Darby and the Dead

In the end, Darby finally reveals her secret—she can see, hear, and talk to the dead. This revelation comes during the school’s big party, when Capri, who has been causing chaos as a ghost, forces Darby to disclose her supernatural ability. At first, it’s a moment of vulnerability for Darby, but she realizes that revealing her secret is a liberating act. Once everyone knows, the fear of hiding her true self lifts, and she feels a sense of relief and acceptance. This openness allows her to reconnect more honestly with others, including Alex, who also turns out to see the dead because he was in a coma and has a similar ability. With this shared secret now out in the open, Darby finds herself no longer alone in her supernatural world. She begins to understand that her power isn’t just a burden but a gift that can help others move on. Capri, having fulfilled her unfinished business, finally accepts that her work on Earth is done. She quietly leaves, giving Darby a final farewell, revealing to her that her mother had been waiting to see her grow up and had always protected her from afar. Darby is comforted knowing her mother hadn’t abandoned her but was watching over her all along. As Capri departs, her spirit finally moves on, bringing closure to her story. With her confidence restored and her secret finally shared, Darby begins her new journey, helping both the living and the dead find peace. She and Alex decide to start seeing each other, now connected by their shared supernatural ability, and Darby resumes her role of helping spirits find closure, understanding that her power is a vital part of her life’s purpose. The ending emphasizes that being true to oneself and embracing who she is allows Darby to find happiness and acceptance, closing her journey with a sense of hope and new beginnings.
