mare of easttown episode season 1 episode 1

An addict with something to prove, the soft touch was the only way to reach her. So yes, I.īut Carrie is fighting her own battles with regard to parenthood and as a result of being left behind when Kevin killed himself. So yes, I want my son back for me but also for Kevin because he deserves a lot better than you. Mare did not express herself well, though, and she threatened Carrie when Carrie didn't immediately react to Mare's hope that Drew could finish the school year where he was. Taking his words to heart, she did what she could to reach Carrie, but their relationship is so strained that even if Mare had managed to express herself well, it's unlikely that Carrie would have grasped that olive branch. Bet you were a good mother.īut she did hear what Richard said, too.

Her last-ditch effort to frame Carrie was contrary to everything we expect from good parents.Ĭolin: I'm sorry about your son. Parenting is difficult no matter the age, and Mare isn't doing a lot to inspire confidence in her hers. We react poorly to many situations, especially when we realize our own culpability led us to that place. Just as Mare knew that Frank didn't have anything to do with Erin's murder nor did he have sex with her, Frank knew that withholding information when they initially spoke would come back to bite him in the ass. I'm not sure how Frank turned Mare's questioning of him resulting from a legitimate lead to Mare's inability or refusal to talk about their son, though.

Erin McMenamin? You said you never really talked to her? That. Erin McMenamin? You said you never really talked to her? That was a lie. Frank, though, was appalled on many levels, one of which was that Mare interrupted his family time, and another was that she'd question him about it at all. Giving her a little credit, Mare tried to get Siobhan to go back into the house rather than witness her interrogation of Frank.
