In the ending of It Follows, Jay and her friends come up with a plan to finish the creature. Jay swims to the middle of an indoor public pool. Her friends arrange different electrical appliances like hairdryers, televisions, ovens, etc. around the pool in an attempt to electrocute and kill the creature. When the creature that is following Jay arrives, things don’t go according to their plan. The creature starts to hurl those devices at Jay instead of entering the pool. Paul starts shooting where he thinks the creature is but ends up hurting Yara. Kelly somehow manages to throw a sheet over the creature which allows Paul to shoot him in the head. The creature falls in the pool. As Jay tries to swim out of the pool, the creature grabs her and pulls underwater. Paul finally manages to shoot the creature in the head and it seems to be dead. As the creature is defeated, Jay and Paul get intimate after they are home. However, things take a dramatic turn when the two of them are walking down the road while holding hands, a shady figure slowly approaches them from behind in the dying moments of It Follows.

Every time Jay and Paul get intimate, it seems that they will still pass on the curse to each other.
