THE PERFECT COUPLE Netflix Ending Explained and Review
Forget the fireworks. Netflix's The Perfect Couple wrapped up its Fourth of July weekend murder mystery with a few bombs of its own.
First things first: Who killed Merritt (Meghann Fahy), Amelia's (Eve Hewson) maid of honor and best friend? To everyone's surprise (but no one's chagrin), it was Abby (Dakota Fanning), who discovered Merritt was pregnant from her affair with Abby's father-in-law, Tag (Liev Schreiber). Keeping that secret gave a lot of people a motive.
But for Abby, a new Winbury heir would reset the timeline for the trust fund payout for her husband, Thomas (Jack Reynor), and his younger brothers. In other words, she married into money and she wants it now, not in 18 years when this new kid is an adult.
