What are the Rosses hiding?
Let us go over it for both brothers.
Re: Billy, weve seen that hes looked increasingly haggard over the past few weeks.
He acted all weird during the discussion of how long Erin stayed with him.
Oh, and hes drinking a lot.
So: Billy Ross, clearly anguished, and, I think, probably did kill Erin.
I can believe that admission.
But: Is Billy DJs biological father?
This is where I think no, and this is where I turn toward John Ross.
Not who did whatever with Erin, and not thatBilly specificallydid something with Erin.
He forces Billy to confess to killing Erin, but not to statutory rape and impregnation of Erin.
That feels like a significant point that is left out!
And also keep in mind that everything Lori knows about what happened to Erin, John told her.
John told her that Billy was with Erin.
John told her that Billy fathered DJ.
John told her that Billy killed Erin.
I think thats a serious possibility!
I am sticking with this theory!
Billy says to John, Nothings the matter with me.
You made a mess of your life because you couldnt keep your dick in your fucking pants.
Now you clean it up.
I think whatever is happening here is long-ingrained, and long-simmering.
And yet, I really have no idea at all what Dylan, Sean, and Jess did.
Butwhat did they do?
(Why didnt Erin take the bike with her?)
Show us the picture that Jess took from Dylans journals, dammit!
That cliffhanger is driving me crazy!
What did she really expect when she went to see Colins mother?
That admonishment is a reality check for Mare.
She admits I gotta get my shit together.
She lets Drew go with Carrie for their first sleepover.
She accepts that hug from Dawn.
She has a conversation with Frank that doesnt end in a fight.
This has to be the scene Winslet submits for Emmy consideration, right?
He was so heavy made me tear up.
And coupled with the small-town claustrophobia of Easttown and with the omnipresent opioid epidemic, that unhappiness only calcifies.
Mare finds Freddies body, dead from an overdose, and has to break the news to Beth.
Kennys abuse of Erin was an open secret in the Ross family.
John and Billy both knew about whatever happened between either of them at the reunion with Erin.
And then John tries to cajole Lori into keeping all of this a secret from Mare.
How rich of this man to say, Can you do that for our family?
Erin was being abused.
She was not in a relationship with whoever was abusing her, and Lori should have known better.
But maybe its impossible for people to change.
For Colin and for herself.
Maybe Brianna will grow into a better adult?
Im 52 years old and Im living in Easttown, so Id say your odds are pretty good.
That seems like enough.
It feels like Richard was at the top of a lot of Who killed Erin?
I bang out this hoping that I am not totally disproved in the finale!)
If Drew drowned in that bathtub, I really would have thrown something at my TV.
Just go back into your building!
And all of my sympathies toward Siobhan, too.
Angourie Rices delivery of It should have been you, not me was very pained and very good.
