After trying to cover up their involvement, members Anya and Lisbeth both struggle as strange visions and miracles hit the Lions dance troupe along with the town at large. It's not long before some are convinced that Grace might in fact be a saint.
Do the Lions go out with a roar or does it all go to hell? And what the hell is really happening to Grace? Here's everything you need to know about the ending of The Body and how season one sets up a potential second season.
The Body ending explained: What's really going on with Grace?
And then there's Maddie. Unlike the others, she stands by her vision, fully believing that Grace must be a saint. The convulsions she experiences upon seeing her best friend also suggest something more might be at play, although it's worth remembering that Maddie had been starving herself prior to Regionals, so that could have played a role in her experience too.
Do things work out for Elise and Anya?
Anya eventually cracks, kissing Elise while drunk in a hot tub. But even then, she pretends that it's all just a show for her boyfriend Steven rather than what she actually desires.
At the end, Elise tells Steven what Anya did, breaking the trust between them all.
"Grace was dead. Like dead dead," Lisbeth told the Lions. "Then I laid my hand on her chest and I heard God speak to me. I don’t want to be dramatic, but I think I resurrected her…"
What happens to Grace at the end?
Just as the circumstances around that fateful night spiral completely out of control, The Body body-slams us with one more giant revelation.
And those words are: "I am God."
“There’s a little wink at the end,” teased co-showrunner Gina Gammell in an interview with Tudum.
"I find moments like that really difficult because you want it to feel really weighty, you want it to land, and it’s a lot of pressure because if it doesn’t, then it’s so cringey. I was like, 'Everyone in this show is so good and jaw-dropping, I cannot ruin the last moment of this season.'"
"It really foreshadows Grace’s perspective coming into the center," added Shephard.
Is Grace actually God?
Speaking to Tudum, Shephard explained that the truth behind these religious occurrences is very much open to interpretation: "Everything that happens that has a supernatural theory in the show should always have a counterpart with a totally grounded medical or scientific explanation."
However, there is also a version of this show where God and the Devil exist, just as the Catholics at the heart of the story would attest. As such, instances of possession and saintly healing could indeed be genuine if The Body decides to go down that route.
"Quinn’s explanation is something I’d love to keep under wraps," says Wylie, "because I think the beauty of the show is that it stays within the mystery, whether it’s medical or spiritual."
Regardless of what the truth might be, many people in the town will undoubtedly view Grace as a saint once she wakes. It's a story the church will be keen to perpetuate, assuming The Body does in fact return for a second season.
