This has got to be one of the funniest, yet tense episodes of all the Fargo episodes. Jeffrey Donovan and Kirsten Dunst are utterly brilliant in the cabin. The way the "foot's on the other shoe" 😂🤣🤣, with the misogynistic Dodd all tied up by the totally deluded Peggy calling the shots, is hilarious. I can't remember how many times I've noted the time on this scene to rewatch, but it never ceases to make me laugh out loud. It's superbly scripted, acted and is an intelligent and thoughtful plot twist. So good to see Dodd taken down by a "girl"! I don't know who taught these actors the Minnesotan dialect, but these two have been A* students. The tension is building in other areas...Ed is using his bargaining chip to his advantage. And Patrick Wilson & Ted Danson are a prize-winning duo - perfect foils for each other. I do love this Season. I still cannot decide whether I prefer Billy Bob's laconic baddie to the more garrulous Jeffrey Donovan's baddie. Perhaps they're just both 10/10 but completely different personalities?! Excellent.
