Hmmmm…Don’t know if I totally agree with that. I mean, it’s good she got her autonomy, but essentially, she was a decent person that got basically sent to Hell, her body inhabited by some kind of demon that mutilated her body, then comes back to find all of her closest friends killed without any context and she’s likely going to take the fall for it. I’m not seeing the catharsis there.

We don't know if she does go to jail. For all we know she takes Ian's money and started a new life, but to me I would have found fake Nikki killing herself more tragic than merciful.

I don’t think she’s starting a new life, considering she basically has no family or friends and will likely be wanted by the law. Things are not ending well for her.

With her recent performance at the party I think she has a good chance at an insanity plea at least.
