Warning: absolutely major spoilers ahead for the new Netflix series Agatha Christie's Seven Dials.
The latest Netflix mystery thriller has dropped, and – let's face it – we all want to know whodunnit, right?
So let's set the scene first. It's the 1920s. Our protagonist and amateur sleuth Lady Eileen, aka Bundle (played by How To Have Sex star Mia McKenna-Bruce) is suspicious of the death of her almost fiancée – and good friend of her brother, who died in WW1 – Gerry Wade, played by Princess Charlotte star Corey Mylchreest. It is suggested that he died by suicide due to PTSD, but Bundle suspects otherwise, seeing as he hinted to her he wanted to propose to her shortly after the party.
Bundle ends up going toe to toe with Superintendent Battle (Martin Freeman) as she investigates the death of the man she loves, who is also investigating the case. And at the centre of it all is a mysterious group called Seven Dials located in London, who seem linked with Gerry's death.
Stylist Sinead McKeefry breaks down each of Claudia's Highlands chic looks.
There are many twists and turns – but who actually killed Gerry Wade? Read ahead for Glamour's (spoiler-filled) breakdown of the ending of Seven Dials, including who killed who.
Who killed Gerry Wade?
We discover that it was, in fact, Loraine – who is introduced as Gerry's stepsister – who poisoned Gerry by lacing his champagne with sleeping draught and left the bottle by the bedside table to make it look like he overdosed himself.
This information is relayed to Bundle during something of a standoff at gunpoint on a moving train, where it is also revealed that her friend Jimmy Thesiger (My Lady Jane star Edward Bluemel) is involved in the plan, which involved pushing the Seven Dials group as suspects for Gerry's murder and make it look like the group were involved by expanding on the clock prank began by his friends, which saw Gerry's body discovered with numerous clocks ticking as an homage to the group. Jimmy explains that he needed to be part of the plan as he needed the money it would generate to cover his debts. The plan involved the theft of a formula that could start a war, so predictably was worth a lot of money from the highest bidder.
Who killed Ronnie Devereux?
Jimmy confessed that he shot Ronnie (Film Club's Nabhaan Rizwan), after he also investigated Gerry's death a little bit too closely. When Bundle discovered Jimmy dying in the road, he did say Jimmy's name, and this was why – he was trying to point her to his killer.
Who was behind the whole masterplan?
It is revealed in the final episode of Seven Dials that there was a mastermind behind the plan that Jimmy and Loraine were part of. Who had the brains and the contacts to bring this strategy together?
Heartbreakingly, Bundle's own mother Lady Caterham (played deliciously as always by Helena Bonham Carter) was behind the entire plan, as a means to make money after she was left a crumbling estate by her late husband and was struggling to cover the cost.
Bundle discovers that Lady Caterham had been on the train the whole time during the big reveal, leading to a showdown between mother and daughter. Lady Caterham admits that Jimmy and Loraine were set to meet her in her train compartment to give her the stolen formula for it to be sold on. Lady Caterham's bitterness and overwhelming grief at losing her son and husband made her stoic in the face of selling on a formula that could hurt others.
This discovery breaks Bundle's heart, and leads her to hand her mother over to the authorities. She is later met with an interesting proposal from Superintendent Battle, which we believe may pave the way for a sequel series…
