Spoilers ahead.
With just two episodes left to go until the season's end, True Detective's sixth episode was its most straightforward one yet as it provided answers to why Marty Hart and Rust Cohle had a falling out in 2002 and saw Cohle follow up his new leads on the Dora Lange murder to the bitter end.
Coming off the highs of the virtuoso, single-take escape scene and the Big Revelations of the last two episodes, "Haunted Houses" had the thankless task of basically having to be the more conventional, procedural episode where answers were given and plot lines advanced just enough to keep you hanging for the penultimate episode.
Of all the episodes of True Detective so far, "Haunted Houses" is the one that felt the most like a cop show, right down to the rogue detective being suspended by his hard-nosed boss (Paul Ben-Victor, taking over for Kevin Dunn) for ruffling feathers ("Your gun and badge!"). This was the episode charged with having to give answers: about why Hart and Cohle fell out in 2002, about why Marty's marriage finally crumbled, and about why Cohle left the force at that same time. As many fans had (correctly) suspected, all of these reasons were linked.
