Back in Harlan, Johnny finally returns to the Apple Dumpling Gang's HQ. Boyd demands to know where Johnny was, but Johnny shrugs him off asking what the heck happened to snake face. The snake-bitten guy is on the mend, but the doctor would still like to take him to the hospital. He can't believe that the poison hasn't killed him yet! That makes Boyd's face go blank in a way that only Walter Goggins' face can. You know that Boyd has realized something big.
In the hotel, Eve is pulled out of the closet and is about to be punished for her bit of clever thinking. The kidnapper knows that she played him, sending Barnes to the gym when she knew Thompson wasn't there. The guy throws her on the bed, ties her up with zip ties, straddles her and pulls out a knife scary enough to make her talk. Just as things look especially dire, Raylan and Tim and a whole squad of marshals' service operatives bust up the party. After the bad guy is carted away and Eve gets some much-needed medical attention, Art comes to talk to her. Hopefully he tucked his marshal stiffy away, because Eve has probably been traumatized enough. Art tells her that the bad guy was a "Detroit hard case" named Mason Goins who worked for a man named Theo. Eve admits that the name rings a bell, but she's not very forthcoming and even gives Raylan -- her conquering hero -- a bit of sass when he points out that she ran out the bathroom window. So Art lays it out: She's going home and if she is helping them, she'll be well protected. If she's not cooperating with their investigation... well, she's on her own. Eve starts talking, taking the marshals on a little trip down memory lane: One night she found Drew burning all their photos and told her that the next day someone would be coming by to tell her he was dead and that -- for all intents and purposes and birthdays and brisses -- he was. Art isn't impressed. He needs more information if he's going to bother using up his limited resources to keep her safe. Eve gulps and finally spills the beans: Drew saw Theo, the Detroit gangster, kill a government informant. Apparently this information is worth killing over and it's also enough to spring the marshals into action. They think this Theo fellow will send an army after Eve, especially now that they know he had an FBI agent to leak him information. Art promises her six armed guards and sends her on her way. Raylan has a question though: How did she know which gym he was at? There are three gyms on the west side, which was all the information she had, how did she know which gym to send Barnes to? She smiles coquettishly, "I have a gift."
