dcp - oh, right. I did too.

I didn't think that Dickie had died, I thought that Coover was too stupid to check for a pulse. I did enjoy Raylan pouring bong water on him to wake him up.

I was trying to decide if Mags was really upset at the end, or she was faking it to get to Loretta.

One thing that irritates me is when stupid characters suddenly get smart in order to advance the plot. I don't see Coover having the subtlety to just wear the watch where Loretta would see it and let her draw her own conclusions. It was a far to clever move for someone stupid AND high.

You thought he did that on purpose?

I didn't get that impression at all.

I can't imagine why else he would suddenly go get the watch and then wear it after the party for the clean up. Plus, the smug look on his face when Loretta saw the watch suggested that he knew.

It didn't occur to me that he put the watch on for Loretta to see. If he did, that actually seems like the kind of cunning but not thoroughly thought out thing that he might do - just like deciding to rob the bus, he can see how he can get the result he wants but not what other consequences there might be from it.

When he and Loretta were carrying the kegs, his sleeve pulled up and he was watching her to see her reaction.

I didn't even know what the watch was when he first got it and put it on, so I was seeing the scene with no preconceived notions, so when I saw her eyes get big and him smirk, I thought "oh, that must have belonged to her dad."

I was trying to decide if Mags was really upset at the end, or she was faking it to get to Loretta.

I was pretty sure she was faking it.

I can't see her being overly sentimental, even though she enjoyed having Loretta as a doll to dress up. Goodness knows bringing Loretta under her wing wasn't out of the goodness of her heart.

Loretta being in the system now means Mags couldn't just dispose of her like she did the girl's father, but she could certainly try to scare her into silence.

Yeah, I realized from her reaction at that point that it must have been her dad's watch, but I didn't catch Coover's smirk.

I think she might see Loretta as a chance to get right what she got wrong with Coover.

I think that you're right, DJ. And she probably enjoyed having a little girl to spoil. Her boys aren't terribly bright, so she also probably looked forward to having someone that wouldn't run the business into the ground.
