We ll be saying bye to the girls next week but Erin Orla and the rest of the gang were in last night s episodes — it was all about the mums Channel 4 The mums have been a hilarious staple since the first episode, but this time we got to see how they get down when the kids aren't around. It was their school reunion and there was a flashback that took us back to 77 – the year of their leaver s prom – and honestly it was the backstory we didn t know we needed Channel 4 Not only was the casting impeccable, but the throwback episode showed us just how much all the girls take after their hilarious mams. Erin is exactly like young Mary — from the dreams of making a mark on the world to the obsession with boys — and Sarah looked flawless as usual and was as carefree as ever Channel 4 Naturally they all went to Our Lady Immaculate too and the 70s equivalent of Sister Michael was just as terrifying Channel 4 Maybe even more so, TBH. Michelle s mum Diedre was a punk which just makes so much sense Channel 4 Just like Claire young Geraldine was the group s resident worrier Channel 4 And because it isn t Derry Girls without an honorary boy thrown in the girls were joined by Diedre s American cousin Rob who was treated with about the same amount of respect that James gets Channel 4 Which is not that much at all — he’s actually Canadian, proving that when it comes to guys, Derry girls just don't care. Oh and in a surprising twist Jenny s mum was also part of the crew Channel 4 But Jeanette Joyce (formerly O'Shea) had since married a surgeon and started using fancy words like “brunch,” and they’d not spoken to her in years, which is way less of a surprise. Fun fact: The surgeon O'Shea was played by writer Lisa McGee's husband! And of course young Grandpa showed up as protective as ever Channel 4 As this was pre-Jerry, he didn’t have anyone to make digs at, so he just waited for the girls outside. On their last night as students the gang were determined to make the moment last forever getting themselves into some shenanigans that felt oh so familiar Channel 4 And the mums totally proved they're the OG Derry girls. Even though we barely saw our faves fans were loving the throwback episode Keith Doyle @keithmdoyle Just when you think #DerryGirls can't get any better ....?? 08:37 PM - 10 May 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @keithmdoyle @elle@studentviews SFHEA @EStudentviews Well done.

Every one of them captured the mannerisms of their counterparts perfectly. Honestly, just not ready for it to end. 08:47 PM - 10 May 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @ian_sandwell Canadian Fletchy @Darth_Pingu PLEASE do a prequel series!!! #DerryGirls https://t.co/RERJwGmuoG 08:32 PM - 10 May 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @Darth_Pingu herichards @hellizzie To give us this episode without committing to a full prequel series is just twisting the knife with only one episode left. #DerryGirls 08:17 PM - 10 May 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @hellizzie I am Not lisa Simpson ‍ @dollyton81 OMFG #DerryGirls more like #DerryMums and if this Is the pilot for a spin off set in 1977!!!
