We could confide in each other in ways that we couldn’t confide in other people. “She was having problems at home things between me and Lor weren’t great. “We were both having a hard time,” he appeals to Mare and Chief Carter. It’s pathetic reasoning for adultery and statutory rape, but John says the two of them shared a real bond. Billy wrestles him to the ground before he can pull the trigger, extracts the gun, and Mare swipes it away as Billy admits, “I didn’t do it, Mare.”Ĭut to the station, where John unravels his tale with surprising ease: He and Erin began a “sexual relationship” at the Lake Harmony family reunion, yes. Mare arrives in the nick of time and aims her own gun at John, who, desperate, yanks it up to his temple. “Who’s going to miss a fuck-up like me? You said you got a family, and I’ve got nobody.”
“Everyone thinks I killed her anyway,” Billy scoffs, demanding that John shoot him. She stumbles into the water, where John is holding a gun at Billy, convinced he must kill his brother to ensure the truth doesn’t come out.
In it, Erin sits in bed beside not Billy, but John, the two of them clearly enjoying some post-coital cuddling.Ĭhief Carter asks Jess if Dylan (Jack Mulhern), Erin’s ex-boyfriend, knows that DJ is John’s son. Mere seconds into the finale, the camera finally gives the audience a clear view of the photo. From that encounter, Erin became pregnant with Billy’s son, DJ, and Billy eventually murdered her to keep their affair a secret.īut as “Sacrament” opens and we watch Mare steel herself for a confrontation with the Ross brothers, the scene cuts to the police station, where Jess (Ruby Cruz), Erin’s best friend, has just given Chief Carter (John Douglas Thompson) a game-changing clue: a photograph pulled from one of Erin’s journals. According to Lor, their romance ignited at the Ross family reunion, during which Erin and her father were staying in Billy’s cabin. Last week we watched Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) race to Billy (Robbie Tann) and John Ross’s (Joe Tippett) favorite fishing spot, after learning from Lori Ross (Julianne Nicholson), John’s wife, that Billy and Erin (Cailee Spaeny) were once in an incestuous relationship. But first, we needed to walk through the events of the tumultuous episode 7, “Sacrament.” Let's dive in. Prior to the finale airing, met with Inglesby to learn how and why he decided on this shocking turn of events. “It spoke to the show in a way that I felt was really organic,” he explained. There’s inherent shock value in making your killer a kid, à la Sharp Objects, but Mare of Easttown writer and creator Brad Inglesby says he was going for something less grimy when he landed on Ryan Ross as culprit. We know Erin McMenamin’s murderer, and he’s not an abusive father, a disgraced deacon, a cruel ex-boyfriend, or even an alcoholic first cousin once removed. After spending the past six weeks debating the hundreds of theories that circulated after each episode of the HBO detective drama aired, we finally have an answer. īy the time Mare of Easttown’s season finale draws to its much-anticipated close, you’d be hard-pressed not to admit the saga needed to end this way.
Warning: spoilers for the finale of Mare of Easttown ahead.
