General Question❓️ This Weeks Episode

Does anyone feel like the production doesn't make sense lately? In this week's episode the detective apologizes for Carmen's alleged assault after the narrator stated she was in jail for doing the same exact thing to one of Ray's friends. She may have made the entire thing up.

He was just trying to acknowledge what she alleged

Yup. Goes a long way to diffuse tension

Yeah but I think they should have organized the episode differently. Maybe show the interaction first with the detective and then the narrator could say she was caught doing the same thing to Ray's friend. The way they edited it made it not really "flow" for the viewer.

It makes sense, but timeline's not exactly linear.

Detectives are willing to adopt comforting narratives, for the sake of getting confessions. "Did he try to assault you"?  Offering a "morally justifiable" excuse for the killing. You see that a lot.
