The Oh, Welcome to the Fargo Podcast, the Fargo Podcast, the officially unofficial podcast for Fargo on FX I'm a run and

start talking about season four episode seven titled layaway I don't know much you

but I feel like this whole episode is just layaway for the future war that's about to come.

We've put it down an installment. The first installment was Dr. Citter. The second installment is

it's going to be Kalamita.

I don't know, the satchel was a fake second installment

that we just also put that on a credit card.

I don't know.

It's, it felt to me like it was getting us to the place we need to go.

And I enjoyed watching it, you know, it's like I'm invested in the story that they're telling.

And so when a couple of episodes like the last one in this one come along and they're just kind of like moving things into place,

I'm totally cool with that. I'm just watching it and kind of thinking like okay, you know, where could all this be going? But also just enjoying my time with these characters.

Yeah, it reminds me like if this episode was a stretch of the Godfather, this would be where Michael is picked up by, I can't remember, the police chief and his mafia goon and they're driving him over to

New Jersey and then they do the U-turn on the turnpike and who isn't that excited and they they pull up to the diner.

Like you have to get you have to get that there's you have to get from from that point to this

for the rest of the movie to happen but like and you got to make it interesting you know you got to have

Oh my gosh where are they taking me or we go in the Jersey? Oh, that's not what the plan was are gonna do you turn on the time and lose the tail like yeah I don't begrudge them for trying to spice up these what are clearly very connective the tissue type of

episodes and there's a lot of strong performances and some good character work.

Since there's not a lot happening, like actually happening, it allows the episode to kind of really take its time on some of these other things.

Yeah.

You know, Chris Rock processing his, uh, uh, I can speed in a lay- grief I guess like you know he's grieving for something

that hasn't actually happened which I thought was interesting to watch someone do
