After watching Episode 4 of Gen V, you might find yourself questioning the confusing ending. We were just as puzzled, and we've made an effort to uncover the truth. In our review, we described the fourth episode as having a shocking and thrilling scene of gory violence, yet it concludes in a way that is sure to leave viewers perplexed.
After Emma bravely rescues Sam in Episode 3, our story continues as they flee from the Woods. Meanwhile, Marie and her team face psychic predators, intense sexual tension, and an intimidating interrogator named Tek Knight at Godolkin University. The final scenes are filled with thrilling action, only to take a sudden and unexpected turn as the narrative abruptly switches to another scene and rolls the credits. Let's delve deeper into these events.
Gen V Episode 4 ending explained
At the conclusion of Gen V Episode 4, Emma exhibits a dramatic growth in order to immobilize Sam. However, just as Marie begins assuring him of their protective presence, the scene abruptly transitions to darkness while she is still in mid-sentence, only to reveal her later in bed with Jordan. Subsequently, Tek Knight engages in a rather unconventional act involving a bathroom hand dryer. Finally, as the credits roll, the captivating sound of Missy Elliott's 'Work It' fills the episode.
The initial transition from Doctor Cardosa's garden to Marie in bed is quite puzzling and almost feels inappropriate. However, there must be a purpose behind it. It resembles the previous cut in the episode when Rufus utilized his abilities to exert control over Marie until she awoke in his bedroom. Is it possible that someone is manipulating them telepathically?
There is something suspicious happening in the preview for Episode 5. Jordan reveals that they have gaps in their memory and days missing. You can find the preview by going to Gen V's page on Prime Video, clicking on Extras.
Could Rufus be involved in the bigger Vought conspiracy? Or is Cate playing a more significant role than it seems? Is Indira Shetty hiding undisclosed powers? A user on X/Twitter speculates that the ending of the episode, which jumps from the group in the backyard to Marie & Jordan in bed, and the Episode 5 promo hinting at blanks in their days, suggest that a telepath is erasing their memory. The only known mind supes on campus are Rufus & Cate.
"Check out the preview for episode 5. The ending will become clearer," remarked one viewer. "Take a look at the upcoming episode's preview. It's going to be really confusing and I'm absolutely enjoying it," added another Redditor.
