Between this and "Insidious 2", there really is no universe where Angus Sampson, Patrick Wilson + The Paranormal ends well for everyone involved.

Heh, maybe the "They're out there" feeling got transferred from Hank to Lou in his own old age.
You may note that Bear's man with the glasses R-U-N-N-O-F-T without getting shot, so he may end up buying it next week.
Now, now, there's no need to shout.
Probably EVERY chapter begins with "And so we come to perhaps the bloodiest chapter".
"I've a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it."
ANOTHER bit of meta that I suddenly realised: in this series, Kirsten Dunst plays a mentally ill woman with slight delusions about her place in the world and a tendency to cause destruction. Then, when a gigantic celestial object descends from the heavens unto Earth, she's completely calm and collected because her…
"I don't need to fit in with idiots"
Another bit of meta: the illustration of Denise, the waitress Rye shot, is a visual callback to the original "Fargo" poster:
I think any and all clues point to Betsy being abducted in the next episode. It's been pointing at her a lot.
A little bit of meta for ya: the writer of "True Crime of the Midwest" is in fact a hack, or at the very least poorly organised. This is why the different "Chapters" seem to repeat one another or recycle different elements - he's getting details mixed up and using the same descriptive style over and over.
(Of *course* the surviving Kitchen becomes the fish-sucking syndicate boss from S1. The both of them only talk when they need to.)
*Cut to the Sholwater Building from S1, just after Malvo has utterly wrecked it. Surrounded by bodyguards, a trench coated old man steps on silent suede shoes towards the bullet-ridden corpse of the bloated Fargo boss and nudges it with his cane.*
You realise now that Molly was so comfortable seeing the chief's body in S1E1 because of precisely this episode's events. She's stated at death and broken things and known what to do after.
After all, if they're showing us the events "exactly as they occurred", how do we know what happened in the Waffle House? The only character who could attest to being on the scene would be the UFO itself.
We should have known it with all that finger-circle-drawing.
We've heard it'll be 21st century again, so she'd be what, in her 40s or early 50s? Maybe the new kingpin or working in a rehab centre or something.
I'm willing to bet we'll see a stubbly-headed Simone somewhere in next week's finale, maybe hiding out in a hippy commune or something.
