The Gerhardts almost go full-‘Assault on Precinct 13’ in Luverne.
That last part might not be right.
Namely, how did that meat cleaver end up in Virgils head.

What is he doing with his life?
What does it all mean if hes going to die?
And to be honest, it probably never was that.
His son was supposed to break away.
Now hes in a jail cell.
The already-lain fuel is lit when Bear receives Charlies call from jail.
The reversal puts Dodd in a position to deliver the most patriarchal of punishments: the belt.
Bring Charlie home, and kill the Butcher of Luverne.
The men may be gone, but theyve left their mark.
Mike Milligan, of course.
He called me a whore, she tells her lover.
Technically… he replies, trailing off.
NEXT:Who wants to talk about poetry?!…
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
He chortled in his joy.
And the mome raths outgrabe
Did you notice how a lot of those words are complete and utter nonsense?
Did you actually read the poem?
Go back, and read it.
How quickly I forget that every other episode hinted at UFO sightings!
Looking back on the poem, its clear thatFargohas just found its lyrical twin.
NEXT:No more poetry, I promise.
After every hour, Im at a loss to say which actor has impressed me the most this season.
Bokeem Woodbine held the title for a while, as did Jean Smart.
Brad Garretts work as Joe Bulo (may he rest in a hat box) was a revelation.
And I think its time the universe recognized just how damn good Patrick Wilson is.
(An Emmy would do.)
But after Rhinoceros, you could make a solid argument for both Kirsten Dunst and Nick Offerman.
Specifically, why didnt she stop the car after hitting Rye Gerhardt?
Literally everything that Peggy says in her scenes with Frank is fascinating and deserves a recap unto itself.
Youre a little touched, arent ya?
Frank asks, but its not that simple.
Peggy has become the by-product of her husbands false dream.
It doesnt matter what they throw at me, he tells Lou back at the station.
Im going to take care of whats mine.
It also felt fitting that Dodd is undone, at least temporarily, by his cattle prod.
(A decidedly phallic choice of weapon, I might add.)
Meanwhile, Karl Weathers, slightly inebriated, has matters under control at the police station.
(Though I will concede that his best co-star is usually his facial hair.)
Ed, rather pathetically, is on the lam, looking to continue his struggle.
And ever vigilant, Hanzee is on his trail.
