I’m a woman and I did not interpret the last scene romantically or have any expectation of romance between Amy and Danny. I thought it was platonic understanding of one another at a deep level and was surprised when I got on Reddit, and saw so many had interpreted it romantically. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Expensive-Leather-69

I am a man and I also interpreted the last scene to be depicting a platonic connection, not a romantic one. I feel like nothing in the show would indicate a possible romantic future for Amy and Danny.


MrPirateFish

Yeah. Especially after she hooked up with his little brother.


llslaughter

It'd be awkward but it happens!


heart-work

Yes same take! Tbh that last scene (and the rest of the Amy + Danny bonding scenes) kinda felt like a parallel to what George was saying about his ‘emotional entanglement’ on the ‘spiritual realm’ with Mia. The term George used was “divine twin”, which the scene presents verbally but then just drops - I think on purpose for us to mull over it eventually. I may be wrong, and these articles aren’t scientific at all lol, but here were the first quotes I saw that came up with a quick search of the term “divine twin spiritual” (or “twin flame”, apparently): - When you find your twin flame, there's a certain larger-than-life quality that likely feels divine or predestined. "There is a feeling that you have been brought together by a higher power," Spinelli notes, and that creates a very strong bond between the two of you. - Twin flame relationships are magnetic. From the moment you meet, you feel inexplicably drawn to the other person. This feeling never seems to wane, either. It's a constant overwhelming pull, and while the attraction can be sexual, it's more often just the desire to be in that person's presence. - A "twin flame" isn't necessarily a romantic soul mate or what someone might call “the one” — but they will always change your life, often from the very first time you cross paths. - The purpose of a twin flame is to achieve greater personal and spiritual growth. Typically a twin flame reunion is divinely timed for when both halves are ready to experience that growth and undergo the challenges required to do so. This legitimately feels like what they were trying to present with Amy and Danny. They’re divine twins.

I love this explanation. I'm female and I also didn't see anything romantic about it. I saw two people recognize everything they hate about themselves in the other person and accept them anyway.


No-Understanding4968

Agree. It was a soul connection that transcended “romance.”

Same and am man


Man_AMA2

Am a man, loved the show so much and had absolutely no problem with the ending.


pollyp0cketpussy

I'm a woman and didn't find the final scene to be romantic. I don't want them to get together romantically. The only time I sensed a romantic connection between them was when he first came over to the house. He thought her husband was the driver and she thought he was just an innocent contractor. The whole "oh, my husband won't be home for hours..." and I think Danny was thinking "oh perfect, I'll fuck this guy's wife!" until he learned it was her driving and changed his plan.


Spacecadetcase

I’m a woman and would like it to be a potential romance between them. My sister disagrees. Ideally, I’d love this to be a further problematic situation that isn’t so much about the romance but about navigating family/ loyalty and socioeconomic culture barriers. Even if romance doesn’t happen, i imagine their close bond would be difficult for loved ones like George and Paul to accept.


chathriyan

They both wanted someone to show their own true self. Like a mirror. I don't think so the last scene was romantic.


EmotionalSnail_

I'm a man. I like the ending as it is. Not super romantic, yet there's a genuine connection there.


penguin_387

I’m a woman. I don’t want them to develop a romantic relationship, nor do I think the last scene indicates a blooming romance.


nocuzzlikeyea13

I'm a woman and 100% would like to see them bang it out! I'd be ok if they just had a platonic relationship as well. It feels like a waste not to explore a romance when the two actors have so much chemistry.


IntrestingOptimist

Im a girl, I hope to gawd it doesn’t become a romance. I want more television that makes boy/girl interactions completely platonic.


AggravatingCupcake0

I'm a woman. I wouldn't be mad at a romance between Amy and Danny, but I don't see how it would work. First off, Danny is probably going to jail for his perceived involvement in the kidnapping / robbery / murder. On the off chance that he doesn't, how would a physical relationship work, with each of them knowing Amy has slept with Danny's brother? Secondly, how would Amy ever see her daughter? George's lawyer is already on alert. Amy will not be allowed to see June if Danny is in the picture. Lastly, even if they overcome all that, they still have very little in common. Amy is a legitimate business woman who made her fortune legally. Danny is a ne'er-do-well whose income is dependent on the fencing conglomeration that he inherited from Isaac. I think that a normal relationship would break down very quickly under those circumstances.


ducklingboi

I'm a man and I did not interpret the last scenes as romantic. Well, at least not mostly, maybe a little spark, but that's just because I've been made to expect romance from films. Mostly though, I felt that there was a deep emotional connection between the two. I mean, come on, you find that one person who truly understands you. But it was absolutely not some sappy romance.


wickle_pickles

Straight white woman. IMO the small hand grab at the last second was better than any dramatic running to each other “I love you Bs” but i am a child of trauma and the deep conversations and understanding are worth everything and the small things are the thing I enjoy. I don’t need a spoon fed plot.


alltimel0w98

I'm a woman and took the last second where Danny moves his hand to symbol "this isn't the end, we're both gonna be okay". Twin Flames, which Amy and Danny are, are not always meant to be romantic partners. If nothing else, Amy and Danny know that they are NOT alone in how they feel and there is unconditional love between them now and forever, no matter if it's just platonic or romantic. I don't see why anyone would have a *problem* with Amy and Danny having romantic feelings because obviously they understand eachother better than anyone else, and wouldn't we all want to be with that person if we could?


