The final ever episode of Happy Valley saw Catherine and Tommy in epic and long-awaited showdown.

Tough cookie, Catherine Cawood, has been planning her retirement from the police force throughout season 3.

I’m the best copper that ever lived but Code 11… job done.

And although we never her got to see her embark on her trip to the Himalayas, we’re just grateful to see her emerge from her last day alive.

In the season finale, Catherine was finally forced to face her nemesis Tommy in her kitchen.

Thankfully the show delivered a rather satisfying end and Catherine cleared up her desk and left the police force for good, after 30 years of service.

To mark the end of the show, Sarah teamed up with The Yorkshire Soap Company to prepare a ‘special gift’ for the cast and crew.

Sarah created a Happy Valley candle for her co-stars with a label that includes quote from Sergeant Catherine Cawood.

It read: “I’m the best copper that ever lived but Code 11… job done.”
