We Were Liars season 1 ending explained
Those who read E. Lockhart's sensational novel We Were Liars before it was adapted by Julie Plec for Prime Video are probably feeling pretty smug right now. The show, just like its source material, is keeping a major secret that isn't revealed until mid-way through the final episode. If you haven't read the book and are feeling majorly WTF, or want to skip to the proverbial last page and get spoiled, here's what you need to know about the ending of We Were Liars. At the beginning of the season, seventeen year old Cadence Sinclair, played by Emily Alyn Lind, returns to her family's private island after sustaining a head injury and post-traumatic amnesia the previous year. Cadence has been struggling to remember what happened during Summer 16–the label that "the liars" she and her cousin Mirren, her cousin Johnny, and her boyfriend (and Johnny's future stepbrother) Gat give to the summer when they were all sixteen years old. She thinks that returning to the island will jog her memory, but everything feels off. Why did her grandfather rebuild their island mansion into an early modern monstrosity? Why didn't her cousins or Gat call her all year while she was recovering? Her mother tells her that every time anyone tells her what happened, she has a mental episode, blacks out and forgets again. This feels a bit convenient, given that the Sinclair family way is to pretend that bad things never happened. In the We Were Liars finale, Cadence works with her cousins and Gat to remember what happened without triggering herself so bad that she forgets it all over again. Leading into the finale, Cadence remembers one key thing: fire. In the penultimate episode, Cadence at least remembers that the liars burned down Clairmont, the family mansion, as a symbolic "f**k you" to decades of family rivalry and expectations. They decide that the Sinclairs need a clean slate. The four liars thought they had a good plan. They split up spreading boat fuel around the house. Gat prepares a getaway vehicle. They were all supposed to light their matches and run out of the house at the stroke of midnight. But the drunk, wealthy teenagers made some crucial, and deadly miscalculations. The first thing that Cadence remembers is that all four of them forgot that there were two drugged-up dogs sleeping in the basement!! The moment Cadence, who was on the ground floor, ran outside she heard their cries. She heads back inside to get them, and sustained a head injury, but it was too late. She ran back outside, bleeding and burning. Cadence demands that Johnny, Gat, and Mirren tell her the rest. What else didn't go to plan? They didn't think about how fast fire spreads and smoke rises. Creating a safe exit by avoiding the main staircase was not enough. Mirren hesitated to save one of her paintings that her mom kept–proving to her in that moment that her mom really did care about her. Johnny hesitated looking at childhood photos and smashing things with a golf club. They were trapped. When nobody showed up, Gat left the boat and followed them inside the burning house. They also forgot about the gas main line. Once the fire spread far enough to hit it, the house exploded. This is what catapulted Cadence into the ocean where she was found. She was the only survivor. Gat, Johnny, Mirren, and the dogs all died in the fire. Yup! For all of the Summer 17 timeline, a.k.a. the scenes where Cadence has brown hair, she has been talking and hanging out and arguing with their ghosts. You may have noticed throughout that while they might try to talk to the rest of them family, nobody else talks to them or sees them. In the final episode, it becomes more and more apparent that they're not just ghosts they like... represent Cadence's trauma and suppressed memories. They are ghosts, though, and ghosts who were afraid of moving on once Cadence didn't need them anymore. So they do it together. They hold hands, jump off the dock, and vanish... One of the final things that Cadence remembers about Summer 16 is that, before she ran out of the house, she hesitated too. Greed took over and she ran upstairs to steal her grandmother's black pearl necklace. She thinks this is why Gat didn't see her outside when they planned and ran into the fire. She blames herself for his death. Ghost Gat absolves her