I liked the ending a lot when I first viewed it, ambiguous or not, but after several days I like it even more, because I've become convinced that no one was coming for Varga. Maybe it's my attempt at being optimistic, but after reading several opinions and articles/interviews, I've come to the conclusion that, at least in reality, Varga was slowly loosing his manipulative touch, shaken by the ambush he walked into and nearly got killed in (he had to shed his coat like a snake to escape), then he slips up somehow and gets himself picked up at an airport. His convo with Gloria, again just in reality, makes him sound a bit like a crazy person. David Thewis said in an interview about his bulimia, and that while in and of itself doesn't suggest a lack of control, him sitting on the toilet bingeing on that carton of Rocky Road certainly is at a point where he's in need of comfort due to his circumstances not going the way he planned. And the final talk between Gloria and Varga mirrors the Stasi officer interrogating poor Jakob Ungerleider, except now the world is changed and the "authority" figure is in the right. And however much awfulness goes on in the Fargo universe, the good guys get their win.
