*Warning \u2013 contains full spoilers for all six episodes of Wolf.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

The BBC\u2019s latest thriller\u00a0Wolf<\/a> has landed on iPlayer in full after gripping audiences during its BBC One run.<\/p>\n

The six-parter is based on Mo Hayder\u2019s Jack Caffery novels<\/a>, but those who are not familiar with Hayder\u2019s work will have likely been shocked at some of the twists in the final episode, aided by an equally tense soundtrack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wales-based<\/a> drama boasts a star-studded cast<\/a> including Ukweli Roach in the lead, and\u00a0Sacha Dhawan<\/a> and Iwan Rheon<\/a> in major roles.<\/p>\n

Viewers who have already made their way through the series might still be reeling following the revelation of the final episode.\u00a0Who were the Donkey Pitch killers? And what did Jack discover about his brother\u2019s disappearance?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about the ending of Wolf<\/a> on BBC One, but beware \u2013 there are full spoilers<\/strong> from here on out.<\/p>\n

Who was Honey?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In episode 4, it was revealed that Honey was not one of the Donkey Pitch killers as he had previously claimed \u2013 he wasn\u2019t a killer at all.<\/p>\n

In fact, he was an out of work actor, with a pregnant wife waiting for him at home. It is suggested that he has done this sort of work for hire before and he has told her that he is on a marketing trip.<\/p>\n

He is simply holding the Anchor-Ferrers family captive and torturing them because he has been paid to do so, with no intention of killing them or seriously maiming them. In fact, after being given a callback for a part in a commercial, he decides to focus on acting and make this his last job.<\/p>\n

He believes that he and Molina were both hired by the same anonymous boss, who gave them both a pack of specific instructions, including the names they should use. However, that\u2019s not quite the case\u2026<\/p>\n

It turns out that, as Jack theorised, the Donkey Pitch murders weren\u2019t committed by just one killer, but by two \u2013 Molina and Lucia Anchor-Ferrers!<\/p>\n

The Molina reveal is made at the end of episode 5, when Honey finds the body of housekeeper Becca in the basement of the Anchor-Ferrers family.<\/p>\n

Molina then revealed his true colours, explaining that he\u2019d killed Becca to stop her from coming to the house (and as his warm-up for killing the family) and had been messing with Honey throughout, moving things and making him feel they were being watched.<\/p>\n

He was the one who had hired Honey and had given them their identities for the job based on two real detectives \u2013 who had, coincidentally, shown up at the house in episode 5!<\/p>\n

He had committed the Donkey Pitch murders and was now terrorising the family. However, he wasn\u2019t working alone.<\/p>
