It’s not often that you get a finale-worthy episode in the middle of a series, but you can’t rule anything out when it comes to Mare Of Easttown.

With two more instalments left to go in the first season of Sky’s new crime drama, the fifth episode of the series saw Kate Winslet’s sullen character solve the mystery of Katie Bailey and Missy Sager’s disappearance – only to have her life turned upside down once more by the shock death of none other than Colin Zabel (Evan Peters).

However, Zabel wasn’t the only character to meet their end in episode five. At the beginning of the episode, we learn that elderly Easttown resident Betty Carroll (you know, the one who has been complaining to Mare about the man lurking around her house since episode one) has died in a car crash after having a heart attack at the wheel.
