Peggy Gets Her Day

I can't help but recommend Kirsten Dunst for an Emmy. I mean, her performance as Peggy Blomquist is stunning. She rises and falls with an emotional barrage that is masterful. Most of the episode takes place in a lake cabin on Lake Vermillion. The Blomquists are holding Dodd Gerhardt hostage and are trying to figure out a way to use him to allow them to get back to normal. Of course, he is villainous to a T and isn't the perfect guest. The fact that giving him up will get the rest of the clan to say, "OK. We'll leave you alone," is ludicrous. Ed keeps going to the gas station to make phone calls. The only one he gets is the psycho, Mike Milligan, and he offers the same deal to him to get the Gerhardts off his back. Peggy tortures Dodd for his "bad manners." Everything is converging now and we have but two episodes left to go. I am so sad that this is going to end and we'll have to wait another year.

Trivia
At the cabin, at some moments Peggy (Kirsten Dunst) is watching a documentary about bugs. It's the same documentary Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare are trying to watch in the movie, and also in a cabin. And in both (the series and the movie), the television can't be seen properly and someone tries to fix it by hitting it with their hands (Kristen Dunst in the series and Steve Buscemi in the film, Fargo (1996)).

Goofs
When Ed drops the newspaper on the ground and the camera zooms in on the headline, the front page flaps in the wind, and the header on the second page shows it to be the Calgary Post for April 9, 2015.

Hanzee Dent: Did you spit in this?
Bartender: What?
Hanzee Dent: Tequila. Pour it in front of me.
Bartender: [pours him a shot of tequila] Here you go, chief.
Hanzee Dent: Looking for a couple. Redheaded man and a blond woman driving a blue Lincoln.
Bartender: White couple? Didn't you guys try to start your own country a while back? Wounded Knee. What happened there? Didn't you feel like being Americans anymore?
Hanzee Dent: I'm not from there.
Bartender: Yeah. See, well, I'm not sure I wanna serve alcohol to a man who doesn't want to be an American.
Hanzee Dent: How about a man who did three tours in Vietnam who's got a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star?
Bartender: Who, you?
Hanzee Dent: [downs the tequila and sets a bill down on the counter] You're welcome.
