The Gift of the Magi:
Season 2, Episode 5.
This marks the debut of Bruce Campbell as Ronald Reagan, the real-life actor turned US President.
This depicts Reagan running for President for the 1980 presidential election and Lou is working on Reagan's security detail.
Exciting moment came in the butcher's when Ed was forced to killed or seriously injured hitmen who was going to kill him culminating with the butcher's being burned down, an unforeseen consequence of this.
Tense cliffhanger as the police arrived on Ed and Peggy's doorstep.

[MS]

Rhinoceros:
Season 2, Episode 6.
Quite a situation that developed when Ed got arrested as well as one that got developed when Karl Weathers went to the police station to see Ed.

[MS]

Did You Do This? No, You Did It!:
Season 2, Episode 7.
Harrowing the scene between Bear and SImone especially with what happened to the latter.
Explosive way to end the episode with the statement about Dodd.

[MS]

Loplop:
Antepenultimate episode of season 2.
What a shock on Dodd being shot dead by Hanzee and then Hanzee instructed that Peggy give him a haircut.
The haircut didn't last long as Lou and Hank coming and with this distracting Peggy attacked Hanzee with the scissors but he survived and flees.
Ed and Peggy sure looked bewildered on then meeting with Lou and Hank.

[MS]

The Castle:
Penultimate episode of season 2.
Quite a shootout at the motel and quite unexpected when Floyd gets stabbed to death by Hanzee.
On top of all this comes a UFO at the end!

[MS]

Palindrome:
Season 2 finale.
Directed by Adam Arkin who is also an actor and gets to be in this episode that he directed.
Not bad way to finish this story and in the aftermath of the motel massacre.
Not bad this ends with a glimpse of the future ie seeing some of the characters as they are in the first season.

[MS]

The Law of Vacant Places:
Season 3 opener.
For this season of Fargo it is lovely to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Interesting opening to East Berlin 1988 with a prisoner being interrogated before jumping into 2010.
There is one particular point of a money loan being called an investment which surely indicates that things are not going to be plain sailing from this season opener.

[MS]

The Principle of Restricted Choice:
Season 3, Episode 2.
Quite a choice (pun intended) this episode presents.
Intriguing Gloria's investigation on Ennis.
Emmit and Sly certainly got a surprise when using an unused office.
