Netflix's hit series Sirens' cast is led by Meghann Fahy as Devon, with Milly Alcock playing her sister, Simone, and Julianne Moore as her enigmatic boss, Michaela Kell. As the series unfolds, Devon becomes increasingly concerned about Michaela's hold on Simone and Simone's willingness to reject her former life and identity.

While some of the information about Sirens' ending, though, Devon makes the tough decision to say goodbye to her sister after Simone makes a shocking play for Michaela's power, leaving the characters' fates somewhat unresolved.

8 Why Did Bruce Recognize Michaela?

Even Though The Series Provides An Explanation, There Is Still Mystery In Their Encounter

Despite not receiving much screen time, Bruce is a complex character in Sirens, as he is both a very negligent father and also suffers from health concerns that greatly impact his quality of life. Bruce is an alcoholic, which led to his and Simone's bad relationship, but he also suffers from early-onset dementia. As a result, when he ends up at Ethan's house and sees Michaela for the first time, he acts as if he recognizes her.

The clearest explanation for Bruce's seeming past with Michaela is that it is truly just a result of his dementia, and he believes her to be his late wife, Devon, and Simone's mother. However, because there is so much in the series that has a magical quality to it, there is some question over whether there could be more to the encounter. As with other characters in the series, Bruce may be drawn to Michaela beyond just his confusion over her identity.

7 Did Simone Really Push Ethan?

Was She Willing To Go That Far?

Ethan and Simone's relationship goes from secret to public and very serious. After worrying about Michaela's opinion of them, Ethan proposes to Simone, only to have her reject him, leading the older man to start drinking in the ensuing hours. By the end of the night, Ethan is drunk and seemingly falls off the cliff by Michaela and Peter's house. However, when he wakes up in the hospital, he says that Simone pushed him.

Simone is a flawed, but far from evil character, making such a cruel act seem unlikely, but ultimately Sirens never revealed if she did push Ethan.

Though the reasonable answer is the simplest (he really did just accidentally fall), the show does leave open the slight possibility that he might be telling the truth. Once the ending reveals that Simone was willing to stab Michaela in the back and take her husband, it does seem possible that she could have wanted Ethan out of the way. Simone is a flawed, but far from evil character, making such a cruel act seem unlikely, but ultimately, Sirens never revealed if she did push Ethan.

6 How Long Will Simone And Peter Last?

They Don't Seem Like Soulmates

Though the series did have a lot of big reveals, by far the most shocking was Simone's decision to confess her love to Peter, ending his marriage to Michaela. Peter had previously kissed Simone, and she stopped him, implying that she was not interested. Thus, rather than love, Simone's decision to stay on the island with Peter was for her own protection and well-being.

Devon remarks earlier in the season that Simone has always spent her life running. Understandably, with such an unsteady childhood, Simone's goal was always to remain in a place of protection and ease, and Peter was the clearest way to that. Because their relationship is not one built on love, though, it is unclear how long it will ultimately last before Simone runs to the next place or person.

5 Was The Bath Scene Between Michaela & Devon Real?

This Was Perhaps The Show's Strangest Moment

One of the series' strangest moments is an unusual scene between Michaela and Devon, which is somewhere between a dream and reality. After smoking weed with Peter and falling asleep, Devon walks downstairs and finds Michaela in the bathtub. The two strike up a conversation about Devon's mother, as the world around them grows blurry.

The sudden jump from Michaela's bathroom to the car could be the result of the weed, it could have been a dream, or the conversation could have been something different altogether.

Devon is clearly upset about the conversation but speaks honestly with Michaela for the first time. Immediately after, though, she wakes up in a car with three of Michaela's followers. The sudden jump from Michaela's bathroom to the car could be the result of the pot, it could have been a dream, or the conversation could have been something different altogether. Whatever the case, Sirens never mentions the moment again.

4 What Did Peter Mean About The Island Creating Strange Dreams?

Peter Had Plenty Of His Own Secrets

Part of what makes Devon's interaction with Michaela even stranger is that it immediately followed a similarly weird conversation with Peter. When he asks if Devon has had any strange dreams recently, she tells him that she does not dream at all. Peter then tells her that the island somehow causes him to have strange dreams and that she may begin to experience these herself, though he does not elaborate on their significance.

There are moments throughout Sirens when the people in and around the Kells' house seem to be cursed, and Peter's assertion about his unusual dreams adds to that mystery. Especially because Devon has a dream-like encounter immediately after speaking to Peter, it truly seems that the show is incorporating a supernatural explanation for the occurrences. Though it can be a bit frustrating not to know the truth about the mysterious dreams of people on the island, it does make the series even more intriguing.

3 Did Michaela, Simone, And Devon Really Have Some Kind Of Power Over Those Around Them?

They Seemed Like The Sirens Of Greek Mythology

From her arrival at the Kells' house, Devon worries that her sister is falling prey to the billionaires' cult, as Michaela seems to have similar traits to other charismatic cult leaders. While it turns out that Michaela is just a rich woman with other rich people surrounding her, there is something unusual about her, Devon, and Simone. Though she does not see it, Devon herself does gain the same level of attention as Michaela, as is evident in the scene of multiple men following her down the beach.

Likewise, Ethan and Peter both fall prey to Simone's charms, and she ultimately ends up hurting Ethan's feelings and stealing Peter away from his wife. The two men are both grown adults and responsible for their actions, as are the men that follow Devon, but the sway that the women have is quite extreme. In part, this works to highlight the show's themes of how women are seen as villains while the actions of men are not as scrutinized, but the mythological aspects could have been explored a bit more.

2 What Is Next For Michaela?

She Turned Out To Be Better Than Devon Thought

Fitting with Simone's decision to pursue Peter, Michaela loses everything at the end of Sirens. In a twist of fate, she ends up on the same ferry off the island as Devon, whom she had been trying to get rid of from the start. Understandably, Devon does sympathize with Michaela's situation, despite their rocky past, and she questions what Michaela will do next now that she has lost her husband, her money, and her nature preservation foundation.

Audiences know that she was a lawyer prior to meeting Peter, and she does mention that she could try to get back into that, making that a solid possibility.

The series leaves Michaela's fate completely up in the air, but there are several paths that the character could conceivably take. Audiences know that she was a lawyer prior to meeting Peter, and she does mention that she could try to get back into that, making that a solid possibility. Alternatively, it could be interesting to see Michaela seek revenge or try to work her way back up into the upper echelons of society, to prove she can do it on her own. Either way, her story is far from over.

1 Will Devon Cash The Check & Change Her Life?

The Series Proved That She Needed To Value Herself More

Like Michaela, Devon ends Sirens at a crossroads in her life, having been changed a lot by her weekend at the Kells' house. She finally realizes that she barely knows Simone and who she has become. Additionally, she chose not to go with Morgan, opting instead to go back to Buffalo to care for her father. Though she is physically returning to the same place, spiritually, it seems like Devon may finally take her own needs seriously, allowing her to get her life together.

What's more, Devon also still has the $10,000 check that Michaela gave to her when she first arrived. If she cashes the check, the money would allow her to get her own place and have more separation from her father. It would also give her the freedom to explore new opportunities and find a new job away from her ex. Overall, Sirens ends in a bittersweet place for many of its characters, but Devon does seem to have grown some in the process.
