![]() Of course, these “reversals of expectations” are also something I actually did expect, so the scene is not fresh either way. As Boyd walked off to collect firewood, he replaced the empty magazine with a loaded magazine, and the look on his face (specifically in his eyes) seemed to indicate he is still planning to kill Ava, but he needs to use her first.Ava has been around firearms since she was six years old, so she should have been able to tell by the weight of the gun that the magazine was empty-which means she knew what would have happened if she had tried to shoot Boyd in the head.It’s very likely Ava lied about not having sex with Raylan between “Sounding” and “Alive Day” (6.06)-and that sexual liaison is likely to come back as a problem for both Ava and Raylan with their respective “soulmates.”.It all seems too sweet and convenient, and I expect there are levels of duplicity on both sides: ![]() They then embrace and promise to trust each other so they can work their way out of this mess together. He then apologizes for having abandoned her in prison, and tells her that he loves her, too. Instead, she thrusts the gun back at Boyd while telling him she loves him, and he should take the gun and do what he has to do. If she pulls the trigger, Boyd will know he can’t trust her and he will have to kill her.Īva does not pull the trigger. At that point I’m thinking: He handed her an empty gun. In a reaction that seems to now be a melodrama cliché, Boyd takes out his pistol and hands it to Ava-telling her to put a bullet in his forehead. However, she also tells him she has absolutely not been having sex with Raylan. While Boyd does take Ava hunting ( and kills a wild hog for their lunch), he’s actually “hunting” for the truth from Ava after learning from Ellstin Limehouse that Ava tried to go into hiding during the day that was covered in “Sounding” (6.05)-which, naturally, causes Boyd to assume she is working as a confidential informant for Raylan, as well as reinforcing his suspicion that she and Raylan are having sex.Īfter dancing around those topics with discussions about loyalty, commitment, obligation, et cetera, Ava finally admits she is Raylan’s snitch and that she had to become an informant to get out of prison because Boyd had abandoned her there-telling him he would have done the same thing if he had been in her position. Speaking of Raylan and Boyd’s respective women-folk, let’s get back to Ava and her relaxing hunting vacation in Bulletville. It means Raylan won’t have to move to Miami after he guns down Boyd in the series finale in six more episodes-or it means we now have a reason for Winona to be in Kentucky for the finale scenarios I predicted in my review of “Fate’s Right Hand” (6.01):įinally, the series could end with Raylan and Boyd killing each other during their final showdown-as their respective women-folk watch in agonized horror, of course. Wow! That was a bit of a bombshell Winona dropped. ![]() She gives them a 50-50 shot of making it work, but Raylan says it’s more of a 51-49-though he won’t say which way. Raylan is a crafty critter, though, and he avoids getting trapped in an answer until she eventually confesses she loves him and she wants them to spend the rest of their lives together even if it means she must move back to Kentucky and allow him to continue working as a US Marshal in the Lexington office. However, the real reason Winona is back in town is she is also doing some hunting-for an answer regarding the nature and status of her and Raylan’s relationship.
