Stolen from elsewhere:

Roland looks insanely betrayed by Tom in the interrogation room when they think Tom might actually be the killer. That ****ing scowl is menacing as hell.

-While interrogating Tom at the beginning of the episode, Wayne asks Tom again about where he was the night of the incident. Tom panics and says something along the lines of “You know where I...” then trails off. He’s looking right at Roland when he says this.

-Roland desperately wants to “clear Tom” of any involvement.

-When Hays wants to follow up on Tom being gay, he mentions going to gay clubs and that Devil’s Den was a “homo cruisin’ spot”. West replies to this by telling Hays to “**** off”.

-2015 Roland is a bitter old man who lives alone. A far cry from how we see Roland (and his home) in 1980 and 1990.

- When Henry drives Wayne out to see him. Roland asks him if Wayne “remembers why I’m still pissed at him.” Wayne may possibly out in him in 1990 inadvertently.

- Roland bristles at Wayne’s repeated use of prison rape as a threat in interrogations. He makes sure to voice his displeasure to this each time.
