Tuesday night, Sounding aired, which led to Ava and Raylan locking lips and more familiar faces returning to Harlan.

Ava and Raylan have a complicated history and Yost shared that Raylan probably thinks Ava could be using him, but he still cares about her.

"He's a human being and she's a beautiful woman, and they have this history. He has great affection for her, and he plays such a hard line with her, but how does he really feel about her being with Boyd [Walton Goggins] these past few years? He knows he's responsible for her going back to Harlan 'cause he hooked up with his ex-wife. So it's all very conflicted," Yost revealed.

"But I think he does know that she could be playing him, and he would understand that, not have any great acrimony about it, because he knows that she's in an awful position and she's just trying to stay alive. But he can also be the hard-line Raylan and sort of think, 'Well you put yourself in this position, so don't come crying to me about it,'" he added.

Yost also touched on the return of Constable Bob (Patton Oswalt).

"Bob became a good choice," Yost dished since Raylan wouldn't want his colleagues to know Ava was attempting to run.

Justified is airing now on FX at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesdays.
