If the only way out is death...


Doesnt that means she could have kill herself in some other way without helping anyone to get out of the loop?

It kinda feels that way since she hasnt tried suicide like Phil in groundhog day.

It would've been like the days in which she tried to hide, like when they had the sleepover instead of going to the party. She'd still wake up the next day back to square one.

She wasn't the one most responsible for the suicide girl's bad state. That would've been the leader of the group. But I guess that's part of the point, that you don't have to be the one responsible to help.

reply

well theres no instance of her even thought of committing suicide to escape the loop so it cannot be assumed to have the same effect as avoiding it

reply

If she did attempt suicide, then this would not have been a question.

She didn't, so all we can do is deduce. It does not make sense for suicide to end the loop. If you see some logic in suicide ending it, then explain your reasoning.

My point is it end once she is dead for whatever reason(suicide or not) which did happened at the end.

I don't think it's the death that ends the cycle bcuz they were all going to die anyway from the first car accident.

She had to put herself in someone else's shoes and fix her mistakes and appreciate all the love she has in her life. She sacrificed her life by taking the place of Juliet's accident/suicide and I guess that made Juliet realize that there's more to live for? Finally a person understands her struggles and she had to die in front of her eyes..

I think it's a little ridiculous how it ended.. the only person who learned their lesson is Sam and she died, leaving her parents, little sister, and her friends who will probably think Juliet killed her bcuz she's the last one who saw her.

"her friends who will probably think Juliet killed her bcuz she's the last one who saw her."

This is true. Good point. And it sucks.
