Everything comes to a head in the final episode of Who is Erin Carter?, which sees the title character seriously hurt and racing home before Lena can spill the beans to Jordi and Harper.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s perplexed to find everything normal when she finally arrives, not knowing that Lena had been snatched by Daniel\u2019s henchmen before she could make her move.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Jordi is able to patch up Erin\u2019s wounds before they become critical and she then orders him to take Harper somewhere safe.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lena recognises Daniel as the bankroller of the botched Harwich heist that caused her to lose everything; he\u2019s just as shocked to learn that Erin was the police plant.<\/p>\n

Erin herself is self-medicating adrenaline to prep her for the fight to come, which kicks off moments later as Daniel\u2019s brutal enforcers begin breaking into her home.<\/p>

A couple of brawls ensue before there\u2019s chance encounter with Penelope; an enemy of a different kind, but one who has proven just as sharp. Here, however, she seems softer than usual.<\/p>\n

We later learn it\u2019s because she\u2019s decided to ask her husband for a divorce.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Lena tracks Harper to Olivia\u2019s house, but is robbed of the chance to reconnect when Daniel\u2019s men abduct her estranged daughter and unsuspecting guardian, Jordi.<\/p>\n

With nowhere left to turn, she goes to Erin for help and they have something of an air clear, bonding over their shared love of Harper.<\/p>\n

They decide joining forces is the best path forward.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Erin has a dramatic confrontation with Daniel, which ends with her shooting him in the head.<\/p>\n

In the epilogue, we see that Jordi, Erin and Harper have reconciled and are enjoying some time at the beach \u2013 the latter two writing letters to the mums they will never know.<\/p>\n

However, just when things seem to be perfect, she encounters DI Jim Armstrong at the beach bar, who tells her it\u2019s time to get back to her dangerous undercover work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always found use for trouble,\u201d he tells her. Is that season 2 calling? Watch this space.<\/p>\n

The series ends with Jordi answering the question posed by its title \u2013 Erin Carter is \u201csomeone who would risk everything for their family\u201d.<\/p>
