What Will Happen in Fargo Season 5?

In Episode 4, Dot  (Juno Temple) recognizes Gator (Joe Keery) during an invasion at the Lyon's house and successfully defends against the attackers, albeit causing a fire that injures Wayne (David Rysdahl). 

The family and Gator's crew escape before the fire department arrives. Roy (Jon Hamm), investigating Munch's (Sam Spruell) actions, discovers an arcane symbol in his daughters' room while FBI agents suspect Roy's involvement with the militia. 

In another confrontation, Roy manipulates a domestic violence situation, resulting in a fatal outcome for the husband. Gator returns without success in his mission.

The episode explores themes of identity, power, and manipulation, suggesting a potential parallel between Dot and Roy in their tendency to deny reality for personal gain.
