Watch Happy Valley Season 3 Episode 5: synopsis
Happy Valley's third and final season certainly had some big boots to fill following the success of its first two instalments. With the decision to leave a seven year gap, too, allowing Rhys Connah (who plays Catherine's grandson, Ryan) to grow up, anticipation has built for what has been confirmed to be a gratifying final chapter for the West Yorkshire set crime drama.
With just two episodes left, the stakes are rising. Last Sunday's episode saw Tommy Lee Royce escaping from police custody following his hearing at Leeds Crown Court, which his son Ryan attended.
Meanwhile, Rob discovered his wife Jo dead and packed into a suitcase by Faisal, after her parents filed a missing persons report, leaving the coercive PE teacher looking particularly guilty.
All this before Catherine is due to retire from the police force in just two days, the official synopsis for Happy Valley Season 3, Episode 5 reads: "Catherine races to protect her family following Tommy's escape. A murder investigation begins."
