He confessed that he was the one who killed Ben. All the latest gaming news, game reviews and trailers Defending Jacob ending explained. Laurie becomes convinced again that Jacob killed Ben, even though Hope turns up alive the following day.Laurie becomes more withdrawn from Andy and Jacob. “It’s a different kind of bleak but hopefully, one that feels very much in keeping with the story we’ve been telling.”Landay “never had a problem with the idea of making changes” from the novel. Laurie – also hospitalised with various injuries – is told by Andy that the jury voted in favour of a car accident, and he heads home to sit quietly in Jacob’s room as the credits roll.Defending Jacob doesn’t confirm whether Jacob murdered Ben, but all signs point towards him doing so.Jacob told his parents that Ben bullied him, and he did own a knife that he took to school. “It feels like a confession but, of course, it’s not,” said Bomback. The ending of the series diverts from William Landay's 2012 novel in two key ways.

As he visits a hospital after the hearing, it’s revealed Jacob is in a coma and on life support.

Her body is found several weeks later, washed up ashore with evidence pointing to her windpipe being crushed. “I wouldn’t extend it to another season just to simply spend more time with these characters. “Andy’s journey has been this challenge to own up to everything that he’s been trying to conceal: He comes clean about who his father is, and he tells Laurie the truth [about the forced confession], even if it means destroying everything he’s been fighting to preserve this whole time. Here they are. In Landay's source material, the Barbers go to Jamaica (rather than Mexico), and Jacob does indeed meet a girl named Hope Connors. Ben’s father Dan (Patrick Fischler) confronts the Barbers in a multistorey car park, but is apprehended by the henchman who had supposedly been stalking the Barbers.

To write an ending that allows Andy and Laurie to slip out of that permanent relationship with Jacob in any way isn’t true to the experience of most parents, who are in a permanent relationship with their children whether they like it or not.”Onscreen, Hope turns up alive.

During the holiday, Jacob befriends Hope Connors – a 16-year-old from Toronto – and the pair go to a New Year’s Eve beach party together. Billy sent Father O’Leary to force Patz to confess to Ben’s murder, before strangling him to death and making it look like suicide, to prevent Jacob ending up in prison like him. The subsequent car crash suggests that Laurie felt purely isolated from reality - even from her husband and son. Andy's drunken emotional breakdown effectively splits the family apart. Unsettled, Andy visits Billy, who indeed arranged for a blackmailed confession and suicide.“Andy is at a crossroads where he can do the right thing and come forward with this information, which will mean his son’s arrest again, or he can swallow it,” says series writer and creator Mark Bomback.

The tragic irony is, he didn’t have to, and Hope is found.”Throughout the season, “Laurie has been trying to get to the truth, even if it means destroying herself, while Andy has been trying to protect their son, even if it means lying to himself,” said Bomback.But since the episode closes with Laurie’s bedside regrets and Andy’s quiet moment in Jacob’s room, “They wind up actually flipping at the end, where Andy seems to be quite aware of what his son might have done, and Laurie is willing to accept a lie to preserve their family and move on.“I don’t think that our ending is any less bleak than the ending of the book,” Bomback added.
