An entire episode worth of spiritual breakthroughs probably wasn’t what you were expecting from Dark Winds. But in this world, you can’t separate a man’s spiritual crisis from his daily battles. So if you think about it, it makes sense that Dark Winds has dedicated the entire 6th episode of the third season to a very unavoidable journey for Leaphorn. That’s what all these signs and symbolisms have been leading to so far. Leaphorn needed to look within himself to find the answers that the medicine woman withheld from him. But she did that for the right reasons. Only Leaphorn could navigate the foggy memories that had defined the man he ended up becoming. So while it’s not a comfortable experience, it’s something that will only help Leaphorn come to terms with his moral transgressions.

Spoiler Alert

Where does Leaphorn go when he’s unconscious?...
