I'm sure there will be an interview in the next day or two with the exec producer explaining that.
But yea, I'm confused about that scene as well.
Man this show is awesome, so much happened.
My only real gripe is that it was awfully convenient for the hospital not to realize that Lester was gone.

I don't think we need to spoiler discussion of the current episode, do we?
Just in case I'm wrong.
That said, I can't get enough of this show. At least we've got four episodes to go!

Lester put the other patient in his bed and threw the blanket over him. After he got done setting up his brother, he went back to the hospital, dressed back into the gown and wrapped his head up and found a bed to lie in. The nurse who was searching for him found him and brought him back to the room.

The nephew was just a cog in the plan.

If Molly is dead, I could see that getting her father involved. I'm thinking they didn't bother casting Keith Carradine just to cook meals in a diner.

No, I read it -- Lester's plan that is -- as way to get the kid in trouble -- either at home or at school -- so the mom (Lester's sister-in-law) finds that he has the gun, and returns it the gun locker thus discovering Lester's planted 'evidence.'

For some reason I thought that the nurse found the actual missing patient.
Probably because I initially thought Lester was going on the lam, rather than planning to return after planting his fake evidence.

As someone from Minnesota, fish falling from the sky is not normal.
...but I've found a few news articles detailing fish falling from the sky, maybe now during a blizzard, so that part makes no sense.

Grimly once again shows that he really shouldn't be a cop. He pretty much admitted it.
Molly is most definitely alive. She's a central character and they wouldn't kill her off yet. Plus IMDb shows she's in 10 episodes.

The difference is the earlier plagues were caused by Malvo, but there's no way he could have pulled this one off, even if he wasn't busy in a gun fight at the time.

This show is full of contrivances but I still love it. Lester's plan is so stupid that you expect it to backfire, but I have a feeling that it will succeed.
