The BBC has released a teaser for the last-ever episode of the hugely popular Happy Valley, and we have spotted some clues in the scenes featured. Fans of the third and final series have been taken on an emotional rollercoaster throughout the past five weeks, and the tense storyline looks to be heading towards a dramatic end on Sunday.
Fans have been left with several unanswered questions and a number of loose ends remain after the fifth instalment just a couple of days ago. Seven questions that need answering here.

The official synopsis for the final episode teases that "scores are settled for good on Catherine’s final shift" and that "Ryan faces a moral dilemma", but otherwise little is known.
Now, as we eagerly await the last episode, fans have been given a sneak peek at the drama set to unfold.
Ryan has been brought in for questioning
In the short clip, which is just 16 seconds long, Ryan Cawood can be seen being questioned by police about when he last had contact with his dangerous dad, Tommy Lee Royce.
At the end of episode five his father made contact through their games consoles and he gleaned lots of information about the killer's plans, including escaping to Spain. Will the teenager tell the police what he knows? It is difficult to tell from his facial expressions in the trailer, but he does look very conflicted.
Catherine in tears
A number of frantic scenes then flash across the screen with the short trailer ending with a shot of Catherine Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire, in tears. It follows the ominous warning from Tommy Lee Royce in the last series that he had some 'business' to sort before he attempts to jet off abroad in a bid to evade justice for good.
Shortly before the camera cuts to Catherine, she can be heard saying: "He's (Tommy Lee Royce) still out there. He's going to be angry and he's going to be even more desperate and dangerous."
Catherine searching for Tommy
In the last episode Catherine said that she wasn't going to sit around watching television while Tommy Lee Royce was still out there. A picture released by the BBC shows her looking up to a property while in uniform,
Looking at the background it is not the street where the killer is hanging out with the elderly man. Has she had a tip off though? There is a clip of Tommy in the back of a car so he must be on the move.
Tommy and Catherine are in the same house
In a clip near the end Catherine is seen going into a house. Despite being told to stay away it looks like it is her house. The stained glass in the front door is the same as it is in Catherine's house where she lives with Ryan, and it looks like Tommy is upstairs creeping around. He looks down as the front door opens. Will they confront each other?
One Twitter fan said: "OMG. OMG. TLR, is in her house. Catherine needs help. Now."
Tommy hitting something
The trailer ends with what looks like Tommy out in the countryside about to hit something, and then it pans to Catherine out of breath, and crying.
One fan asked: "Dare I hope that she's not crying with grief, but actually relief that Tommy's dead....... ?"
