Plot

Raylan goes to Florida to deal with the Crowe family. Meanwhile, Boyd goes to Detroit to find a missing shipment of drugs.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is testifying in a civil case brought by Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman) and is being given a tough examination by plaintiff's attorney Marsha Keyhoe (Jeannetta Arnette) about the circumstances surrounding Dewey being led to believe his kidney's had been harvested ("The Devil You Know (2012)"). She's scoring points and there's a sidebar confab with Assistant U.S. Attorney David Vasquez (Rick Gomez), Keyhoe and Presiding Justice Mike Reardon (Stephen Root) who clearly wishes to be done with this case. Directing Keyhoe to step back, Vasquez and Reardon have a brief sotto voce exchange in which some numbers are tersely exchanged. Back on the record, the Judge tells Dewey and Keyoe that while there was an offer from the Government for $20,000, the Government "has now modified that to three hundred. Do you accept that offer?"

The plaintiff is seriously miffed, rises to his feet to express his outrage at how badly he has been treated, and says "You telling me that all I get is $300?" Reardon holds his head in his hands for a moment, then clarifies, "$300,000. You nitwit!" Dewey is stupified, and as the realization takes hold, he lets out a gasp.

Elsewhere, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) and his incarcerated one true love Ava Crowder (Joelle Carter) are in conference with defense attorney Billy "The Wildman" Geist (Don McManus), discussing options in her case involving the Evidence Tampering, Obstruction and Desecration of a Corpse, the late, unlamented Delroy (William Mapother) in "Loose Ends (2012)." Boyd assures Ava that he will take care of everything to free her so they can resume their life together. Officer Susan Crane (Arriane Alexander) enters and calls time on the embracing couple's visitation.

Boyd and Jimmy (Jesse Luken) sit on a bridge in the middle of the night, waiting to consummate a deal with his Detroit connection, who when they arrive, attempt to rip the "simple country folk" off, taking his money without delivering any product. Boyd is one step ahead of them and with help of Carl (Justin Welborn) on overwatch with a scoped rifle, kills the three Detroit gun thugs but gets his left ear shot in the process.

Boyd calls Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) in bed at home, gives him the highlights of the bridge encounter and tells him, "Pack your bags, we're going to Detroit."

In South Florida, Dewey's cousin Dilly Crowe (Jason Gray-Stanford) and his Cuban cohort Elvis Machado (Amaury Nolasco) visit rogue Coast Guard officer Simon Lee (Ron Yuan) on his boat to pay him for his part in their criminal enterprise, the smuggling of contraband sugar to sell below market value to candy companies. Dilly's a little short (actually half) on the payment which leads to a major disagreement and Lee being shot dead by Dilly and, for good measure, Elvis.

With a known association to Dilly and Elvis, and Lee reported missing, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen (Nick Searcy) detachs Raylan back to South Forida to help with the Federal Task Force's investigation. Art reminds Rayan that while he's there he'll be able to visit new mother Winona and his infant daughter. Still the prospect of the trip is not viewed in a positive light by Raylan.

Raylan thinks it'd be smart to chat with the one Crowe in the area before jumping on any planes, so he heads off to find Dewey. However, he first stumbles into Wade Messer (James Le Gros), who is a little too social. When Raylan eventually finds Dewey outback playing "Marco Polo" with a pair of naked whores in his new above-ground pool, he learns that Dewey is the new proprietor of Audry's brothel and saloon. Ordering the two girls out of the pool, he pats down Dewey's bath robe and retrieves a nickel-plated revolver. "It ain't even loaded and it ain't mine," Dewey insists, in spite of the personalized mother-of-pearl stocks. After some snappy repartee about the other branch of the family... "them Florida Crowes are bad news," he advises... Raylan leaves, firing several rounds into the vinyl pool causing it to rupture all over the yard. "Get a bucket or something!" Dewey desperately tells the whores who've returned to see what the shooting was about.

Arriving in Miami, Raylan is partnered with Gregg Sutter (David Koechner) as set out to find Daryl Crowe (Michael Rapaport), a known associate of Elvis. Daryl realizes that his cousin Dilly has created a "federal situation" by murdering the Guard Guardsman, and tells him to get rid of the body.

Enter licensed 'gator hunter Jean Baptiste (Edi Gathegi), who alerts Daryl after Raylan and Sutter pay him a visit, as Dilly and Elvis look on from a safe distance.

Detroit is hardly fun city for Boyd and Duffy, who end up in a very questionable apartment building for another meeting with Sammy Tonin (Max Perlich), while some poor guy gets hacked up by a chainsaw in the next room. Sammy quickly gets shot right in front of them by Tonin henchman Picker (John Kapelos), along with the dude being tuned into sushi and the chainsaw guy. A henchman informs them that they really ought to be talking to the Canadians represented by Dave Foley who listens, then after learning what happened on the bridge back in Harlan, observes, "The idea behind organized crime is that it's supposed to be organized."

Raylan is approached by Wendy Crowe (Alicia Witt), who tells him that she's Daryl's lawyer as well as his sister, and that he's willing to play ball if he gets something in return. Once the deal is done, Daryl arrives and tells the Marshals that they'll have Elvis by tonight; if he fails to produce, Raylan warns, Daryl will be back behind bars tomorrow on a parole violation.

After the Marshals depart, on Daryl's signal, Dilly is stabbed to death by his own brother Danny (A.J. Buckley) for generally being an idiot. Daryl tells Raylan where Wendy is taking Elvis, but Elvis has a gun, so when Raylan and Sutter arrive at the motel, no one is there. A quick-thinking Wendy escapes from the car after inducing a traffic accident, leaving Elvis stranded but armed. The marshals eventually find him at a local marina, intent on escaping back to Cuba on a small boat that won't start. When he pulls on the Marshals, they efficiently ventilate the man.

The next morning, Raylan meets Daryl to inform him that he's held up his end of their deal and that Daryl is off parole. He learns that Wendy has fled to Miami, and that Dilly is likely inside of an alligator. After Raylan leaves Jean Baptiste suggests to Daryl that he head to Kentucky since South Florida is now dead to him.

Meanwhile, Raylan goes back home without stopping to see the baby, although he gets a video-chat update from Winona while sitting in the Marshals' office. While he cares about his family, it's obvious that his work will always be the first love in his life.

And Boyd pays an unannounced late-night visit to the mansion of Harlan Illuminati member Lee Paxton (Sam Anderson), hoping to use him to curry favor with his friend Judge Bishop who's sitting on Ava's case. When the meeting doesn't go well and the funeral director becomes aggressively insulting toward Ava, Boyd, in a fit of rage, clubs Paxton almost to death with his pistol, and after a brief Hobson's Choice negotiation with his younger Latvian trophy wife, Mara (Karolina Wydra), leaves him bloody in a corner for her to attend to.
