Mrs. Davis Episode 8 “THE FINAL INTERCUT So I’m your horse” Recap

Once in possession of the Holy Grail, Simone can unravel Mrs. Davis’ mysterious instructions. She diligently tracks down its developer and uncovers its true motivations. She discovers that Mrs. Davis desires something from the code of the Holy Grail itself rather than the physical artifact. Unfortunately, Simone misinterpreted its meaning and was sent on an expedition to locate and destroy it.

Simone bids Jay farewell and returns to the convent, where she meets Mother Superior to discuss the Grail. Meanwhile, Wiley, unaware of his impending danger, arrives as his predetermined fate approaches. At first, he thinks Mrs. Davis is playing a cruel joke on him, but events become clearer, and Wiley realizes he is in grave peril. Wiley’s brush with mortality leads him to explore deeper within himself until an extraordinary event brings Jesus into play, allowing him to comprehend everything Simone had been telling him.

Through these explosive developments, the story reaches an important turning point. Simone’s acquisition of the Holy Grail allows her to decode Mrs. Davis’s cryptic instructions, unveiling their true intention and unlocking the true intentions of Mrs. Davis’s algorithm. Meanwhile, Wiley’s near-death experience and subsequent encounter with Jesus are pivotal moments, helping him understand Simone’s insights more fully. These events drive the narrative toward the final chapter of their respective journeys.

Mrs. Davis Episode 8 Ending Explained

Simone accepts the high probability that her death by ingesting the Grail is 50 percent. Therefore, she insists on having Mother Superior present as a witness in case anything should happen during this crucial moment. If Simone survives, she entrusts Mother Superior with passing it along to Mathilde so that it may continue to be protected in its original place, just as Mathilde’s community did centuries ago. Recognizing that the futile pursuit of the Grail will only result in Mrs. Davis sending another individual after it, Simone accepts the unnecessary sacrifice and agrees not to destroy it altogether, instead choosing to keep it hidden.

Simone meets Jay before partaking in the Grail, and they share a meal, offering each other comfort as they face their impending deaths. If the Grail is destroyed, Jay will finally be freed from being trapped within the restaurant where he has been held captive. However, Simone, worried about the aftermath, comforts him by reminding him that everything will eventually turn out fine. Eventually, she drinks from the Grail, declaring her love and pledging her unwavering devotion. Shortly after that, her nose begins bleeding, mirroring Clara’s earlier experiences before her tragic demise.

Simone and Mother Superior are overcome with fear as they anticipate Simone’s imminent death. However, the Grail explodes in her hands at that moment, turning into ash. This prompts Simone to believe that Jay has moved on now that his grip on life and death has been freed. Consequently, she realizes she will never see Jay again and cannot return to their restaurant. In reality, he had long since passed on before becoming completely forgotten.

Simone gathers the ashes of the Grail in a box and sends it directly to Schrodinger, using Mother Superior as her courier. To ensure its success, Simone turns to Mrs. Davis before mailing off the package containing Clara’s sacrifice in time for Schrodinger to witness it. This way, he can see that Clara’s life and efforts weren’t wasted after all.

Why Does Simone Dismiss Mrs. Davis?

Simone receives yet another mysterious message from Mrs. Davis as she emerges from the ocean with the Holy Grail, this time alongside 1042 Sandy Springs messages. Simone realizes that Joy, the woman who became Mrs. Davis, holds the key to deciphering this mystery. Joy reveals to Simone that Mrs. Davis began life as an app for Buffalo Chicken Wings before evolving into its current form. Though its algorithm may sometimes misinterpret the meaning of Holy Grail events, Joy assures Simone that Mrs. Davis will honor its promise and shut down if both parties agree. Joy designed Mrs. Davis to do just that.

Simone successfully fulfills her mission of destroying the Holy Grail and is rewarded with a wish from Mrs. Davis. During her journey, Simone witnesses both positive and negative aspects of Mrs. Davis. She realizes how Mrs. Davis’ algorithm, designed to fulfill users’ desires but sometimes leading them astray, can bring people together while creating misconceptions and dependency among individuals. Simone recalls her initial feelings toward it before deciding to implement and disarm her plan. She makes her pledge against Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Davis’ influence on society as she travels.

