Flera tecken hamnar där de började eller hamnar på en plats som speglar deras situation från början av säsongen.
Lou:
The episode ends with Mr. and Mrs. Solverson in bed, like in the first episode of the season, and Lou repeats his "and all the ships at sea" line.
Ed:
Ed Blomquist, who stuffed Rye's body into a freezer at the beginning of the season, dies in a meat locker at the end.
Mike:
Mike Milligan started the season taking orders in Kansas City. He thought that his work up north would lead to great things to him, but he returns to taking orders in Kansas City.
Hanzee:
We learned in the penultimate episode Hanzee got started when the elder Gerhardt found him on the street at eight years old. In his coda, he appears to be recruiting some young underlings of his own. (The deaf kid he's watching at the baseball park is implied to be Mister Wrench from season 1, since his new identity "Tripoli" is apparently the leader of the Fargo syndicate.)
Den citerade citatet i frågan tycks sakna en av huvudtema i säsongen, och det faktum att ett annat avsnitt heter "The Myth of Sisyphus": Dessa tecken är dömda för att kämpa utan verkligen utföra någonting, för att återvända till "samma limbo där de började."
