'Cause Ellen May ain't going nowhere. A man lost his arm, and the marshals took my money. And we aim to find out. And we get rid of Delroy's body once and for all. Ava, Ava, Ava. Ava: But if you're saying that we go after Ellen May, we ain't even got the money to do it. Ava: Who said that? Because this duplicitous piece of sh1t couldn't get us to the man who has the whore, so you help us get the whore, we give lemon head the money, you get the duplicitous piece of sh1t. Boyd: And why... may I ask... Do you want Ellen May? Boyd: Ellen May hadn't got the means or the imagination to take off on her own. Boyd: For both of them? Boyd: I'm gonna stick a gun in Limehouse's mouth, tell him we have emulex tucked underneath three houses in his holler, I just can't remember which one. Boyd: Raylan? But if you're civil and easy to get along with, I'll let you roll the window down on the way back to Lexington. Cassie: And he does, Ellen May. Colt: But he's right. Colt: Ellen May up in Nobles... Colt: You know what it's like to be in the sh1t. Ellen May should be there. Ellen May. Even Boyd's out with the Detroit boys now. Fine, I'll take Rachel and Tim. For Boyd and Ava to kill me. His truck's set outside his bar. I need you to take Nicky's men to the church where Cassie is. I was told the asking price is $300,000. Is she a fugitive? Johnny: Ellen May. Johnny: Shelby won't testify unless she's safe. Johnny: Well, I can think of about 300,000 reasons. Johnny: Well, do you have Ellen May? Johnny: Well, things have changed since then, Mr. Limehouse. Lately, there's been some noise that Drew Thompson was gumming up the works of his deal over some trailer-park bunk bunny he wants protected. Marshals about to search the place. Maybe she went back to see Nicky Cush. Move away. Mr. Augustine, seeing as how Drew Thompson's already in the marshals' custody, why you're cutting off the tail of my cousin and offering him up is opaque to me. No, it is not. Raylan: And Theo Tonin? Raylan: Maybe this is just him trying to take a parting shot at Boyd. Raylan: Runaway named Ellen May. Raylan: The whore, Ellen May. Say, where's Ellen May? Shelby's in custody. They came...
Raylan: Boyd, want to send a message to you and the boys you're working for from Detroit. This is the money to buy her. Tim: Yeah? Was that the marshal in the hat? Whenever she'd get in trouble, she... she'd threaten to go to Limehouse! Winona... You willing to have two murders on your head? You're the one who decided to bite the hand. [PREVIOUSLY_ON]

Summary: Drew Thompson tells the Marshals he will refuse his deal for WITSEC unless he knows that Ellen May is safe. Meanwhile, Augustine tells Johnny that Theo Tonin, the Detroit mob boss, has heard from his informants that Drew won't enter protective custody to testify against Tonin unless Ellen May is safe. The Detroit mobsters figure they can use Ellen May to deter Drew from testifying. Augustine gets Johnny to help retrieve Ellen May. Johnny calls Limehouse, but Limehouse refuses to cooperate. Augustine then offers to give Boyd $300,000 to buy back Ellen May since Johnny can't get it done. In exchange for Ellen May, Augustine will hand over Johnny, who betrayed Boyd. Raylan, Rachel, and Tim head to Limehouse's holler where Limehouse denies Ellen May is on the property, but dares them to search. Ava, who snuck in through a back entrance, offers the $300,000 to Limehouse, but he tells Ava he released Ellen May. Instead of taking money for Ellen May, Limehouse determines it is in his best interest to let Ellen May go (instead of taking money) to avoid extra heat from the Marshals, maintain his reputation as a protector of women in trouble, and also to avoid potential armed confrontation with Boyd and the Detroit mobsters. Ava and Colt head to the church from separate origination points, while Boyd, Augustine, and Picker head to Nicky Cush's house to find Ellen May. Cush confesses Ellen May is at the church after Boyd shoots him in the foot and presses against the wound. At the church, Ava gets there first and overhears Ellen May confessing Delroy's murder to Cassie, as well as her participation in the disposal of his body. Ava finds herself unable to kill Ellen May, so Boyd instead instructs Colt to do the deed. Tim arrives at the church just as Colt prepares to kill Ellen May. The two have a stand off and Tim guns Colt down in self-defense after Colt raises his gun. Raylan arrives and takes Ellen May into custody, where she is reunited with Drew at the Marshals' office. Boyd and Ava decide their last play is to move and hide Delroy's body to avoid incrimination now that Ellen May is in custody. Later, a delivery man sets up a rocking chair for Winona, Raylan's wife. The last shot of the episode is of the delivery man, who turns out to be Picker, one of Augustine's henchmen.
