The Paradox of Intermediate Transactions is the third episode of Season 5, and the forty-fourth episode overall. It is set to air on November 28, 2023.
Roy Tillman arrives on the scene of Nugent's murder to find his body in the back of Gator Tillman's truck. He asks if Gator pulled the gas station's security footage, but he points out that the state police took the system due to the recent shooting there. Roy asks where Gator found Ole Munch, but he says he found him through the deceased Donald Ireland. Roy orders him to find information on Munch and promises that Munch will be coming back for them. He orders Gator to stage Nugent's death as a car accident. Gator insists he could take Munch in a fair fight, but Roy firmly disagrees and leaves.
Roy returns home to his father-in-law Odin Little's men guarding his house and him inside with Roy's wife Karen. Odin reminds Roy that he needs a new delivery of weapons for his private militia, which he promises is coming soon. He gazes at a wall of family photos, which include several different wedding pictures, including Karen and Dot Lyon. He then sits pensive, watching his twin daughters play in the bathtub. As he smokes marijuana in bed, Karen tries to seduce him by suggesting roleplaying scenarios, but he completely ignores her, staring at the ceiling. As she climbs into bed to lay on his chest, he silently pushes her off. She apologises and hurriedly moves away to leave him alone. He continues staring at the ceiling, where he sees Dot having dinner with her family and murmurs "I see you."
In the dead of night, Dot switches the street signs in her neighborhood around. The next morning, she makes a shopping list of both groceries and things to buy from the gun store as Wayne Lyon asserts that their new alarm system is getting installed soon. She tells him that, for Halloween, she and Scotty Lyon will go as zombie hunters and he will go as a zombie.
In Bismarck, North Dakota, an old woman named Irma takes her several six packs of beer back to her house. She hears something upstairs while watching TV and goes up to find Munch in a rocking chair, who tells her "I live here now."
In Wales, 1522, a man who resembles Munch is brought before a crowd of people in a house (one of which also resembles Munch) where a wealthy man lies dead. A priest has him consume a meal laying on the dead man's chest that represents his sins, which he does so ravenously. He tell the man that "for thy peace, I pawn my own soul" and is forced to drink from a cup held before the man's lips. The priest says "it is done, and cannot be undone," and the man is given the two coins over the dead man's eyes as payment. He leaves the house and looks back, and in the present, Munch repeats "I live here now." Irma goes back downstairs and considers calling the police, but instead goes back to watching TV.
Wayne and Dot go to a gun store, where she is familiar but he is clearly out of his element. She buys several guns despite Wayne's worries about the price, but Dot is alarmed to learn that there will be a mandatory week-long waiting period for a background check. She insists that their home is currently unsafe to the clerk and instead goes to buy pepper spray.
