Marge (Frances McDormand)’s Timeline and Summary

•  Back
• More 

• Marge gets called to the site of a triple-murder. She picks up clues and helps correct Officer Lou's police work.
• Thanks to a tip from Lou, she's able to interview the sex workers who slept with Gaear and Carl. This leads her to Minneapolis.
• In Minneapolis, she interviews Shep Proudfoot and Jerry. She also meets up with high-school buddy Mike Yanagita for a weird and extremely awkward drink.
• Before leaving, she visits Jerry one more time. After she presses him to see if a Ciera was stolen from his lot, Jerry flees the interview, identifying himself as a guilty man.
• Finally, acting on a tip from one of her officers, Marge discovers the Ciera Carl and Gaear were driving near a cabin by a lake. She finds shoving Carl's dead body into a wood chipper. She shoots him in the leg and arrests him.
• She drives Gaear to the station in her police car, marveling at the terrible things people do for a little bit of money.
• Back home with her husband, she tells him that she's proud of him for getting his painting on the three-cent stamp. They contentedly look forward to the birth of their child in two months.
