What A Tangled Web

Back from the break, Boyd diffidently wonders if Raylan might have been to see Cairn recently and Raylan spits that Cairn's an asshole. They compare notes on what Cairn told them and find them very similar, but Boyd remarks that while he's not super-shocked Cairn might betray Raylan, being who he is, he's surprised Cairn did the same to him. After snarking on Boyd for that idea, Raylan notes that Arlo took the fall for Boyd, yet Boyd is out trying to screw up his deal and Boyd's defense that he's just trying to make a living is rather disappointing; you'd think he'd at least come up with a witty metaphor to mitigate his greed. Raylan wonders if he's not just a Dixie Mafia puppet, but while Boyd is not unoffended by the suggestion, he does point out that they've got more pressing concerns...

...while down the mountain, Colton arrives on the scene. Tim has his gun ready, but when Colton steps out of his car, Tim compliments his boots and asks where he served. Colton grins at the potential for camaraderie...

...while back in the cell, two people who like each other rather less are trying to work together, as Raylan calls to their captors that he has a photograph that might fix the situation and that makes me hope that Tim's speculation about Raylan doing exotic dancing might actually have been the case. One of the chromosomally-challenged captors tells him he has to wait for "Cope," but Raylan continues that the picture is of his mother with one of the hill people, a "Cousin Mary." The name seems to register with the idiots, but they still are unmoved and when Raylan keeps talking, they fire a shot through the door, open it, and then drag Boyd out by the leg as he shouts that he doesn't much like Raylan's plan. Heh. Raylan starts to work his hands free as the two morons stare beating on Boyd, but the less challenged one gets cocky in taking a big swing at Boyd with the butt of his rifle, and Boyd takes advantage of the opening by kicking his legs out from under him and getting him in a headlock from behind as the dumber of the two captors (whose physique makes me think Bob might not have been wrong about his diet) yells bloody murder. Raylan gets his hands free, extricates himself from the box and disarms the moron, but just then, three men who seem to mean a lot more business, the leader of whom is the aforementioned Cope, enter and train their weapons on our boys. Raylan and Boyd try to explain that they're looking for Thompson, but Cope says that's not what Cairn told him when he called. After a bit more talk, Cope has Daniel the dumber moron cover his ears and sing some hymn, whereupon Cope tells our boys that a rock fell on Daniel when he was a kid, and although he still loves him, he'd never give him a working weapon. Since Raylan is holding Daniel's gun, this is not great news for him or Boyd and the latter collapses in frustration. You have to concede the day has kind of gone south for him.
