Listen, people, the consequences — “they’re almost here.”

Oh, indeed.

“Blanket” was an episode that moved the needle when appropriate and necessary but was mostly a table-setter for what should be back-to-back heart-stopping, laugh-inducing, blood-spurting, plot-crashing, righteous-reckoning bedlam that closes out this brilliant (so far) season of “Fargo.”

Raise your hand if you’re here for that?

(Ole Munch slowly rises in the back seat of Gator’s police cruiser and raises his hand.)

Farewell, brilliantly named “Fargo” character Danish Graves.
