'Dublin Murders' Episode 8: There were many theories about Rosalind, but no one guessed her secret
'Dublin Murders' certainly has kept us on our toes for the entire season, especially when it came to revealing Katy's (Amy Macken) killer. Throughout the Starz show, we had taken Rosalind (Leah McNamara) for a victim of emotional and sexual abuse, and it turns out while the former is true, the latter is what she wanted everyone to think. She has been playing Rob (Killian Scott) and the rest of Knocknaree to see her as a victim so she could get away with her perfect crime scot-free.
In the final episode of the series, which was aired on Sunday, December 29, it was revealed that nervous, soft Damien (Jonny Holden) actually killed Katy, while the masterplan was laid out by her loving sister Rosalind. While confessing to her crimes, Rosalind revealed what we already know, she is an unwanted child. She was the darkness that forced her parents to get together and they resented her for it.
She coursed a plan to make them pay for making her life miserable — take away the one thing that gives meaning to their lives. It just so happens to be Katy, who is beloved by all. Everything was executed as per Rosalind's demands, and yet, a chocolate biscuit unraveled their entire plan. And it turns out, Rosaline is more of an evil genius that anyone would have believed in their wildest dreams. She had a lifeline ready for when she is caught that came in the form of Rob's secret past.
While most of us knew there is something off about Rosalind, no one was able to clearly guess that she would be behind Katy's death. Over the course of the series, there have been many fan theories involving her. As one fan put it, "Wild theory: Rosalind is the real mother to Katy & Jessica and she fell pregnant after the dad abused her #DublinMurders". Another theorized, "Wild theory - is the cleaner lady actually Rosalind’s mum? And that’s why Margaret said ‘I never wanted you’? "
No one truly guessed Rosalind's intentions, and according to us, that is where the success of 'Dublin Murders' lies.
