Maggie’s interrogation by the two cops in 2012, interlaced with her coming to grips with Hart’s (ongoing) infidelity, is a fool’s errand for the interrogators but a trove of revealing details for the viewer. The trigger that fires this episode’s pistol is Hart entering an affair with a shockingly young woman named Beth, whom he met when she was shockingly younger (and possibly working as a prostitute) while investigating the Lang murder in 1995. The interior life of Hart is the real grist for True Detective‘s mill, while the fascinating façade of Cohle peels away to reveal an observer, a man too focused on what he seeks to be in conflict. And so, per creator and showrunner Nic Pizzolatto, last night’s “Haunted Houses” brings us to the end of True Detective‘s second act with the fruitless interrogation of Maggie Hart, the only-slightly-less fruitless ongoing investigation of 2002 Rust Cohle, two terribly inappropriate and terribly hot sex scenes, and (drum roll) the meeting of 2012 Cohle and Hart, with a force that feels tidal after nearly six hours of wind-up.Īs I predicted in last week’s recap, matters turned inward, or interpersonal at least, and Hart (along with his wife) became our focus.