of that guilt. He could have saved himself. He also went against the plan. (Since Cadence ran back inside the house seconds later for the dogs, I personally don't think running upstairs made a huge difference. Gat would have seen her go back inside. He would have seen that Johnny and Mirren didn't make it out and gone to help regardless. Speaking of the dogs, that's the guilt she should be feeling. The four liars made some stupid mistakes that got them killed–the dogs didn't do anything! Go apologise to their ghosts!!) Harris, who somehow escaped the hospital and found Cadence on the beach, kind of softly blackmails his granddaughter. He knows that she's guilty of arson, animal cruelty, and involuntary manslaughter. He urges her to tell the version of the story he has been telling for a year: the fire was an accident and Cadence got hurt trying to save the others. Keeping her family's horrible secrets is her burden now. At the end of the show, Harris asks Cadence to talk to a reporter doing a profile on their family, played by We Were Liars author E. Lockhart herself. Cadence refuses, telling Harris and the family that she's not interested in fairy tales anymore, and takes off in a boat by herself. She tosses Tipper's necklace into the ocean like it's Titanic. This is a triumphant moment and all; I'm so happy that Cadence came to that realisation, but... surely that doesn't mean she's going to turn herself in to the police, or come clean to her mum, Ed, and her aunts about how the other liars died? It's fair to assume that Harris won't actually do it himself and voluntarily hurt his legacy like that. But Cadence is experiencing a moment of freedom at the end of We Were Liars, not a lifetime of it. She's ultimately trapped too. The We Were Liars finale leaves things open for at least one other season in two different ways. In one of the rare moments we see the Sinclair sisters actually deal with the loss of their children, Bess tells Carrie that she thinks the fire was punishment for what happened on her Summer 16 when they were teenagers. Bess says that there's just one caveat: if the Sinclair sisters are being punished for what they did, why was Penny spared? Mysterious! (There is a prequel novel, titled Family of Liars, that was published in 2022...) Then, in an even more harrowing moment, we see Carrie secretly take pills while packing up to leave the island. She's off the wagon and hiding it from Ed. She can also see Johnny's ghost, who tells her he can't leave just yet. The way she says "I thought you'd left" lowkey implies that she's been seeing his ghost, like Cadence, the whole time during Summer 17 too. That's enough unfinished business for a We Were Liars Season two, don't you think? We Were Liars is available on Prime Video now

We Were Liars – Season 1 Episode 7 'Everybody Knows That The Captain Lied' Recap & Review
Episode 7 Episode 7 of We Were Liars begins in Summer 17. Instead of being happy for our couple, Mirren tries to tell Cady to leave Gat alone. Before Cady can ask why, Bonnie shows up and asks for a horror story. Cady tells her to ask Mirren and she finds it funny. Harris calls Cady away for a visit in town. He accepts that he has made mistakes with his daughters and declares Cady as Sinclair's hope. In Summer 16, he is drafting his will. Bess sends the little ones to Brody while the rest get ready to sway Harris. Penny baits Cady that if she wants to save the world, she needs Harris' money so she needs to be on her best behaviour. Carrie is flustered as she reminds Johnny to be good. He tries to come out to her, hinting that he is not Sinclair good. She tells him to put a pin on it till the next day. Will assures Johnny that he is good and he is touched. Mirren notices the tell-tale signs of Bess' adulterous activities and is annoyed. However, Bess compliments her hair. The Liars miss Gat and smoke up before facing the family. Lunch begins. Harris is glad that Ed and Gat are gone, so it can just be the Sinclairs now. But he gets upset on learning the little ones are with Brody and calls him a criminal. He unwittingly targets Mirren and Bess decides to take the rest down. She mentions Carrie's drug addiction, Johnny's assault and even Penny's divorce. Angry, Carrie reveals Bess' affair with Dan. To grab back control, Harris forces Penny to have a