Rest in peace, Colin Zabel, hero detective.
I really did not see that coming!
In hindsight, maybe the indicators were there for Colins exit.
His How do you know what I want?
And I think his murder will weigh on her for a long time.
How could it not?
She steered the investigation, although officially suspended.
She went into Wayne Pottss (Jeb Kreager) house, knowing that she didnt have a gun.
But why not disengage from the house, keep eyes on it, and immediately call for backup?
Why not ease up, instead of further instigate?
On the flip side, though, Katie and Missy were there, and they needed help.
The banging of that pipe was impossible to ignore, orpretendto ignore.
Theres no good choice here.
Before Illusions takes us to Bennies Tavern, the episode wanders through small-town life in Easttown.
Erins death and Katies and Missys disappearances arent forgotten, but the reality is that life goes on.
Other than that, though, time moves forward, for better and for worse.
Frank, meanwhile, is on rocky ground with Faye, who fails to check out their wedding venue.
Will Lori really want to take in DJ, per Kennys request, on her own?
Wont the Hinchey parents be devastated by that?
Im sincerely hoping that other kid got suspended too becausejeez, did he suck.
I dont think so.
Im leaning more and more toward the obvious suspect from the beginning: Dylan.
Kate Winslet did a very good Mare is thinking so hard!
face during this scene, and I mirrored it on my own couch!
But in reality: Mare doesnt have anything on Billy, and we dont, either.
What could have made Erin hysterical enough that she would derail going home?
Was Jess deceiving Erin while she was alive, too, by pretending to be her friend?
Was Dylan dating Brianna just for a cover story?
How much dishonesty is going down here?
And what was the picture that Jess pocketed from one of Erins journals?
Before Colins death, though, he and Mare click together as a cohesive investigative partnership.
Mare stands alone, and it seems like a lonely place to be.
Cause then people expect that from you, all the time.
What they dont realize is youre just as screwed up as they are.
Another reason I think Deacon Mark might be innocent: the way Erin wrote about him in her journal.
Deacon Mark says I am too thinky.
He is really nice but I dont know about God too much.
Nothing too impassioned there, nothing enraged or enamored.
Just a girl writing somewhat blandly but honestly about someone shes trying to trust.
Given all that, the tight grip shes holding on Drew is a little more understandable.
Hey, it pays the rent!
You seem terrible, buddy!
After they die, everyones a saint, Helen says of Mrs. Carroll.
Is that some sort of foreshadowing about Erin?
Is that what Uncle Billy is being so weird about?
Also kudos to Evan Peters, for his two very different line deliveries of Holy shit!
