TV GUIDE: The Tuesday Playlist: Justified's Manhunt, Preacher's Daughters, Hell's Kitchen

... The title of this week's pivotal episode of FX's
Justified (Tuesday, 10/9c), "
Get Drew," may evoke memories of an
Elmore Leonard classic (
Get Shorty), but
Justified is a modern classic in its own right, honoring
Leonard's spirit with wit and suspenseful grit and twisty plotting that just won't let up. That's especially true after last week's revelation of the identity of the long-missing and much-sought-after Drew Thompson, who sets off a multi-faceted manhunt.
Who'll find him first: Raylan and the rest of the Marshals (all of whom get face time this week, which makes it an extra special episode)? Boyd and his crew, including the duplicitous Johnny, who's got his own dark agenda? At the center of the action, the great character actor
Jim Beaver gives one of his finest performances, matched at every desperate step by
Abby Miller as Drew's adoring and justifiably clingy companion Ellen May, who's being pursued by the Crowder gang for entirely different reasons. The emotionally messy situation gets even more complicated when a new (but familiar) middleman enters the picture. This is without question Tuesday's best bet...
