The Explanation

During their time apart, Sarah tries to learn as much as possible about quantum physics. Thus she realises that once they enter the cave, there is a 3.2-second gap, during this time, the world takes them from the end of November 9th to the beginning of the same day. Thus she decides to use an explosive to literally blow the glitch in time and thus return to their normal lives. However, the risk for the plan is certain death, if all things fail, another problem is that causing an explosion in the glitch could even take them 20 years ahead in time as well.

The Ending

For days, Nyles and Sarah are stuck on the same date, November 9th which was Sarah’s sister’s wedding. During the course of time, both Sarah and Nyles have fun and pull off various pranks while still being stuck in the time loop. However, Sarah eventually realises a way to possibly break the time loop. However, the process can cost them their lives. A series of events from a shocking revelation about Sarah and Nyles individually cause them to stop seeing each other despite being stuck in the same time loop. However, this period helps Sarah to gather information on breaking the time loop. Thus, she reunites with Nyles and reveals that she has a way to break the time loop. Thus the two spend possibly their last day together in the time loop before they could possibly exit or die the following day. During this day, the two visit a bar, give an amazing wedding speech and set things just right. Sarah then goes into the cave in the desert to execute their plan. Nyles too shows up at the last moment. They enter the cave and finally break the time loop through an explosion and thus wake up on November 10th, the next day.
