The finale of the Happy Valley finale will revolve around Ryan's dad Tommy's showdown with Catherine.

It remains to be seen whether Ryan will run off with his dad to Marbella, or if he will see through his father's twisted games.

In the series, Catherine (played by Sarah Lancashire) is bringing up her daughter Becky's son.

She was always against the pre-established relationship between Becky and Tommy Lee Royce (played by Edward Norton).

Becky raped Tommy and Catherine never forgave him as she believed that is what drew her to suicide after she gave birth to Ryan.

But Ryan has been seeing his father in prison behind his grandmother's back.
