Billy seemed to be okay with this plan until he realized John was afraid he might not stick to it and was prepared to make him the fall guy and then shoot him to make sure he didn't reveal the truth. As the brothers later discussed, the thinking was that John had a family and Billy had no one, so if somebody was to take the fall, it should be Billy and not John. When you saw Billy telling John he killed Erin, what you actually were seeing was Billy committing to the lie they had agreed on to protect Ryan. So Billy said it was him, but it wasn't and he knew it wasn't?Ĭorrect. When they learned what had happened, John and his brother Billy (Robbie Tann) covered it up, from moving Erin's body in hopes of framing one of the kids from the party all the way to Billy agreeing to take the fall and John being (nearly) prepared to kill him to make sure he didn't back out. He claimed that he had only meant to scare her. Carroll (who figured into the mystery after all!), went to the park, and killed Erin. When he learned that Erin was asking John for help and threatening to tell the truth, Ryan posed as his father via text, arranged to meet with her, stole a gun from Mr. And largely because John had already had one affair that nearly led his parents to divorce, Ryan feared that this fact would break up his family. Ryan had discovered that his father, John (Joe Tippett), was also the father of Erin's baby.
MARE OF EASTTOWN FINALE SERIES
Indeed, the central mystery of the series - who killed Erin McMenamin? - had an answer that matched a theory that had been laid out with impressive accuracy in some circles, even if some of them had then (understandably) dismissed it.įor in the end - and really, truly, this is your chance to tag out before we begin discussing the ending - the answer was that young Ryan Ross (Cameron Mann), the son of Mare's (Kate Winslet) best friend Lori (Julianne Nicholson), killed Erin. Let's get right to it and talk about some questions that were answered in the Mare finale. There were only so many characters, and it (fortunately) didn't seem like the kind of show that would pull in a random new murderer at the end, just for the sake of making sure none of the online guesses had been right. There was so much speculation about the mysteries of HBO's Mare of Easttown that it seemed like no matter what the ending was, it would be something that someone guessed at some point.
You absolutely should not read it if you don't want to know what happened, as that's what it's about.
This is a discussion of the final episode of this season of Mare of Easttown. Kate Winslet as Mare on Mare of Easttown.
