Armed to the teeth, the women of Ennis forced the scientists to undress and drove them out into the middle of nowhere and set them on their way. Beatrice claims this wasn’t a cold-hearted murder but a test, saying “If she wanted them she would taken them. And if not, their clothes are there for them. They’d be half frozen but they’d survive. But they didn’t though. I guess she wanted to take them. I guess she ate their fucking dreams from the inside out and spit their frozen bones.”
Danvers and Navarro wisely decide to just tell these women that the case is now closed and head off.
Every season of True Detective brushes up against the occult but True Detective: Night Country takes things to the next level. There are many strange happenings throughout these episodes. What’s notable is that each of them could have either a rational or supernatural explanation and the show never commits to which one is true. That tradition continues all the way through to the end of episode 6.
In its final moments, Night Country flashes forward to May 12, the first long day of the year. Danvers is meeting with investigators who have some questions about her and Navarro’s very busy December. Here we learn that the deaths of Otis Heiss and Hank Prior have been blamed on a drug deal gone bad, Raymond Clark’s confession video leaked, and Silver Sky has closed its mines. One question lingers, however: what became of trooper Navarro? She hasn’t been seen since that eventful New Year’s Eve. All Danvers has to say to that is “Let’s put it this way: I don’t think you’ll find Evangeline Navarro out there on the ice.”
So…Navarro is probably dead, right? Earlier in the episode when Danvers and Navarro are freezing to near-death at Tsalal, they have a conversation about all the weird things they’ve been experiencing. Navarro talks about how she’s seen Danvers’ dead son and even muses that her sister Julia may have had the right of it when she walked out into the elements to her death. There’s another spiritual world there beyond our own and Navarro wants to experience it.
“You told me back then that you want to do it,” Danvers tells her friend later on. “You know, walk out … disappear. If you do it, if you decide to, just try to come back, ok?”
