There is a bit of nuance in their new arrangement, though: Gaetano acknowledges that Josto is the brain of the operation, but makes it clear, in their meeting, that he has the support of the team. Only the councilor, Ebal Violante, seems to be keeping an eye on the new agreement.
Loy planned this situation, of course. When he learns of the reconciliation of the Fadda brothers, he has a word: “Fargo”. That’s the reward for the massive arms shipment he transferred to Mort Kellerman, the North Dakota mobster that season 2 viewers will remember as a rival to the Gerhardt syndicate. (Not good for him.) And so, the FTU (Fargo Televisual Universe) has its Avengers moment in the final sequence as Kellerman’s gang descends into Fadda’s mansion. This is a war, but Loy is not interested in fighting directly.
Oraetta Mayflower also seemed like a good planner, but she doesn’t seem to have considered that Dr. Harvard could survive her poisoned macaroon, despite collapsing in an elite hospital. Upon hearing the news of her awaited recovery, her only option is to find her room and finish the job, but she is hampered in that effort and makes herself noticed by asking around about him. Sure his relationship with one of the city’s mafia bosses will come into play in this time of need, but he keeps Josto at a safe distance. She’ll happily play the dominatrix in bed, but she’s never been angrier this season than when Josto confesses he loves her.
In recent episodes, poor Odis had been beaten between the Faddas and the Cannons, all to the amazement and consternation of Deafy, who had known for a long time that his relationship with the force was deeply compromised. I thank Odis, therefore, for having a plan of his own. Taken to his lowest point, he makes a laudable request for redemption from Deafy, and the good Mormon is convinced enough to take him with him on an operation to capture Zelmare and Swanee at Union Station. His hesitation to get out of the car is a clever misdirection on the part of the show: we think he’s caught up in fear and OCD tendencies, but he’s actually waiting for the dust to settle enough for him to take Deafy down.
The chaos that comes with Operation Union Station – with Deafy and Swanee dead and Zelmare still on the loose – adds encouraging volatility to this season’s final series of episodes. No one is in a comfortable position here: Oraetta has to worry about Dr. Harvard pursuing the attempted murder charges; Loy must worry that the Faddas are finally uniting against him; the Faddas have to worry about Milligan; and everyone has to worry about Zelmare, who will surely return to town, anxious to settle the score. Sounds like one or two other De Palma set pieces waiting to happen.
