And this is where the season solidifies its turn to greatness. It's not just the jaw-dropping ending, but the various double-crosses that led right to it. Raylan can no longer trust Ava as an informant (and for good reason) and Mikey turns on Wynn Duffy, offering him up to the very people he snitched on. But seeing Ava shoot her fiancée and drive off with his money is just . . . man, it's a thing of beauty.
Concerning Boon, the late addition to Sam Elliott's hired muscle, he gets the full psycho treatment here. Historically, when a real bad seed shows up, Raylan ends up outdrawing him. And that outcome seems to be foretold for Boon, what with his flashing his six-shooter to everyone. He's an off-putting character, and it's because I know where this leads that I like him as much as I do.
