“Fear and Trembling” Episode 4
Begin with a
short paragraph-long summary of the episode, one that utilizes the Summary-
writing Tips presented earlier in the course. Remember: summarize according the THEME(S)

We are near the half-way point, what predictions do you have for where this suspenseful
series might go? Are Peggy and Ed, as Lou suggests, “already dead and they just don’t know
it yet”? Or will they come to their senses and go to the authorities? Will the Gearhardts and
K.C. Mafia work together?
What are Peggy’s transgressions, especially against her husband? That is, detail the many
times she’s dishonest with her husband.
What are some observations about this episode that you have that you would like to share?
Easter Egg Hunting: what are some callbacks to the original 1996 movie, Fargo? And for the