lemon tart and an upset Cady starts provoking him. She comments that lemons are a sign of colonisation and keeps mentioning Gat. Johnny joins in, mentioning Ed. The sisters judge Carrie for dumping Ed for no reason. Overwhelmed, she lets it slip that she didn't have a choice. Cady figures out that Harris gave Carrie an ultimatum – the inheritance or Ed. Having had enough, Harris reveals that the will is final and they won't be getting their inheritance. He storms out and Cady goes after him, calling him a racist. He tries to defend himself but he falls and hits his head. The ambulance helicopter is for him. Penny tells Cady to find the will and burn it if it doesn't favour them. There is only one spot in the helicopter and Penny grabs it. Annoyed, Bess packs his things. Mirren doesn't understand why she is mean to her sisters. Bess rants that she was the good daughter while her sisters constantly messed up. She did everything her family wanted and never put herself first. Turns out she hates Boston yet she stayed close for Harris' sake after all. But he only notices when she messes up. (Sounds familiar.) Johnny is upset about Harris' treatment of Ed and wants solace in Carrie but she keeps searching for something. Conceding, he gives her pills back. He knows she has relapsed as it is how she dealt with his abusive father. He wishes she would talk to him and she insists on putting a pin on it till the next day. With Bess and Carrie leaving for the hospital, the Liars send the staff home and get drunk. Gat finally arrives and they all hug. They have fun as they drink and clean up. Mirren is tired of being a people pleaser like her mom and cuts her hair. Gat doesn't want to leave Cady. When he lost his dad, he would hide in a nook to get away from reality. He thanks her for saving him. She feels that Beechwood is a nook for her family and he writes down the devil motto on her hand. Johnny does the Tom Cruise-Risky Business dance and accidentally breaks an illegal ivory statue. Mirren breaks the second one and they laugh. The sisters call to update that Harris is fine. But since he never got himself checked up, his scans show early dementia. They hang up as Harris has run off. The dishwasher overflows and ruins the expensive rugs. The Liars laugh and reminisce about the good times. The mood dampens as they accept that Harris is racist and their family is a mess. In retaliation, Cady burns Harris' will. We also learn the contents – Bess gets the Boston house and they wonder if Harris knows she hates Boston. Carrie and Penny get a stipend as long as they stay single. And Cady gets the Beechwood Island. They want to cause more trouble to flout the Sinclair motto of burying their issues. Cady suggests doing something so big that it is difficult to cover up. She looks at Clairmont and declares that it is the source of their problems, built on a foundation of hate. At the end of We Were Liars Episode 7, Summer 17 Cady realises that they burned down the house. Johnny and Mirren comfort her. The Episode Review The show's budget for the music must be wild because if one thing they did right, it is the soundtrack album. It's got a whole lot of Hozier, Khalid, HAIM, Conan Gray and alt-J among others. And we are bringing up the music because this episode's highlight, without a doubt, is Johnny dancing to 'Old Time Rock and Roll'. If you weren't pumped for Zada as young Haymitch in the new Hunger Games prequel, you will be now with the range he shows as Johnny. Hozier's 'Eat Your Young' is a nice touch when the Liars make a mess of Clairmont. But it is a little disappointing given that this poignant anti-capitalist song is used for such a shallow and performative storyline. Despite burning the will and the house and ruining expensive carpets, the Liars don't actually change anything. Clairmont stands even uglier and stronger. Harris can just rewrite his old will. The sisters will continue to bicker. And the only one who will most likely get in trouble is Gat. Just like he pointed out how the ethnic help was often fired for the kids' mistakes. We had hoped the racist and classist storyline would head somewhere different from the books. But by being a faithful adaptation, the book's weakness becomes the show's weakness.

Unpacking the crazy twist ending of ‘We Were Liars': What really happened?
