The question the show is seemingly asking us to ask is:
a) what happened to Lori between 1990 and 2015?
and
b) why is Roland pissed at something Wayne did that he didn't do or was forced to do? [Reply]

Stolen from elsewhere:
Roland looks insanely betrayed by Tom in the interrogation room when they think Tom might actually be the killer. That fucking scowl is menacing as hell.
-While interrogating Tom at the beginning of the episode, Wayne asks Tom again about where he was the night of the incident. Tom panics and says something along the lines of “You know where I...” then trails off. He’s looking right at Roland when he says this.
-Roland desperately wants to “clear Tom” of any involvement.
-When Hays wants to follow up on Tom being gay, he mentions going to gay clubs and that Devil’s Den was a “homo cruisin’ spot”. West replies to this by telling Hays to “fuck off”.
-2015 Roland is a bitter old man who lives alone. A far cry from how we see Roland (and his home) in 1980 and 1990.
- When Henry drives Wayne out to see him. Roland asks him if Wayne “remembers why I’m still pissed at him.” Wayne may possibly out in him in 1990 inadvertently.
- Roland bristles at Wayne’s repeated use of prison rape as a threat in interrogations. He makes sure to voice his displeasure to this each time. [Reply]

I know this season has been a slow burn for people but I’ve really enjoyed it. The writing and directing is so much more developed and mature than previous seasons. Certainly doesn’t have the fireworks of S1, but I think the artistry is higher. I also think that it’s going to reward rewatching and analysis more like a piece of good literature. [Reply]

Decouple the title "True Detective" and this is probably raved about truly on its own merits. IMHO. [Reply]
I think a redditor nailed it again. Wayne knows enough of the parties involved to 'solve' the case but he's knuckled by Hoyt into an agreement for his silence.. but his dementia has lead him to forgot both how he's cracked the case and his agreement to stay silent.
Also, well fucking played on feigning Harris James' internal bleeding / punctured lung act since it seemed like that's how he was going to die without rolling on Hoyt... instead of all but telegraphing shooting him.
