Ending Explained – What Happens at the End of Medusa?

Still wondering what the ending of Medusa (2022) really means? Here’s a spoiler-heavy breakdown of the final scene, major twists, and the deeper themes that shape the film’s conclusion.

In the final episodes of Medusa, the truth about who tried to kill Barbara is finally revealed. It turns out that Gabriel, her loyal assistant and love interest, was behind the attack. His motive was rooted in unrequited love; having harbored feelings for Barbara, he saw her survival as a second chance for their relationship. Unable to accept rejection and obsessed with her, Gabriel orchestrated the attempt on her life. The mystery deepens when it’s implied that others involved in the conspiracy may have also played a part, but Gabriel was the primary culprit. Over the course of the series, Barbara uncovers dangerous family secrets; her father Damian was revealed to have forcibly kept her mother, Medusa, away and involved in unethical behavior, including coercing employees into sexual favors. She exposes her uncle Camilo as a pedophile, leading to the family’s disintegration and Damian’s fall from power. Meanwhile, Barbara’s brother Christian is reinstated as head of the company, showing her effort to restore her family’s integrity.

The series concludes with a poignant moment of closure for Danger, the devoted cop seeking justice for his partner Saul. In a tense showdown, Danger confronts and kills Ciclope, the cartel assassin, gaining the closure he desperately needed. Gabriel’s mental health finally collapses, and he is found dead in his cell, having taken his own life after leaving a cryptic message hinting that Barbara, the “demon,” had finally claimed him. The show hints that the story isn’t quite over, teasing the possibility of another season where the true mastermind behind Gabriel’s death and further secrets might be uncovered. Barbara’s journey ends with her embracing her spiritual healing and reconnecting with her community, vowing to protect the environment and foster societal growth, leaving audiences with the sense that her fight for justice and redemption is ongoing.
