Pressure continues to build

A lot of moving parts are involved in 'Blowback', and just about all of them are fantastic. A hostage situation in the Marshal's office commands most of this, but it's happening while AUSA Vasquez is present to hold a hearing on Raylan's oast shooting. But it also furthers Raylan's beef with the Crowder family as both Bo and Boyd are released from prison.

All of this is enough for 40 minutes, but the writers throw more into the mix: Gary's illicit dealings which bring a "security consultant" to Winona's house. Enter Wynn Duffy, who is a great character in his own right, but also extends things beyond Harlan to a larger criminal outfit. It's a beautifully tense episode.
