Viewers think they've worked out which direction the gripping story of Sergeant Catherine Cawood and psychopath Tommy Lee Royce is heading after being blown away by dramatic scenes at the end of episode four of the third and final series of Happy Valley. Much to Catherine's despair her grandson Ryan Cawood has been visiting his vile father Tommy in prison with help from her sister Clare Cartwright and her partner Neil Ackroyd.
Catherine, played by Sarah Lancashire, has been trying to keep Ryan away from his evil dad, who raped her daughter Becky before she tragically ended her own life. Tommy was serving time in Sheffield for the brutal murder of police officer Kirsten McAskill and for the abduction of Ann Gallagher in series one.
He was back in court in the latest episode (Sunday January 22) preparing to stand trial for the murder of Gary Gaggowski, whose remains were found washed up in a reservoir in episode one of series three, when Tommy staged a highly dramatic break-out. Suddenly there was pandemonium as a fight broke out, and Tommy seized his chance.
