Cash Game

The plot thickens!

Boyd doesn’t get what he was looking for from the bank heist (a boat load of cash) and goes to his partners to shake their trees. He wanted this to be quick and easy so he could take off with Ava. Along with this, we find out that the guy looking to buy up all the property, Ty, is part of a para-military group. This guy is a problem. His not so subtle threat to the older couple would put anyone on edge. The three guys (so far) served together and are working with someone to fund them. This, of course, has the guy Boyd’s partners wanted to rip off (Calhoun) right in the middle.  Calhoun realizes that his life is more important than money a little too late…maybe Raylan can help him.

So this revelation brings Raylan into close proximity to Boyd. Nipping at his heels really. Any scene with these two automatically means great things.

1) The talk Boyd and Raylan have outside the office was just delicious. Amazing writing and acting. It’s the stuff that this season will be remembered for.

2) Ava and Boyd confrontation. Holy animal, when Ava comes back home with the paper work Boyd hid in the shed! Raylan freaked her out when he implies Boyd wanted her to find that stuff (he didn’t). She decides to go on the offensive and it works. So intense, so good. When he leaves she practically passes out when she gets back into the house.

3)Choo-choo! Oh my god this new character is the best! I love him! Awesome introduction, he should just get better and better. He looks to be the muscle of the Ty group, but man is he funny. I’ve never seen Duke Davis Roberts before, he’s a hell of an actor. Perfect fit for the show.
