The suspense thriller “Triptych” from Netflix is based on a true story and tells the story of three ladies whose lives are utterly turned upside down. Becca learns at the start of the narrative that two other women resemble her perfectly. She is interested in discovering why, throughout the first 33 years of her life, she was unaware of them. This sends her on a path through a maze of secrets, whose discovery results in heartbreaks, betrayals, and some startling revelations. We see several turns and turns in the triplets’ story by the show’s final episode. What the finale entails for them is as follows. Spoilers follow!
Triptych Plot Synopsis
As a forensic specialist, Becca is called to a murder scene where Julia’s psychiatrist, Aleida, was attacked. In the fight, both of them were shot, but only one of them died. Aleida sees Becca before she passes away, and the news that they are identical twins shocks Becca. Becca learns that someone is attempting to cover up the situation when she tries to learn more about Aleida. Due to her personal troubles, Becca finds it harder to deal with the truths that she unearths.
Becca learns that they were indeed triplets while Aleida is dying. This directs her to Tamara, a performer who was previously familiar with Aleida. Becca and Tamara eventually come to work together and develop a close relationship even though they first pursue various avenues to learn more about their deceased sister. Speaking with Julia, who had also been caring for Aleida, gives Becca comfort as well. She also gets support from her boyfriend Humberto, a married guy who works above her and who she dates. Tamara develops a strong relationship with Eugenio, Aleida’s husband, who does not want to lose the authority they shared while she was the company’s CEO as a result of her passing.
Triptych Ending: Is Aleida Dead or Alive?
Aleida is ultimately shot in the series’ first scene. Because of how bad things are, everyone initially thinks she has passed away. Becca then understands that she is still alive, and she is then rushed to the hospital. Afterwards it is revealed that Aleida died from her wounds. As Becca tries to see her dead body, she finds that her family has removed it and cremated it.
Becca finds it more and more difficult to accept that her recently discovered triplet has passed away because she never saw Aleida’s body. Becca has glimpses of Aleida throughout the season that appear more current, and she wonders whether those who separated the triplets when they were little are attempting to keep Aleida hidden so that the public is not made aware of the truth. She is shown to be correct in the last episode.
Humberto betrays Becca and Tamara by kidnapping them while pretending to take them to a safe house. They eventually return to the house where their narrative began after discovering that he had been working with Julia all along. They are kept in glass cages by Julia, who intends to use them as her own personal test subjects. She had also been caring for Aleida down there.
Aleida had been kept close by Julia, who claimed that she was neurotic and schizoid. Eugenio broke his wife out of the mental hospital because he wanted to believe her, but he had no idea what was actually happening. By that time, Aleida had learned about Becca and Tamara, and she was determined to make the entire world aware of Julia’s wrongdoing. Despite the fact that she was shot and survived, Julia had enough connections to pretend Aleida had passed away. She made sure that no one saw Aleida’s corpse with the aid of Humberto, and the support of Eugenio’s family ensured that Aleida’s reputation was untarnished. Eugenio was fully oblivious that his wife had been alive during this entire period, though.
What Happens to Julia?
In the beginning of the episode, Julia seemed like a kind person who wanted to assist Aleida and Becca in learning the truth about their origins and past. Yet, it eventually becomes clear that Julia was the one in charge of their lives ever from their conception. Also, Julia was their biological mother.
The triplets were nothing more than Julia’s property despite having given birth to them. She sent them to live with other families so she could conduct her experiment, and then separated them to see if they would experience separation anxiety. Over time, she not only watched their lives attentively, but also meddled in them. She killed their parents, contributed to Becca’s alcoholism indirectly, and turned Aleida insane. She made up a story about how they were born to a teenage mother so that Becca would nearly believe they were clones of Nazi women when she came looking for answers.
Julia had numerous opportunities to aid the triplets and lessen their suffering. That would not have assisted her experiment if she had made their lives easier. Instead of focusing on their welfare, she would rather lock them up in glass cages. She eventually threatens to kill Aleida in an effort to save herself after the triplets are successful in releasing themselves. The triplets can tell from all of this that their mother doesn’t give a damn about them, even though she may have given birth to them.
Aleida was kept captive in a basement away from her loved ones by Julia, who led the public to believe that she had passed away. Thus, Becca and Tamara determine that she should receive a dose of her own medication when the time comes. They lock Julia in the same basement where she had kept Aleida all this time when they depart the facility. Although though the house contains a number of cages and other items, this basement is particularly hidden, so if someone is unaware of its existence, they are unlikely to look for it. Since no one is aware that Julia is trapped within, she will likely pass the remainder of her days there, experiencing the same loneliness and suffering that she had subjected the triplets to their entire lives.
Is Humberto Dead?
In the show, Humberto was presented as Becca’s lover, who is married with children. They had a passionate relationship, and when it ended, Becca had a nervous breakdown and set fire to his car. The effects of this spread to Aleida and Tamara as well. Humberto attempts to always be there for Becca despite their challenging relationship. They reignite their romance when it becomes apparent that he is still in love with her. Becca lets him in on her inquiry, trusting that he will always have his back.
In the end, it was revealed that Humberto had been working with Julia and had purposefully ingratiated himself into Becca’s life to further complicate matters for her. He was one of, if not the main cause of Becca’s drinking, and every time she seemed to be recovering, he would appear and make things a little more difficult. But eventually, even Eugenio learns the truth about him.
Eugenio and Pilar worry about Becca and Tamara when they abruptly vanish. Humerto ruins their phones while Eugenio tries to track them. Eugenio approaches to Humberto, thinking that he loves Becca and would assist in finding her, after his investigation proves fruitless. They started out to pursue the signal Eugenio had located when he suddenly realised Humberto was not who he seemed. Eugenio surmises that something is amiss with Humberto when he takes a wrong turn and doesn’t appear to care that they are travelling down a lonely road. Since he has been kept in the dark about a number of things, Eugenio has come to the conclusion that he cannot trust anyone when it comes to the triplets. He worries that Humberto might be the one to kill him as he continues along the road to his demise. He attacks Humberto first, which prevents it from happening and causes a car accident.
A police officer tells that Humberto’s automobile was found wrecked on a rural road and that he passed away in the accident in the last scene, after the triplets had survived and everything has turned out okay. This would often have been interpreted as an indication of his passing. We wouldn’t be as certain about it if we hadn’t really seen his lifeless body yet. Then again, based on Eugenio’s response to hearing the news of Humberto’s passing, it appears that he not only personally witnessed it but also likely assisted in it. In any event, we’ll adhere to the principle that a character is not dead unless there is a dead body to establish that, given the murky nature of deaths in the show.
Becca finds it more and more difficult to accept that her recently discovered triplet has passed away because she never saw Aleida’s body. Becca has glimpses of Aleida throughout the season that appear more current, and she wonders whether those who separated the triplets when they were little are attempting to keep Aleida hidden so that the public is not made aware of the truth.
