Biography
Earl briefly appears in "Fate's Right Hand", when he is present with Boyd when he robs the bank and steals Calhoun Schrier's blackmail ledger. He also appears in "Noblesse Oblige", when he shows up at Tyler Kent's house to buy emulex that he can use to blow open Avery Markham's safe. Boyd later decides that they need more, but Tyler refuses to give it to him in case the authorities find out. Just then, US marshals Raylan Givens and Rachel Brooks arrive to warn Tyler that they know what he's done. Earl threatens them and takes a swing at them, and after further dialogue the two marshals leave. Earl then forces Tyler to try and rob Emulex from his father Luther, but the robbery goes wrong and Tyler is arrested by the marshals.

Earl is briefly seen in the bar in the episode "Cash Game", and accompanies Boyd, Carl, The Pig and Zachariah Randolph to stash heroin in a mineshaft in "Sounding". He is also placed in charge of guarding Boyd's fiancée Ava Crowder in case Markham goes after her in "Alive Day". As a result, he is seen with her in "Dark as a Dungeon" when Ty Walker arrives and holds Ava at gunpoint to force her to help him rob Markham. Boyd later arrives, and Ty forces him to help too. Ty then discovers Markham has placed a $100, 000 bounty on his head, and knocks out Earl before fleeing in order to avoid being caught.

After a cameo in "Burned", Earl and Carl appear in "Trust", when Boyd sends them to rob Markham's $10, 0000 before he moves it out of Harlan. However, they are instead ambushed by the marshals and arrested, having been set up by Boyd to go after the decoy and take the fall for the robbery while he commits the real robbery.

In "Fugitive Number One", Markham visits Carl and Earl in jail and tells them that Boyd set them up. He also has corrupt cop Deputy Stiles let Carl out and tells him that if he doesn't get the money back from Boyd and kill him, his henchman Boon will kill Earl. Boyd ultimately turns the table on Carl and kills him, but Markham still orders Boon to kill Earl. Fortunately, Raylan manages to take Earl away before he can be killed and offers him protective custody if he agrees to testify against Markham. He then leaves Earl in the car thinking about whether or not to accept his offer. He is later found in the car by marshals in "Collateral", and taken away into the station.
