Ending of Ratched

Throughout the series, we see that Nurse Ratched has a dark side to her and tries to bend things to her benefit. She only feels strongly for Gwendolyn, who helped Ratched accept her sexuality and her brother Edmund. In the series, we saw that Ratched plans and tries to keep her brother from facing the death penalty and painfully on the electric chair. However, when she figures out that there is no way Edmund can avoid the death sentence, Ratched plans to euthanise him in order to give him a quick and painless death.

But before Ratched can execute her plan, Nurse Bucket frees Edmund, as asked to do by deranged Charlotte Wells. When Edmund finds out about his sisters plans to euthanise him, he feels betrayed as on the contrary he had been believing that she would plan an escape for him. He becomes her sworn enemy and when he is escaping with Charlotte, he locks eyes with Ratched for a brief moment.

Ratched quickly realises that her life is in danger and Edmund, who is a serial killer, would come for her life. The series jumps forwards three years and shows that Ratched and Gwendolyn have fled the USA and are living together in Mexico. However, Ratched is still always scared for her life.

One day she receives a phone call from Edmund, who admits to her that he has recently killed 7 nurses like the newspaper headline read that day. He further tells her that he knows her location and is now coming for her. The ending sequence shows Edmund and Charlotte are travelling together.
