	List of episodes

"Collateral" is the twelfth episode of the sixth season of the American Neo-Western^[1] television series Justified. It is the 77th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Chris Provenzano and producer VJ Boyd and directed by Michael Pressman. It originally aired on FX on April 7, 2015.

The series is based on Elmore Leonard's stories about the character Raylan Givens, particularly "Fire in the Hole", which serves as the basis for the episode. The series follows Raylan Givens, a tough deputy U.S. Marshal enforcing his own brand of justice. The series revolves around the inhabitants and culture in the Appalachian Mountains area of eastern Kentucky, specifically Harlan County where many of the main characters grew up. In the episode, both Raylan and Boyd close in on Ava while Avery seeks a new alliance for his business.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.83 million household viewers and gained a 0.5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received universal acclaim from critics, who praised the writing, the night shootout scene, character development and acting as strong points.
