The Undoing Season 1 Finale was neatly wrapped up with Jonathan confession to killing Elena. But we still think it was Grace who murdered Elena! And we are hoping the next season will shed light to this. Why? Here we go:
1) Temperament: Jonathan has been angry many times but he never appears to get out of control. He had an affair with Elena, lost his job and career and then lost his marriage and he seemed to deal with all of this in a remarkably sane manner throughout the series. Guess who doesn’t seem to handle loss well - Grace. Grace goes on long walks and clearly has a dark past where her father cheated on her mother repeatedly. Grace is the little girl we see with blood spilling on her face in the introduction to every episode.
2) Opportunity: Grace was recorded on the cameras as being near Elena’s apartment. The weapon that killed Elena was spotted by Grace’s son near the beach mansion that Elena escaped to. Why would Jonathan go on the run with the weapon and then bring it right back to where Elena was hiding when he could have disposed it anywhere and no one would have known?
3) Cover-Up: Jonathan was happy to see that his son picked up the weapon that killed Elena because he knew it would exonerate him. Guess who seemed scared and thrown off to find the weapon in her apartment? Grace, who had taken it to the beach mansion to throw it in the ocean and then probably not found it afterwards until she saw it in the apartment in her son’s music case. Jonathan’s message to the jury and his family and his lawyer have all been consistent - he had an affair and didn’t murder. Guess who switched sides in front of the jury? Grace, after she decided she didn’t want to continue living with Jonathan and knowing that Jonathan was likely to win the case (leading the police to investigate her).
4) Confession: So why would Jonathan confess? His message about the murder changed after he moved back in with Grace. Grace is an expert psychologist. She could have implanted false memories into Jonathan when they began living together at night.
Jonathan is going to prison but hopefully Season 2 will show that Grace is the murderer who lost it when she came to know Jonathan had cheated on her just as her father had on her mother. It probably triggered something about her childhood and set her off. We are excited to find out more in the next season.
