You know sometimes I do wonder if Wayne Munson had a moment of doubt.
This man is a saint from what we can tell from the few minutes he had of screen time, but right when he walked into that trailer and saw Chrissy, don’t you think for at least a moment, he believed Eddie had done something.
I’m not saying he wanted to believe it or even that he believed it for more than a quick second, but there had to be that voice in his head asking himself why the hell Eddie would run if he didn’t do it.
It fades quickly, and he defends his boy to everyone: the cops, the public, whoever he has to.
But then the guilt settles in because he realizes that something bigger is going on. He doesn’t know what, he doesn’t really care what, he just knows that Eddie didn’t do a damn thing wrong. But he thinks about that first moment constantly. That one single moment where he let himself think that Eddie maybe was who everyone in town thought he was.
