TV Review: Justified - "The Devil You Know" - Page 2

The best thing that Dickie could do is let Limehouse keep the money. Now some may keep coming after Dickie, but it buys him time and leverage to not have the stash with him. Ash learns the hard way that it's not so easy to get Dickie's family's fortune. Others could repeat the mistake. Boyd, for one, is likely to try. But maybe by not keeping any of it, and possibly still having business with Limehouse, Dickie will have a little flexibility and protection from his enemies. Of course, Dickie is still hunted by the law as a fugitive, so there's that...

Speaking of season two faces, in "The Devil You Know" Raylan pays a visit to Loretta (Kaitlyn Dever) to ask for information. Fans get to see what has become of the girl. She may not be happy, but she's leading an honest life, helping with a family. This should teach her the right things and keep her on the straight path. That's really the most important bit of this small scene, as Loretta isn't getting involved in this season's issues, so she's not important anymore. That's good for the safety of her character, but bad for the viewers who enjoy her.

It's wonderful to see Dever again, even in this tiny, insignificant role. She has been wasting away on the sitcom Last Man Standing lately, and any reminder of what a terrific actress she can be is welcome on the TV screen.

What is Boyd going to do now? Presumably, he still wants Dickie's money, not realizing that it's gone. But knowing that others are going after it, Boyd is probably wise to lay low. Especially after a betrayal by a close lieutenant, which doesn't exactly put Boyd in the best position to go after any large score right now.

    I think it was unclear that Dewey is dead...he was tranquilized earlier in the jail hospital, that didn't kill him. However, it did seem that the jail doc had some very nasty plans for him, so he COULD be dead.

    You are right in that it isn't explicit that Dewey is dead. But the second time he got the drug, the bad dude got out the plastic sheet. That says just one thing. Unless there's a big twist up their sleeves.

    You guys didn't watch the previews at the end of the episode? Dewey's alive and wakes up in a bathtub minus two kidneys that prison orderly guy removed.

    Really? I had a screener copy, so I didn't watch the episode on TV. But I try not to watch previews so I am surprised. That's cool!
