Preview — Mare of Easttown Season 1 Episode 5: Illusions
Viewers will get a fuller look into Mare’s past on Mare of Easttown Season 1 Episode 5, “Illusions.”
Mare may be ignoring her chief’s order to stay away from her cases, but she is complying with the order to see a grief counselor.
In doing that, Mare will divulge more about her past — and her family’s past — giving viewers what will no doubt be an emotional look into Mare’s trauma.
But “Illusions” won’t be all self-reflection and emotional catharsis. There is still a lot going on in Mare’s present, including three high-profile cases with no shortage of suspects or unanswered questions.
The clues continue to pile up with only three episodes left, including another one that will hit close to home as it comes from her best friend, Lori and seems to involve Lori’s family.
What do you think will Lori learn about her son, and how do you think it relates to Mare’s cases?
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview!
Episode description: In her mandated therapy, Mare opens up about her family’s history with mental health; Lori tries to get to the bottom of her son’s outburst at school; Mare meets with a semi-retired source to help find a possible connection to her three cases.
