Insolubilia is the fourth episode of Season 5, and the forty-fifth episode overall. It is set to air on December 5, 2023.
Wearing Halloween masks, Gator Tillman and his men approach Dot Lyon's house—he takes Brandy to the back and sends Pace and Lemley to the front. He observes Dot putting something in the oven before she, out of sight from him, hides in a closet. The men in front find the door unlocked and enter, while Gator notes a trap Dot set up next to the back door with a lightbulb falling to alert her of intruders. As Gator picks observes a picture of Dot with her family and his men search the house to no avail, the lights go out and the fire alarm starts to blare, triggered by Dot letting the oven burn. Pace sees a flashing light come from under the basement door and opens it to find a rigged jack-o-lantern, and Dot takes his distraction to mace him and push him down the stairs.
Lured by the noise, Gator and his men see that the closed front door is now open. As Lemley approaches the doorway, Dot springs out from behind a wall and pulls a cord that sends a sledgehammer down, hitting Green in the head. Dot flees out the door and around the house, coming in through the back and grabbing Scotty Lyon's nail bat as Gator shuts the door. She swings at him but misses, getting the bat stuck. As she struggles with the bat, Gator removes his masks, saying "Jesus, Nadine.". Dot, seeing his face and recognising him, says "Shame on you, Gator. There's a baby in this house." He tells her that she will be taken back to Roy Tillman regardless, and she twists his injured wrist and flees to the basement. Gator orders Pace to find Wayne Lyon, with bonus points if he gets the kid too. Gator grabs the bat, disarms the oven, and destroys the smoke detectors to stop the alarm.
As Pace fruitlessly searches the upstairs, Dot climbs up a rope ladder hung in the basement's laundry chute and sneaks past him. Gator searches the house, saying "Where are you Mama? It's time to go home." He eventually enters the basement and finds her rope ladder. Brandy joins Pace and points out the dangling string to the attic door. He pulls the cord and the spring-loaded ladder traps him under it, while Dot bursts out of the bathroom, wraps Brandy in a shower curtain, and throws her down the stairs, tripping up an approaching Gator. Dot clubs Pace with the toilet tank lid and orders Wayne and Scotty, hiding in the attic, to go down the chute as she shoots at Gator with Brandy's gun. Wayne instead hurries Scotty to the bedroom, planning to go out the window, but is electrocuted by one of Dot's traps. Dot hurriedly unplugs the wire, but the trap makes the curtains catch fire, and Dot places them under the bedroom door to deter Gator who's trying to bash in the door with the bat. They pull Wayne onto the roof and Scotty climbs down the trellis. Unable to wake him, Dot rolls Wayne off the roof and into some bushes. As she descends and carries Wayne away, Gator frees Pace, who carries Lemley out with Brandy while the police arrive. Dot, emotional, stares at her house burning.
As Roy sits in his chapel, he addresses the statue of Jesus on the cross and muses about how he's at "the crossroads" and the devil is in the middle. He recalls a case of a man murdering his family, believing he could see Satan talking to the man when he came to arrest him, but that Jesus protected him in that moment. He returns to his house to find his guard dead and footprints leading upstairs. Roy hurries up with a rifle to find a handprint next to his daughters' bedroom door, and when he enters, Ole Munch is gone but a symbol is drawn in blood on the wall.
As Dot and Scotty sit in the hospital waiting room talking, Dot tells her they can't talk about Gator and his men or they will they return. She tells Scotty that they have to say Wayne's electrocution and fall was an accident, and that "bad things don't happen to good people" but "sometimes accidents happen."
Witt Farr and Indira Olmstead watch footage from the gas station shooting, with Indira positively identifying Dot. She wonders why Dot would flee the scene and pretend it never happened despite her good work. Muscavage informs them of the fire at the Lyon house. As Indira leaves to investigate, she gets a call from a debt collector asking about Lars Olmstead's medical bills from an accident the previous year.
