I just wanted to add a couple thoughts to the excellent review by darbski (which you should read first).
While I agree that new chief Dammick is stupid and lazy, I'm beginning to think he has an ulterior motive. He has blocked every effort to investigate each of the suspicious deaths.
I also agree that Mashman is a coward, but since I'm sure Yuri unloaded his pistol before he came back to get it, he'd probably be dead otherwise. Yuri is just too cocky for that not to be true.
Although it's apparent that Nikki was the only prisoner in the police station, I'm sure that the bus had already made several previous stops to pick up prisoners, which would explain the presence of Mr. Wrench (one of the mob hit men from season 1). Which brings me to my final thought: what if the bus crash had nothing to do with Nikki, but was orchestrated to free Mr. Wrench? What other purpose does his presence possibly serve - unless it's just an Easter egg. We will soon find out.
So far, I think this as been the best season of Fargo so far. Hope the final episode won't be a yawner like the first two seasons.
