- TriviaMargo Martindale won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work in this season.
- GoofsEarly in the episode, Raylen returns to his motel room, the site of last season's finale shooting, to find two (2) taped outlines of gunman he had shot and killed. In reality, tape or chalk line outlines are only used when the suspect is still alive and needs to be transported to a hospital for life saving efforts. Dead suspects would be photographed as part of an extensive forensics investigation which would most likely preclude the room being returned to the shooter or any other guest for several days.
- Quotes
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: Well you know what happens now, don't you? We get legions of AUSAs all up in our ass.
[Motions towards his door before turning towards his safe]
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: Tim! We're going to do the gun thing.
Tim Gutterson: Relinquishing a firearm can be a very emotional moment, and there always must be another deputy in attendance. Add in some premium alcohol, what could possibly go wrong?
Raylan Givens: [Sliding his gun into the envelope offered by Art] Thank you.
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: Uh huh.
Tim Gutterson: [They toast and knock back their bourbon] What you gonna get next?
Raylan Givens: Probably the same thing.
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: You should think about an Uzi.

The casting is here is perfect. Mags Bennett is a woman of impressive startling guile, and Margo Martindale brings just the matronly warmth to make it work. To wit: after lining his drinking glass with poison, she actually soothes him as his body shuts down. When people praise this show, it's due in no small part to her. There are other worthy Big Bads, but she is something.
The casting is also a big reason why I love (non-Bennett) Loretta, wise beyond her years and saddled with a screw-up father. She can hold her own in the dialogue department. Speaking of which, one of my very favorite scenes is right here. Raylan, having just doused a fugitive in petrol, has to explain why it's a bad idea to draw down on him ("You didn't finish school, did you, Mr. Dean? It's not the liquid that burns, it's the fumes."). This very scene also shows off Raylan's softer side as he rescues Loretta from the trunk of a car. That's another reason why I like her: she elicits his protective instinct.
