In the new episode of "Fargo" titled, "The Myth of Sisyphus," Peggy and Ed have to be more careful and execute their plan to dispose Rye's body immediately as the Gerdhardts are adamant in finding their son.
Tension rises in the third episode of "Fargo" season 2 as the Gerhardts continue their search for their son, Rye, who was killed by Kirsten Dunst's Peggy and Jesse Plemons' Ed in a hit-and-run. Mrs. Blomquist will then find out about a new theory regarding the Waffle Hut shooter while Lou, played by Patrick Wilson takes a trip to Fargo, The Futon Critic wrote.
"The Myth of Sisyphus" follows the "Before the Law" episode of the FX anthology where The Kansas City crime syndicate paid the Gerhardt family a visit. Peggy and Ed on the other hand were both being haunted by the crime that they did the previous night, NY Daily News wrote. The married couple had to come up with a way to clean up their mess before someone finds out about their dark secret.
Another character was also introduced during episode 2. Constance Heck, played by Elizabeth Marvel, is the owner of the beauty parlor where Peggy works. But the scene that stuck to ever viewer's mind is the one which Ed decided to grind Rye's body in the meat shop where he works.
Vox even pointed out that that particular scene best represents "Fargo"'s second season. The article noticed how Ed was presented as the victim in his scene with Lou Solverson, played by Patrick Wilson. Lou on the other hand, was presented as the aggressor, though he's just there to buy a bacon. Despite committing the biggest transgression on the show, the shots made by Noah Hawley, director of the episode, saw Ed as the one on the disadvantage.
Vox also noted that the series "lives in these spaces, these minor improprieties stacked up against major ones. Any deviation from the norm, be it disposal of a body or simply buying bacon after business hours, can cause the universe to unravel."
The Gerdhardts will continue to search for Rye in "Fargo" season 2 episode 3 titled, "The Myth of Sisyphus," as Peggy learns another theory about the Waffle Hut shooter.
"Fargo" airs every Monday on FX.
