Out Of The Woodwork

Ellen May enters the church tent and sees a bunch of kids playing, and Cassie, the blonde who was sitting on the stage last week while Billy was doing his snake-handling dance, explains that they watch the kids during the day for parents who need the help. Ellen May thinks that's nice, and then Cassie gives her name and asks what she can do for her. Ellen May wants to see Billy, but Cassie politely stonewalls her; however, the man himself appears momentarily and says he needed a break from what he was doing, so Cassie leaves them to it.

Billy, who looks a bit like a cross between a young Ed Norton and someone I can't quite place, asks what's up, so Ellen May tells him she appreciates everything he's done for her, but she doesn't think she can be a part of his church. He asks her to explain, so she haltingly tells him that she knows he said God forgives everyone, but she's done some unspeakable things -- things that no one could forgive -- and even though she's talking of murder, she's a lot easier to relate to when she drops the stupid voice. As she cries, Billy kindly tells her that none of them are without sin, and goes on that her commitment to salvation is the important thing.

Ellen May wants to believe him, but repeats Ava's pronouncement that some people can't be saved, prompting Billy to ask who put that idea in her mind -- maybe the people for whom she compromised herself? Ellen May defends them, but Billy's getting worked up now, and tells Ellen May that they're trying to shame her, and do so out of their own fear and greed. He takes her hand and asks if she wants to be a part of the church, and she whispers that she does -- "more than anything in the world." He tells her that it will happen, then -- she'll know what true peace and happiness can be. Maybe I lack faith, but is she going to ask at some point whether the snake figures into the church initiation?

So there's a little party going on in the large backyard of someone's house, and we see a lot of money changing hands, which presumably has to do with the fighting ring on the premises in which two shirtless guys are jumping around getting ready. One of them is a ripped dude with a cowboy hat and a big back tattoo; the other, sporting a few extra pounds but still looking pretty strong, is our guy from the bar who got in Raylan's face. Once the bets are closed, some thuggish dude steps into the middle of the ring and, after a few seconds, makes a gesture that the fight's on, and the two contestants get going, MMA style. After a few kicks, the ripped dude steps forward and throws a right cross...
