3x13: Slaughterhouse recap: The episode begins, and State Trooper Tom is dead. Quarles is missing. Givens is furious. The marshal then goes to Johnny's bar to interview Boyd, who claims he was unconscious at the time. Still, Boyd knows enough to finger Wynn Duffey for the man who blew up Quarles' car. Arlo enters. "I heard a cop in a hat got shot, I guess it wasn't you," Arlo tells his son. Boyd then takes Arlo into the back room. "You pulled a gun on Ava!?" Boyd demands. "You haven't been taken your medication, have you?" No, Arlo has not. In fact, the old man begins to babble about seeing Helen. Boyd makes Arlo take a pill "in front of me." Later, Givens shows up at Wynn's trailer. "Was it Quarles? Where is he?" the marshal demands. "What do you know?" Wynn plays coy, which doesn't sit well with the lawman...

The working girls, meanwhile, are testing out the gangster's tricky sleeve gun. Boyd was nice enough to leave a bottle of pills behind. Quarles offers some to the ladies, who seem more than willing to partake. Back at Johnny's bar, Boyd explains to the gang that he is going to deliver Quarles to Tonin and split the $200,000 bounty with Wynn. A good score. Errol then enters the bar ... and introduces a sheepish Dickie. Boyd's face goes taut. He attacks Dickie, dragging him into the back room, wrapping a garbage bag over his head and beating him in the face...

Threatened to murder a trigger-happy U.S. marshal and b). is now leaving town for a few hours. What if Givens shows up? Quarles basically tells Wynn to man up. Givens, meanwhile, downstairs to greet Lindsey, who is working the bar. It's a bit awkward between the new lovers at first, but Lindsey breaks the ice. "I feel a little bad for taking advantage of you, but not so bad that I don't plan to do it again," she says before disappearing into the back room. Just then, the doors fly open and two goons enter. "I don't suppose you two fellas are from Detroit?" the marshal asks. Bingo...

Suddenly, Shelby emerges from his house with a shotgun. Shelby tells the deputies to remove the package and leave. He said he admires the deputies' loyalty and hopes that they will treat him as kindly when he wins the election for sheriff -- not that he'd ask such a task. "Everybody knows you're in Boyd Crowder's pocket," retorts one of Sheriff Napier's men. Shelby then explains that he is dying of cancer and only wants to make something of his life before his time on Earth is done. Shelby then heads to Boyd, who is impressed that the candidate held off two men with guns. Shelby admits the cancer story was a lie to convince the deputies that he didn't fear death...

He seems to consider his next move before hiding the gun behind a chest under a window. The next morning, the marshal enters Art's office. Art asks why Givens has been looking into a Detroit hustler named Brady Hughes. Apparently, the young man is connected -- not in a legal way -- with Quarles. Art, however, has had enough of this pseudo investigation, noting that Givens has nothing in the way of proof. "We're going to shut this down," Art says. "Us and Quarles. You and Quarles." Givens isn't happy. Delroy sits in a van while, in the back, a trio of ladies do copious amounts of drugs...
