The police scour through the house and finally the outbuilding. They discover a hair bow in Trey’s toolbox, but the gun is gone.
Review
Overall, the episode was very revealing and emotional, as always. The plot thickens, as Chris is brought into the picture and Trey’s house is searched. Was the hair bow Hanna’s? Will Daniel make it out of Paulie? Since Rectify has already been renewed for a 4th season, it is likely the extended finale is going to leave us salivating for more. This episode was great and deserves a 9 out of 10.
