"The Hunt" - Justified - 6-07

In true Justified fashion, it's all gone pear shaped for the intruders.  Markum is invoking his loyalty scheme, which mainly involves paying big bonuses to his men to sell out the others/not abandon him.  They write off Walker as lost, but with him running loose in an ambulance, he's most assuredly not done yet with our story.  Walker wouldn't have gone to all that trouble stitching himself back together just to die immediately. 

You have to admire the ingenuity of calling 9-1-1.  He needs help and can't go to a hospital.  So he commandeers the ambulance.  Giving his credit cards away was smart.  His '1212 Main Street' address is only surpassed by '123 Fake Street.'

This episode made us doubt a lot of things.  When Boyd reloads the gun, we don't know for sure what he was thinking when questioning Ava, and we really don't know what he's thinking now with a loaded gun.

We don't know if Markum did snitch on his partner.  Or who killed the U.S. Attorney.  It doesn't make sense for either Markum or Hale to have done both, the actions are at odds with each other.  Unless they thought they could snitch, get themselves free so they can mitigate their snitching, having planned it all in advance.

Raylan is walking a weird line with the baby where he does not seem entirely invested, taking the baby to the office and lying about it to Winona (and getting caught immediately) and not helping with the manhut.  He's there but he's not helping.  Rachel's contempt for Raylan is at an all time high, she seems to grit her teeth every time she talks to him.  Her question of if he asked Tim if he wanted to hold the baby made me think back to that season one or two line where Rachel asked Raylan what  he thought would happen if she was the one showing up to work in a cowboy hat.
