What stuck out the most to me this episode was the conflicts in both characters.
Hart talks about how his father was a real man who kept things to himself and as such can't stand his father-in-law for complaining about the state of the world. At the same time he tries to keep his family untouched by his work, but in doing so is actually pushing his wife away (the cheating) while his children are far from untouched by their daddy's work (the gangrape doll situation), which actually confirms what his father-in-law was saying.
Rust on the other hand claims he can tell the difference between the hallucinations and real life, but really just seems to be given some spiritual importance to the hallucinations he likes to think are real (the birds). Similarwise, he tells the cops in 2012 the hallucinations/dreaming stopped when he got off drugs and got clean, yet he's made a habit of drinking a sixpack every day, basically having traded in one vice for another. There's also his talk about how he supposedly could pinpoint the weaknesses in a subject when trying to get information from the two guys in the garage, only to just beat the crap out of them, which has nothing to with pinpointing weaknesses and everything with just threatening/hurting people into complying (see also him talking to the hooker about him being very dangerous because he can hurt people with impunity). While he's an expert cop, he's also a bit delusional about how good he really is.
