They certainly implied that she walked off into the sea like her sister did. She basically told her there’s an afterlife for the native people and her son was there talking to NavarroBi_3 wrote:E.H.

Re: HBO Television Show: True Detective
The last half of this season really got me thinking about how much garbage Hollywood will pump out these days. Streaming has gotten just as trashy as network tv. If it wasn’t for the rewatch of Elementary I’m doing now, I’m not sure I’d currently be watching anything good. Even the latest two episodes of Tokyo Vice have taken a dive.
