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.

Damn, that was intense.

Okay, I just watched and Coover was definitely wearing the watch on purpose because his feelings were hurt. He wanted to hurt Loretta. Mags was killing me with her pleading to Raylan and then she threw the kill switch on the emotion as soon as he made it clear she wasn't going to see Loretta. That was cold blooded killer eyes there.

When Ms. Johnson hints that it would have been fun back at the motel room, and Raylan flashes that smile that touches his eyes, I needed to fan myself. That boy is attractive.

I didn't think that Dickie was dead. Props to the actor for "Don't hurt my brother!" as Raylan walked out.

I was worried about Boyd the whole time. When he thinks he has a plan or has the upper hand, I get really nervous for his safety. Whew! He lived another episode with bonus clog dancing FTW!

Ava still remains supremely fascinating. Lack of Winona was good too.

Poor Coover.

I'd much rather have still had him than Dickie.

But yeah, super intense episode. Completely packed. Loved Boyd working out a) that Mags was up to something, b) what she was up to, and c) getting cut into the deal. I loved the clogging. And I loved all the music, really, expectedly.

Yeah, I agree that Coover did it deliberately, acting out like a child to hurt another child. But definitely like the bus, the implications were invisible to him.

I think Mags emotion at the end was genuine, but not disinterested. I think Mags had very definite plans for Loretta. I wonder what Loretta knows? But I also think she regretted not being able to say goodbye. I think she would have liked the opportunity to rehabilitate herself in Loretta's eyes, to paint some reason to her.

Poor Loretta.

I believe that Mags genuinely cared for Loretta. I also believe that if it suited her interests, she would have squashed her like a bug. (After all, she mutilated her own son. She definitely would have eliminated anyone she perceived as a threat, even if she had fuzzy feelings towards them.)
