...where he finds Bob's car gone, his tires flat, and Hunter, uncuffed, reclining in the back seat, legs handing out the window. Upon seeing Raylan, Hunter languidly offers, "Guess we about hashed through all the bullshit now, huh Raylan?" Good line, Hunter, but you're asking for Raylan to take a hatchet to your feet. It'd be fitting this season. Raylan tells Bob to keep an eye on Hunter as he makes a call...
...while, speaking of hashing things out, Boyd is once again going over the points of Ellen May's supposed death with Colton. Colton supplies details that he's rehearsed well enough to be convincing, but this time Boyd has the benefit of being sure Colton is lying. Boyd asks to see the gun Colton claims he used, and after Colton hands it over and Boyd puts it away in a drawer, he pulls his own weapon and intones that he prefers a nine-millimeter -- which he then hands to Colton and instructs him to demonstrate exactly where the bullet entered when he pulled the trigger. Colton can't believe he's serious, but Boyd turns away and Colton jabs the thing into the back of his neck before handing it back. Boyd, however, is not nearly done with this psychological game and asks why he didn't shoot her in the front of the head, demonstrating by putting the gun's muzzle right up against Colton's forehead. Colton says he merely didn't want to scare Ellen May, but as Johnny limps into the room, Boyd -- looking like the undead and sounding (for him) hurt and betrayed -- cocks the gun and asks why. Why is Colton lying to him? Colton, probably thinking that coming clean will result in an exploded brain, tries to keep up the act until Johnny notes that asking Teri about Ellen May was a huge mistake, whereupon Colton apologizes and pleadingly says he messed up. In reply, Boyd pulls the trigger, but the chamber proves empty. Not so empty is Boyd's disapproval, as he tells Colton he has no idea what he's done, although he might amend that opinion if he'd seen all of Colton's behavior over the past few episodes. Colton explains everything that happened from his point of view and Boyd, not really interested, lets him babble -- until he gets to the part where Shelby knew that Ellen May was alive. Recalling how Shelby plied Boyd with insinuations that Boyd had killed Ellen May, Boyd is chagrined at "my Sherriff Shelby's" behavior, so he tells Johnny to get Colton out of his sight. Colton looks desperately at Boyd's back before silently leaving...
