After it was discovered in episode three that Nancy, played by Broadchurch and Coronation Street actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, had been blackmailing the group, episode four revealed her motivations - and they were far from sinister.
Rather than a criminal mastermind, it turned out that Nancy was just desperate for cash since her husband had racked up crippling debts through gambling and so cooked up the short-sighted plan to extort the money out of her fellow Evans' brewery workers.

The episode ended with Nancy vowing to somehow earn back their trust before returning home only to find the police arriving not long after, presumably to arrest her.
After the credits rolled, many viewers took to Twitter to express their sympathy for Nancy and her situation. "Awwww. I actually feel really sorry for Nancy @JulieHes she screwed up, but she was just desperate, she ain't the killer," one viewer wrote.

Another said: "Oh no! It was totally wrong what she did but I can't help but feel sorry for Nancy #ThePact," while a third simply wrote: "Poor Nancy."
