Lets not forget:Bly Manorhas spent more than half of the entire season building up to this moment.
Viola accepts her offer.
(Personally, Im bummed that Quint and Jessel are basically an afterthought here.)
With Viola satisfied, the remaining ghosts at Bly Manor are exorcized.
This time, she decides to spend whatever time she has left with the woman she loves.
Jamie realizes what has happened, and tries to drown herself in the lake as well.
Theres still enough of Dani in Viola that she refuses to take Jamies life as well.
So Jamie is forced to keep living on without Dani.
But whether it works for you or not,Bly Manorisnt interested in closing off every loop here.
Viola clung to existence and became a monster.
Thats a better, truer kind of immortality.
And that might seem like a fitting enough grace note forBly Manor.
Instead, you should immediately go back to the premiere.
And in all the trauma and horror, its clear that she doesnt regret any of it.
Glad we got one quick shot to say goodbye to everybodys favorite hidden ghost, the plague doctor.
The song that plays over the closing scene is I Still Believe, by Sheryl Crow.
In a clever bit of marketing,Netflix put Bly Manor up on Zillow this weekend.
(Unfortunately, its currently off the market.)
Still wondering what happened to Arthur and Isabel Lloyd!
Happy Shocktober, everybody, and thanks for reading!
