Be warned: Major spoilers forSore Must Be the Storm,episode six ofMare of Easttown, lie ahead.
Do we even need this column after the penultimate episode ofMare of Easttown?
Its hard to know how to read the moment when Billy spots the pistol in the tackle box.
Did he pack it?
What does it all mean?
Freddie Hanlon (Dominique Johnson): 75,000 to 1 (Last week: 250 to 1)R.I.P.
Freddie, one of the most tragic figures in a tragedy-prone part of the world.
But theyre probably right.
Dawn, for instance, mostly seems grateful to have her daughter back.
DJ Anne Harris is largely focused on mercy killing her relationship with Siobhan for Siobhans own good.
Barring a twist that practically splits the fabric of space-time, there are no killers here.
She really ought to consider getting out of Easttown before it crushes her.
(Sounds about right, apologies to all the Sandras out there.)
Beyond that, we dont know anything about her.
Sandra sounds like a troublemaker, but not that kind of troublemaker.
Hopefully shell change her life, but shes an unlikely murderer.
Of the two, Frank seems less likely to have killed her, but we cant rule him out.
Is it fair to lump Faye in with him?
Probably not, but what do wereallyknow about her?
But consider this: Shes not exactly eager to volunteer to Mare that Erin was at the family reunion.
Mare has to press to get that info.
That hes DJs father.
That Erin started threatening to tell everyone and that the relationship started at the reunion.
That Billy shot Erin.
Heres the thing, though: Yes, Billy confessed to killing Erin.
Yes, Pop Ross saw him washing bloody clothes.
But those other details: This is the first time were hearing them from anyone.
Did Lori learn them between scenes, or is she creating a plausible story for Mare?
Somethings not right in the house of Ross.
But whatwerethey trying to cover up?
Still, Dylan looks guilty in about six different ways.
Billy Ross (Robbie Tann): 2 to 1 (Last week: 5 to 1)Motive?
Sobbing admission of guilt?
Billyhasto be the odds-on favorite.
Except that just feels too obvious, doesnt it?
