The show never details when their relations took place, or honestly, if they ever stopped. This is purely based on the assumption that Vickery and Adora have a romantic past that might have led to something. As Adora’s husband Alan (Henry Czerny) says to the chief in the season finale: “You’re up there as much as I am.” 1b. She was always asking him for intel on the murder cases, and he was always paying random visits at the house, so much so that he had his usual from the kitchen.

WTF was going on with Vickery and Adora?Īll season long, the series has hinted several times that Wind Gap’s police chief (Matt Craven) and Adora had a past and remained close up until the night of her arrest. Just don’t tell her mama you’re thinking about any of this, K? 1a. Read the Bookīelow, some lingering questions you might have while replaying Amma’s last words over and over again. In retrospect, perhaps that dinner scene at her editor Frank’s house was too nice, too comfortable, and we all should’ve seen a big twist coming. Much like Gillian Flynn’s novel, the show holds our attention almost to the very end, coaxes us into believing that all is well again, even for Camille, only to deliver one final blow. (Yes, “Don’t Tell Mama” is also the name of episode three and something she’s said to Camille before.)

“Don’t tell mama,” a stunned Amma tells her sister, before the end credits fill the screen. In place of ivory is actual human teeth, likely belonging to Natalie, Ann, and presumably, Amma’s new friend and neighbor, Mae. In the episode’s chilling, final moments, not long after Adora is sent to prison, Camille (Amy Adams) makes a grand discovery: Amma’s (Eliza Scanlen) dollhouse version of Adora’s pristine bedroom is an exact replica, down to the floor. A mess of contradictions, Amma is the picture-perfect daughter when at home, dressing in little girls’ dresses and bows for Adora ’s delight and spending hours meticulously working on a dollhouse designed to look just like her mother’s house.

On Sunday’s season finale, the killer of Natalie Keene and Ann Nash was revealed to be Adora Crellin (Patricia Clarkson), who was led out of her picture-perfect house in handcuffs by the cops. Amma Crellin is Camille ’s thirteen-year-old half-sister. The twisted, dramatic saga that is HBO's Sharp Objects has come to an end.
