A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage

"A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage" is the ninth and penultimate episode of the first season of the FX anthology series Fargo.

Meanwhile, Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks), now a mailman, is happily married to Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman), whose theory that Lester was involved in the murders finds new supporters in FBI agents Pepper (Keegan-Michael Key) and Budge (Jordan Peele).

One night, Malvo, along with his fiancée, Jemma Stalone, throw a dinner party at his place, which is attended by his co-worker Dr. Burt and his wife, Louise.

In Las Vegas, Malvo sits at a table talking to Burt, Louise, and Jemma as Lester Nygaard watches from the bar.

He tells Lester that he had been working Burt for six months in order to get to his brother, who apparently has a $100,000 bounty which has now gone to waste.

Lester suggests to his wife Linda that they take a holiday in Mexico; he intends to flee permanently to escape Malvo.

Molly asks why they tried to board a plane at the last minute, and Linda backs up Lester's story by saying she was homesick.

Malvo appears inside the office and shoots Linda in the back of her head, thinking her to be Lester.
