Yeah, it seemed like it was purely pride to me. If what he cared about was providing for his family, he could have done that then -they were even willing to put some face-saving spin on it, saying it was due him for the work he'd done back in the day.

You are dead on with the money and prestige being his drug. He's finally getting what he deserves, recognition of his mad skills, all the money that teaching high school was never going to make him. Yeah.

And the price for that is pretty much the real relationships that he used to have with Skylar and Walt Jr.

How angry he was when he found out he was in remission, that he wasn't dying - that ruined all his plans.

Did not see Curtis buying it.

Interesting that the hat is an official dresscode for Raylan. I guess it would be weird if it was a permanent fixture, but interesting that he chooses to not wear it when socializing.

Definitely found this weeks ep much more even. I don't need Raylan in every scene, but the second ep seemed out of balance between the time devoted between the criminals and the marshalls.

Loved the byplay between all the criminals in this ep. Just plain fun writing. Also did not see the curtiscide coming.

I felt like this plot could have used more time to untangle the loyalties. But maybe it's better that I'm left wioth a sense that there was more going on than was explicit. In any case, very enjoyable.

Also surprised by Curtis's demise.

My wish (and Jeff Eastin's) has come true: Neal goes up against Don Draper in the Elite Eight.

I just caught up on Justified. They are really getting that Leonard feel in this show and I absolutely love it. Curtis' death definitely felt like an EL moment.

Was that Steve from Sex and the City as Pinter? It sure sounded like him, and looked enough like him to make me do the dog head tilt every time he was on screen.

Also, I'm pretty sure I spotted Alan Ruck in the preview for next week.

Yep, that was Steve. If he's a recurring character, he'll be a lot of fun.

I agree. He's like the criminal-ish version of Raylan - just wants to get the hell out of Kentucky, but he'll do his work.

It felt like USA really cut up the premiere of In Plain Sight messing up the scene transitions.
