The mention of Rachel "playing him good" makes me wonder if there is a new felony case against him in Wisconsin which may still be sealed until he has been arrested by Wisconsin law enforcement. Since the only source is Brand, grain, salt, etc.
As for the time to be delivered, he Lucas Smith gave a long-winded story about his very long extradition trip from Arizona back to Iowa. He claimed the private organization that was delivered him traveled all over the place before eventually getting to Iowa. Of course, this is He Lucas Smith so, well, grain of salt again.
