And thinking more and more about the tie to Season 1, gosh it feels forced. Rust's dad Spiral Symbol Tuttles being in multiple industries (never came up in Season 1) So by happenstance, Rust's dad lives 2k miles away, where the Tuttles happen to have ties, and the symbol is.

There’s a lot that still needs to be spoken to in order to take it from fan service to an actual salient plot. But we do know Rust and his dad lived in Alaska for a time and in S1 it was referenced that in the 8 years after the shootout with Ledoux and Dewall, Rust made some trips back home. All to say, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Rust makes a cameo later this season or that the cult was already in Alaska and he and his dad just followed it there. But the story has to actually choose to go that direction and explain it as such.
