NOTE: this post contains spoilers for Justified: City Primeval episode 7 "The Smoking Gun."
Things open with a flashback to 1988. Sweetie (Vondie Curtis-Hall) plays guitar on stage in a packed club. There's a little girl sitting on a chair off to the side of the stage. After the show, Sweetie hangs out with some of the other musicians in the alley outside. One of them asks Sweetie about the little girl. It's a young Carolyn. Before her father died, Sweetie promised him that he would look out for Carolyn.
