- TriviaMargo Martindale won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work in this season.
- GoofsEarly in the episode, Raylen returns to his motel room, the site of last season's finale shooting, to find two (2) taped outlines of gunman he had shot and killed. In reality, tape or chalk line outlines are only used when the suspect is still alive and needs to be transported to a hospital for life saving efforts. Dead suspects would be photographed as part of an extensive forensics investigation which would most likely preclude the room being returned to the shooter or any other guest for several days.
- Quotes
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: Well you know what happens now, don't you? We get legions of AUSAs all up in our ass.
[Motions towards his door before turning towards his safe]
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: Tim! We're going to do the gun thing.
Tim Gutterson: Relinquishing a firearm can be a very emotional moment, and there always must be another deputy in attendance. Add in some premium alcohol, what could possibly go wrong?
Raylan Givens: [Sliding his gun into the envelope offered by Art] Thank you.
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: Uh huh.
Tim Gutterson: [They toast and knock back their bourbon] What you gonna get next?
Raylan Givens: Probably the same thing.
Chief Deputy Art Mullen: You should think about an Uzi.

Not really a spoiler, but the Bennett clan are in the house, and you can tell right away that they are going to play a big part! Led by the matriarch Mags (played to PERFECTION by a relative unknown to TV audiences Margo Martindale), and otherwise comprised of her tads. Dickie, Doyle and Coover these bootlegging pot farmers take no time at all to make an impression on the audience.
Another newcomer is a teenage pot farmer (small time in comparison) Loretta McCready (played by a 16-year-old Kaitlyn Dever) who seems to be in over her head after about 3 seconds after she first appears on screen. This applies ONLY to the character, as the young actress is a true prodigy, inhabiting a character that no teenager should be able to do! A great character played by a great (at least for the role) actress!
She and Martindale are as a pair almost comparable to Olyphant and Goggins in terms of the chemistry they have together (and that is saying quite a bit) throughout the season. The casting of these two, in particular, ensures that season 2 loses none of the momentum from last season's climax.
We also get a bit more of Agent Brooks (Erica Tazel) who starts to show she is more than just a pretty face! (though she is certainly a literal pretty face) She carries her weight among now established characters without being outperformed or outshone. Kind of surprising that I don't think I've seen Ms. Tazel elsewhere!
Kentucky blue grass and apple pie: Season two starts off with almost instantly intriguing new characters, and I can promise you it doesn't let up!
