2.04 - It was cool to have an episode with Rachel so prominent, even if the situation itself was messy as hell. I had a lot of sympathy for Rachel wanting to stay away from that mess, even if it meant distancing herself from her family a bit. The interactions between Raylan and Rachel are lovely, as they always are. There's something wonderfully complementary about the two of them.

2.05 - A lot going on in this episode, but the thing I remember most (well, aside from Mags with the hammer) is how sincere Raylan was with Loretta, offering her an out if things go bad.
