Season 1 of Netflix&#039;s crime thriller series &#039;One of Us is Lying&#039; comes to an end, with plot and ending details revealed.

One Of Us Is Lying Ending EXPLAINED &#8211; Whodunit?

One of Us Is Lying, based on Karen M. McManus’ 2017 suspense novel, does a good
job of encapsulating the mystery into eight binge-worthy episodes. It is an
investigated teen thriller that follows four students at Bayview High School.
They are prime suspects in the murder of a classmate who died of anaphylactic
shock, while all five of them are detained on the first day of school after
summer vacation. What follows is a criminal investigation into the murder,
during which these four students form the Murder Club in order to investigate
their classmate’s death and prove their innocence in order to save their future.
So, let’s figure out who murdered Simon Kelleher and why.


ONE OF US IS LYING PLOT SUMMARY

Simon Kelleher, through his self-designed app “About That,” drops a gossip bomb
on the first day of school, just after the summer holidays. He is an outcast
genius of Bayview who dares to accept his true persona, and for the same reason,
he despises his classmates who have secrets they never share. As a result, he
swears to tell the truth regardless of the consequences. Last year, Simon leaked
photos that led to the expulsion of half of the basketball team. This year, he
has targeted four of Bayview’s worst offenders, including A-list topper Bronwyn
Rojas, a famous cheerleader, Adelaide “Addy” Prentiss, a gifted baseball
pitcher, Cooper Clay, and a drug-peddler, Nathaniel “Nate” Macauley.

Ms. Avery, their AP Physics teacher, assigns Simon and four other students to
detention in an obvious Breakfast Club inspired setup. Addy, Nate, Bronwyn, and
Cooper are among the four, each for different reasons. During his detention,
Simon drinks water from a paper cup and dies from anaphylactic shock caused by
his peanut allergy. Detective Wheeler, the investigating officer, suspects that
one of the detainees poisoned Simon’s drink with peanut oil while also removing
EpiPens from his bag and the school infirmary, resulting in his death.


ONE OF US IS LYING SEASON 1: ENDING EXPLAINED

So, what happened to Simon? His plan was to almost die and then be revived by
someone with an extra EpiPen. He had a severe peanut allergy and knew he could
cause it to erupt and frighten everyone in the room. However, he had planned
this sick prank with Jake, and Jake had removed the EpiPens from the nurse’s
office, partly to cover up his own involvement but also to exact revenge on Addy
for cheating on him. Simon had contaminated his own water with peanut oil, but
he had also brought a large supply of life-saving EpiPens. He had no intention
of killing himself.

Jake then murdered Simon and took over his blog after he died. The Bayview Four
eventually piece the puzzle together and realise Jake was Simon’s accomplice,
but when they try to steal Simon’s Xbox, which Jake had taken after his death
because it contained damning evidence against him, he pulls a gun on them.
Following a scuffle, one of the Bayview Four shot Jake, and they all covered up
what happened to him.


SEASON 2 OF ONE OF US IS LYING IS IN THE WORKS

One Of Us Is Lying concludes with the remaining three receiving texts.
Threatening each of them to reveal what they did to Jake, a clear setup for
season 2. In addition, Netflix
