Well, the game moves on after Brandon leaves. Phillip continues to use Stealth R Us as a means to an end. Corrine continues to be annoyed by it. And something new: Julia speaks!

What really comes to light in this episode is that Phillip is still annoying but now there’s no else that’s more annoying. And there’s a lot of Phillip and there’s going to be a lot more of him to come.

Welcome to this weeks episode of Justified. There are only two episodes left after this. I am really hoping that they are going to be able to wrap everything up that they started in this season. This has been an incredible ride and one of my favorite seasons to date.

Last week we finally saw the Marshals get Drew. Unfortunately even though they have him, they still need to find a way out of Harlan without the boys from Detroit getting to them first. Raylan seems like he may have some kind of idea as to what they can do. Lets see what happens!

They really are keeping things fresh up in that loft, aren’t they? I mean, love makes people go crazy and pratfalls ensue, and that’s not exactly a new plotline in sitcom land, but it feels awfully new here. Jess and Schmidt have lost all patience when it comes to their relationships, and it’s exciting. There might be illegal activity involved. There are definitely painkillers. And innuendo. And fish hats.
