We’ve cycled through suspects that left us feeling cold, including most of the men Erin should have been able to trust, but the identity of her killer is even more upsetting than anyone the show’s named so far. Ryan Ross, Lori and John’s young son, murdered Erin McMenamin. The night he killed her, Ryan witnessed John take an angry phone call and de...
DJ’s father is John Ross and, according to him, it was a real — not “just sex” — relationship between him and his teenage niece. They started hanging out at the family reunion. When Erin got pregnant, John wanted her to get an abortion, but she refused. She was already dating Dylan Hinchey, so they let him believe he was the father. Turns out that ...
Well, a few threads started fraying at once. Mare confronts Sandra — the woman John had supposedly reignited his affair with — who convincingly denies seeing him again. Then, John’s memory seems a bit too hazy on the details of the gun, which Ryan returned to Mr. Carroll’s shed before asking his father for help cleaning up the murder scene. But rea...
Burning Erin’s journals was Jess’s idea. She was afraid the cops might find out the real identity of DJ’s father and knew her friend wouldn’t want DJ removed from the Hincheys’ care. She teamed up with Dylan, because he thought it would break his parents’ hearts to lose their grandson. Their adolescent hearts were in the right place.
Just loving and leaving Mare Sheehan. He’s heading to Bates College on a year’s teaching contract — #adjunctlife. Ever the charmer, Mare tells him she’s never even heard of Bates. They plan to keep in touch.
This easily could have been missed by a lesser show, but Ingelsby has an unrelenting eye for detail. Beth Hanlon & Co. do up her brother Freddie’s house so Katie can live there with her daughter. In a particularly deft touch, Dawn’s hair is regrowing, wordlessly suggesting that her cancer is in remission. This show is a master class in the little t...
Maybe the best ever. Mare retains custody of Drew. It’s what’s best for him, though still sad. Carrie started using to stay awake through her night shifts and visitations with her son; now, she’s back in rehab. Faye and Frank get married. Mare and Siobhan have an actual conversation and she encourages her daughter to go to Cal Berkeley; there are f...
John has the audacity to ask Lori to raise DJ and give him a good life. It’s crazy how many ways his infidelities have found to destroy her. Sure, the Rosses were considering taking DJ in when Kenny asked — which, chew on this, means John was literally considering adopting his own son and raising his own son as ifhe was his own son — but obviously ...
