‘The Perfect Couple’ Ending Explained: How the Netflix Series Changed the Book’s Killer Finale
'The Perfect Couple' finale breakdown, the killer's identity and how the show differs from the novel.
Developed for the screen by showrunner Jenna Lamia (“Good Girls”), the show follows Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), whose upcoming nuptials to Benji Winbury (Billy Howle) are derailed on the day of her wedding when she discovers the dead body of her maid of honor, Merritt Monaco (Meghann Fahy). As the police investigate Amelia and her fiancé’s family, they discover that each person in the wedding party –– from Benji’s imposing mother Greer (Nicole Kidman) to his charismatic best friend, Shooter (Ishaan Khatter) –– has been harboring secrets that could destroy the façades they’ve all been working hard to maintain. In the final episode of “The Perfect Couple,” it’s revealed that Thomas’ pregnant wife Abigail (Dakota Fanning) intentionally slips one of Karen’s barbiturate pills into a glass of orange juice, and delivers it to a heartbroken Merritt, who is sitting on the beach.
