Lou discovers the dead clerk that Hanzee dispatched with, but when he tries to loop in a local trooper, he is literally escorted to the state line - all the while unaware that the reason wife Betsy didn’t answer the phone when he called to check in is because she had collapsed in the kitchen :( On his way out, Lou stops at the filling station that played a pivotal role last week, where Ed would make his calls and where Hanzee got the 411 on the heavy-set red-haired man. It is when Lou strongly opposes that notion that he is shooed away. Finding the meek-turned-mighty marrieds in the remote shack with dead Dodd and a meet with Kansas City’s Mike Milligan on the menu, the Sioux Falls guys get the idea to wire Ed for his rendezvous with Milligan. The season’s penultimate episode opened on a much lighter note, with a bit of a jurisdictional squabble as the Sioux Falls troopers elbowed Minnesota colleague Lou Solverson out of the way, seizing control of the bananas Blumquist case. Just as the ninth episode of Fargo Season 1 first made reference to “The Sioux Falls Massacre,” the ninth episode of Season 2 allowed us to see the 1979 incident play out.Īnd yes, as future Lou would tell Lorne Malvo, you could climb to the second floor if you stacked the dead bodies.
