‘Trauma’ Episode 3 Review: 9 Moments That Nearly Made Our Heart Stop During The Finale<\/b>
\nHaving been penned by \u2018Doctor Foster\u2019 creator Mike Barlett, we knew the \u2018Trauma\u2019 finale would deliver, and sure enough, it didn\u2019t disappoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The final 60 minutes of ITV\u2019s latest thriller were proper heart-in-mouth TV, in the same way both series finales of \u2018Doctor Foster\u2019 had been before it.<\/p>\n

Not only did we finally find out if Jon was telling the truth about his conduct during Alex\u2019s operation, but there was a stand-out performance from lead star John Simm, whose portrayal of a distraught and grieving father pushed to the limit is sure to be recognised in the awards stakes.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s nine moments he and his fellow stars kept us on the edge of our seats during the dramatic conclusion…<\/p>\n

When Alana invited Dan in the house<\/p>\n

After turning up on Jon\u2019s doorstep at the end of the last episode, we wondered if Dan would go for brute force or charm to get in the Allerton family house. When he went for the latter, we prayed Alana would simply shut the door on him.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, she didn\u2019t – a decision she soon came to regret…<\/p>\n

When Alana spotted her phone was missing<\/p>\n

At the climax of one of Mike Barlett\u2019s signature long scenes (our all time favourite obviously being *that* \u2018Doctor Foster\u2019 dinner party), Alana twigged Jon had stolen her phone, before he quickly cut off the landline and pulled a knife out on her, leaving us questioning what he would do to her.<\/p>\n

Although, we have to say, we\u2019d probably never needed a commercial break more.<\/p>\n

When Lisa arrived home and found Dan on the doorstep<\/p>\n

In a scene that mimicked the earlier one with Alana, Dan managed to pull the wool over Lisa\u2019s eyes, and trick her into becoming one of his hostages.<\/p>\n

Having not known what he\u2019d done to Alana at this point, we feared the worst for Lisa as she begun an impromptu psychiatric session.<\/p>\n

When Jon got the message from Dan telling him to come home or Lisa was dead<\/p>\n

Jon faced the biggest race home of his life, and we can only imagine how painful that traffic jam was.<\/p>\n

At this point, Lisa wasn\u2019t sure about the level of danger she was in, but that soon became all too clear when he pulled the knife on her.<\/p>\n

Our relief when we discovered he hadn\u2019t killed Alana<\/p>\n

Luckily, our heart rates were given a rest when it was revealed Dan had simply threatened Alana to stay quiet upstairs.<\/p>\n

But when it looked as if the teen<\/a> was about to persuade him to give up on the situation, Jon walked through the door to make everything 10 times worse.<\/p>\n

When Jon admitted he had made a mistake<\/p>\n

The moment we\u2019d been waiting the whole of the last three episodes for came when Jon admitted he had made a mistake while operating on Alex\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

However, it remained unclear if this admission of guilt was genuine, or an attempt to save Alana, whose jugular Dan currently had a knife next to.<\/p>\n

When Dan raised the knife above Alana\u2019s head<\/p>\n

We totally thought she was a goner.<\/p>\n

When Dan encouraged Jon to pick up the knife and stab him<\/p>\n

With Dan having spared Alana, there was a tense showdown between the two men<\/a>, where Dan attempted to goad Jon into stabbing him. For a moment, it looked like he might go through with it, but ultimately he decided to kick the shit out of him instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Jon walked into Dan\u2019s hospital room<\/p>\n

At this point, we thought Jon had come to finish off the job, but he sat down and confirmed the truth – that he had messed up during Alex\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n

While Dan certainly didn\u2019t seem to get initial closure from the moment, we later saw a vision of Alex appear in front of him, seemingly giving him what he needed to move on.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0while it looked like Jon would be spared his job, he had lost the thing that mattered the most to him – the trust of his daughter.<\/p>\n

\u2018Trauma\u2019 is available to watch in its entirety on the ITV Hub now.
