One of the many mysteries of True Detective: Night Countryis embodied by one of the cutest and deadliest animals on the planet: the majestic and terrifying polar bear.

In the fictional town of Ennis, Alaska, 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, during "the long night", this enormous pagophilic carnivore turns up again and again. It wanders through town in very real form; it appears in characters' homes in plush toy form; images of it flash at us during the opening credits. While these bears don't have anything to do with their island-dwelling kin in Lost, they strike the same chord of mystery in True Detective.

What's the deal with the polar bears and why are they important to the story? Each week, we tracked the polar bears of Night Country, tracing their appearances to pull this whole thing together with red yarn.

Opening credits bears

In the True Detective: Night Countryopening credits, we see a rocking chair perched on the side of the icy road. A plush polar bear sits on the chair, with a close-up revealing it's missing an eye. Seconds later, a polar bear wanders onto the road, and another close-up shows it, too, is missing an eye. The plush polar bear is clearly important, as it appears later in the credits, floating in icy dark water. And of course, it turns up in the show from the very first episode.

The plush polar bear

In episode 1, Chief Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) is woken up in the middle of the night to a fervent whisper declaring, "She's awake," (the same thing scientist Raymond Clark (Owen McDonnell) says in the Tsalal Arctic Research Facility on the night when it all goes down). The scene comes after what seems to be a memory or a dream for Danvers, involving a child who is later revealed to be her son Holden, who died in a car accident years earlier — we get more fragments of this tragic event through Navarro's visions in the series and Danvers' flashback in the finale. In her dream, his hand touches her shoulder. Bleary-eyed, Danvers finds a plush polar bear toy on the floor in her room. It's missing an eye, and Danvers holds it looking pretty unsettled.

In episode 2, Danvers finds Holden's bear in a box of Christmas decorations, and has a flashback to time spent with him, playing with the bear and listening to The Beatles' "Twist and Shout" (the song that triggers Danvers in episode 1, the one that features in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the film the Tsalal scientists were watching when they disappeared).

In episode 3, when state trooper Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) is out on the ice, she hears an eerie voice singing "Twist and Shout" in the wind. Navarro then sees a child running into the darkness and goes to catch up to them but slips and hits her head. She's transported to a vision of her time served in the military, sitting beside a burned home. A child wearing pyjamas and holding a plush polar bear puts their hand on Navarro's shoulder and whispers, "Tell my mommy." It's clearly Holden.

In episode 4, when Navarro visits Danvers and she drops a box of Christmas decorations on the floor, she sees the plush polar bear toy fall out and remembers her vision. "Is this his? Holden's?" she asks, naming Danvers' child. To demonstrate her cynicism about spirituality and the beyond, Danvers throws the plush bear out in the snow.

In the final episode, Navarro tells Danvers she's seen Holden in her visions. At the end of the episode, when Danvers enters Navarro's empty cabin, she finds Holden's polar bear sitting on the stripped bed — Navarro obviously went and picked it up from Danvers' front yard after she threw it.

The polar bear in the middle of the road

As Navarro investigates leads in town in Ennis in episode 1, she's driving around, calling potential witnesses and contacts, when her phone stops working. A voice whispers the same hissing "she's awake" message Danvers heard in her dream and Navarro hits the brakes. A large polar bear stands in the road, blocking her path and notably missing an eye. Standing its ground with a growl, the bear then retreats. As there are no other witnesses to this bear, it's ambiguous whether Navarro is looking at a real polar pal or not — but then episodes later, Danvers sees the same one-eyed bear.

In episode 4, driving on Christmas Eve, Danvers sees the polar bear standing in the middle of the highway, hitting the brakes to avoid it and plunging her car into a snow drift. The bear prowls over to Danvers' window and stares directly at her, breathing heavily, then moving along. In this scene, the polar bear seems very real.

What do the polar bears mean in True Detective?

The polar bears in True Detective: Night Countryserve primarily to connect Danvers and Navarro on a spiritual level. They're the only two people who encounter the one-eyed polar bear in Ennis, and it's undoubtedly a vision connected to Holden's favourite toy.

Danvers has carried her loss for so long without processing it, and though she's not a spiritual person, she eventually finds relief in Navarro's own experience with death and her connection with the beyond. These beautiful beasts of the Alaskan ice serve to connect these two very different investigators and to help Danvers actually grieve for her son.
