Penultimate episode soars with heightening conflict and character moments

Things are coming to a head, and 'Fathers and Sons' (aptly named as ever) sees the elders Crowder and Givens at odds with their respective offspring. Bo's operation is bigger than ever but stands imperiled by Boyd's religious convictions. Arlo is one of the most obstinate and spiteful SOBs, but he has his moments; such as using an old war story to talk down a suicidal veteran. And that conversation doesn't really have much to do with the overall story, but does inform his character. And between that scene, his animosity towards Raylan, and the big third act double-cross, Raymond Barry steals the spotlight on this one.

It's funny, but thus far, Art seems far more of a father figure to Raylan than Arlo does (or has been). Which goes to show how nuanced the season's become at this late hour.

9/10

Trivia
The diagram of the judge's snake bite is still on the dry erase board in the conference room.

Goofs
When Boyd fires the RPG at the truck, you can briefly see the RPG round still in the launcher, after it has been fired, revealing that the firing of it was done post-production.
