Mare of easttown episode 7 synopsis11/5/2023 ![]() After being kicked out of the family home because of his affair, John (Joe Tippett) moves back in with his increasingly abrasive brother Billy and their dad, Pat (Gordon Clapp). Kenny can’t remember anything out of the ordinary, but he does confirm that he and Erin stayed in a cabin with cousin Billy (Robbie Tann).Īs is now standard with this show, it doesn’t waste time following up, as it becomes rapidly clear that Billy was somehow involved in the murder. She wants to know if anything suspicious happened that weekend. But Mare is more interested in the Lake Harmony reunion because the date it took place matches the inscribed date on Erin’s heart necklace. Kenny (Patrick Murney) reveals that he let Freddie take some of Erin’s stuff to give to his own daughter, as Freddie didn’t have money to buy her a birthday present. Plus, the actress opens up about learning the Delco accent for the HBO series. But it’s something that Mare finds in Freddie’s house that is important, a trash bag full of Erin’s old clothes, with a shirt labeled “Lake Harmony Family Reunion.” It begins when Mare finds Beth’s (Chinasa Ogbuagu) brother Freddie (Dominique Johnson) dead from an overdose (continuing the show’s theme of opioid addiction). But before the family can rebuild, there is work to be done in solving the Erin case, and pieces are starting to come together. When there is a chance that she could lose someone close to her, she spins out of control, gets drunk, and ends up screaming at her mom that she should have been the one to find Kevin, not her.Īs heart-wrenching as the moment is, it’s probably cathartic for Mare and Siobhan to let those emotions out, as it helps jumpstart the grieving process. It’s possessive behavior but also somewhat understandable given Siobhan’s past. She has this persistent fear of losing a loved one it’s why she’s so reluctant to move away for college and why she flips out when her new girlfriend stops answering her texts. Ignoring the issue only made matters worse, especially for Siobhan, who has been carrying the burden of finding her brother’s body. She shut herself off just like she shut off the attic, refusing to ever go back to that dark place. ![]() It’s a trauma the family has never truly dealt with because Mare refuses to talk about it. Siobhan was the one that found him hanging from the rafters in the attic. Taking this insight on board, Mare finally opens up and walks her therapist through the day Kevin died, about how she told her daughter Siobhan ( Angourie Rice) to go home and check on him after a neighbor caught him sneaking into the house. But with Colin’s death and the Erin (Cailee Spaeny) murder case still hanging over her head, she isn’t in the right headspace for warm nights filled with flirting and cheesesteaks. Mare can’t do the relationship thing right now, and Richard understands he’s okay with waiting for whenever Mare is ready. “I gotta get my s**t together,” she tells Richard ( Guy Pearce) when he pops over to the house with a thoughtfully arranged gift basket of cold beer and hoagies. But with that comes expectation, which Mare struggles with. Even Brianna’s (Mackenzie Lansing) dad apologizes for being a bit of an idiot. Everybody is grateful, especially Dawn (Enid Graham), who hugs and thanks Mare for bringing Katie home. There is some triumph alongside the tragedy: The missing girls were returned home, and it was Mare’s dogged determination that led to them being found. ![]() While Colin’s mother might hate Mare’s guts, it’s a different story around Easttown. Plus, how Mare’s coping following a tense situation, suspicions about Deacon Mark, Billy, and more. With this, Mare returns home and finally snaps, her usually steely demeanor cracking as she cries in her mom’s ( Jean Smart) arms (a scene echoed later in the episode by Mare and her own daughter). All Mare gets for her trouble is a slap across the face and a heaping helping of blame for Colin’s death. Mare tries to do right (and rid herself of guilt) by visiting Colin’s mother and telling her how great a detective her son was. ![]() After all, she was the one that led him to the kidnapper’s house, despite being on suspension. At the same time, there are monumental breakthroughs in the murder investigation that sets up what promises to be a tense and riveting finale.Ĭolin’s ( Evan Peters) death weighs heavily on Mare, who is reinstated to the Easttown Police Department. It’s an episode that sees Mare ( Kate Winslet) finally reach her breaking point as the emotions of the case cause unresolved grief to rise to the surface. The penultimate episode of Mare of Easttown can best be summed up as an hour of breakthroughs and breakdowns.
