Play Happy Valley Bingo!
Key Events
That's that
Nice parallel with the end of series one, only the whole family are on the walk, instead of just Catherine.
But instead of looking relieved, content, like she was at the end of series one, she looks worried. About Ryan. To be continued…
Does Catherine want to tell Ryan everything?
It’s playing on her mind… but how could she even begin?
Alyion had a secret.
And god, what an awful one. Simultaneously Daryl’s mother and sister after being abused by her dad. It explains the slight tension in their relationship, looking back.
Oh god the letter
I’d forgotten about Ryan’s little letter writing secret. This is bad. He has his address now… surely he isn’t daft enough to write back?
Alison’s still alive.
And looks just as broken as Catherine. Maybe that’s why Catherine visited - one grieving mother to another. She’s a caring soul.
Tommy’s got a collection.
Three other fiancees! He has been busy. Poor Frances. I think Catherine was genuine in her visit - she just wants to help the poor cow leave him.
Tommy’s been cut off
And of course he goes absolutely mental.Who will he manipulate now?
Bit satisfying though.
Catherine looks broken
“What a sh*t week!”
You tell it sister. Poor Catherine, she’s waltzed straight into the middle of every bit of drama in this finale.
OH WHAT
Just when I thought Catherine was talking him down, bang, off the wall John goes onto a van bonnet. That poor driver. So John’s gone. I never thought he’d do it.
John can negotiate with himself
And is now telling Catherine how to talk him down… Happy Valley is a masterclass in dark comedy.
He's on the wall!
Is this really how it’s going to end?
“You’re just going to break your legs and make a mess.”
And of course it’s right opposite the police station…
"Do not follow!"
C’mon, Mike, do you know who you’re talking to?
Of course Catherine is going to chase him. It wouldn’t be Happy Valley if she didn;t.
Go on Catherine!
Where on earth is John going to go?
He’s legging it!
Oh god, now they know he’s guilty... And of course Catherine’s the one to chase him. Where on earth are you going to go Wadsworth?
It’s Amanda’s Graham!
Graham from Mirfield, come on down! And he and Amanda have joined the dots about John and Vicky...
No flies on Ann
She has to become a detective. She’s never forgets anything, does she?
‘It might be relevant.’ It’s absolutely chuffing relevant!’
The net’s closing in…
Two witnesses, potential CCTV...the music’s cranking up again and John looks like he’s about to have a stroke. Will someone answer that phone?!
