What to expect from Fargo season 5 episode 9?
The cat-and-mouse game between Roy Tillman and his ex-wife Dot took an ugly turn in Fargo season 5 episode 8, when he threatened to kill her for trying to outsmart him. He also attempted to break her will by chaining her to the floor like an animal.
However, Dot remained defiant as she thought that Linda had escaped from his clutches and would come to her rescue. Roy eventually shattered this illusion when he revealed he had killed and buried her. The episode ended with Dot looking out of a broken window with fear in her eyes after realizing that Roy has no mercy for his foes.
Episode 9 is expected to give fans a better idea of Roy’s plans for his estranged wife, who might make one last-ditch effort to save her life. She may also receive help from Lorraine or Wayne even though they are ill-equipped to deal with Roy.
The new episode is also likely to explore the impact of Roy's actions on his relationship with Gator, his son, and his re-election campaign. This situation may turn murkier if Ole, the younger Tillman’s foe, decides to get even with him. All in all, this episode can potentially set the stage for an action-packed finale.
