Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Hank (Ted Danson) is putting up the wanted poster in the beauty shop, he mentions that all those people were killed "for what, A little bit of money". That's the same line that Marge (Frances McDormand) said at the end of the movie Fargo (1996).
- GoofsThe "Wanted" poster for Rye Gerhardt is clearly a poorly made prop as it has no description of him (such as date of birth, height, weight, etc.) and no phone numbers listed for people to call in case he is spotted. It also should have shown his mugshots from the front and from the side. Wanted posters always contain such information.

Lou Solverson: Gotta ask you your business here.
Mike Milligan: Maybe I'm the owner.
Lou Solverson: Nope. Met the owner this mornin'.
Mike Milligan: Is that right? Maybe tell us where he is. Make a few bucks.
Lou Solverson: I was gonna ask you the same. Say, you wouldn't by any chance be Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers, would ya?
Mike Milligan: You make us sound like a prog rock band. "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mike Milligan and the Kitchen Brothers."
[Gale Kitchen pulls a shotgun on Lou]
Mike Milligan: Double Whoops.
Lou Solverson: [raises his own gun] Easy.
Mike Milligan: [mocking Minnesota accent] Minnesota cop. You do know you're in North Dakota, right?
Lou Solverson: Must have got lost on the way to the lake.
Mike Milligan: So, where'd you say you saw old Skip?
Lou Solverson: At your mother's house. I think goin' in the back door.
Mike Milligan: [to Gale Kitchen] I like him.
[turns back to Lou]
Mike Milligan: I like you. Met another fella from Minnesota yesterday. Big guy. Sheriff, I think. I liked him, too.
Lou Solverson: We're a very friendly people.
Mike Milligan: No, that's not it. Pretty unfriendly, actually. But it's the way you're unfriendly - how you're so polite about it. Like you're doing me a favor.

Last season had some supernatural undertones surrounding Lorne Malvo and the fish rain. I'm almost starting to wonder if this season will have sci-fi undertones, with the strange light in the forest that night and the one conversation about alien abductions this episode.
This episode taught me one of the character names using a fun and memorable gag (Mike Milligan is his name). Now I can finally stop referring to him as "the creepy dude with the afro". I'm sure they told it to us before, but I didn't remember because it was not taught memorably. I still don't know the name of Todd from Breaking Bad's character. I could look it up, but the point is that the show should teach me that. I don't usually have trouble remembering character names; I know everyone in Game Of Thrones.
They keep teasing the Bruce Campbell Ronald Reagan character, but we still haven't seen him. I really hope he isn't a one off joke. Also, where's Nick Offerman? Are we going to see him again?
The episode ends with a very dark little scene. Most violent thing this season since the Waffle Hut shooting.
