Although the entire series is an interlude (morality play) in exploring the Seven Deadly Sins, this episode reveals the players and their true roles more clearly. You could probably argue Sheriff Roy embodies all the sins, but picking out the individual players is more fun.
Lust - Vivian Dugger - This one first emerges in this episode, almost a bit of a force, by introducing Vivian's apparently uncontrollable appetite for strippers.
Gluttony - Wink Lyon - He appears always to be drunk and lost in consuming the wealth around him.
Greed - Lorraine Lyon - This one is obvious, but you could argue that She and Sheriff Roy could be interchangeable in either sin.
Sloth - Lars Olmstead - Despite 'working" so hard at being a better golfer, he is the embodiment of laziness. He blames everyone else for his problems, including his equipment. He needs to be more active in working to achieve his dreams.
Wrath - Ole Munch - He is the actual instrument of (God's) revenge.
Envy - Gator Tillman/Danish Graves - You could argue that they are both satellites of Roy and Lorraine, respectively, and are, to some degree, jealous of who they are and what they represent.
Pride - Roy Tillman - ironically, because he views himself as an instrument of God's wrath.
Irony (as well as the 7 Deadly Sins) are hallmarks of the Fargo franchise, and they play out with emphasis in this episode.
