I don't think he had a plan so much as he realized more or less while he was testifying that keeping Dickie in jail was not necessarily what he most wanted. And testifying as a victim rather than as a lawman was really sticking in his craw.

Art and Vasquez tried so hard, though. Poor guys.

I also think Raylan was going off of what Loretta said about wedding testimonies and saying exactly what you're thinking.

Yes. Is that her name?

And testifying as a victim rather than as a lawman was really sticking in his craw.

I think so much this. It so went against his macho self image to say "He caught me, tied me to a tree, and used me as Pinata. And it hurt like hell." What he said was true on some level but it was also bullshit to avoid having to admit that he really was the victim.

Is that her name?

I was making a guess based on someone mentioning the name upthread, but now I'm not sure.

I think Loretta is the teenager that Mags kind of adopted last season.

I don't recall the name of the bar owner.

Yeah, I want to say "Rita," but I'm not sure...A lot of shit happened, as always. Also, the line to console Raylan in his victimization forms behind me and Scrappy. (probably the one line in my life I wouldn't get embarrassed to get the crip cut for...IJS.)ETA: Somebody online said the bar woman is "Lindsay".

Lord, Quarles is going to lose his shit on someone. Ay ay ay.

Also, poor Wynn Duffy. There's such excellent character work done by all of the secondary characters, as always.
