Warning: major spoilers ahead.“Justified: City Primeval” ended its eight-episode run with the shocking re-appearance of “Justified” antagonist Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) in the closing minutes of the Aug.

29 episode.Fans of the FX series relished the sight of the supposedly-born-again Crowder preaching the gospel to his fellow prison inmates in Kentucky — and then, shackled tightly, escaping from an armed escort with the help of his lover, a prison guard.They embarked on a joyride to Mexico while newly retired US Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) lolled on a boat in Miami with his daughter, Willa — ignoring an alert about an escaped inmate in Kentucky while his cellphone rings with a call from the US Marshal’s office in Lexington. “Justified: City Primeval” writer/showrunner/executive producer Michael Dinner directed the finale — and said the plan, from the get-go, was to leave Boyd’s Big Reveal until the very end.“[Showrunner] Dave Andron and I got together — we had done ‘Justified’ — and Dave actually pitched the idea of what if we brought Walton back?,” Dinner told The Post. “My instinct was [that] this wasn’t ‘Justified’; it felt like we stuck the landing and we weren’t going to bring back any of the original characters unless it made sense, organically.

We were going to catapult Raylan into this new story. “What Dave and I were most concerned about is that we didn’t want to do this halfway through the eight episodes, like in Episode 5 Raylan’s having trouble with [psycho killer] Clement Mansell [Boyd Holbrook] and he goes to this prison and he talks to Boyd Crowder like, ‘I don’t understand this guy.
