Enda Bowe\/Netflix<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n The finale kicks off with Dove in a prison cell with Gilbert, who is recording more of his podcast and is happy that they\u2019ve solved the mystery.<\/p>\n
Dove admits to Gilbert that her mother was a heroin addict and in her moment of honesty, opens up about the workplace investigation that she was initially sent away for.<\/p>\n
The case in question was all about governmental corruption, and she reveals that one of her main sources, Krtek, told her to kill the story, but she told him she could protect his anonymity and guarantee his safety. She then recounts how she found him dead but that, even though he was hanging there, she spotted his laptop and couldn\u2019t resist the opportunity to get the evidence of the corruption going on in the higher levels of government.<\/p>\n
She admits she took his laptop and left him there for someone else to find. Gilbert is shocked by the story and concludes that Krtek killed himself because of Dove. But she\u2019s angry at that sentiment and the pair get into a heated exchange about the ethics of both of their forms of journalism. An officer interrupts them and informs Gilbert that he is being released from prison but Dove is kept pending extradition.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Seamus (David Wilmot) breaks into Mrs O\u2019Shea\u2019s home and threatens Sean because of their eel smuggling operation going awry and Seamus being chased by Interpol agents masking as yakuza buyers. Once he\u2019s left, Mrs O\u2019Shea eventually opens up to Gilbert and Emmy about her past and the promise she kept to Fiona of Seamus never having anything to do with her child.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, Sean is actually Seamus and Fiona\u2019s son but was taken in by Mrs O\u2019Shea, a nun at the convent who left after claiming she was adopting a Romanian child.<\/strong> All was revealed in episode 6 when Maeve explained that Fiona died during childbirth<\/strong> and was buried on the grounds of the convent and Emmy quickly cottoned on to the true identity of Mrs O\u2019Shea\u2019s son being Sean.<\/p>\nMrs O\u2019Shea admits to Emmy and Gilbert that she was the one who burnt her son Sean\u2019s car, tried to get the trio out of town and burnt Seamus\u2019s boat, but nothing worked to get Seamus to leave Sean alone. She tells Emmy to talk to Sean to try and get him to give back Seamus\u2019s eels.<\/p>\n
But Mrs O\u2019Shea says that Sean can never find out that Seamus is his father, with Gilbert saying she has his word but also, we see he\u2019s recording their conversation.<\/p>\n
Enda Bowe\/Netflix<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n Later at the festival, Gilbert tells Seamus that Sean is his son and the pair try to make it to Sean before the other heavies do. When they find him, although he can reel off lots of facts about Romania, Seamus tells him that he\u2019s not Romanian and is actually his son.<\/p>\n
Mrs O\u2019Shea arrives and steps in front of Sean, telling Seamus to leave them alone, but he points a gun at Mrs O\u2019Shea. About to shoot, he misses and instead shoots Sean\u2019s thumb off. The police arrive ready to arrest Seamus after Dove, who is working with Interpol and has been released, has notified them of his whereabouts. But Seamus points the gun at Gilbert\u2019s head and runs off with him as a hostage.<\/p>\n
Confronting Gilbert, Seamus is disgusted to see that Gilbert is still recording everything on his dictaphone. Similarly, Emmy lies to Interpol that she\u2019s recording their conversation but is simply bluffing to get them to leave her and Dove alone.<\/p>\n
The Samhain festival is well underway and Seamus uses the noise and distraction of it to take Gilbert and tie him up underground in a bunker. There, Seamus reveals he\u2019s got a bomb and sets it off to detonate, leaving Gilbert there besides it.<\/p>\n
Tracking Gilbert to the location \u2013 but overground \u2013 Dove and Emmy eventually find him underground and also find the bomb. Emmy tries her best to evacuate the area above and has to pour a drink on the DJ\u2019s decks to bring some attention to what\u2019s going on, eventually enlisting Teddy to sing a song which helps lead the procession out of the festival.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s just in time, as the bomb does go off in the trailer, raining parts of eel on everyone. Speaking about the inclusion of the eel storyline, showrunner Alex Metcalf told Tudum<\/a>: \u201cOnce we realised that eels were the biggest wildlife-smuggling crime in the world based in Northern Europe and Ireland, we were like, \u2018How can we not do this?\u2019 It\u2019s so absurd and wonderful.\u201d<\/p> Gilbert wasn\u2019t in the trailer after all and is fine, much to Emmy and Dove\u2019s relief. The next day, we see him doing some narration for the podcast, talking about how far he\u2019d go for the story and how he\u2019s got nothing from it in return. He then throws his dictaphone into the water and admits to Emmy that he has no idea what he\u2019s now going to do in his career.<\/p>\n
Back home, Emmy\u2019s at work in the Guardian offices and, instead of accepting just praise from her boss over her investigations in Bodkin, she says she wants to join the Special Investigations team and doesn\u2019t take no for an answer.<\/p>\n
Back in Bodkin, we see Mrs O\u2019Shea try to tell Sean about his \u2018real mum\u2019, but he says he already knows about her, meaning Mrs O\u2019Shea and not the story about Fiona.<\/p>\n
Dove also visits the convent that she was raised in and is surprised when a nun tells her that Sister Geraldine kept all of her stories in a scrapbook. But she\u2019s even more surprised when she\u2019s handed a box of her old toys from her time there. The nun asks Dove how long she plans to stay there and Dove says that she\u2019s actually working on a new podcast about the nun in question, bringing out her dictaphone.<\/p>\n
Although we\u2019ve seen her afraid of the image of a wolf throughout the series, she sees it one last time and isn\u2019t scared, signalling that she\u2019s ready to create a new story.<\/p>\n
What happened to Malachy, Fiona and Greta?<\/strong><\/h2>\n Enda Bowe\/Netflix<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n With so much going on in the series, you may have missed what happened in the main case \u2013 the disappearance (and eventual death) of the two bodies found in Garda Sergeant Power\u2019s (Denis Conway) car.<\/p>\n
While initially believed to have been the bodies of Seamus\u2019s brother Malachy and his girlfriend Fiona, we actually found out that the female body was that of a tourist named Greta. But how did she end up dead with Malachy and in the boot of Power\u2019s car many years later?<\/p>\n
Well, back in the \u201990s on the night of Samhain, Seamus received a threatening call from rival Northern Irish family, the McArdles. It was revealed that Seamus was actually Jackie McFadden, a major Northern Irish smuggler whose rivalry with the McArdles was set to reach a head. Fearing for the safety of his brother and girlfriend, he told them to leave Bodkin.<\/p>\n
But on the night in question, Power\u2019s son Teddy and Malachy got into a fight over Fiona and Teddy killed Malachy with a brick. Power helped his son and said he\u2019d get rid of Malachy\u2019s body but driving on the way to do so, he hit and killed Greta.<\/strong> So, he put her body in the boot of his car also and then drove his car into the lake, only to be found years later.<\/p>\nAs for Fiona, we know she was Sean\u2019s biological mother and was pregnant with Sean at the time but found solace in the convent on Inish Mac Thiere, staying there until her birth. Fiona unfortunately died during childbirth but told Mrs O\u2019Shea, one of the nuns there at the time, to look after Sean and keep him away from Seamus.<\/p>\n
