In one of the sequences, when Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) enters the evidence room in the Ennis police department to go through Clark's stuff, we can't help but notice a big old box labeled 'Meth’.

The box has been positioned in such a way that your eyes are fixated on it for a brief moment.

While no verbal emphasis was laid on the meth box, we wonder if it is related to Season 1 antagonist Reggie Ledoux (Charles Halford), who was a meth peddler.
