...but the law is busy at the moment examining a fighting chicken. Apparently they're visiting the dealer who presumably sold Randall his, um, clients, and he's telling them the charming details of his trade, which include outfitting the birds with small blades, and if they're going to be cutting each other up like that, it makes me wonder if it's a breach of fight etiquette for the loser to be dinner. The dealer waves one of those blades too close to Rachel and receives a rather stern rebuke; he kind of laughs that off, which will not be his first or last mistake of the scene, as after some exposition of how the dealer employs a middleman to deal with the customers for everyone's protection, he waves a blade in Rachel's vicinity again, and she responds by pulling out a telescopic nightstick and whacking it out of his hand. Heh. Raylan then calls Rachel over, and as they walk, he tells her that Lindsey called, and he used reverse lookup to find the location of the number. Rachel asks what she said...
...and then we cut to the convenience store, wherein the clerk is looking like he's not going to be at his photographic best for a good long while. He says that if he didn't know better, he'd think Lindsey set him up to take a beating, and Raylan offers, "I know what you mean." Heh. The clerk does tell Raylan, though, that Lindsey said she wanted to shoot pictures of horses at a nearby farm...
...and then we cut to Ellen May, who sounds vaguely like a farm animal herself as she wonders what she's supposed to do in Alabama. Yes, I'm sure it's culturally bereft compared to Harlan, hon. I mean, honestly, what do you do here? Given my attitude, it probably won't surprise you if I beg you to forgive me glossing over this scene; the point is, despite Ellen May's whining about Harlan being her home and whatever, Ava practically embroiders "Alabama Or Bust" onto Ellen May's shirt before handing her an envelope with a thousand dollars in cash and telling her to make something of herself. She rises and tells Ellen May that Colton will give her a ride to the bus station as soon as she's got her things together, and gets out of there before Ellen May can process everything that's happened. I don't blame you for doing so, Ava, but there probably was no need to rush on that front.
