Damned if you don't end up feeling sorry for Dickie after the events of 'The Devil You Know'. Forced at gunpoint to escape prison and finagle the stashed Bennett stockpile from Limehouse - only to find the money spent and be reminded of the fallen family empire. It's an ordeal with no happy ending, and even Raylan is surprised by this turn ("What? Goddamn if I don't have to save Dickie Bennett").
This is mostly about that prison escape and the money grab (a very Elmore Leonard scheme), which means bad men and oddly funny interactions (Givens doesn't need a gun, he'll just run you over). That alone is fun, but the episode's darker moments are also exhilarating. Neil McDonough has a few minutes' screen time, swinging from neighborly to unbalanced (and right back). But the best part is the final scene, in which Boyd turns the tables on the seditious Devil. It's a phenomenal scene, characteristic of Goggins' abilities in the role.
9/10
