And, as promised, it did all make sense in the end.
Im so sad to say it, but lets recap the finale ofAmerican Gothic!
Theyre not much help, though, because they describe two different people.
Garrett recalls a tattoo on SBKs body of what they determine to be a Brigids cross.
She finally leaves Madeline with the threat of turning her in.
Naomi comes back into the picture in this episode and tells Alison shes in town for a wedding.
While there, Sophie sneaks out with Jack when Cam isnt looking and takes him to the aquarium.
Cam tells Sophie shes a lost cause (pretty harsh, Cam)and leaves her in the aquarium.
Did you think that was the last we were going to see of Sophie?
Well, clearly, if youve read this far, you know youre dead wrong.
She may have been the last SBK anyone saw coming.
TheAmerican Gothicwriters heard our cries and brought her back for one last round of craziness!
(But how is Caramels tail, I cant help but wonder.)
Garrett, Cam, Tessa, and Alison are all at Alisons campaign headquarters.
Even Christina arrives, and she and Garrett patch things up.
What could possibly go wrong?
Brady, Cutter, and the rest of the precinct watch a deposition tape of John Martin.
Now we have a motive: SBK, a.k.a.
John Martin, was targeting rich hospital donors, and this included Mitchell and the Hawthornes.
Brady and Cutter visit the grave of John Martins wife, Brigid, looking for more answers.
She then lays out her whole life story.
Not SBK, though.
Shes right about that one, but how did she know?
Sophie says he was her way into the family.
However, now that Cam was leaving and keeping Jack from her, All I have left is revenge.
Sophie handcuffs Cam to the dead(?)
Cam struggles to free himself, but cant.
He grabs the bodyguards gun and heads for Sophie in the living room, but hes too late.
She killed Madeline, SBK-style.
Cam lingers in the doorway, gun pointed at Sophie, and screams at her for being so insane.
Eventually, the cops burst in and Sophie basically disappears into thin air.
Tessa gets the news of her mothers murder just as Alison is announced as Bostons first female mayor.
One year later, we see everyone living great lives.
Thenwe see Alison doing an interview and reminiscing about her first months as Bostons mayor.
As it turns out, Alison discovered Sophie was SBKs daughter before Brady or the police ever did.
Alison told Sophie all about Madelines murders and made a deal with her to kill Madeline.
Alison says that despite the fact her mothers killer is still at large, Today our family is thriving…
I think our mother would be proud.
