'Loose Ends' is the epitome for this season's complicated (yet undeniably absorbing_ potting; this thing's just packed with development. Not the least of which is Boyd's hijacking of a town hall between Sheriff Napier and Shelby; recalling a similar scene last season with Mags Bennett in such a role. Most of this episode (like the last several) is the various Harlan criminal players maneuvering for position, adding density to the storyline.
But things become really serious when Ava proves her mettle and puts Delroy to the ground with a shotgun blast - thus ending his sorry career as a scumbag pimp-turned-failed bankrobber. And Raylan's heart-to-heart with Ava warning against following in Boyd's footsteps suddenly adopts a certain relevance.
The writing is just firing on all cylinders.
10/10
