Final scene? **SPOILERS**


I caught this movie only once, but was very tired while watching, I may not have picked up on the final scene and what it's meant to imply. I understood everything until the very end. After Grace kills her husband, because she says Janet will get the blame, what does the final scene show? Isn't it something along the lines of Henry dead on the bed with Janet's doll next to him, and the phone off the hook? Yet, Janet never did escape...or did she?

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, Janet never escaped indeed, it was a frame-up plot by Janet's teacher, the housekeeper and the chauffeur to trap Grace. When all is explained by them to Grace, at the end, we learn that Janet, still at the clinic, recovers very well and will be ok in few weeks.
I hope it helps you ^_^
