Then there are the quiet moments as Lori resigns to her new life-when John asks her to raise DJ as her own, when she takes DJ to get his ear surgery-emotionally flattened by the series of tragic events and with no other recourse but to morosely soldier on. And I would have taken that to my grave if you didnвЂ™t show up at the house today.вЂќ She breaks down in her car, screaming at Mare in disbelief, вЂњMy Ryan!вЂќ as she tries to console her, like a mother lionвЂ™s pained roar. ThereвЂ™s the almost mafioso way she hisses at Mare in the interrogation room, practically shooting venom as she justified, вЂњI agreed to lie to protect my son.

ThereвЂ™s her reaction to Ryan storming into the house screaming, вЂњItвЂ™s Mare! She knows!,вЂќ fired off like gunshots to the heart as Lori hurriedly envelopes him in her arms, inconsolable over the boyвЂ™s certain fate.

That leads to a series of what may rank as some of the most heartbreaking TV scenes of the year, all at the hand of NicholsonвЂ™s acting, a steely face trembling over an open wound. He meant to just scare her into leaving his family alone, but things got out of hand and he accidentally killed her. But, in the kind of last-act twist that has your jaw successively dropping until it crashes through the floor, it turns out that Lori and John were covering for their young son, Ryan (Cameron).ДЄfter learning of John and ErinвЂ™s affair, Ryan stole a gun from a neighbor-the same neighbor who reported the вЂњferret stalkerвЂќ in the showвЂ™s premiere (full circle!)-and confronted Erin. Other characters include MareвЂ™s best friend since childhood, Lori Ross (Nicholson) Richard Ryan (Pearce), a local creative writing professor Erin McMenamin (Spaeny), an isolated teen living with her volatile father Chief Carter (Thompson), MareвЂ™s boss at the Easttown Police Department Kenny McMenamin (Murney), ErinвЂ™s father Deacon Mark Burton (McArdle) Carrie Layden (Bacon), DrewвЂ™s mother and KevinвЂ™s ex-girlfriend John Ross (Tippett), LoriвЂ™s husband and high school sweetheart and MareвЂ™s cousin, Father Dan Hastings (Huff).First, it appears that NicholsonвЂ™s character Lori Ross, best friend of Kate WinsletвЂ™s titular detective Mare, shoulders the burden of the revelation that her husband, John Ross (Joe Tippett), is the father of ErinвЂ™s baby, DJ, and the one who killed her. Meanwhile, MareвЂ™s ex-husband, Frank (Denman), has bought the house behind her home in an attempt to have a friendly divorce and is now engaged to his new girlfriend. Mare also tries to convince her daughter, Siobhan (Rice), to chase her dreams so she can get out of Easttown one day. SheвЂ™s trying to raise her grandson with the help of her own mother, Helen (Smart). Mare is still feeling the repercussions of her broken marriage which followed her sonвЂ™s suicide. Mare finds herself paired up with a young hotshot detective - Colin Zabel (Peters) - sent by the county to assist on the case.
