"Who Shaves the Barber?" is the seventh episode of the first season of the FX anthology series Fargo. The episode aired on May 27, 2014, in the United States on FX. It was written by series creator and showrunner Noah Hawley and directed by Scott Winant. The title refers to the paradox in logic known as the barber paradox.
"Who Shaves the Barber?" deals with the consequences of the previous episode, "Buridan's Ass": while Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) is badly injured after Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks) accidentally shot her, the seeds planted by Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) to put the blame of his involvement in the murders on his brother Chazz (Joshua Close) are bearing fruit.
The episode was very well received by critics, and was seen by 1.52 million viewers.
