Once again, this series outdoes itself. This is the convergence of the twain. Ed and Peggy Blumquist are being held by authorities in the cabin they rented as a hideout. Dodd is dead, but the idiot cops try to set up a big sting by proposing to wire the erstwhile butcher and his mate and expose the Kansas City mob. They hole up in a motel and await the arrival of the Kansas mafia. What they don't realize is that the Gerhardts have been informed by Hanzee that Dodd is being held (actually, he shot him in the head in the last episode after some racial slurs were sent his way). Lou is the voice of reason and warns the overzealous knuckleheads and they send him packing. The meeting with Mike is the next morning. Guess what. The Gerhardts arrive at night. You can well imagine. There are some scenes of incredible violence. Hanzee has suddenly tapped into his Native American heritage, realizing how wronged he has been by his adoptive family. He begins playing to the middle. How could this get any better?
