Breaking Down the Wicked Finale of Netflix’s ‘The Body’

By the time the finale rolls around, Lions captain Anya (Kristina Bogic) has pulled back from her forced friendship with outcast-turned-chief team manipulator Lisbeth (Geena Meszaros) in favor of preserving her secret romance with her best friend and co-captain Elise (Sara Boustany). The problem is, Lisbeth is still the only person who knows Anya was the one who found Grace passed out in a drug-induced stupor at the Halloween party, gave up on her plan to take Grace to the hospital after she appeared to stop breathing, and, at Lisbeth’s suggestion, snuck Grace’s body back inside her house to try to make it look like she had never been out with them. Meanwhile, a desperate Lisbeth is ready to use this information to blackmail Anya into letting her and her brother Leo (Jackson Kelly) live with Anya’s family so they aren’t forced to return to their West Virginia hometown with their mentally unwell religious zealot mother Catherine (Louisa Krause). Lisbeth also threatens to out Anya and Elise to get her way, an outcome that terrifies Anya more than anything.
