Stark County, North Dakota constitutional sheriff Roy Tillman meets with Lenore Hunk and her husband Josh in a diner, explaining his philosophy that women are meant to serve under their husbands, and in return, they are to be protected and nurtured. He tells Josh that he only approves of a man striking his wife when she tries to take over his role, which is why he does not approve of Josh beating Lenore without reason. They both try to deny it, so Roy has his deputy Nugent starts to choke Josh out until Lenore asks him to stop. Roy throws hot coffee in Josh's face when he talks back and gives Lenore money, ordering her to tend to Josh and he will stop by the next day to make sure "the lesson stuck." The Hunks pass Roy's son and deputy Gator, who informs him that Dot Lyon escaped from Ole Munch and Donald Ireland.
The Tillmans meet with Munch at their ranch, who accuses Roy of not warning him of Dot's skills and threat level. Roy asks if he can track her down, and Munch asks why he wants Dot brought in. Roy explains that Dot was his wife who fled from him a decade ago, and he discovered where she lived under a new name after her arrest, claiming she owes him a debt. He asks Munch if he believes a man's actions are good if he is "pure." Munch responds that he is a nihilist and demands extra payment, so Roy sends Gator to take him to the "fixing place." In reality, Roy is ordering Gator to have Munch executed. Munch, however, realizes what's going on when he arrives at the "fixing place" and finds two men armed with shotguns waiting for him. Gator pulls his gun on Munch from behind, at which point Munch stuns him with his cigarette, breaks his wrist, disarms him of his gun, and shoots dead the other two men, leaving Gator temporarily deafened in one ear. By the time Roy arrives in response to the gunfire, Munch is gone.
Dot and Wayne Lyon talk to Indira Olmstead, who wonders about the blood on their floor differing in type from Dot's. Wayne believes Dot's story regardless and Indira leaves.
Danish Graves informs Lorraine Lyon that Dot has returned claiming to have not been kidnapped, leaving her wondering if Dot faked the kidnapping as an extortion attempt but backed out. As she orders Danish to keep suppressing police presence in the case, he wonders if Wayne is in on the scheme. She orders him to talk to Wayne while she goes to interrogate Dot.
Fargo FBI agents Joaquin and Meyer stop by the ranch to ask Roy why he isn't enforcing local law. They inform him that they are investigating his office for abuses of power, and he points out the subjectivity of the phrase "illegal" when put up against the more ludicrous and obscure local laws of the state and county before leaving.
Lorraine and her bodyguard Jerome wait for Dot in her house as she arrives home, sending him to play with Scotty as she asks Dot to sit. She states her firm dislike of Dot and her belief that she is plotting in a way that will harm Wayne, offering to pay her to leave him. Dot responds venomously, claiming to have "climbed through six kinds of hell to get where I am" and that "nobody takes what's mine and lives." A quietly surprised Lorraine leaves with Jerome. Dot looks at the bruising on her body and thinks about Roy until she is interrupted by Scotty, who she asks to help her with a "craft project." Together, they rig the house with several booby traps and homemade alarms.
