Preview — Mare of Easttown Season 1 Episode 2: Fathers
Mare starts her investigation into the murder of Erin McMenamin on Mare of Easttown Season 1 Episode 2, “Fathers.”
After introducing viewers to the characters and relationships of Easttown Pennsylvania, Mare of Easttown Season 1 Episode 1, Miss Lady Hawk Herself,” ends with the revelation that one of the characters we’d been following — Erin McMenamin — was murdered following a confrontation with her ex and his new girlfriend.
On “Fathers,” the murder is discovered, and Mare is assigned to investigate the case, which includes informing Erin’s father of her death. Mare’s investigation starts with the most obvious suspect, her ex-boyfriend.
While the rules of a twisty crime drama most likely mean he didn’t kill Erin, it will be more than a little satisfying if Mare can make him squirm a bit after the way he treated Erin on “Miss Lady Hawk Herself.”
Hopefully, we’ll also find out a little more about Mare’s past and start to piece together what made her who she is today.
Elsewhere on “Fathers,” Evan Peters’s character makes his debut as the out-of-town detective Mare is forced to work the case with.
