His & Hers Finale Delivers Jaw-Dropping Twist
Fans of the hit OTT series His & Hers are reeling from an unexpected revelation in the dramatic finale. The show, which premiered in 2026, wraps up its six-episode run with a shocking twist that completely redefines the murder mystery.
The Setup: A Homicide Reunites Estranged Couple
Adapted from Alice Feeney's gripping mystery novel, His & Hers stars Tessa Thompson and John Bernthal as Anna Andrews and Jack Harper. They play an estranged married couple unexpectedly brought back together by a homicide in their hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia.
The series follows their investigation into a string of murders targeting Anna's former high school friends. By the midpoint of the finale, it appears the killer has been identified.
The Red Herring: Lexy Jones Takes the Blame
Investigators believe Lexy Jones, an Atlanta TV anchor whose real name is Catherine Kelly, is responsible for the killings. Lexy was an unpopular girl on the periphery of Anna's high school friend group.
The evidence suggests Lexy has been murdering her now-adult high school tormentors in Dahlonega, with Anna as her next intended victim. Police officer Priya, Jack's partner on the force, uses her quick shooting skills to save Anna's life and apparently foil Lexy's homicidal schemes.
For a full year following these events, everyone believes the case is closed. Then Anna receives devastating news that changes everything.
The Real Killer Emerges in Final Minutes
In the last sixteen minutes of Episode 6, the truth finally surfaces. Anna discovers that Lexy was never the murderer at all. Instead, her own mother Alice confesses to the crimes in a detailed letter addressed to Anna.
Alice acknowledges killing each of Anna's former high school friends. She murdered Rachel in the woods shortly after Anna discovered Rachel was sleeping with Jack. Alice then killed Helen and Zoe before carefully framing Lexy as the murderer by planting evidence at her home.
Why Alice Framed Lexy
Alice knew about Lexy's traumatic past and recognized she had a strong motive for revenge. This made Lexy the perfect scapegoat. By planting evidence in Lexy's home and letting police believe Lexy was targeting her former tormentors, Alice ensured she could complete her revenge without raising suspicion.
The Mother's Motive Revealed
As Anna reads her mother's confessional letter, she comes to understand the terrible truth. Alice committed the murders for Anna. The killings served dual purposes: they wreaked vengeance on the people who hurt Anna decades earlier, and they brought Anna back home to reunite her family.
Alice was shattered when she learned what happened to Anna twenty years ago, when her daughter was just sixteen. The revelation that one of Anna's friends fled the scene while three others enjoyed her misery filled Alice with furious determination. She resolved to get justice for her daughter, no matter the cost.
The Final Moment Speaks Volumes
In the closing seconds of His & Hers, Anna and Alice share a wordless look that conveys volumes. According to series director and writer William Oldroyd, this moment suggests Anna has developed a deep appreciation for what her mother has done for her, despite the horrific nature of the crimes.
The series concludes with this morally complex revelation, leaving viewers to ponder the lengths a mother will go to protect her child from past trauma.
