We start with Ruiz pronouncing sentence: Boyd and his crew will live, but they're forfeiting any claim to the shipment. Boyd contests this decision, offering to get the bodies across the border (covered with all the heroin, he declines to add) -- without Hot Rod's connection. Ruiz, after apparently consulting with Yoon, gives Boyd's idea the okay, so the plan is now to go to an old associate of Darryl's, "Flores," who just so happens to hold a grudge against him or so is the story the Crowes are telling. Darryl doesn't want to do it, but Danny pushes him, although this could be all part of the act. On the way to the border, Darryl assures Boyd that they're on his side, but they don't have a chance to get too much closer before wailing from the back about the unpleasantness of riding with the corpses forces an unscheduled pit stop. Later, the Mexican cops pull the caravan over, and Boyd and Company pose as missionaries, but the cops try to extort not only protection money from them but also the truck, which turns out to be the plan as Boyd and the boys took the drugs with them in their little car and left the corpses in the truck. Flores then shows up and seems to be willing to help them out, but Jimmy's fluency in Spanish reveals that Darryl and Flores are double-crossing them (which explains Darryl's trickery in shooting down Hot Rod's guys). Boyd, however, decides to play along at least until they get out of Mexico, which hopefully will happen more quickly than the time it's taking for Ava to get out of prison.
Kendal meets up with his Uncle Jack, who Wendy disbelievingly determines is a fracker and also thinks is just there to grab some money and break the kid's heart -- but when she goes to the bathroom, she comes back to find the two of them gone for Ohio. And things just get worse, as when Wendy walks into Audrey's, she finds a grizzled old dude "Michael" looking for "Jack Anderson" from North Dakota; as smart as she is, she puts the dude off enough to get outside, shoot out his tires and escape. Meanwhile, Jack confesses to Kendal that he beat up a guy who was about to rape a friend of his, and the guy is now after him -- but Kendal calls bullshit, adding that he knows Jack's actually his father and Wendy his mother. Jack confesses that's true and also that he's been skimming from a poker game, so the guy he stole from is after him. When Michael turns up, Jack bravely runs away, leaving Kendal in his power.
Raylan invites Allison to come to Florida with him, and even though they argue about her being so close to his ex-wife and infant daughter, she agrees -- only then he gets a call from Wendy about needing his help to rescue Kendal. She offers information on her brothers' movements in Mexico, and when Raylan gets a "What are you thinking, hesitating helping this kid" look from Allison, he accedes. On the way, Wendy lets Raylan know the truth about Kendal's parentage before Jack calls and tells her that the dude's got the kid, so the three of them meet up and plan to try to pay the guy off to retrieve Kendal safely. At the meeting, it comes out that Jack beat Michael's son's brains in with a brick and when the two get into it, Raylan takes them both into custody. Wendy then confirms the truth to Kendal about being his mother and asks how he'd like things to go, after which Raylan gives Kendal the bulk of his Caller Number Seven winnings and tells him to save it for the future. Wendy admits she doesn't know what her brothers are up to other than that they're in Mexico, but Raylan is at least happy they retrieved Kendal safely. I really think he likes the kid! Also, Allison dumps Raylan, because of reasons?
In prison, Penny dislocates Ava's shoulder as part of a plan to touch base with a nurse who might be willing to get the drugs into the prison, but the initial effort is unsuccessful, leading Judith to drip a whole lot of menace over Ava. However, the nurse later tells Ava she'll be her contact if A) she doesn't tell Judith her identity and B) Ava's "man on the outside" does her an unspecified favor. So Ava's got herself into a "someday I'll call upon you to do a service for me" situation, which I'm pretty sure always ends great?

It's the next morning in Mexico, and with the air of an insurance adjuster checking out the damage at the scene of an accident, Ruiz chats on the phone as Team Crowe-der sit on the ground nearby awaiting judgment. Jimmy lets us know that he speaks Spanish by informing the rest of them that Ruiz is "bitchin' about havin' to bury us," and if his translation is accurate, it's pretty funny that Boyd and his men are only going to survive because of laziness. When Ruiz disconnects, Boyd -- well-covered by a couple of Ruiz's men -- stands and says that while he infers from Ruiz's demeanor (keeping to himself the part where Jimmy understood him) that they're not going to be handed blindfolds and cigarettes just yet, it also appears that he's not just letting them go scot-free either, and Ruiz confirms that: "You forfeit the shipment and the cash. The business relationship is over."
When Darryl protests, Ruiz points out that they shed blood after agreeing not to, but Boyd offers to get the four corpses across the border without anyone being the wiser. He prevails on Ruiz to confer with Yoon once more, and when Ruiz steps away to make another call, Dewey wonders what would happen if they got pulled over with the corpses in the car, whereupon Darryl tells him it won't be a problem since they'll be hidden "underneath all that heroin." Your Honor, may I ask a follow-up? No, because Ruiz comes back and says that if they succeed, all will be well (since they already have their lives, it seems like this means the business relationship will stay intact), but as the two groups separate, Jimmy asks how they're supposed to get the junk across the border without Hot Rod's connection. Boyd hasn't quite gotten that far yet, but Danny pipes up that they've smuggled stuff across the border before. Darryl, with what will later seem highly likely is faux-reluctance, wonders if he's talking about using "Flores," who "hates my ass," although since Flores's grievance against Darryl has to do with Darryl and Danny tag-teaming his sister, there are probably other parts of Darryl he hates even more. Danny and Darryl continue the "argument," but Danny "wins" when he says that Flores loves "green gringo cash" more than "his ugly sister," and will use a shrimp-boat to get them out. Boyd reminds Darryl that he's responsible for getting the heroin across now, given that he and Danny shot their first option, and if you're looking for it, there's a tiny bit of "thanks for okaying my evil plan" in Darryl's "Okay."
