Justified Season Five - Through Episode Five

Crowders
  1. Boyd is frustrated with efforts to get Eva out of prison
  2. Boyd’s supplier tries to double cross him so he heads to Detroit to confront them
  3. Turns out the supplier (Sammy Tonin) operation is in disarray. Tonin is double crossed/murdered by Picker. Boyd gets picker to take him and Duffy to the Canadian wholesalers
  4. Canadians offer one final shipment to Boyd. Picker to make introduction to new Mexican wholesaler for Boyd
  5. Boyd visits Paxter for help with Evan, becomes enraged by him. Does the murder to him. Wife sees but they are like let’s exchange cash for a NDB here.
  6. Sheriff Mooney tries to pin Paxton's beating on Boyd but Paxton's wife, Mara, purposefully does not identify Boyd as the culprit and tries to strike a deal with Boyd
  7.  Still no progress on getting Ava out of prison, as the judge is not buyable or threatenable
  8. Boyd quells a minor uprising by his dealers by offering free drinks and a timetable for fresh drugs, after Duffy's attempt to do so fails

  10. Boyd's shipment gets hijacked and all his people get dead. 
  11. Boyd gets angry at Duffy, accusing him of stealing the shipment 
  12. Paxton instructs Mooney to kill Boyd
  13. Boyd and Ava have a falling out of sorts during his visit, where he's more concerned with what information Ava can provide him about the drug caravan robbery than about how they are going to get her out of prison .  She's mad he's not even giving her a "hey holding up okay?" and more or less blaming her (rightfully, but he doesn't need to say it) for the whole situation
  14. Boyd and Mara get the drop on Mooney and get him to report to Paxton he killed Boyd
  15. Which leads to an upset Boyd and Mara having tattoo touching time.  A reminder of Boyd's Aryan beliefs, which I'm sure he still holds but doesn't practice actively.

  20.  Boyd makes Johnny an offer which Johnny rebuffs.
  21. Boyd stages Paxton's suicide, getting Eva out of prison, w/ a side of revenge
  22. The hack who has it in for Eva stages his own stabbing to keep Eva in prison
  23. HR has it in for Johnny who turns the tables on him by giving his henchmen his own share of the hijacking
Crowe

I think the Crowe family is working along the lines of a classic bad guy group, albeit with some combined roles. 
  • Darryl: The Big Bad 
  • The Haitian: The Dragon. The person Darryl directs his idiots to in order to deal with their problem.  Completely unrattled by the marshals.  Advises Darryl on their next cash cow.
  • Danny: Could be The Dragon if The Haitian stays in Florida, but most likely The Brute.  If he did take on Dragon responsibilities, I get the sense he'd fail at them.  Does the dirty work taking out Dylan.  Preoccupied for much of his scenes with firecrackers.
  • Wendy: The Dark Chick.  A city mouse while the rest of the family are country/swamp mice.  Resourceful (causing the car crash) and able to act like a person in order to speak to the marshals.  This is low bar, but it is relative to the rest of the swamp people
  • This is Justified/Elmore Leonard so there isn't a clear Evil Genius, but it appears most of the brain power is supplied by a team effort between Darryl and Wendy (per their conversation they shooed Dylan away from)
  1. Dewey: Given a settlement for being operating on and punched in the face a bunch of times
  2. Dilly & associate: Kill Coast Guard Officer
  3. Darryl & sister: Makes deal with marshals to end his parole and hand over the CubanSister: drives Cuban to the marshals until he takes her hostage, but causes a car accident and escapes
  4. Cuban: Tries to escape, but caught up by the marshals and shot and killed 
  5. Darryl's parole is lifted due to his cooperation.  Advised by Haitian to get a hand into Dewey's $300k
  6. Darryl & Co. surprise Dewey by showing up in Harlan, with a reminder of Dewey's Aryan beliefs
  7. Darryl eggs Dewey on to get a rebate from Boyd for Audrey's
  8. Boyd turns Dewey right back at Daryl telling him to stand up for himself
  9. Darryl is amused and impressed by Dewey's newfound confidence.  He side steps it though and shows Dewey he's sussed out Messer's skimming and eggs Dewey on to kill him
  10. This attempt goes badly and Dewey has to hunt Messer down in the woods
  11. Dewey is picked up by some hikers
  12. Darryl gets Dewey and takes him to finish the job, but Messer has died and his body is found by the police 
  13. The littlest Crowe is taken by Raylan to put pressure on them to leave Harlan
  14. Danny takes everything in the world as an insult and sucker shoots the Haitian
Raylan
  1. Last season, arranges hit on Augustine via Tonin/Picker
  2. Goes to Florida to track down Dilly and the Cuba (and can see his kid in the process).  Casually mentions Dewey's windfall in earshot of The Haitian
  3. Makes a deal with Darryl to find the Cuban
  4. Talks with Sutter about how Sutter would find reasons to avoid his family so he wouldn't have to leave his family at the end the weekend (Raylan then avoids seeing his kid)
  5. Goes to meet the Cuban, shoots Cuban when he tries to escape
  6. Fails to mention he was in town when Skyping with Winona and the baby 
  7. Art asks him about why Sammy Tonin would contact him and secretyly investigates into Sammy
  8. Raylan is called to jail by Loretta and also meets her social worker.  Doesn't get Loretta out of jail.  Decides to "have a talk" with her boyfriend, Derrick
  9. Raylan moves into the seized house of a Detroit money launderer
  10. Raylan tries to bang the social worker
  11. Raylan talks to Derrick but ultimately has to rescue him and Loretta from drug dealers
  12. Raylan eggs on the money launderer, flaunting that he's living in his house and drinking his wine
  13. Rachel and Raylan flip the bangmaid and get her to rile up the money launderer by telling him his gold is stolen, directing his ire at Wynn Duffy (installer of the safe which housed said gold)
  14. Raylan offers protection to Duffy as he is a target, even though Raylan engineered the whole situation as a ploy to draw out the money launderer
  15. Money launderer tries to kill Duffy, is shot by Mike
  16. Ultimately, Tonin being dead severs the direct connection between Raylan and Nicky Augustine's death, but perhaps someone like Picker could link them and create a world of trouble for Raylan.
  17. Vasquez and Art inform Raylan Messer, who is a CI, is missing, and Raylan has to track him down
  18. Raylan runs across the Crowes  and Boyd in his investigation, including a 14 year old bartender at Audrey's
