🚨Warning: There are MASSIVE spoilers ahead for Mare of Easttown Episode 5!🚨
So one of my favorite shows right now is Mare of Easttown. Not only is the cast exceptional — I mean, you've got Kate Winslet, Jean Smart, AND Evan Peters — but the show is so smart, and I'm left on the edge of my seat every single week.
And while we've had some incredible episodes already, nothing could've prepared me for the jaw-dropping final minutes of Episode 5.
At the end of the episode, Mare and Colin finally came face-to-face with Wayne Potts, aka the man who kidnapped Katie Bailey and Missy.
And after Wayne realized they had figured him out — while Katie and Missy banged on a pipe — he shockingly shot (and killed) Colin, and I'm still weeping over it.
Like, I grew so attached to sweet Colin Zabel in just four episodes, I wasn't ready to say goodbye SO SOON.
In the end, Mare, who was unarmed because she'd been suspended, managed to find Katie and Missy and kill Wayne after maneuvering through the house and grabbing Colin's gun.
So much happened in this final scene, and we still have two episodes left of the show. I'm stressed thinking about what else is going to happen.
Like me, the internet is having a proper freakout over Mare of Easttown Episode 5, so here are some tweets, if you're still screaming about it too.
I literally stopped breathing for the last five minutes of #MareofEasttown. This show is so smart and has truly left its mark on the TV crime genre. Each episode has gotten bigger and better, the cast is exceptional, and man, it's always one step ahead of the audience

#MareofEasttown is the best show on TV right now. That episode had me laughing, tearing up, jumping up off my couch & screaming. Jean Smart & Kate Winslet should win all the awards. And, Alas, poor Zabel! I knew him, a fellow of infinite sincerity, of most excellent awkwardness.
