Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Bad Sisters Season 2.

As we countdown to the thrilling Season 2 finale of Bad Sisters, fans are left speculating about the explosive conclusion. The season kicks off with a captivating flash-forward, featuring Eva (Sharon Horgan), Bibi (Sarah Greene), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), and Becka (Eve Hewson) as they drive to the water’s edge. The anticipation builds as they open the trunk to reveal what appears to be a covered body, setting the stage for a season filled with unexpected twists and turns that have kept viewers on the edge of their seats.

This season has been marked by the tragic death of Grace (Anne-Marie Duff), leaving the sisters entangled in a web of suspicion regarding the alleged murder of Angelica (Fiona Shaw). However, the latest episode, “How to Pick a Prick,” shocks us with the revelation that Angelica is, in fact, alive. Yet, that’s merely the tip of the iceberg; the real shocker is Ian’s (Owen McDonnell) role as the season’s primary antagonist, a twist that promises to unravel even more complexities surrounding his character.

Explore How Ian Emerges as the True Villain in ‘Bad Sisters’ Season 2

Throughout the season, Ian has been a character shrouded in ambiguity. While he initially seemed to be a better ally than Jean Paul (Claes Bang), his actions often raised red flags. His relationship with Eva appeared to be suspiciously timed, and his suggestion for someone to return to the marina parking lot almost led to a critical mistake for Bibi, who narrowly escaped being caught by Houlihan (Thaddea Graham). Following a confrontation with Bibi, Ian’s abrupt departure from town and his decision to block Eva’s number only added to the growing sense of distrust.

The layers of deception surrounding Ian unravel dramatically. After manipulating Eva into thinking she needed him as a co-trustee for Blánaid’s (Saise Quinn) bank account, he brazenly emptied the account and absconded with the funds. To make matters worse, he appears to have turned evidence over to the police, painting the Garvey sisters as potential culprits. The sisters soon realize that Grace likely uncovered Ian’s true motives, which could explain her fateful last drive. Ian’s actions hint not only at financial betrayal but also suggest he could be implicated in Grace’s tragic demise.

In the world of Bad Sisters, the shocking revelations do not stop here. Ian’s backstory is rife with deceit; he may have fabricated a tale about a deceased sister, and his gambling habit hints at deeper issues. The most startling discovery is that his real identity is Cormac Sweeney, a man with a complicated past, including a family he abandoned and a history of criminal behavior, including domestic violence. His theft of an unhoused man’s identity only deepens the intrigue. Such revelations leave viewers questioning the future of the series as it builds towards a potentially explosive finale.

Anticipating the Impact of Recent Twists on the ‘Bad Sisters’ Season 2 Finale

The trajectory for Bad Sisters appears to be leading towards a dramatic confrontation where the Garvey sisters may resort to killing Ian and orchestrating a cover-up. However, true to the show’s nature, expect the finale to be rife with unexpected twists and turns. There’s a sense that Grace’s death holds deeper secrets, possibly involving blackmail linked to Ian’s knowledge of her past with Jean Paul. The true motive behind these events remains shrouded in mystery, echoing the unpredictability of Ian’s true identity.

By the close of “How to Pick a Prick,” Ian’s possession of Blánaid creates an opportunity for him to manipulate the Garvey sisters into complying with his demands. The question remains: are Ian’s motives purely financial, or is there a more sinister agenda at play? The narrative seemed to set the sisters up for blame regarding Angelica’s death, yet with Angelica’s survival and Ian’s manipulation, the finale could take any number of unexpected directions. Fans are left hoping for the survival of the remaining Garvey sisters amidst the chaos.

The highly anticipated Bad Sisters Season 2 finale will be available for streaming on Tuesday night exclusively on Apple TV+.
