Don't let the name of this new Netflix thriller fool you. His & Hers is anything but romantic, driven by dark desires that result in a dangerous game of cat and mouse between two exes.
Personal trauma ripped their marriage apart a year prior, but when a woman is brutally murdered in their Atlanta hometown, Anna returns to investigate and salvage her career. The problem is Jack might have been the one who killed her…
His & Hers ending explained
Five episodes in, time is running out for Jack. After dodging his detective colleague Priya Patel (Sunita Mani) all season, the evidence is stacking up against him. But does he care? No, not after he finds his sister Zoe (Marin Ireland) murdered in the bathtub. Yep, what might have been a red Lush bathbomb turns out to be her blood, which is now all over Jack.
The final episode of His & Hers starts with a flashback where Lexy, back when she was known as Catherine, goes on a family boat trip. Sounds cute, right? Sadly no, because it's not long before Catherine's sister starts poking fun at her weight. In response, Catherine does what anyone would do and deliberately uses up the medicine in Andrea's inhaler so she won't be able to use it when she needs it most.
We then cut back to the present where Anna has just realised the truth about Lexy/Catherine (despite knowing both versions of her for many, many years). The problem is she's only just realised now while she's in Lexy's house after her husband Richard (Pablo Schreiber) led Anna there in the previous episode…
Anna calls Jack for help, but he's a bit tied up with finding the corpse of his sister. Still, he comes anyway when Anna reveals the danger she's in, pointing out that Lexy must have been the one who killed Zoe (not to mention Rachel and Helen too).
Meanwhile, Richard has cottoned on to the fact that Anna has called for help, which is far from ideal. The fact they regularly work together – and do a lot more together – doesn't stop him from having a go at Anna. Scared, she manages to grab the concealed gun in her bag and shoot at him in the house, but then the bullets quickly run out, so Anna locks him in another room.
Patel was knocked out too, by Jack, and now wakes up outside his house with police back-up checking to see if she's alright.
There's also a great line about drinking piss which I'd argue is Emmy-worthy.
Anna's tooth comes out in the resulting fight, so she hits Lexy mad as hell and they fall through a glass table. It's not really a TV fight unless someone falls through a glass table.
We suddenly cut to dawn the next day as Jack and Anna sit together and talk while the police clear up everything around them.
"Rachel was the ringleader, but Helen and Zoe knew about it too," says Anna, who then describes how she and Lexy were led into the woods on Anna's 16th birthday. It was supposed to be a party, but then men showed up after Rachel had sent them photos of the girls.
This story is horrific, but Anna and Jack have been through their own fair share of trauma already following the loss of their baby last year. It's no surprise then that they'd reconnect in this moment, sharing a kiss after baring their all to each other.
One year later, it sure does seem that way. Anna has got her old job back, she's pregnant with Jack's baby, and they're also raising Meg together as a family. Finally, they've managed to claw back what was stolen from them following the loss of their first child.
Anna begins narrating again, like she usually does at the start of every episode. But this time, the words are familiar. In fact, these are the same lines we've heard across the five episodes prior to this one. Lazy writing? No. Because it turns out that these were never Anna's words. It was simply Anna reading the words of someone else, someone very close to her.
That doesn't become clear though until the narration suddenly changes from Anna's voice to the voice of Anna's mother, Alice (Crystal Fox). And the change happens right as she says the word "killing".
As detailed in the letter, Alice looks back with pride at everything Anna had accomplished, including the birth of her baby Charlotte. But when Charlotte died in Alice's care, all she had left of Anna were old video tapes. She'd watch them daily, and regularly visit Charlotte's grave hoping her daughter might return home.
Six months into Anna's absence, Alice finally gets round to watching one last video tape of her on Anna's 16th birthday. The celebrations quickly turn to horror though as Alice watches and discovers that Anna was sexually assaulted by the men in the woods too, who committed the vile act as so-called friends like Rachel watched and laughed. They even sing "Happy Birthday" during the assault, which is one of the most disturbing things you'll see happen on TV this year.
"No one expects a woman to be a serial killer," says Alice, pointing out that some of her suspicious actions were quickly written off as signs of dementia. "That’s the thing about older folks. Like back doors and the workers who use them, we’re usually forgotten, ignored, invisible."
But that works to Alice's advantage. "Year after year after year. Same locks, same doors, same keys. They could’ve stopped me, but we see what we want to see, even when the truth is right in front of us."
"Killing Rachel brought you home," adds Alice. "Killing Helen kept you here, and killing Zoe gave you the family you lost."
But before the show ends, presumably for good, Alice reveals why she's written this letter to Anna.
Anna looks up at her mother then with tears of disbelief as Alice hangs out with the rest of the family in another room. But Alice sees Anna watching and watches back, knowingly.
