Plot summary

Quarles tricks his guards and escapes. Boyd warily agrees to help Dickie after learning from Errol that Mags's money may be in a Harlan bank. Assuming Quarles will go to Duffy, Boyd instructs him to plant a bomb in Quarles's car. Aware of Boyd's plan, Limehouse tells Quarles to kill him after the robbery, secretly hoping they will kill each other. Arlo hallucinates Helen telling him to attack Ava, which he does before fleeing, and she calls Boyd for help. Dickie incapacitates Johnny and forces Errol to reveal who has Mags's money: Loretta McCready.

Raylan is waiting for him at Loretta's, having been tipped by Limehouse, and he shoots Dickie. Quarles goes to Johnny's bar to kill Boyd, only for Duffy to detonate the bomb, which fails to kill Quarles and catches a nearby Bergen's attention. Raylan arrives shortly after to find Bergen dying and Quarles gone, with Johnny claiming Quarles shot Bergen.