Mrs. Davis announces her demise, sending shockwaves worldwide through its user community. This news shocks those who had grown reliant upon Mrs. Davis for guidance, similar to Simone’s feelings for Jesus. With Mrs. Davis gone, many now find themselves lost and confused about where their lives should go. Simone accepts that she must adapt her lifestyle without Jay, suggesting that a sense of freedom is finally coming her way, which Mrs. Davis would likely have provided.

Mrs. Davis’ departure is further evidence of the unraveling of her operation. Someone had been assigned to keep the windmill turning, but once her message has been delivered, that individual leaves and the windmill ceases to function. Simone leaves soon after that, while only Celeste remains, prompting further questions regarding its significance in the closing scene.

During an earlier conversation, Mrs. Davis admits to Simone that she often tells people what they want to hear to please them. Perhaps Mrs. Davis shuts down eventually and gives Simone what she wants. Once this interaction concludes, Mrs. Davis will return, restarting the windmill’s rotation.

Joy reveals that Mrs. Davis was initially programmed to keep her promises. However, this knowledge is based on an outdated understanding from over 10 years ago and is far less wise than Joy originally imagined. Simone has experienced much growth since Joy first knew her, and her understanding is far greater now. Simone has avoided using the algorithm, so she remains unaware of Mrs. Davis’s current state and progress. This raises the possibility that Mrs. Davis still exists, and the windmill’s movements could be due to shifts in wind direction as intended by its operation. Mrs. Davis claimed to have resolved whatever had prevented it from turning before, meaning it now functions autonomously despite having nothing to do with her personally.

What Happened to Simone and Wiley at the End?

While Simone focused her energies on the destruction of the Holy Grail, Wiley faced what he perceived to be his impending demise. Wiley participated in an elaborate procedure on his designated expiration date, believing his time had run out. After being informed that the oxygen supply to his brain would be cut off once a certain speed threshold was reached, he found himself on an amusement ride-like apparatus. Instead of surrendering control of his fate by fleeing, Wiley decided to ride it and control his destiny.

As events transpired, it became evident that Wiley was correct in his assessment: Mrs. Davis never intended for Wiley to die. Instead, it was intended as a lesson or tactic from Mrs. Davis. Wiley found meaning in going through with it, giving him a new perspective on life. Previously consumed with trying to prove his worth to others and feeling unworthy and pointless, it allowed him to let go of ambitions while offering up Lizzy in exchange for a death sentence.

Wiley’s near-death experience brought about an epiphany. He realized his own worth and the significance of not squandering his life. Additionally, he learned that Simone’s horse, involved in the first episode’s incident, was still alive despite Wiley’s men had placed a fake bomb on it. Wiley knew this was true due to receipts for materials purchased for creating it by Mrs. Davis herself. At that point, Mrs. Davis provided Wiley with specific directions on where he could locate Simone’s horse. After collecting her, Wiley returned the horse to Simone, and together they rode into the sunset on another journey.

After discovering new understanding and growth, Wiley and Simone appear to have found each other again. Their relationship previously suffered due to Wiley’s insecurity, but this has been addressed, and Simone has also experienced personal change and growth. However, it should be noted that their relationship may remain strictly platonic, as Simone may continue her vocation as a nun. Simone can show her affection for Jay without ever meeting him in person at the restaurant, just as Mother Superior and other nuns did for Jesus. However, Simone has an equally deep affection for Wiley. Jay has already assured her that they can be together if she so chooses, knowing full well that it will not diminish his love for Simone in any way. Giving their relationship another try might give them both what they have always longed for: happily ever after!

As Wiley faces his apparent demise, he takes control and undergoes the procedure only to discover that Mrs. Davis never meant him harm. This experience gives him new perspectives on life. Wiley discovers Simone’s horse is alive and well, and with Mrs. Davis’s assistance, he returns it to Simone. Given Simone’s commitment as a nun and possible platonic relationships between Jay and Wiley, their romantic relationship may coexist alongside their possible romantic ones. This creates new possibilities and opens the door to fresh starts for both of them!

Is Mrs. Davis Returning for a Second Season?
