The stakes are perpetually high in the world of Appalachian moonshining, but this week’s Moonshiners: “Bolt Action” cranks the tension up another notch. Mark and Digger, never ones to shy away from a risky venture, enlist a Kentucky moonshiner to help them concoct what they hope will be a lucrative new bourbon. Their clandestine operation, however, attracts the unwanted attention of Mike and Jerry, who are still nursing a grudge and seeking payback. When these rival factions collide at the still site, the situation escalates quickly. A single gunshot alters the course of the confrontation, leaving viewers to wonder who fired the shot and what the repercussions will be.

While the specifics of the incident remain carefully guarded, it’s safe to say that this extended 67-minute episode won’t skimp on the drama. Longtime viewers of Moonshiners know that Mark, Digger, Huck, Mike, and Jerry have a history of volatile interactions, and this encounter seems destined to become another chapter in their ongoing saga. Will the Kentucky partnership prove fruitful, or will Mike and Jerry’s thirst for revenge derail the entire operation? And perhaps most importantly, who will be left standing when the dust settles after the gunshot?
