True Detective Season 3 Ending: 4 Biggest Unanswered Questions (& 8 Actually Explained)
6. Unanswered: Is That Actually Julie Parcell?
The answer is yes. Well, actually, it seems certain it’s a yes. There’s zero way to absolutely be indisputably sure it’s Julie Purcell, but then again no one can be sure of anything. Even if one were to ask her if she is the woman from so long ago, Junius Watts already explained that Isabel had her stuffed with so much Lithium she barely knew who she even was.
Mike Ardoin knew who she was, “even if she didn’t,” to quote Amelia. In a flash of greatness that not many appreciate within the season finale, it’s not important to make her remember. If that is Julie Purcell, she is out of danger and now safe and happy; isn’t that all that truly mattered to Wayne in the end?
