'Justified' Fan Columnist: Skeletons Come A-Dancin'

"For Blood or Money," while gratifying, was all over the place plot-wise, a bunch of rogue story lines that needed airing out. For once, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) was peripheral to much of the action, which mainly involved Rachel Brooks' (Erica Tazel) brother-in-law, Clinton (Larenz Tate, Black Shawn! from Rescue Me). He's in a halfway house after serving time and clearly has some bipolar thing going on in addition to bottled rage. When his supervisor grounds him for missing a cleaning shift -- preventing him from going to his son Nick's 12th birthday party with a poignant, long-ago-wished-for gift -- a (fake) Furby -- he loses it, nearly bashing the guy's brains in with a phone. We learn that he was responsible for Rachel's sister's death, driving drunk (albeit taking his overdosed wife to the hospital). Clinton carjacks an old cohort, Flex (an aspiring magician), shooting him in his card-shuffling hand, veers from Nick's school to the home of Rachel's mom, who he disarmed and tied up (and who obviously gave Rachel her spine), and finally to a pizza place where he was to meet his son. A showdown involving the marshals, the halfway house supervisor, and a vengeful Flex ensues and Clinton's subdued, although Rachel shoots Flex.
