Terms from Pope than can/could be applied to S-Town Episode 3:
Starting in episode 3, they begin "decentering" a ton and trying to find clues as to which why John B. kills himself now, asking others about this protagonist to see what was really going on away from the main light of John. They act in retrospect, finding the gaps and silences within John's own speech to see what could have led him to his suicide. Brian begins viewing things John sent/said in a new lens now that he has passed, instead of writing them off as being "such a John thing to say," they are now recognized as signs. Apart from the main narrative, Jimmy has his own idiolect that formed after being shot in the head.
