AVC: You got to bring Carla Gugino onto the show. What did you want her to do in this episode, and have we seen the last of her?
GY:I don’t know if we’ve seen the last of her. We all had a good time doing it, and it’s something we would like to—if she’s available and the story seems right, we would love to have her back. The thing she ended up doing is, we see Raylan and Winona in this great condition in the first episode. She’s not nagging him. She’s accepting who he is—or seems to be. We find out later on that in her mind, she’s already gone. But she’s trying to enjoy this time with Raylan, and he doesn’t know what to make of it, but he’s going to enjoy it, too. And then he’s ready to make a commitment to her, you know, “Let’s go look for a house,” and in walks Carla. And Carla represents… she’s not exactly the one that got away. It was certainly the road not taken. For whatever reason, in Miami, they didn’t ever—you know, they might have hooked up, but they didn’t become a full-fledged relationship. And she’s a marshal, so she can shoot a gun, and beat people, and do all that cool marshal stuff. And that’s, in a way, the sort of ideal woman. So we liked the idea of, just when Raylan is about to deepen his commitment to Winona, in comes this blast from the past. And he gets tempted by it, but we see that he turns that down, and he’s fully committed to Winona, and then we allow Carla to see him with Winona and she understands. She gets it.
