The look on Hays face when his son casually crumples up the paper is enough to suggest that's not the case. Which is kinda the point. We've only been hinted at that maybe sometimes Hays plays dumb so we can only guess that this might be in of those times. The musical cue when he drinks the water (same as when he's in the car) and the close up on his eyes suggests that maybe he really did see everything.
They weren’t really deep characters; Woody didn’t even have any motivation half the season. It was a typical buddy cop relationship. I liked both characters (and they were funny) but Cohle made them interesting.
Good point. Symbolically it could mean that his son is able to put to rest something his father suffered with for most of his life;in essence, it's representative of Henry giving his father a new identity, such that he throws away/crumples his old life, and begins a new one as a grandfather. That is his role now, as given to by his son, who says, 'its time to be a grand dad now."The look on Hays face when his son casually crumples up the paper is enough to suggest that's not the case.

The conversation with Emelia about their relationship being defined wholly by this case and needing to move on from it gives us reason to see why he wouldn't have said anything to Roland about it.
If you want right say Hays' pause when his son crumples up the paper is the reason why he looks at it before putting it away then
No way in hell this was intentional. If.it was, the writers should never work on TV again because they are breaking the basic tents of storytelling by telling and not showing, as well as leaving too much unresolved
Show her before the kidnapping. Let the audience see that she is a sweet little girl who loved her brother. That will impact the twist big time because people would actually care about her more.How they gonna show the perspective of Julie when we're wondering if she's in a pedo ring, dead, drugged out somewhere, the pink room, all those other theories and you want an episode dedicated to her and see character development from a missing person and leave zero imagination

Look, the story structure of the entire series--if we are being totally honest--was half assed. The acting and character development made this season great, also the relationships. With the way so many questions went unanswered I really get the feeling some kind of quarrel happened between the director and someone at HBO. All season the director nick has been flat out affirming or rejecting plot theories, something completely unheard of by artistic standards. And now we have that tweet saying a scene was cut. Yes that's common, but with so many unanswered questions from the show I get the feeling that the season was supposed to be longer, but someone or something got in the way and so they had to wrap up a lot in the last episode. I mean, we don't even learn who was passing the notes for Christ sake
As far as people wanting twists
I mean...I read a whole lot of theories of how it would end but I don’t recall seeing people predicting Julie faked her death and got a happily ever after
What other shows have people throwing it crazy theories then getting upset when the show doesn't confirm or deny the theory?
People found out the twist of Westworld and I think Mr Robot too so they both shifted their plots around for the next season to throw the theorizing viewers off. I think Nic followed suit.
This leads me to believe that the Nick P. may wanted more episodes (perhaps 1 or 2 more) to allow the storyline to flesh out completely, but HBO only approved for 8...due to budget constraints.
