Dark Winds
Joe and Emma Leaphorn seem designate for a interval and divorce inDark Windsseason 3 , but episode 7 made me think that perhaps not all hope is lose – though it still does n’t look in effect for them . Through three seasons of AMC ’s crime thriller , Joe Leaphorn has been an splendid cop and steward of the Navajo Nation , but a mediocre to negligent husband . As much as he loves his wife , Emma , his own price and stubbornness have led to their separation inDark Windsseason 3 .
correctly now , with Emma driving aside atthe end ofDark Windsseason 3 , episode 7 , it does n’t seem as though they have any chance of repair their marriage . It ’s disappointing , because Emma and Joe ’s relationship has often beenDark nothingness ' best character reference dynamic and one of the strongest parts of the show . The most recent episode show once again , however , why Emma is such a great character and a good counterbalance for her hubby – as well as hinting that the doorway for them to reunite may not yet be closed , or at least not close forever .
The Door Is Still Open For Emma & Joe To Reconcile In Dark Winds
Emma Is Never Without Hope
The scene inDark Windsseason 3 , episode 7 where Emma vouched for Joeand lie to Agent Washington about his whereabouts on the nighttime of B.J. Vines ' disappearance was a polar one in the time of year . For starters , it destroyed the only likely evidence Washington had to criminate Joe . But more than that , we in conclusion get a coup d’oeil of how alone and isolated Emma has matt-up thanks to Joe ’s inability to make out with his grief or prioritise his marriage over his work . Even so , it injected a small screw thread of hope that Emma and Joe may one day reconcile and repair their marriage .
The relationship between Emma and Joe is the good part of Dark Winds and their love story the beat heart of the show , which time of year 3 threatens .
As she speaks to Agent Washington , Emma confess the grief she has over fall behind their son , but also her husband . " The trauma of my Word ’s death has consumed my hubby , " she suppose through tear . " It ’s taken all the room in his heart for me . And the memory board of our son and our lifespan together . It ’s left me alone . I blame him for that . For his weakness . I go for one mean solar day I can forgive him . But until that 24-hour interval , I take the air alone . " It ’s a beautiful , heartbreaking voice communication that prove just how naughtily Joe has failed his married woman and his marriage .
" The injury of my son ’s death has take in my husband . It ’s take all the way in his ticker for me . And the store of our son and our life together . It ’s left me alone . I charge him for that . For his weakness . I go for one day I can forgive him . But until that day , I walk alone . "
At the very least , though , Emma ’s hope that she can one mean solar day forgive him is a small step forwards from where she was a few episodes ago , when she told Joe that she just does n’t think she can get past his betrayal or go on living with what he ’s done . Her conversation with Agent Washington in no means betoken that she ’s forgiven her husband , or even that she can . But it shows that she ’s open and willing to let that feeling of pardon come to her if it does , and , considering Emma ’s compassionate and spiritual nature , it ’s not out of the motion to think that one 24-hour interval , she might bump it in her own broken heart to forgive Joe .
Their Reconciliation Likely Won’t Happen Until Dark Winds Season 4 (& May Not At All)
It’s All Up To Joe To Evolve & Repair Things
Still , pardon does n’t necessarily lead to rapprochement . Beforethe whole good deal inDark Windswith B.J. Vines , Joe ’s unfitness to copewith the trauma and grief of his Word ’s end was already an dot eating away at the foot of his man and wife to Emma . Even before J.J. ’s dying , Joe had been married to his job , but before their devastating loss , he supervise to balance his dedication to his problem and the Navajo multitude with his duty as a hubby and sire . With J.J. ’s expiry hack one of Joe ’s strand tethers , he was lost to his grief and passion , pull even further away from Emma .
The truth is , their marriage has slowly been falling apart for years , not because of Emma , but because of Joe . Like any foundation , a marriage take constant upkeep to maintain , and Joe long halt the workplace of maintain his family relationship with Emma . That stand for any rapprochement on their part will depend as much on Joe as Emma , if not even more . Right now , Joe does n’t appear to be a man who is anywhere secretive to process his grief , trauma , and guiltiness in a tidy manner . If anything , his conversation with Gordo at the offset of the installment trace that he ’s already given up on his marriage .
" It ’s what I deserve . You know , there are things that I ’ve lost in life sentence that were take from me , and there are matter that I ’ve lost because of the choice I made . I made mine . She made hers . Ca n’t go back and undo anything , Gordo . "
When he tells Gordo that Emma complain him out , he say , " It ’s what I merit . You live , there are things that I ’ve lose in life that were ask from me , and there are things that I ’ve lost because of the choices I made . I made mine . She made hers . Ca n’t go back and loosen anything , Gordo . " It ’s nonsense , of course , and the look on Gordo ’s face reveals as much . But it ’s how Joe feel at the moment – correctly now , he feel that the loss of his son has been so big , and the slew he ’s made of his marriage so great , that he can never compensate it . It ’s hard to see how that will vary with just one more installment to go inDark Windsseason 3 .

His Stoicism Is His Survival Mechanism
Joe ’s speech is frustrating because he has n’t even tried to fix matter with Emma , and he ’s already waving the white flag and pull a " woe is me " attitude under the pretense of pragmatism .
