OK, now that we've seen the finale in its entirety, it makes a little more sense.
(Spoilers ahead!)
Detective Carver is (sort of) reconciled with his daughter. He's going to get the surgery he needs.
Detective Miller's son, Tom, was the one who killed Danny, but it was accidental. Her husband, Joe, took the fall because he wants to protect Tom, who actually killed Danny. But Tom was trying to protect Danny from Tom, who is a pedophile. Danny just got in the way when Tom was swinging the oar at his father.
In a weird sense, justice was done. If Joe Miller (the dad) hadn't been pursuing Danny, none of it would've happened. Joe feels responsible, so he's going to pay for the crime of being a pedophile even though he wasn't the one who actually killed Danny.
And it wasn't the look that passed between father and son in the interview clip that revealed the truth to Detective Carver; it was the admission by Tom that "nobody else" had hit him. Only Tom.
Detective Miller is leaving town. She cannot live there anymore, even though all her friends are there. She feels responsible because, as Beth said, how could she not have known her own husband was a pedophile?
So she didn't answer the call from Detective Carver because she knows her husband didn't kill Danny. She didn't want to hear his suspicions that Tom was the one. Because she's going to protect her son, no matter what. And she has agreed with Joe that the truth will never be told.
Danny, of course, will have to live with the fact that he killed his friend. And that his own father is a pedophile who was trying to develop a relationship with his friend. That's a horrible combination of guilt, disgust, and jealousy.
That kid is going to need some serious therapy.
