After the events of the last episode, Michelle is left wondering about the chance their family never had. She confronts Steve over the gold and his decision to keep it a secret. Steve defends his decision by saying the gold is evil but Michelle berates him for making them suffer in despair.
Bronson’s men, led by Blaine, arrive at the Sheriff’s office. They kill all the deputies after learning the Sherriff’s location near the mines. Billy narrates his mother’s death to McCoy and Kurt. He explains how the men entered their house and murdered his mother for being a witness.
Bronson’s “no witnesses” policy means she cannot be left alive. As McCoy tries to do the same to Billy, Bronson’s men catch up. Billy escapes in the tussle but Kurt is killed. Blaine and company are surprised to find Marco, a.k.a. McCoy. Blaine decides to accompany him to retrieve the Federal money. ..
Symone draws Eve’s body down to give her a proper burial. Since she is gone and there is no one to protect them, the girls at Red Lantern decide to leave the town with the money. Blaine’s men relay the news to Bronson, who decides to leave everything at once and come to Greenvale to pick up his brother. Billy makes his way back to town and takes shelter in Eve’s room at the Lantern. ..
McCoy finds out that the money he was looking for was taken from him by Blaine in order to get it for himself. He decides to take matters into his own hands and kill him in order to get the money back. However, when he reaches the money, he realizes that it has all been wiped out in the rain.
Episode six was a disappointment. The writers seemed to have settled for the same tired story lines and visual appeal from earlier episodes. Many great plot points were concluded without any regard to the buildup. The rain that should have marked town-wide celebrations just resulted in one substantial thing: ruining McCoy’s Federal stash. ..
The townspeople were as usual after the shootout and massacre of all the deputies in town. There was no compelling outcome from the episode, other than McCoy and Bronson’s expected meeting. That will be explosive, or at least that’s our sincere hope. One aspect of “That Dirty Black Bag’s” thematic composition that was augmented by “To Hell” was that of Western lawlessness and savagery.
The shootout between law enforcement and criminals without any fear of consequence gave a clear reminder of how powerless and unaccountable both groups are. ..
The episode was a disappointment because it didn’t have a good plot. The show has been consistent and good so far, but this episode didn’t have that. Hopefully, the last two episodes will have a better plot.
