Plus with all of the therapist talks surrounding mental illness being hereditary, it would be wild if Siobhan has the same rage as Kevin and killed Erin in the woods and if she’s the one resourceful enough to actually get out of the town. The scene with Frank saying they never check up on her feels very telling to me. We’ll see if she makes it out or one wrong thing- something fundamental to the sinking hole- pulls her in and she gets sucked in like everyone else. I feel like even though her plot feels very separate from the show, she represents someone climbing out of the town while everyone else is getting stuck in cycles of abuses. Siobhan finished her college apps and has a future of something better (not to mention both of their reactions toward Erin are juxtaposed in the woods). Brianna’s chances of a future have been torpedoed by her actions and she becomes yet another person stuck in Easttown. The town is a sinking hole that pulls everyone in. This story originally appeared on Decider and has been reproduced here with permission.You joke but I feel like the scene with Brianna this episode put Siobhan’s storyline in perspective.
#Mare of easttown episode 6 reddit series#
We’ll have to tune in next week to the extra-long series finale to find out!

Obviously Mare of Easttown has at least one major twist yet to throw us. (She mistakenly thought it was Mare’s ex-husband’s child.) Why would the teens who knew Erin best need to destroy her inner-most thoughts? What is written on the page Jess saved? And why was whatever was written in Erin’s journals dangerous enough for Dylan to threaten to kill Jess (if she exposed it)? And could it be tied to the Ross brothers? After all, Jess knew that DJ was probably not Dylan’s. However, the sweet girl decided to save one important passage. Jess originally lied to Mare about the journals’ locations - which only led her to the necklace that one of her Ross cousins bought - and later helped destroy most of them. We don’t yet know what was in Erin’s diaries, but we do know that whatever it was, her “friends” decided it had to be destroyed. The Erin McMenamin case seems closed by the end of Mare of Easttown episode 6, but something Jess shows the Chief shocks him enough to yell that they need to get Mare on the phone now. RELATED: What you need to know about Mare of Easttown’s breakout star What role do Erin's diaries play in the mystery? What is the secret in Erin’s journals on Mare of Easttown? This is all conjecture and the only reason we are double-guessing Billy’s confession has to do with whatever it was that Jess showed Chief Carter was written in Erin’s diaries… Could it be that he was carrying on an affair with Erin? That Billy helped him kill the girl and was in charge of getting rid of the bloody clothes? That John is manipulating his brother into taking the fall? After all, the necklace she received was purchased by someone simply named “Ross.” That doesn’t prove it was Billy or John.įurthermore, John has a habit of lying and living a double life. While the presumption is that Billy raped Erin, it could have been John. He says, “I’m going to need to hear you say it…” And then Billy tearfully confesses to him that he killed Erin.Īlso suspicious? We only know that something happened during the Ross family reunion a few years back. When John confronts the upset Billy about the murder, he sort of coaches him into saying he killed Erin. The second? The weird way in which John Ross seemed to be speaking on behalf of his brother throughout the episode. The first has to do with whatever Jess revealed was in Erin’s journals…which we’ll get to soon. There are two reasons why we think it’s possible Billy Ross is being set up for Erin’s murder. So what was in Erin’s journals? Why is it a game-changer? And could it be that Billy didn’t kill Erin after all on Mare of Easttown? With only one episode of Mare of Easttown left, we have a lot of questions…ĭid Billy Ross really kill Erin McMenamin? The teen girl finally shares that she helped Dylan burn Erin’s journals, but not without saving one incriminating passage.

However, is it possible that Billy isn’t the killer at all? After Mare hangs up her phone on boss Chief Carter (John Douglas Thompson), the elder officer is given a tip from Erin’s best friend Jess (Ruby Cruz). Billy has a gun in his tackle box, foreshadowing a violent showdown in the Mare of Easttown finale. But could it be John By Christian Abbott 15:23, Tue. The end of Mare of Easttown episode 6, which streams locally on BINGE from today, follows Mare as she follows John and Billy to a cabin where they’ve gone fishing once last time before Billy officially confesses to the authorities. MARE OF EASTTOWN is back for episode six tonight on HBO as fans continue to theorise the identity of the series' killer. RELATED: Mare of Easttown is a confident, character-driven drama
