I just want to make sure I understood the ending. So the stepson doesn't die and he was a team with his mother in killing his father (because it indicated it was her car that killed him). So now what? Were the two of them going to go back to her house and attack her again? I apologize for sounding stupid, but I wasn't sure what the ending indicated was going to happen next.
It was still a pretty good movie, especially for Lifetime.
The stepson was talking to his stepmother saying that his dad had an affair, so I would say that he and his mother were both jealous cause the dad cared more of his new wife than his ex and his son.
shareI had the same questions. What *I* don't get is how the stepson is not behind bars awaiting trial. He was clobbered by Donna in the head with that heavy weight and down for the count. Presumably, the authorities came by shortly after (since she'd dialed 911) and arrested him. So how is he in a car with his mother a few days later at the graveyard after the funeral scene? I guess I'm really missing something, because I see this as a major implausibility.
shareHis biological mother paid for his bail. When he gets in her car he thanks her for paying his bail.
shareBut what was the point of establising that the stepson was out on bail?
The only thing I can think of is that the producers want to do a sequel in which the stepson again menaces his stepmother.
I thought it was a silly ending. They have him on attempted murder of his stepmother and her friend. Suspicion of murder of his father and the attorney, not to mention false imprisonment and battery of his stepmother, how could they possibly set bail for him?
sharehe probably should have been deported to guam.🇬🇺
