Seriously ...

Why would Roy search the house after turning off the gas? Was Dot going to stick around so she could blow up?

How could bad-ass Dot possible forget her rifle?

When you build scenes around the thickest fog imaginable, shouldn't you tear your pages up and start over?

This was not an episode for thoughtful viewers. It was built around two scenes the writers wanted: Munch liberating Dot and Munch delivering a blinded Gator to Roy. Hence Dot's dumb decision, and hence the fog into which Munch can disappear before being shot by Roy. It would have been better to rethink both of these core events so they could happen realistically. It's a shame, too, because a lot of the performances have been absolutely great.
