After almost a decade of waiting, fans have finally seen the tense and thrilling ending to Catherine Cawood\u2019s (Sarah Lancashire) story in Happy Valley<\/a>. However, it turns out that if they\u2019d been paying attention, they may have been able to piece it together ahead of time.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been noted on Twitter<\/a> that two major moments from the series\u2019s final instalments had in fact been teased at the start of every episode in season 3, as part of the opening credits.<\/p>\n Not only had Tommy\u2019s (James Norton) getaway bike from his court escape in episode 4 been seen briefly in the opening titles, but his\u00a0brutal death scene<\/a>, where he covered himself in petrol and set himself alight, had also been hinted at.<\/p>\n Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed a quick glimpse of Tommy\u2019s hand reaching out and picking up the petrol can \u2013 a moment which out of context may have seemed in conspicuous, but following the finale becomes a crucial tease of things to come.<\/p>\n Of course, its appearance in the series\u2019s opening titles wasn\u2019t the only notable thing about Tommy\u2019s death \u2013 it also mirrored a threat made in the very first episode, when Catherine confronted a man threatening to do exactly what Tommy follows through with.<\/p>\n The finale also saw a major moment for Ryan (Rhys Connah) when he decided not to join Tommy and run away to Spain \u2013 a choice that actor Rhys Connah told RadioTimes.com<\/a> was \u201cvital\u201d<\/a>.<\/p> He said: \u201cIt\u2019s a big decision. It\u2019s a vital choice because Catherine\u2019s always been worried about Ryan turning into his dad. And for Ryan, making a choice to go with Tommy would essentially be choosing to turn into his dad.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the fact that he chose Catherine is what makes his character come full circle. He proves that he isn\u2019t like Tommy, that he isn\u2019t going to be a bad person, and that he can be a good person when a lot of people don\u2019t think he can.\u201d<\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/406869-1ca80c4.jpg?quality=90&crop=29px%2C41px%2C5242px%2C3492px&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
