Warning: This article includes major spoilers for the girlfriend!
Video’s bonus The girlfriend is a madlyed oedipal thriller which falls towards a dramatic end which breaks down the secrets of Cherry and a shocking death. The story presents three main characters: Laura (Robin Wright), Cherry (Olivia Cooke) and Daniel (Laurie Davidson). Daniel, a rich CAD, becomes a customer of the real estate company Cherry, in the hope of meeting her.
After Daniel and Cherry started to go out together, she tries to hide her poor history. She looks into the lie about her education when he meets Daniel’s parents. Unfortunately, Daniel’s mother Laura has her son, whom she treats more like a boyfriend than a son. Although she tries to be opened at the cherry, she quickly becomes jealous, as indicated in The girlfriendtrailer. Her jealousy leads her to discover Cherry’s lies.
After an climbing accident left Daniel in the hospital, Laura lies in Cherry, saying that his son died. In addition, she also lies in Daniel, convincing him that Cherry abandoned her because of his accident. When the truth is discovered, it leads to a dramatic end, which opposes Laura and Cherry against each other in a competition on which is more disturbed.
How Laura dies in the girlfriend
The dialogue in the first cryptic scene of the girlfriend leads to the belief that Laura will kill Cherry at the end of the show. However, the final returns this dynamic. Laura plans to kill her son’s girlfriend. First of all, she tries to stab Cherry, then she tries to drown her. Laura ends up dying, not a cherry.
The interesting part is that it does not occur in the hands of the expected individual. Instead, in the real Oedipus Rex style, Daniel kills one of his parents without knowing it. Except, in a torsion of the fable, he kills the mother whom he loves more than anything. In a drug addict, Daniel stumbles in the basement to see Laura Noyer Cherry.
Daniel’s protective instincts come into play and he is forced to choose one of the women. Rather than standing near his mother, he is his loss. He separates women by pushing Laura underwater. In the midst of Cherry’s verification, Daniel does not realize that he has held Laura’s head for too long, killing her.
In the end, the way Laura dies is tragic for several reasons. Daniel will have to live with the guilt of having murdered his mother, who engaged in emotional incest with him. He is also stuck with Cherry, to whom he will undoubtedly become to feel. In addition, it doesn’t matter that Daniel had chosen, he would be stuck with a manipulative and dangerous woman.
Cherry’s secret past in the girlfriend explained
Before the end of the girlfriend, the show reveals that Cherry played a role in the injury of his father, which we will dissect in the next section. However, the most disturbing revelation occurs in the last moments of the series. When Daniel finds his mother’s phone, he sees the video that Laura recorded his conversation with Cherry’s mother.
In the audio, Cherry’s mother mentions that the attack on Cherry’s father was not an isolated event. Instead, she reveals that Cherry did worse that “windows her face” when he treated children at school who took his toys and the boy who held him in university dance. This implies that she could have killed the latter.
Finally, Cherry’s mother warns that Daniel must be careful with Cherry, because, in the end, she will find a way to “get rid of him” when he does not give her what she wants. This aligns with her behavior towards Laura, who Cherry is friendly until Laura ceases to act as she wants.
What has really happened to Cherry’s father
When Cherry will visit his father, he has a very dramatic reaction to his presence, then she leaves. It was the first clue that she was responsible for her condition. Later, he came out that Cherry continued his father to face her to leave her and her mother. In the end, she pushes him, making him fall.
Based on the way she addresses the incident in the last episode, it seems that Cherry did this on purpose, rather than acting on the impulse and feeling bad about it. This shows that its previous drastic steps, like hitting your head with a drink and vandalizing art, were not made from a place of emotion. Instead, it was probably a calculated movement.
Cherry is it after Daniel’s money?
The girlfriend brings back between the prospects of Cherry and Laura, with each painting the story in a radically different way. Laura’s perspective shows Cherry as a woman who is only with Daniel to get her money.
In Michelle Frances’ book, there is a much stronger argument for the truth. However, this really does not seem to be the case in the original main video show.
Cherry is not against the use of Daniel’s money for things, but it does not often. Even when she takes the additional money from the flight, she buys clothes specifically intended to impress Daniel’s family so that they integrate with them. It is less of itself and more to make a good impression on the family of the man she loves.
More frequently, she puts herself debt to impress Daniel, without ever telling her how much she spent. She tries to succeed in her own merits at work, despite her education by disadvantaging her. In addition, she fears to go out with Daniel because he is rich and “A Branker.“As such, it is more likely that she has chosen Daniel according to the personality.
Is Laura in love with her son?
While Laura passes the series convinced that Cherry is after Daniel’s money, Cherry passes the confident series that Laura is essentially in love with her son. It is easy to reject the first, but the second is unfortunately not entirely baseless. Although she is not in love with him, in itself, Laura engages in emotional incest with her son.
She expects him to meet his emotional needs in the way a partner would. He is not allowed to put his own desires before that of his mother, even if he is an adult. In addition, they become so tangled that he lies on Laura’s bad behavior to protect his reputation, and he feels guilty when she is upset.
She is also very delicate with her son, to the point where I said “Yikes” several times throughout the girlfriend. At one point, they kiss even on the lips. For these reasons, and even more, this story is simultaneously Oedipale, that is to say when a son is in love with his mother, and Jocastal, that is to say that the roles are reversed.
Howard & Laura’s open relationship explained
Throughout the girlfriend, Howard desperately tries to please his wife, Laura. At first, it means opening their marriage. He finds a girlfriend named Mariane, thinking that this is what his wife wants. Then, when she approaches him to close the marriage, he accepts and breaks with Marianne.
Unfortunately, nothing Howard never seems to be good enough for Laura. She continually puts all her time and attention on her son to the sacrifice of her husband. The only person, apart from his son, who really seems to bring his joy is his ex-girlfriend, Lilith.
However, we do not know if she is really satisfied with Lilith or if she finds comfort in Lilith because the ex-girlfriend allows her toxic relationship with her son. There may be some of the two because there is real chemistry between women. Anyway, it is understandable why Howard is so fast next to Cherry, who validates his feelings and Daniel.
The importance of the song “Everybody supports women” in the girlfriend
The song “Everybody support Women” by Sophia Isella is played several times in the girlfriend, which is particularly remarkable since the bingable show only lasts six episodes. In the end, the words connect directly to the central conflict of the hot thriller.
As much as it is the terrible relationship between a girlfriend and a mother, it is quickly akin to a love triangle, due to the Oedipal nuances. Although they really like Daniel, the competition quickly turns into a battle between two women who hate each other, despite the apparently support of other women in their general life.
As Isella’s song says, “Everyone supports women until a woman does better than you.“Cherry hates Laura to be richer and have Daniel’s admiration. Laura hates Cherry to be prettier and have Daniel’s love. It ends up being a battle on who can manipulate Daniel more effectively.
How the end of the girlfriend sets up season 2
The girlfriend does not necessarily need a second season, because she feels complete as she is. Daniel discovers that he is trapped in a marriage to a woman who is both dangerous and dislocated without an easy outing. However, an aspect of the end sets up a scenario for a possible second season.
In the final scene, Cherry is extremely pregnant, seeming to give birth any day. Now that Daniel knows Cherry’s secret past and his manipulative behavior, season 2 of the girlfriend could immerse himself on how Daniel faces information now that they are going to be parents.
In addition, the child Cherry and Daniel could cause conflicts that lead to the cherry after her husband The girlfriendsecond season. She could become more and more hostile and control while he tries to leave with their child.
