The Crowded Room season 1 episode 10 (finale): Danny’s verdict
Tom Holland delivered a tour de force in the final hour of the series, bringing you not only some of his character’s pain, but also the heartbreak and loss. We often dove further into the subject of mental illness as his final confessions on the stand were made. From there, we heard the verdict: Not guilty by reason of insanity. He did not get to return back home and instead, he ended up spending the upcoming years of his life in a treatment center.
So in the aftermath of the trial, what did we have a chance to see? Well, for starters, a pretty emotional conversation between Danny and his mother about the past and some of the regrets that she had about the past. She took responsibility for some of his trauma, and noted that she failed in her duty to properly protect her child.
As for Rya, she did pay Danny a visit, where she learned more about his treatments and where he now was. We hope that within those moments, she found an element of closure — though she admitted that she was so invested in his case that it was hard for her to move forward.
What happened in real life?
Well, Danny Sullivan is based in part on Billy Milligan, who ended up spending a decade in mental institutions before being eventually released. He lived to be 59 years old, and we tend to think that Danny, at least within the world of this show, will go on to live a similar life. However, this is surely all of it we are likely to see.
