Explaining The End Of Warrior Nun Season 1

The first season of Warrior Nun from series creator Simon Barry has finally dropped on Netflix, and the demon-fighting adaptation of Benn Dunn's cult hit comic doesn't disappoint. But did the ending leave you scratching your head a little? Here's a breakdown of everything that transpired in that apocalyptic final episode.

But first, a bit of backstory: Series protagonist Ava is a paraplegic orphan living out her days in a pretty unpleasant-looking Spanish convent. In the very first episode of Warrior Nun, she dies under mysterious circumstances, and the nun who brings her body to receive last rites doesn't seem to be too broken up about it. Ava was apparently a challenging ward, and you get the sense that the nuns from the orphanage aren't exactly sorry to be unburdened by her care.

Shortly after Ava's body arrives at the Spanish monastery, a team of demon-slaying nuns from the Order of the Cruciform Sword, or OCS, burst in carrying the mortally wounded body of their comrade, Shannon Masters. A band of hellspawn are hot on their tails, however, and the devils and demons soon penetrate the monastery's defenses. One of the non-sword-wielding nuns uses a set of tongs to remove a glowing artifact from Shannon's back, which they refer to as "The Halo."

No surprise, the demons are after the Halo, and it's apparently of the utmost importance that they not get their hellacious claws on it. One of the nuns evades capture and hides the Halo inside Ava's corpse. Ava is promptly resurrected by the artifact's insertion, and guess what? She's no longer paralyzed. Not only that, but she seems to have acquired a pretty radical set of superpowers, including super strength and super healing.

While the series opens with a real bang, the plot drags a bit in the middle of the season when the focus shifts from the existential struggle between good and evil to a more mundane character story, as Ava rapidly explores the contours of her new life as a "normal" young woman. Thankfully, this slower storyline falls by the wayside by the time the season reaches its conclusion, and Ava finds herself smack dab in the middle of a centuries-long struggle of literally Biblical proportions.
