Stay Close: The Crime Drama Miniseries’ Ending EXPLAINED

Netflix’s new thriller Stay Close has gained a lot of popularity in a short
amount of time. The series, based on Harlan Coben’s book of the same name,
revolves around the search for a teenager and how it uncovers and leads to
several deaths. After a while, it gets difficult to keep up with the plot.
Here’s the ending of Stay Close explained.




WHAT IS STAY CLOSE ABOUT?

Stay Close [https://www.netflix.com/title/81289581] is about the intertwined
lives of Megan, Ray, Detective Michael Broome, and Lorraine Griggs. The film
begins with influential businessman Del Flynn, looking for his missing son
Carlton Flynn. While the police, including Detective Broome, are doing all in
their power to solve the case, Del isn’t quite satisfied. As a result, he hires
a theatrical assassin duo- Ken and Barbie.

While they were not directly involved with the plot even until the very end, Ken
and Barbie had their own agenda. Through the course of the Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] series, alone were responsible for a
number of deaths. The duo killed 3 people and then ended up dead themselves.


WHAT HAPPENED TO STEWART GREEN?

Serving as the point of connection between Megan, Ray, and Broome is Stewart
Green. 17 years before the timeline viewers see, Megan went by the name of
Cassie and was an exotic dancer. She was in a relationship with Ray. The couple
was suspected of having robbed Green, an abusive man who was obsessed with
Cassie.

Cassie later discovers that Stewart Green was, in fact, killed. Both Ray and
Cassie suspect each other to be the murderer. Following this, Cassie rebuilt her
entire self, unbeknownst to Ray, and came to be known as Megan.


STAY CLOSE ENDING TWIST: A SERIAL KILLER ON THE LOOSE?

As all Harlan Coben stories do, Stay Close ends with a plot twist that makes
viewers question their entire perception of the series. It turns out that all of
these killings could be traced back to one person. As Detective Broome had
suspected, a serial killer had been on the loose ever since Stewart Green’s
disappearance.

The person behind these killings and many others that we don’t witness on the
screens is Lorraine Griggs. The owner of the Vipers nightclub had been killing
men at every carnival.


STAY CLOSE ENDING TWIST PART 2: WHAT HAPPENED TO CARLTON FLYNN?

Making a full circle, the ending of Stay Close comes back to the question it
began with. The person whose disappearance caused the uncovering of these
secrets is Carlton Flynn, i.e. the teenager who went missing during the
carnival. Although Lorraine admitted to murdering him, we uncover a new secret.
Actually, it was Megan who uncovered it right on her wedding day. Remember what
we told you about Harlan Coben and his infamous ending twists? This is it.

On the night of the Carnival, Carlton befriends Megan’s teenage daughter
Kayleigh Shaw. Shaw and her friend hit it off with Carlton but the friend soon
uncovers that Carlton spiked their drink. She quickly exchanged the drinks and
so Carlton ends up drugged.

Kayleigh leads him back to his own car and locks him in the boot. In an act of
hysteria, the two young girls steal Carlton’s car. Dave, Kayleigh’s father, and
Megan’s husband is under the impression that the only thing his daughter has
done is steal a car. In order to hide what seems like petty theft, he dumps the
car into a lake, not knowing the fact that a drugged Carlton is locked up inside
it.

And so we have concluded the ending of Stay Close to the best of our abilities.
This Netflix Original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] miniseries
is certainly as confusing as it is thrilling. What are your thoughts?
