Warning: Full spoilers for the ending of Netflix's Daybreak: Season 1 follow...
If you've managed to binge all 10 episodes of Netflix's new nuclear meltdown series Daybreak (check out our full Netflix's Daybreak review here), you're now fully prepped to dive into the ending with us and analyze how the series is being set up for a Season 2.
Daybreak, loosely based on the comic series by Brian Ralph, imagines a world where most of humanity is wiped out by biological nukes, leaving behind the teens and zombifying the adults. The leftover youths from Glendale High School then divide the west San Gabriel Valley up into clique zones, warring with one another for wasteland supremacy. But why does the world only seem to be filled with... these teenagers?
As Matthew Broderick's maniacal (but level-headed) Principal Burr - aka Baron Triumph - reveals in the penultimate episode, those who took part in the school's HPV vaccination survived while the ones who hadn't been immunized died. Grown-ups had aged out of the option so they all got "ghoulie-ized."
Burr, along with Glendale High science teacher Ms. Crumble (Krysta Rodriguez), lived because they were inside the school when the bombs went off, which was built as a double-tough fallout shelter with plenty of lead paint.
Both Burr and Crumble, however, are mutating in mysterious ways. You know, aside from their carnivorous cravings for human blood.
During the final battle, in which the Daybreakers unite the remaining Cheermazons and other straggling groups to fight Burr's jock squad, Burr is undone by a sword laced with peanut butter (revealing the lethal nut allergy Josh figured out he had).
So what kind of powers will Crumble manifest? What is she becoming? Were her perceived abilities part of her delusional state or does she actually have the power to - say - transform into mist?
Crumble, for all intents and purposes, sacrificed herself at the end to manually launch the remaining nuke into orbit. Much to the dismay of Angelica (Alyvia Alyn Lind), who'd begun relying on Crumble as a demented mother figure.
In the final moments of Season 1, the beloved Sam Dean (Sophie Simnett) rejects Josh's "rescue" and embraces the popular status she shunned so hard back in the old world.
Is this a full heel turn? Obviously, not wanting to get back together with Josh, who we discover had been completely rotten to her, doesn't make Sam a villain at all. But the cockiness she displays while sitting on that throne, flanked by Jeanté Godlock's Mona Lisa, sure hints at someone on a power trip.
It's likely that Sam isn't intended to be the "Big Bad" of Season 2, but rather her choice to be the "Sam Dean" everyone thinks she is will further strain her relationship with Josh - while also keeping Josh off the throne a little while longer (or altogether).
Plus, there are enough lingering mysteries looming to give the show a new massive threat to face.
What did you think of Daybreak's Season 1 ending? Did you enjoy the gloopy mystery arm and Sam's shocking swerve? Let us know below.
