This week’s episode of Fargo, “Aporia,” is the penultimate of the third season, and it sticks with the time jump to March, 2011.

In it, we find Emmit delivering the saddest confession ever, in a series of quiet, heartfelt scenes that showcase Ewan McGregor and Carrie Coon. That melancholy then spills over to Gloria, which begets a sweet response from Winnie.
Varga and his remaining henchman may have finally met their match when Varga’s laser-focused dedication to his own plan allows him to be blindsided by someone else’s.

And because I couldn’t tip too much last week, let me saw now that Mary Elizabeth Winstead is just such a badass as Nikki. I love that she got to play this role.
Here’s a sneak peek of tomorrow’s episode and an inside look at the connections between the series and the Coen Brothers ouvre. Fargo airs at 10/9c Wednesdays on FX.
