[This story contains spoilers for the finale of HBO’s Mare of Easttown.] The finale of Mare of Easttown served up another big twist in its central mystery — and didn’t make the audience…
Mare is unable to leave the case alone, and a chance visit to Mr. Carroll reveals the final link in the case: His gun, the same kind used to kill Erin, went missing and was later returned to the locked shed where he keeps it. The only other person who had access was Ryan Ross , Lori and John’s middle schooler son.
The revelation, and Ryan’s subsequent confession, still comes a little more than halfway through the finale, a decision creator Brad Ingelsby made so that the close of the series can focus on Mare and Lori, and how Mare’s continued pursuit of the case after John’s confession fractures their friendship.
“It’s her best friend’s son, and this is completely devastating with Mare being the one to arrest him and solve the case, and what that means for her relationship with Lori,” Ingelsby toldThe time after Ryan’s confession, however, allows for a possible repair in their friendship, which Ingelsby said is the spine of the series: “That was interesting to me, that it would start and end with Mare and Lori. That was really a guide for me.
