The Peripheral: Synopsis

The Peripheral is a science fiction series that takes place in two different timelines at the same time: a small town in rural North Carolina in the year 2032, and a futuristic London in the year 2090. The series follows Flynne Fisher, a young woman who lives in North Carolina and becomes involved in a dangerous and complex plot that involves time travel and a dark organization known as Klept.

At the beginning of the series, Flynne receives a virtual reality device developed in the future, through which she contacts Wilf Netherton, a man from the future who tells her that she has something special that makes her a target for both the Klepts and the Institute. Research Institute (IR), a rival organization.

Flynne later learns that Aelita, who is now missing, had stored very valuable information in Flynne's brain (her brain), and that it evolves into a bacterial infection, this information makes her a priority target for both the RI and of the Klept.

In the final episodes of the series, Flynne faces a difficult decision: allow the IR to destroy her timeline and kill her to erase the information from her brain, or try to find a way to keep her safe and out of their reach. that they would use it for their own benefit. In the end, Flynne decides to sacrifice herself to protect the information and her loved ones. The series ends with her death in the North Carolina timeline in the year 2032, and another version of her awakens in a new timeline in the future.

The Peripheral – Ending Explained

During the last episode, Cherise plans to destroy Flynne's entire stub to get rid of the information Aelita stored in Flynne's head. But Flynne will not allow this to happen, as it would also mean the destruction of her entire family and her world. To stop Cherise from destroying the stub and save everyone, Flynne devises a plan to open a new stub and kill her in the current one, thereby hoping to save her entire world.

To carry out this plan, Flynne seeks the help of Ainsley and Conner. The idea is to have Conner kill Flynne but make it appear that Ainsley has murdered her on Cherise's orders, in the hopes that this will convince Cherise that the valuable information has been destroyed along with Flynne.

In the ending of The Peripheral, Flynne sacrifices herself to protect her loved ones from Cherise and prevent the Klept from obtaining the information stored in her head. He will return from another stub that he had previously opened, this will allow him to attack Cherise who is in the London of the future, but now he will not know from where or at what time she has been attacked.

It remains to be seen what will happen to Flynne in the new stub, so we can expect a second season.

As for Flynne's brother, Burton, he must be torn between his loyalty to his sister and his anger toward Conner, who killed Flynne in the North Carolina timeline without his permission. It remains to be seen how this breakup will affect their relationship in the future.


Wilf and Aelita

Flynne and Wilf Netherton visit Wilf's secret place, where they finally find Aelita. Aelita reveals the horrifying truth about the Klepts, the organization she works for. In the past, the Klepts committed genocide to stop the spread of the infection and implanted survivors with devices to suppress their memory. Aelita, who has removed her implant, now remembers everything and tells Wilf her plan to lead a rebellion against the Klepts and the Research Institute.


Lev Zubov and the Post-Credits Scene

Meanwhile, Lev Zubov, the leader of the Klepts, is betrayed by Ash, who reveals the existence of the bacterial infection in Flynne's head to Cherise Nuland, the leader of the Research Institute. This leads Cherise to plan the destruction of Flynne's stub and kill Zubov to destroy the information and prevent the Klepts from getting hold of it.

After the credits, there is an unexpected scene from the second season, in which Lev Zubov meets with his father's associates. At first, Lev is mocked for the difficult situation he finds himself in after recruiting Aelita and Flynne. However, when Lev gets too serious, the trio tells him they're joking but tells him to "cauterize the wound."

What do they mean by "cauterize the wound"? It stands to reason that the partners want Lev to kill anyone who could endanger the Klept, including Flynne, Aelita, Ash, Ossian, and possibly even Wilf. Lev knows that if he is not able to do what he has been asked, he will probably also face a bad end, so he cannot fail.