We Were Liars dropped on Prime Video June 18, and while it features gorgeous beach houses, family drama and romantic tension à la The Summer I Turned Pretty, it's the jaw-dropping twist ending that is the buzziest thing about the series. As the Season 1 ending revealed, something horrible happened to 'Liars' Gat (Shubham Maheshwari), Mirren (Esther McGregor) and Johnny (Joseph Zada) — which is why Cadence (Emily Alyn Lind), the show's narrator, had to suppress it. (Warning: Obviously, major spoilers for We Were Liars follow!) The ending won't come as a surprise to anyone who read E. Lockhart's novel of the same name, which follows the wealthy Sinclair family as they spend yet another summer on the fictional Beechwood Island. But even if you've read the novel, the story is still as heartbreaking as ever: What starts out as a summer of fun turns into the ultimate tragedy … with a supernatural twist. When the series begins, Cadence, the eldest grandchild of the Sinclair family, is crushing on family friend Gat — a relationship that finally blooms during her 16th summer on Beechwood. She, Gat and her cousins Johnny and Mirren — nicknamed the 'Liars' by their family — initially enjoy weeks of summer fun. However, when Cadence's grandmother Tipper (Wendy Crewson) dies, things shift, and tensions over inheritance emerge between the parents and the powerful, wealthy grandfather Harris (David Morse). The following year, which the show toggles back and forth between, reveals that something mysterious and terrible happened to the family in the final weeks of the previous summer. Cadence was in a some sort of accident at the end of her 16th summer that she can't remember, and none of the other Liars, nor her other family members, will tell her what happened. In fact, they didn't even visit her in the hospital — something they apologize for when she comes to spend the summer on Beechwood again. Cadence is desperate to learn what happened to her, despite everyone warning her that she doesn't want to know. Even Cadence's own mind seems to be hiding the truth: Every time Cadence gets close to finding out what happened, she's hit with a migraine or worse, which is why her mother Penny (Caitlin FitzGerald) forbids her from seeking answers. But as the summer progresses, memories surface, and Cadence starts to recall events from the previously forgotten summer. After a season of red herrings and wrong turns, Cadence's memories finally patch together, revealing what happened to her — and why. Over the course of her 16th summer, Cadence saw her mother, Penny, as well as her aunts Bess (Candice King) and Carrie (Mamie Gummer) fight for their father's affection — and, ultimately, money, as each woman had squandered their trust fund over the years and needed financial help. Seeing how the women fought over the heirlooms Harris dangled over their heads, the Liars decided to do something to end the squabbling. Cadence, who spent the season checking her privilege after deepening her relationship with Gat, came up with a plan. One night, while the Liars were alone on the island, they decided to burn down Harris's mansion, Clairmont. Their hope was that destroying Clairmont would force their mothers to see that family — not things —is what's most important. And since it was only the Liars on the island, they thought they could get away with arson without anyone getting hurt. Cadence led the charge to burn down Clairmont. While the Liars had a plan, they didn't foresee the things that would keep them tied up in the house — like getting distracted by the very same objects that their mothers were fighting over. Cadence, for example, went back for her deceased grandmother's pearls — something she feels terribly guilty about and struggles to even explain. While Cadence was able to get out of the house in time after the fire started, she didn't realize that the family's golden retrievers were stuck in the laundry room. Cadence desperately tried to get the dogs out, burning her hand in the process — but it was too late. Cadence ran out onto the beach towards the ocean. Then, an explosion: Clairmont's gas line caught fire, destroying the house in one boom. Tragically, Gat, Mirren and Johnny — as well as the dogs — were still inside. In the season finale, Cadence realizes that Gat, Mirren and Johnny are dead. While she was having conversations with them over the summer, no one else in the family could see them, and via flashbacks, it's shown that they never truly interacted with anyone other than Cadence over the course of the summer. Cadence gets to say goodbye to each of the Liars, who are regretful over the choice they made to destroy Clairmont — even as her grandfather used his power and privilege to ensure that she and the other Liars would never be blamed for the fire. But while Cadence is sorry for the way she went about dismantling the toxic family structure, it's clear that burning down Clairmont achieve some of what the Liars hoped for: Their mothers are now on the same team again, and Cadence is able to stand up to her powerful grandfather for the first time ever. The season finale initially leaves it open to interpretation if the Liars are ghosts or just figments of Cadence's mind until the last moments of the season, when Johnny appears in the kitchen with his mother, Carrie. Carrie, who isn't surprised to see Johnny, asks her son why he's still in the house, and Johnny admits that he's unable to leave — hinting that the Liars, or at the very least Johnny, are still haunting Beechwood Island. We don't know yet if We Were Liars will be renewed. But if the source material is any indication, a Season 2 would likely follow Cadence's story in yet another direction: into the past. Lockhart's 2022 novel, Family of Liars, is a prequel that explores the moms' backstory. Co-creator Julie Plec previously told Deadline that the Season 1 finale could 'set the stage for Season 2, which theoretically is going to take us deeper into the moms' lives as well and add another generation to the story.' Season 1 already hinted at a well of secrets for the Sinclair women, including the fact that there was a fourth sister who died during their childhood. In the finale, Bess muses that what happened to Mirren and Johnny could be punishment for what happened all those years ago. It's entirely possible that this mystery will unfold next on We Were Liars — as the ghosts of the past, literal and figurative, come back to haunt Beechwood.

