Plot summary

Dewey Crowe is released from prison and wins $300,000 in a police brutality lawsuit against Raylan, which he uses to buy Audrey's. Dewey's Floridian cousin Dilly kills a USCG officer, so Raylan partners with Miami deputy marshal Greg Sutter. Dilly's brother Daryl Jr. offers to give Raylan their associate Elvis Machado to avoid criminal charges. He makes his brother Danny kill Dilly for his recklessness, while Elvis, being driven to a setup by Daryl's sister Wendy, suspects something is off and flees. Raylan and Sutter kill him when he pulls a gun on them.

Raylan calls Winona and their newborn daughter Willa upon returning to Kentucky, not revealing he was in Miami despite them living there. After killing Detroit men who try to rob him during a heroin deal, Boyd meets with Sammy Tonin, witnessing Ethan Picker kill him on orders from the Canadian mob Sammy was in debt to. Boyd convinces the Canadians to do business with him and Picker. He brutalizes Lee Paxton when he refuses to free Ava from prison, which his wife Mara witnesses. Boyd offers to buy her silence.
