Locke and Key Season 1 took us on an epic journey filled with magical keys,
evil demons and family secrets.
Culminating with a series of shocking twists in the Season 1 finale.
Ok, so let's break it down, with the help of Locke and Key co-showrunners
At the beginning of Season 1, Episode 10, Dodge shows up at Keyhouse
with the Crown of Shadows, which activates a horde of evil shadow monsters.
I hope you don't mind, I invited some friends.
Just in the nick of time, Bode discovers that Dodge
and her shadow monsters can be weakened by light.
You're not gonna hurt us anymore!
Did I kill her?
Eager to get rid of Dodge (or who we THINK is Dodge),
once and for all, Kinsey hatches a plan.
What if we send her back where she came from?
What are you talking about?
We use the Omega Key to open the Black Door and send her back.
Backup arrives.
Demon disposal service. You rang?
And they all carry Dodge's body to the mysterious Black Door in the caves.
Kinsey opens the door using the Omega key they found in Rendell's urn.
Just as Dodge is waking up, they toss her through.
Tyler! No!
So they all live happily ever after. Right?
Not exactly
You threw her through the door? In the cave?
Yeah.
And you're sure it was Dodge?
Why would you ask that?
The kids believe, at the end of the finale, that they have
thrown Dodge through the Black Door.
-On through the other side. -But alas.
But alas, we learn, it wasn't Dodge. No. It was actually Ellie.
What are you doing?
They were tricked. And poor Ellie is now on the other side of the door.
What that means for Ellie, whether Ellie is dead, a demon,
in suspension, well that's kind of
-a season 2 question. -Stay tuned.
Hold up. What exactly is behind the mysterious Black Door?
What do you think is behind the Omega Door.
Well, nothing good, Meredith.
Let me just put it that way.
First of all, it looks gelatinous. It's like demon jello.
Yea.
There's a lot of things back there that you don't want to let into our world.
Thus the existence of the door.
There's some more bad news about that door.
Remember when the kids thought they closed
the Black Door without letting anything out?
They were wrong.
We have Eden, right?
Yes.
She gets hit by one of these demon bullets that comes out of the door.
And then we see her in this diner with a very large appetite,
which we know is been associated with demonology
In other points of the show. She's a demon.
Ok, so mean girl Eden is now an actual demon. And as it turns out
she's not the only one.
So we reveal at the end of our finale that Gabe
(who we meet in Episode 2 and seems to be this young teenage boy who just started at Matheson).
We learn that actually, all along he has been Dodge.
That Dodge has used the identity key to transform herself into a young teenage boy
in order to manipulate and get closer to Kinsey.
Did Griffin always know that he was playing a demon character?
Actually he did. I remember an early conversation with Griffin when I called him
to let him know that he was not just gonna be playing this teenage boy,
but in fact, that he's actually going to be reveled he's a deamon,
and he was so excited to get to play a villain because he had never played a villain before.
It really thrilled him. That little moment at the end of the episode where
he's riding on his bike and he gives that leering smile.
-The look. Oh it's the best. -Oh, it's like...
Aww. It's going to be so good.
Season 2 is going to be so good with him.