David Morse: 'We Were Liars' is modern-day 'King Lear'
1 of 5 | "We Were Liars" -- starring left to right Caitlin FitzGerald, David Morse, Wendy Crewson, Mamie Gummer and Candice King -- premieres Wednesday. Photo courtesy of Prime Video NEW YORK, June 18 (UPI) -- The Last Thing He Told Me, Outsiders and John Adams actor David Morse says he sees a glimmer of William Shakespeare's doomed patriarch King Lear in Harris Sinclair, the character he plays in the new series We Were Liars. The adaptation of E. Lockhart's best-selling young adult novel premieres on Prime Video Wednesday. It follows teen Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind), who summers with her cousins and friends on her grandfather Harris' New England private island. Vying for Harris' attention are his adult daughters Bess (Candice King), Penny (Caitlin FitzGerald) and Carrie (Mamie Gummer). "It was hard not to see it that way a little bit, not that I could really go down that road, but it definitely had those parallels, especially because he's -- and it's one of the reasons I wanted to do this and nobody in the story knows it -- but he has dementia in the future," Morse, 71, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "He can feel it coming and there's a kind of a clock ticking for him," the actor said. "There's things that he wants to get done before he's really gone and it makes him very vulnerable and touching to me and unexpected in a character like this. So, in that way, I suppose it's like King Lear." Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass and Haunting of Bly Manor alum Rahul Kohi, 39, plays Carrie's boyfriend Ed, while Shubham Maheshwari portrays Gat, Ed's nephew and Cadence's love interest. Ed is one of the only men in the family to hold his own with Harris and his daughters. "They're the best of friends," Kohi quipped about Ed and his demanding future father-in-law. "They're very similar. They're both protecting their families in very different ways. Harris is, obviously, the way he is through wanting to protect his family and Ed endures what he endures from Harris in order to protect his family. So, they're kind of mirroring each other, but coming at it from different ways." One reason they clash, however, is their perspectives on wealth. Harris has always had money and takes it for granted, while Ed and Gat know how hard it is for regular folk to live without it. "It's been a part of his life for so long," Morse said about his millions. "His daughters do not handle their wealth well and he really has a hard time with that because he feels he has taken care of it extremely well and expected them to do the same and they have not done the same," he added. "So, he's actually looking for someone to do a better job with it and he focuses on Cadence, who is the central character in the story." A bit of an outsider who is always trying to prove himself, Ed is wary when Gat begins a romance with Cadence. "Gat, in some way, could be potentially walking the same path as Ed," Kohi said. "Ed's not his father, obviously. He's his nephew, but I feel like, at this point, with what Gat's going through, it felt the most fatherly Ed had to become in order to help him navigate what he was going through, through an experience that, obviously, Ed is dealing with himself." Kohi said he was excited about his scenes with Maheshwari from the show's table read until the cameras started rolling. "Those kind of 'Rocky Balboa' pep talks were some of my favorite to do," he added. "I remember the table reads. They were great. They went down well and I was really excited to film them and they exceeded my expectations."
