In this lead-up to the final episode, Hart and Chole now collaborate as civilians in investigating the satanic murders. Both have resigned form the force. When Chole reveals the evidence he has collected, Hart now knows that the (a) Tuttle was a psychotic criminal while running his Wellspring institute and (b) the scarred man is still on the loose. The evidence now points to the Shepherds' Flock school that eventually became the "Light of the Way" academy on Pelican Island. The students include such victims as Marie Fontenot and Rhiane.
After discovering eyewitness testimony from former student Toby Boelert, Chole makes the connection with Tuttle and the satanic murders. While Tuttle is now deceased under suspicious circumstances, Chole burglarized his homes to discover incriminating evidence. Chole and Hart link the strange imagery of the antlers from the photos to masks related to the Courin de Mardi Gras and acts of saturnalia.
From a longstanding Tuttle housekeeper, Miss Delores, the detectives learn that Tuttle has sired children from multiple women and that one of his grandsons had scars on his face. Miss Delores becomes agitated when recalling the strange patterns of images shown to her by Chole. She cries out, "Carcosa--Him Who Eats Time." We are now coming full circle with Nietzsche's view of time and "m-brane" theory, wherein time is an eternal entity of circular time existing outside of the fourth dimension.
The detectives are getting closer to truth as they investigate one of their own--a corrupt cop, Steve Geraci, who is now a sheriff. Geracy took the original deposition in the Marie Fontenot case, and Ted Childress was the sheriff who knew the Fontenot family. Maggie pays a surprise visit to Chole, and he rudely sends her away, admonishing her for having "asked me to lie to you about him," namely, his partner Hart.
The noose is beginning to tighten around those public officials who have concealed and covered up the truth. The investigators who have been grilling Hart and Chole unwittingly ask directions from the kind man who mows lawns around the old Tuttle empire. And the lawnmower has scars on his face.
