Speaking to PEOPLE at the premiere, Lower revealed what happened in the finale where her character and David Worthington are shown holding hands.

“The whole family is together, Matthew is holding his little sister, and I think you can see that the family is slowly moving forward,” Lower said. The joy of the family’s reunion, however, comes after a major tragedy, as the series reveals. Milo VentimigliaHayden’s character, was responsible for kidnapping David’s son five years ago.
Long healing process for characters
Lower acknowledged the emotional toll that can take on a blended family while emphasizing the strength they can find in coping and recovering together. “They’re going to need a lot of help, but they’re going to do it together,” said the 40-year-old artist. “That time, I think, is good, quiet hands.”The finale is the show’s final statement: a quiet nod to the connection and commitment between two people who shared a surprising amount of things.

“I was very happy. There’s like sci-fi, there’s Western, and then there’s the Harlan Coben kind, and it was really fun to be with,” said Lower about the author. “It’s a very hard job. Rachel is a boots-on-the-ground, hard-working reporter. She’s got fire in her belly, and she’s really committed to integrity.”Lower went on to explain what made him feel connected to the character, emphasizing the clarity of Rachel’s character and her role within the emotional context of the story. He said: “I really admired his attitude. “He has a strong moral compass, and he’s just part of this tight-knit family.

The series ends with unanswered questions about the future of David and Rachel’s relationship. But Lower said he sees this ambiguity as good news, not bad news.

“I like that the show ends there — in a quiet, reflective moment rather than a performance,” Lower said. “Rachel and David both lost a lot and came out on the other side with a deep understanding of who they are and what is most important. They showed it completely – to Matthew, to their family, to each other – in the most difficult chapter of their lives. It is the most amazing foundation for everything that is coming. I think they are facing it with their eyes open. “The series is now streaming on Netflix, allowing viewers to witness David and Rachel’s complete journey from investigation through reconciliation.