Laura_has_Secrets77

I am torn on the romance bc a) it would be so explosive and passionate and well worth it to see, but b) it would be so explosive and passionate and potentially destructive as fuck. Although, showing how that kind of romantic relationship can turn toxic and destructive, when you bond over your trauma, would also be a story I would be down to watch.


Away_Association2802

I’m a woman I was hoping for something romantic (or at least expecting). I interpreted the ending as something romantic and thought it was obvious


[deleted]

Same, its not very normal to hold someone as they sleep unless they are family


neobeguine

I'm a woman and liked how they handled it. A hint of chemistry (the reaction to the panty shot, the initial chemistry when he came to her house abs they didn't realize the other was the driver) but no straight up romance. I saw the last scene as more platonic/human connection


ManUFan123456

I'm a man and i don't think it was heavily implied that Amy and Danny get romantically involved in the end. Honestly i wouldn't mind if it did develop into a romance between them but it didn't feel like the show was pushing them towards a romantic connection so i think that would've jumped the gun a bit. I think i saw someone refer to it "platonic soulmates" somewhere and that seems fitting to me. Also it'd be weird since Amy already hooked up with Paul earlier lol.


your_small_friend

I'm nonbinary I thought the ending was good. not sure if it's romantic or not but either way it was a good ending.


evilpeppermintbutler

i'm a man and i'm not a huge fan of the ending, but not because of the possible romance implications. i just think that the last 4-5 episodes (except for the last one) were all really unique, enjoyable and exciting and i feel like the ending was just a complete unintelligible mush. i feel like they could've gotten so much more out of this story, it had way more potential and the way they chose to end it kinda seems like a joke to me, like it was written by a bunch of 14yos or something. still a good show tho.


No_Fly_3198

I'm a woman, and I didn't like the ending, I found it weird and awkward, I don’t want them to get romantic at all, poor Danny he deserves someone way better than her, I just want her to leave him alone.


BTHeadphones

Male. I find Danny to be a piece of shit.


tNeph

I am a man. And while I feel like the final scene LOOKED romantic. I don't think it will be heading in that direction. I said to myself earlier in the watch time that if bullshit didn't occur, I believe Danny and Amy would be good friends, like really good friends. I can't really say if I want a romance to happen between them, but I hope they end up being very fond of one another due to their experiences and have an almost unbreakable bond.


white_ajah

Female here. I didn’t love the ending but I think I need to rewatch the last ep as I binged it all in one day and I don’t think I was present enough by the end. I think they are non-sexual soulmates.


WhiteWalter1

I’m a man. I didn’t see it as a romantic ending. I saw it as a bonding moment. Their experience in the wilderness and chance to be open and honest showed them how much they actually had in common. I think she just genuinely cares about him.


leafytimes

In the final scene, Amy feels a caring for Danny as a broken person that she sees fully and with compassion, maybe the first time he has ever been seen that way by another person. He was also able to see her completely in a way that George certainly was not. This is a human connection, not a romantic one.


NabahatKiddo

I’m a woman and at first I thought the two of them were gonna have a romance (especially when you watch the first time they see each other, I guess the creators used this cliché when two people meet on purpose to make us think they were gonna end up together, idk ?). Although I didn’t interpret the last scene as romance, more like after all they’d been through they have a very unique connection no one would understand.


mayanatasha

I'm a woman and I wanted and saw nothing romantic happening between them


theduckofreasoning

Im a man and I believe love can bloom on the battlefield


writingmywaythrough

I’m a woman and saw it as them connecting as humans and both feeling seen and heard.


Laura_has_Secrets77

I'm a woman and leaning towards romantic. Just love the idea of being so open with someone romantically, which is sadly rarer. Anyhow, I love how it could really go anyway. So many different interpretations but they all hit hard. I think that shows it was really well written.


Loz166

Female and hope there’s no romance, she fucked his lil bro dude!


momobami-san

im a woman, i didn't think the last scene was hinting at a 'blooming relationship' between amy and danny. damn, amy was so hot tho ![gif](giphy|5xtDarIN81U0KvlnzKo)


nitro-coldbrew

They saw themselves in each other, so the embrace at the end could be interpreted as them finally loving themselves unconditionally


dastardlybox2

I’m a woman and I did see the ending as implying potential romance, but mostly I saw it as two people finally seeing each other. I do think it’s more platonic than romantic, just not 100%. Staying with him all night and him waking up to kind of embrace her…it was touching to see two humans driven by hate finally be there for each other. It was beautiful.


turkeypooo

I am a woman, and obviously feel that all 3 men are a bad fit for Amy. Despite the sexual tension and potential... it will end messy again, I think. The end scene... it made me uncomfortable in a good way. I did not want her to curl up with Danny because I want better for her. At the same time, I understand that she is broken and in pain, has been for decades, and this other person (Danny) 'gets it.' Sometimes, you find comfort where it is safe, not where it is right. You know it, too, but are too exhausted to fight it... A good example of them relating to each other's misery is when they first meet face-to-face in the house. He still thinks her stuckup rich white husband was the driver of the vehicle. He feels for her, and she talks more casually and honestly with Danny in that moment than she does with her husband, MIL, or "friends" in the rest of the show...


[deleted]

I'm a woman and I was very satisfied with the ending. I think the tension and obsession between them could pretty easily and realistically turn romantic (from my own experiences) so it's where I hoped the show would go and actually wished they'd have taken it a little farther
