In the series finale, Leila and Abbie, along with Rory, execute their plan to escape from Tall Pines.

Leila, tired of running, decides to stay behind while Abbie and Rory press on.

Dwayne Andrews (Brandon Jay McLaren) is killed by Alex (Martin), who bludgeons him with a rock.

Martin revealed to Variety that the pair's relationship was "all a front" and he never liked Alex.

The star revealed: "Maybe for a second he would entertain that this could be a new friendship, but I think he was a pretty territorial guy and it was always a front."

Leila also confessed to killing her older sister Jess (Devin Cecchetto) during a flashback scene.

It emerged that Evelyn had persuaded Leila to confess she "hated" Jess, leading to Leila pushing her into the pool in a fit of rage, watching as her sister drowned from the sidelines.

Riley (Gage Munroe), despite being popular among the students of Tall Pines, was desperate to escape the school.

Tragically, he was accidentally killed by Alex at the start of the series in an act of self-defence, after Riley lunged at Alex with a kitchen knife.

Lastly, Maurice, the father of a former Tall Pines student, (Mark McKinney) met his demise at the hands of Dwayne, who made his death appear as a suicide.

In the series finale, Evelyn was injected with her own poison by Alex and Rabbit (Tattiawna Jones) and was transported into a dream-like state.

She envisioned herself and a door at the back of her imagined self's throat, with the doors continuing to multiply.

As Rabbit recited the mantra to Evelyn, her body lay lifeless in the water, but Martin told Variety Evelyn may not be dead yet.

When asked if she was definitely dead, the actor said: "I don't think so. I think she's a vegetable and, yeah, I'd be curious to see if she could ever come out of it, but she's definitely a vegetable."
