This comedy-crime show with a total of 10 episodes is intense and has been successful in keeping the audience hooked, making us anticipate the next episodes every time.

Fargo season 5 Episode 4, titled 'Insolubilia', starts with Halloween night. The streets of Minnesota are decorated for Halloween, and in come four masked men with weapons. All have their faces covered with Halloween masks as they approach Dot's house.

And then begins the 15-minute-long intense hide-and-seek game of life and death between the masked intruders and Dot's family.

Dot fights off attackers.

The scene starts with Dot putting food in her oven when she senses the intruders and hides in a cabin. From her hidden spot, she witnesses the masked intruders searching for her everywhere in the house in silence.

And then, after a while, Dot begins her game and starts getting them down one by one with her excellent fighter moves.

Fighting off one, she finds out that the attackers are none but Roy's men because the attackers were led by Gator.

She fights them off well, but her plan weakens when they find out about her husband Wayne and her daughter Scotty. In an attempt to save them, Dot ends up going to the bedroom with them, where Wayne gets an electric shock.

But before Gator could get hold of them, the Lyon family escaped successfully, leaving Roy's plan unsuccessful.

This fight ended up burning down her house and landing her husband in the hospital.

The police learn about Dot’s lies.

We also see Ms. Olmstead and Witt Farr in the police department, where they've found the footage that shows Dot in the gas station. Now the police also know that Dot is hiding the truth, but they are confused about the reason.

Lorraine reaches the hospital to see Wayne.

In the meantime, Wayne's mother reaches the hospital with Graves and is cold to Dot for having landed her son in the hospital.

Right then, Olmstead and Witt Farr also reach the hospital to investigate Dot about the latest fire incident. But with Graves' help, Dot rebuffs them.

Dot had told Scotty not to tell anyone about the men who had attacked them; she had given her a made-up story to share with others.

When Dot gets to meet Wayne, she tries her best to feed into his mind that there was no attack and it was just an accident that caused him injuries.

Dot is Nadine?

We get to know that Dot's actual name is Nadine, and she was Roy's second wife. There could be some bad blood between the two that made Roy look out for her again after so many years.

Roy and Munch

We see Roy pissed off at Munch for entering his house smeared with goat blood that looked like he was doing some ritual.

He feared that he would have harmed his family but found out that his daughters were safe, but there was a sign on the wall made with blood.

Munch goes to a strange lady’s house.

After returning from Roy's house, Munch ends up in a strange old lady's bathroom, and we see him recalling something from his past. When the lady asks him what he wants from her, he just says pancakes.

Roy shoots a man.

At the end, we see Roy shooting a man who was under his records for the domestic violence case. But we see that the killing was not required, and he just shot him for his personal reasons. He tells Gator that they are going to pose the dead man as Munch, who was being looked out for by the police department for killing the cop.

Roy’s influential power helps him

We get to see some authorities involved in the Roy case make efforts to save Roy from the investigation because of his powerful influence over the police department.

This is where the episode ends. Despite getting brutally attacked so often, Dot hiding it from the police raises a lot of questions in our minds as to what exactly she is hiding. And how bad has her past been with Roy?

It would be interesting to see how the story unfolds in the coming episodes. The anticipation is real. Stay tuned with us as we cover the preview, release date, and spoilers for Fargo season 5 episode 5.
