You think you know someone.
You make friends, you fall in love, you might have kids.
You have parents, and maybe siblings.
You build a connection, and its easy to assume that everyone in that connection is a good person.
And then you have a place like Easttown.
Is everyone in Easttown a good person?
Somebody took, or killed, Katie.
Opioids are clearly a problem, and they unfortunately drive people like Beths brother Freddie to crime.
Erins father Kenny is hotheaded and probably was abusive toward his daughter.
Erins boyfriend Dylan is smug and was clearly an asshole to her.
And in her attempts to figure out what happened to Erin and Katie, Mare isnt making many friends.
Shes eyeing up suspects and collecting enemies, and Kate Winslets gruffness remains impressive.
But more of Mares frustration and resentment is the simmering, slow-burning kind that comes along with disappointment.
Mare has no other leads, no other possibilities.
He complained about all the extra costs.
He didnt let her borrow his truck.
I dont think Kenny killed his daughter, but Im not sure he was a good father, either.
Was Dylan a good father?
Im also going to go withnoon that.
Dylan, however, is decidedly unhelpful, and we see him tell lie after lie.
He lies about Brianna being his new girlfriend.
He lies about seeing Erin in the woods.
They dont seem to take any of this very seriously.
Is that because theyre innocent?
Or because theyre smug about a crime they think they can get away with?
What do we say to one another when faced with an unspeakable tragedy?
She might reject the idea of therapy, but man, does Mare need it.
But sometimes a helping hand isnt enough.
Tony still throws that gallon of milk through Mares window, littering her gas-station sub with broken glass.
Did Frank Sheehan attempt to help?
And, if so … how?
A Different Line of Work
Guy Pearce report: This week, he does not get laid.
Lori wearing a vintage Dave Matthews Band T-shirt was a perfect touch.
Carrie wanting custody of Drew is obviously going to come up again down the line.
Note that Mares family knows she hates Carrie, and Carrie also hates Mare.
Im assuming they each blame the other for Kevin killing himself, and thats agonizing, grueling stuff.
But do I think Carrie should have custody of Drew, who is now doing the blinking thing again?
I cant even begin to answer that question.
Re: Mares ten-minute smoke breaks can someone actually vape for ten straight minutes?
That seems like a lot to ask of one pair of lungs.
When did Evan Peters become a grown-up?
Or is it how good he is in a blissfully not-Ryan-Murphy project that has me so surprised?
I hope Winslet submits that scene of Mare arresting Brianna in her familys restaurant for her Emmy reel.
Potentially not the best quality for a detective!
Im assuming Ill be the maid of honor?
was the funniest moment in an otherwise so, so bleak episode.
Where is Erins bike?
