Munch takes a kidnapped Gator to a remote ice fishing cabin and cuts out his eyes as punishment for killing his innocent landlady. Indira, now Lorraine's head of security, traces Danish's cellphone to the Tillman ranch. Lorraine calls in a favor from the President to deploy an armored FBI and state police force to the compound; Roy, meanwhile, summons his father-in-law's militia to defend the ranch. Dot manages to escape through the floor of the barn amidst the chaos and sneaks into the farmhouse, managing to call Wayne before being confronted by Karen Tillman. Dot overpowers Karen and takes her phone and gun. While outside searching for Dot, Roy is approached by Munch, who accuses him of betraying him and leaves the disfigured Gator with him. Deeming Gator to be "useless" now, Roy abandons him. Dot hides in the pit where Danish's body was dumped, but is discovered by three of Roy's men, only for Munch to kill them. He sets Dot free and gives her a gun before disappearing.
