The Ending Of Locke & Key Season 1 Explained

Whether you're unclear as to how all the pieces of Netflix's new hit show Locke & Key fit together, you want answers to some of its bigger questions, or you're simply hankering for some hints as to where season two might head… this is what you need to know.

First thing's first: At the end of the day, Dodge won. Dodge's real goal wasn't stealing the Omega Key. It was opening the Black Door. She didn't need the Omega Key to accomplish that. She simply had to trick Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode into opening the door for her… which they do, despite Kinsey's eventual better judgment.

Dodge's scheme isn't shown on screen chronologically, so here's roughly how it works: First, Dodge uses the Identity Key to transform Ellie into, well… Dodge. Then she straight-up knocks her out. Next, Dodge uses the Crown of Shadows to summon an army and leads an attack on Keyhouse. While the stakes feel real, they're not. Dodge intends to let the kids win. Then she drops Ellie's body, disguised as her own, where the children can find it.

In order to dispose of Dodge for good, Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode need to put her back in the Wellhouse. Unfortunately, no one knows where Ellie hid the Echo Key, so instead, the kids decide to open the Black Door using the Omega Key and dump Dodge inside. See where this is going? The children and their friends throw Ellie's disguised body through the portal even as one of Dodge's demonic peers escape.

Dodge's biggest threat, Ellie, is gone, her other enemies think she's no longer part of the equation, and now she has an equally powerful and hungry partner in crime to help out. The Lockes think they won, but Dodge got everything she wanted.

Of course, getting rid of Ellie and opening the Black Door isn't the only way that Dodge has set herself up for success in season two. As the final moments of Locke & Key's first season reveal, she's also earned Kinsey's trust and her heart by using the Identity Key to masquerade as Gabe, a member of Kinsey's friend group.
