she tells him it hurts and adds that she just got her braces tightened and so her teeth hurt, too. Raylan: "Well, neither one of us is gonna ask you to use it much." Saving me the trouble and grossing Bob out for good measure? Love you, Raylan -- I don't care what Winona says. He asks Roz who told her where to find the bag and when she unconvincingly says it was Arlo, he counters that she doesn't know him nor the other way around. Roz tries to tell them if she reveals who it was, the guy will kick her ass, but Raylan, shockingly, is unsympathetic, so she gives up the name "Josiah." Bob recognizes him as her stepfather, adding that she and her boyfriend also strip metal for him and when Raylan asks if Josiah is home there now, Roz scoffs that she'll guarantee it, which is another one of those comments that will become clear in the fullness of time. Also, when Raylan hears that Josiah's surname is "Cairn," he laughs and says he knows him. "And yeah, he might kick your ass." He tells them to stay put until he gets back and to keep their clothes on and Roz grimaces from the mouth pain, which I have to admit I didn't need to see.
Here's the presumed Cairn, sitting out in front of his house with a dog to keep him company when Raylan drives up. Cairn asks who he is and I should mention that he is most awesomely being played by Gerald McRaney, who's got credits going back to when I was a toddler, but is best known for title roles in Simon & Simon and Major Dad, and was also recurring on Deadwood (George Hearst), which makes this another reunion on more than one level. Raylan's like, oh, come on, don't you remember that scam you tried to pull after the mine explosion in '85, taking money from the widows in an ostensible effort to prove it was the mine's fault and then taking money from the mine to cover it up? I'll admit that sounds complicated enough that he probably hasn't forgotten it. Cairn pegs Raylan as Arlo's boy and Raylan's like, yeah, you already knew that and why I'm here, so how about taking your hands out of your pockets? Cairn complies, but claims not to know what Raylan's talking about, adding that he's retired because the young people drove him out. "No values no more." Heh. Raylan notes that Cairn is wearing an ankle monitor, so maybe the people that put it on him are the valueless whippersnappers to whom he was referring and Cairn tells him he can check the records -- he hasn't left his property in months. Cairn denies knowledge of the bag and the kids and whatever else, but Raylan tells him he doesn't have time for this. "How about you and me go for a drive?" You get the feeling it's not going to be as romantic as it sounds...
