What Will Happen in True Detective Season 4, Episode 2?
Jodie Foster and Kali Reis lead an all-star cast of actors in True Detective Season 4, with the story now set to get going after Episode 1 set the stage for the new mystery.
The premiere featured the series leads learning about the disappearance of the aforementioned eight researchers, although the end of the episode set up a scary moment as Foster's Liz Danvers found multiple dead bodies in a patch of ice.
Based on a new trailer for Episode 2, Danvers seems to find an interesting clue on these bodies in the form of a symbol on their foreheads as she dives headfirst into this new murder investigation and puts all of her energy into the case.
She is also already set to come to blows in a way with Reis' Evangeline Navarro after their history with one another was teased in Episode 1, and it appears Episode 2 will shed even more light on their issues with one another.
Family drama will also come into play for Danvers with her step-daughter Leah as the two get into a passionate battle over ideologies, which will tip further towards a boiling point in future episodes.
Episode 1 of True Detective: Night Country is now streaming on Max. Season 4, Episode 2 will debut on HBO and Max at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 21.
