To borrow a phrase from Grey’s Anatomy, Lori is Mare’s person, but loyalty is not inflexible.
#Mare of easttown finale professional#
I wrote about how the personal and professional are entwined and this is a factor that is emphasized in the Mare of Easttown finale, which pits Mare against best friend Lori (Julianne Nicholson). Motherhood has been a thematic point all season, but the penultimate episode “Sore Must Be the Storm” shifted this into focus. Sure, his family has been destroyed but something about this conclusion feels too simple.
Tying a neat bow on this whole sad story, John confesses to the crime and explains that after Erin accidentally shot herself, he finished the job before calling Billy (Robbie Tann) to help move the body. It gets a little dicey, but unlike the last time a suspect pulled a gun, no one is physically hurt. Rather than waiting for backup, Mare comes upon the Ross brother’s fishing excursion aka John Ross attempting to kill his brother in order to protect his family. The person who pulled the trigger is also the baby daddy and the photo Jess (Ruby Cruz) took from her best friend’s journal shows Erin with John Ross (Joe Tippett). Rather, cyclical trauma is the culprit, and the Mare of Easttown finale confronts this deep-rooted generational pattern head-on.Īfter weeks of theorizing and a dramatic end to the penultimate episode, “Sacrament” quickly wraps who killed Erin - or so writer Brad Inglesby would like the audience to believe. Cops with a dysfunctional home life are a cornerstone of this genre, but the fractures in Mare Sheehan’s (Winslet) family are not a consequence of her work.
The Kate Winslet-led crime drama is within a familiar prestige whodunit framework but one that places family at its heart.
The Mare of Easttown finale took us to church (literally) during a final episode that gave equal weighting to community and motherhood as it did to the conclusion of Erin McMenamin’s (Cailee Spaeny) murder.
