A guy shows up with Johnny’s cash and Yoon says J gets the business and Boyd to do with what he wants as long as he kills him somewhere else.
Allison tells Raylan that Wendy dug up every skeleton in her past to get her suspended. Raylan says he’d like a two week suspension. Allison tells him Wendy also has her eye on him. Raylan’s card is declined and the server says she has to destroy his card. His phone rings. It’s TC who calls him deputy dipshit who tells him he got his card blocked and drained his bank accounts.
