Happy Valley is drawing to a close with the penultimate episode airing on Sunday night.

But fans were left reminiscing about the opening episodes of the hit BBC drama thanks to a 'genius' nod to the first season in the latest installment from writer Sally Wainwright.

Most of Sunday night's episode was dedicated to Tommy Lee Royce's (James Norton) grand plan to reunite with his son Ryan (Rhys Connah) and conclude his 'unfinished business' with Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire), but fans were excited to see a subtle reference to the rocky grandmother and grandson relationship.

'He sholdn'ta gone off. Shouldn't of left me with Ros,' Ryan told her about why he ran away from his granddad's house.

'Shouldn't have, for f**ks sake!' Catherine fumed.
