&#8216;Purple Hearts&#8217; Ending Explained : What Was the Reason Behind Johnna’s Betrayal?

Purple Hearts is a Netflix romantic drama, with shockingly high stakes at the
end. This marriage of convenience puts both Cassie (Sofia Carson) and Luke
(Nicholas Galitzine) in danger in some way. The odds are stacked against them.
Also, it appears doubtful that things will go their way at the conclusion of the
film. By the conclusion of Purple Hearts, the love between Luke and Cassie is
able to transcend all obstacles, but the joyful ending comes with some
uncertainties.

Purple Heart‘s two protagonists, Cassie, a struggling singer, and Luke, a
soldier, have worldviews and lives that are very different. Cassie needed health
insurance to adequately manage her diabetes. Luke needed the additional money to
pay off a debt from an old conflict. Their blossoming relationship is put in
jeopardy when the truth about their marriage is revealed, as the borders between
phony and genuine feelings begin to blur.

ENDING OF PURPLE HEARTS: EXPLAINED!

By the end of the film, everything that could go wrong has. Luke’s former drug
dealer, Johnno, has been using the truth about Luke and Cassie’s marriage as a
way to get money from Luke for the whole movie. Cassie is upset that Luke didn’t
tell her the truth about his past, which led to Johnno threatening Cassie’s
mother.

Because of this, Cassie breaks up with Luke and kicks him out of their
apartment. Luke is then charged with fraud and tried by an MP. It is possible
that Cassie could also be tried as a civilian for her part in what she and Luke
did. In the end, Cassie and Luke’s love is stronger than the impossible odds
they are up against. Even though the end of their story is pretty clear, there
are still some unclear parts.

But there are still a few questions regarding the end that might bother you.
Let’s see what could be the possible explanation for them.


WHAT CAUSES CASSIE TO RETURN TO LUKE AT THE END OF PURPLE HEARTS?

Cassie’s reaction to Luke pleading guilty at the trial for her role in the
conspiracy that led to their marriage is evident. After the trial and the
beginning of Luke’s imprisonment, she rewatched their wedding video before her
performance to remind herself of him. Cassie sings “I Didn’t Know,” a Purple
Hearts song she composed about her growing love for Luke, during the event.

Cassie’s singing and delivery get notably more passionate during “I Didn’t
Know.” She learns that she truly does love Luke as she sings it. A few minutes
before he is hauled into custody to carry out his sentence, Cassie goes to visit
Luke after her show is over. Before Luke is taken from them, they come to terms
with the fact that their marriage was, in fact, true.

WHY DOES LUKE PLEAD GUILTY IN THE END?

Luke was guilty of getting married to Chrissy just for convenience. He’s already
remorseful for what’s happened. Since it was his troubled history that placed
Cassie and her mother in danger and led to the revelation of the truth about
their marriage. By presenting a statement before the trial claiming he pressured
Cassie into an unlawful marriage, Luke is trying to make up for his actions and
his increasing emotions for her. A dishonorable discharge and a six-month term
await Luke if he admits guilt in order to rescue Cassie.

On the surface, Purple Hearts seems to be a love story. The Netflix film is
fundamentally about the benefits of expanding one’s horizons and embracing new
experiences in order to become one’s best self. Love can flourish even between
the most improbable of topics, as Purple Hearts’ conclusion demonstrates,
despite its challenges.
