Lester is so stupid. Last week, I figured he would do the smart and sensible thing and just walk back to his hotel room. But he does the complete opposite and talks to Malvo. Worst of all, he pesters him to the point Malvo had to blow his cover.
But it's also a badly-written excuse to advance the plot. What was Lester's motivation in trying to talk to Malvo. It just didn't make sense. Plus Malvo's impulsive action to blow his cover and kill his three friends was a bit flimsy and done more for the shock value. The situation was still easily salvageable.
Malvo's cover was pretty sweet. He had a hot girlfriend/wife, a high-paying job and a great house. He could have just retired from being a hitman and just lived off as a dentist.
Lester's true scumbag self shows up again. Felt bad for his sweet and naive wife.
Glad to see Molly finally got some validation and Bill embarrassed.
One more episode to go.
