And not in a good or bad way. My issue with this episode (and season as a whole) is that it was a good episode of TV but not a good episode of Fargo. What I mean by this is that in Season 1 or 2, the stakes were set incredibly high by episode 8. Multiple main characters were already dead, and it was incredibly intense. This season? First main character death, and it was silly. It did the trope of "character doesn't answer phone that will tell them they are in danger." I mean really? Danish Graves was fantastic, he was a normal lawyer but with a unique eyepatch. This led me to believe that he would have some sort of connection to the dangerous side of the season. But nope. He's shot dead by Roy Tillman who is incredibly lucky to not already be dead or jailed by now. What I'm saying is Danish Graves was very wasted in my opinion and could have played an interesting role in these last two episodes, but it's clear the creators knew that someone would have to die by this episode. So there goes Danish. Everything in this season has been dragged out. Ole Munch appearing in Gator's car? That's it. We have to wait till next week to see what happens. Wouldn't have happened in Season 1 or 2.
In conclusion, good episode of tv but not by Fargo standards, especially so close to the end. Season has been way too slow for a Fargo season in my opinion. But there's still two episodes left so we shall see. Maybe they'll be phenomenal. Only time will tell.
