The third and final season of Happy Valley<\/a> continues next Sunday, and for fans who are desperate to find out what happens next after that shocking cliffhanger, we have our first look at what to expect.<\/p>\n

In newly released images from episode 3, Ryan (Rhys Connah) can be seen visiting Tommy (James Norton) in prison along with Neil (Con O\u2019Neill), meaning we will get to see what happened while we were following Catherine (Sarah Lancashire) and Clare (Siobhan Finneran) at the end of episode 2. In one of the images, Ryan appears to be smiling at Tommy.<\/p>\n

The first episode of this season saw Catherine finding out that Ryan had been visiting his biological father<\/a> behind her back, escorted by a couple. In episode 2, she discovered the couple was her sister Clare<\/a> and Clare\u2019s partner Neil, with this proving to be the ultimate betrayal.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for episode 3 reads as follows: \u201cCatherine confronts Clare and presents Ryan with an ultimatum. Faisal and Joanna hatch a plan that takes an unexpected turn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s repeated visits to see Tommy and Clare\u2019s betrayal could well be leading up to the \u201cbig face-to-face showdown\u201d<\/a> between Catherine and Tommy which creator Sally Wainwright has teased for this season, which she said is \u201cthe kind of cathartic showdown that people have waited for\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty dramatic.\u201d<\/p>
