![]() Are we in a Nancy Meyers movie? Maybe, if Mare and Richard's goodbye before he drives off into the distance is anything to go by. Things get even more conciliatory as Richard and Mare dance at Faye and Frank's wedding, where Mare says she's "having as much fun as you can at your ex husband's wedding". We enter a little montage of end-tying moments where we see Katie Bailey getting a new home, Jess coming to terms with Erin's death, and Carrie admitting she's checking back into rehab and giving up on the custody battle over Drew. The Phoebe Bridgers edible marathon seems to have done wonders for Siobhan's communication skills. Things seem to have softened in the Sheehan house, and Mare shares some warm moments with both Helen and Siobhan, with her daughter kindly telling her that Easttown is "a better place because you're here". ![]() ![]() ![]() In brighter news, Helen's drunk! It feels only right that we are saying goodbye to Easttown with footage of its best resident chugging Manhattans and falling onto the bin. At least she doesn't see the subsequent Easter egg that DJ's name is Dylan John, which feels like something that should have been picked up on?!! On discovering that John evaded her investigation thanks to using burner phones and making sure he had an alibi on the night, Mare looks pissed. John walks us through how he and Erin begun a relationship, including some extremely icky justifications for having sex with a teenager, saying they had a connection and "could confide in each other". After failing to gun down his brother and brawling in the river with Mare, John is taken in and confesses to accidentally killing Erin. The scrap of paper which Jess stowed away is now a much larger colour photograph of Erin in bed with John at the Ross family reunion. There was something about the way the figure kept emerging that needed further investigation, and the fact it wasn't taken seriously felt like more than a sad footnote in this town which cares so little for women.Īllow us to rewind to talk through how we got to this shocking revelation, to the start of the finale where we quickly (a little too quickly, if we're honest) learn that in fact John is DJ's father. The pair got into a scuffle, and Erin was killed.Well, we hate to say we told you so (yes, we have receipts), but the prowler really was the key to who killed Erin all along. John had previously had another affair that had nearly split his parents up, and so when Ryan found out his dad was cheating again, he tried to warn Erin off with the gun. After Mare pays him a visit at his school and he runs away, she knows that Ryan killed Erin.Įxactly why he did this is revealed in his interrogation. That boy? Ryan Ross (Cameron Mann), the son of John and Lori. Asking Glen who had access to this shed, he says only one other person did, the boy who mowed his lawn. Mare has inadvertently found the murder weapon. Going into the shed where he keeps his weapon, she discovers that it is an old police-issued Colt-exactly the same kind of weapon that killed Erin. However, he mentions offhand that his gun went missing for a while, and Mare humors him by finding out more about it. When Glen starts to tell her that things keep going missing from his house, she puts it down to him being a lonely and slightly confused old man not used to doing the kind of chores he now has to take on since his wife died. The second half of the finale kicks off with Mare making a police visit to Glen (Patrick McDade), the man who revealed at his wife's funeral earlier in Mare of Easttown that he had had an affair with Mare's mom Helen (Jean Smart). Just as things seem to be coming to a close, however, the episode is only at its halfway point, and the case of Erin's murder is blown wide open. MARE OF EASTTOWN EPISODE 7 FULLSure, Mare keeps watching John's confession as his statement on what kind of gun he shot Erin with does not seem to make full sense, but the show seems to be at its end, with Mare given a happy ending finally. Not only that, but Mare gets to keep custody of grandson Drew (Izzy King) after his mother checks into rehab. We see Mare at the wedding of ex-husband Frank (David Denman), where writer Richard ( Guy Pearce) is her date, suggesting she is ready to move on with her life and embrace love. The episode then sees John go to prison, and things seem to be reaching a conclusion. ![]() He then panicked and shot her in the face, or so he claimed. John said he tried to wrestle it off her, and in doing so, shot her in the hand. Under interrogation, John revealed to Mare that he and Erin had had a heated confrontation over her son DJ's ear surgery, which led to her brandishing a gun. Erin's killer was revealed in Episode 7 of "Mare of Easttown." HBO ![]()
