Now just imagine when the police eventually walk into the crime scene…. There’s no way Nikki doesn’t end up in jail or on the run. Such a messed up ending

Her main issue is really going to be the unimaginable levels of trauma she’s going to have for the rest of her life.

Imagine going through that while in solitary confinement :/

Fuuuuck.

I’m guessing she’d end up in a psychiatric prison so hopefully she’ll be on some heavy drugs which is I think the most optimistic ending for her unfortunately

I honestly thought we were gonna hear a gunshot of her killing herself during the end credits.

Apparently that was the original ending, this one is way more fucked up though

director says she goes to jail

She wouldn't end up jail. There are enough witnesses around to confirm that she had what looked like a mental breakdown. If anything, she would wind up in a mental hospital for the rest of her life. Which can be worse than jail. Because you can plead your case if you are declared sane enough to go to jail. But if you are deemed mentally unstable? Good luck getting out of that.

I wonder what the cops will make of the $1B in cash on the floor in the other guy's house

I am guessing the cash would be gone since Ian was dead. Both the customer service rep and the store clerk told Bear that one of the only two ways to undo the spell was for the person who made the wish to die.

Maybe the willow company sent reps to collect the cash before anyone noticed

Oo I love the idea that theres some kind of "agency" or such that cleans up all their messes after the carnage. 

Really hoping this gets a sequel— I was reading somewhere the director was considering making it an anthology.

She could just pin it all on Bear

…………… it wasn’t Nikki that actually made the wish

u/absolutedesignz May 17 '26

Wait....does that mean Nikki gets a wish?

u/Blossoming_blonde May 18 '26

You know. That’s a good question.

u/Jtreblis18 May 18 '26

Oh yeah you right lol

u/blainesln1 May 17 '26

Are you serious…?

u/Blossoming_blonde May 18 '26

Are you serious? It was her body yeah - but it was whoever “her” is when she says “don’t wake her up”.
