This just gets better and better , next Sunday seems a long way away .

Some were saying in here about Catherine dying before she retires. I don't think she will , perhaps she'll kill TLR though . I could be entirely wrong , often am !

As it’s not real life I can say this, but I really hope Rob not Faisal goes down for Joanna’s murder

I think the cops will go to the pharmacy to enquire about the drugs, Faisal will panic thinking it's about Jo's murder. He'll run and Nick the truck from Alison's but fall foul of the clutch and crash into Rob again this time killing both of them.

I don't think the “Am I coming in?” was respect OR sarcasm, I think it was just a general wtf is going on, are you going to say something or what??

That was my interpretation too

Or was it a prison thing - not stepping into another prisoner’s cell without being certain you’re invited?

Maybe Joyce will turn out to be the crime boss of Happy Valley.

Aaaah, that would be how she managed to raise over two grand for Catherine's leaving do 😁

Thanks @JaneJeffer I'll have to look up Love Hate, not come across it.

@Pantsomime TLR got the phone when someone created a diversion in the canteen. The newsagent store was called Rico or something with the message present or presents for Ryan, which was obviously the bike and cycling stuff for his escape. Just shows you how many people are part of the network.

I thought TLR was thrown by the juxtaposition between the seemingly frail, elderly man pulling up, parking and unloading his car and the bad ass chopping beetroot. Nothing was as he expected.

EsmaCannonball · 30/01/2023 17:24

We've been told the ending is melancholy. Perhaps Ryan somehow finds the missing money and decides to move away from all these people? Or he and Clare go away together?

Absofruitly · 30/01/2023 11:57

That moment in the van when TLR says he's never been abroad, and Darius' disbelief and laughter was some brilliant acting from JN. He switched in a moment from wide-eyed, almost childlike wonder at the thought of going abroad to the darkness descending when he thought Darius was laughing at him. I actually thought he might fuck it up for himself by lunging at Darius in that moment. In fact, you could sort of see that play out on his face: I want to lamp this prick for laughing at me, but I need him to get me out of this situation. Those kinds of characters HATE being laughed at.

Yes 💯

Leftoverssandwich · 30/01/2023 17:25

I think it's all showing us how out of control he is, and that he's realising that, after feeling like the big bad man for busting out of court. He's at their mercy, but hasn't really fully realised that.

Inkanta · 30/01/2023 17:26

Really hope it's not Catherine that dies.

wildthingsinthenight · 30/01/2023 17:44

I've just listened to the latest episode of the Shrine Happy Valley podcast and it was an interview with the director of the last 3 episodes.
Obvs he couldnt say much but he said something like people will be satisfied with the ending and definitely no more seasons. It's a good listen. Interesting

JaneJeffer · 30/01/2023 17:45

It's really good @martinisforeveryone I think she was in Peaky Blinders too but I didn't watch

Did anyone else notice this ? When the dad and kids came back from school and Joanna was missing, Faizal’s brown suede jacket was hanging up and the kid in the coat looked at it.

Is that not Joanna's jacket?

I thought that Faisal wore a black one when he killed her.

JaneJeffer · 30/01/2023 17:46

The way Beetroot gripped the knife when TLR pissed him off - yikes Grin

Yes Beetroot Fucking Wifi is handy with a knife I reckon

Kaftanesque · 30/01/2023 17:49

I've just rewatched the bit in Ep 4 where Rob brings the chidren back home and realises Joanna is missing.Poppy stops in the hall and hesitates looking off the the side but previously someone said she was staring at a brown suede jacket.Faisals they thought.However we don't see what , if anything ,she is looking at.And the brown jacket is actually hanging on a door handle upstairs in the bedroom when Rob runs up there to look for Jo.
I got the impression Poppy just hung back as she hated seeing how Rob spoke to her mum,and he was already annoyed at having to pick them up.That 's the clever thing about HV.So many nuanced moments and details.I rewatched Series1 and 2 before this new one and got so much more from them than the initial viewing.

JaneJeffer · 30/01/2023 17:49

The bit with Darius and TLR was so good. I thought the whiskey was going to be drugged and Tommy would wake up in the middle of nowhere!

Onesipmore · 30/01/2023 18:03

Im wondering who the bride is going to be in Wedding of the year. The teacher/TA we haven't seen this series?

EsmaCannonball · 30/01/2023 18:06

I'd love it if the next episode opened with TLR's sinister voice and Ryan's face in the dark, listening to all his father's plans. Then the camera pans across to Clare on the settee next to him, knitting and yawning, Neil trying to eat some Cheesy Wotsits without crunching and giving the game away, and Nev doing a sudoku, stopping now and then to scribble the odd detail about the big escape on the back of the Daily Express.

I though that TLR would be drugged too
Nothing happened last night as I expected it to
Maybe the beetroot man will just lose it and bury him under the patio, job done

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/01/2023 18:17

@ilovebrie8 that's why I have linked all threads so can read and re read lots

@KangarooKenny I didn't notice but will look at it again

I don't think we're going to see the wedding. If I remember rightly, the first mention of it was when Thug Ivan told Faisal he'd be back to collect his drugs money on Thursday rather than Wednesday because he was getting married on the Wednesday. I think it's been in there every so often as a gentle humanising touch to the hapless thugs plot line.

I also think Ivan will not be turning up at the pharmacy to collect his money on Thursday (because dead or scarpered with allotment cash) and it will mean Faisal killed poor Joanna for absolutely nothing.
