Okay, having seen the ending it's a bit hard to tell why there was much police involvement at all. They would have investigated, but if all four (five) witnesses had simply told the truth it would have been closed out pretty quickly as defense of others.


Who would want to prosecute one of those rich women?

In this movie/series/whatever you want to call it: I thought she was FANTASTIC! Definitely the best-acted part in it, in my opinion.
Yes! Not a Kidman fan at all but this role let me put that aside.

Okay, what was the deal with Bonnie having so much violent rage to push Perry down the stairs like that ? She didn't even know them that well, but she had disturbingly been watching Celeste and Perry all night.
She was the the "peace and love" character.

And why did Jane superimpose Perry as her rapist--- because his violence'toward Celeste brought back all the memory and drama for her?

My 40 yo daughter seems to believe that Perry WAS her rapist. I did not come away with that belief but I trust her opinion more than my own......

She also believes that Kidman will win an Emmy for her role. I cannot argue with that......

It's been a long time since I've read the book but I think it was clearer in the novel that he really was her rapist.

he definitely was her rapist. Remember all the flashbacks to the incident, in many of them he's pouring a bottle of champagne, he pours the bottle with his pinkie in the air, very deliberate.

just before he ran down to find wife Nicole Kidman he was talking to Laura Dern's husband and picked up a bottle of liqueur and poured it the exact same way, the camera angle was from kind of far away but that gave me chills, knowing it was all coming to a head and they were telling us it was Perry.

even the fact that Ziggy really is the half-brother of the kid who really was biting/bullying Annabelle even though he was blamed for it, Jack got his violent tendencies from his father but the good of Jane's DNA and parenting won out.

in the end they flashbacked to another beach scene and finally showed it was Perry who was running, why would they do that if it really wasn't him? it was the last episode.

that's who I thought it was the first few episodes although I strayed away with all the confusion. If you remember the first time Jane and Celeste meet, at the café sitting al fresco, there was a lock-on moment when Jane and Celeste first meet and they lock eyes for a bit longer than normal, might've been the first episode, I thought that might have been foreshadowing and it was.

really good series and at first I thought, I'm not watching this , too much drama but it was really good.

They had alluded earlier in the series that Bonnie was a victim of abuse herself. So I think watching Perry attempt to beat the **** out of his wife brought all her rage to the surface.

There was no doubt Perry was Jane's rapist. Remember the scene they showed several times this season where Jane is lying in bed after being raped, and the guy walks out of the room, his face in shadows? They showed it to us again last night, and we could see it was Perry.

I didn't pick up on the hints about Bonnie being an abuse victim, but why do we have to posit that she was in a violent rage? She was acting entirely reasonably to protect Celeste from deadly force.

He had it coming.

Totally agree. But the word I used was "rage", not violent rage. And I think most people would agree that she was in a rage at what she was seeing.

Wiki: Rage (often called fury or frenzy) is a feeling of intense, violent, or growing anger.
