The episode begins in a lone cabin sitting on the middle of a body of ice. Inside, Ole Munch is warming up a blade while his captive, Gator, tries to talk his way out of his present situation. Needs confirmation, I think. Gator even offers his flamethrower or some young women. He removes the red hot blade from the flames and first presses it against his skin to test the heat.
Munch then waxes on again: an old woman watches a young man play a game. She drinks because her own son has spit the nipple from his mouth. She bothers no one, yet Gator killed her. As the Bible says, what is taken must be given. Over at Tillman ranch, Dot uses the cot to try and grab a nail from a ceiling beam, but she falls back onto the ground. Never one to quit, she starts kicking away at one of the floorboards.
As for Nadine? The most he ever felt, he felt for Nadine. But this morning? But when Bowman enters the cabin, Nadine is nowhere to be seen. In no time at all, Dot frees herself from her handcuffs. Lorraine calls Danish, but only gets his voicemail.
Instead, she wants Jerome to call the orange idiot. Roy records a video message, saying that this is a code , officer down. All armed patriots must respond to the incoming military ambush. Roy will keep the feds face forward while the others box them in. Karen, meanwhile, sends her daughters away.
Dot slips out of the cabin and heads into a cellar that empties into the main Tillman home. She enters an upstairs room that happens to have a phone. But the happy moment is cut short when the lights go on and Dot sees Karen at the doorway with a gun. With no other choice, Dot complies. The room is a bit of a time machine. Even the curtains on the wall are constant reminders of Dot.
