Lockwood & Co. Ending Explained: What Happened at the End?

By Rupinder Kaur On Feb 26, 2023

We have a new science fiction mystery series, and this one didn’t let us down. The story centred on Lucy Carlyle, Anthony Lockwood, and George Karim. The three of them made up Lockwood & Co, which was part of the Independence Agency and got rid of ghosts in homes.

But because they were a small agency, they had their own ways of doing things and working with Deeprack, which was in charge of everything. Since this first season had two main stories about the same pig, let’s a review, break down, and explain everything we should have learned from it, along with the Lockwood & Co Ending Explanation.

Lockwood & Co. Ending Explained

Lockwood & Co was all about the place in the world where a problem happened. We were never given a good explanation, but there was a short period of time when something happened that let ghosts roam the streets, take over the place where they died, and haunt the people of the world.

Most of the time, the spirit was powered by something that was called a source, like Annabelle’s ring when they found her in the chimney. The ghost could only be tamed by putting the source in something that was iron-coated or covered because that was the only thing that kept them from running away. Because these things were so powerful, they were used to make chains and blankets throughout the show.

What Happened With Annabelle?

Annabelle, a well-known actor from the 1980s, was killed in the first case we saw the group work on. This is when we found out how much more power Lucy had than Anthony and George. Lucy was good at listening and using sound to find ghosts by putting them in touch with them. So much so that every time Annabelle woke up, she felt like she had a link to her.

We saw them figure out that Sir John Fairfax was the one who killed Annabelle. And in the end, they let Annabelle’s spirit take over him, letting her get her revenge. This meant that Annabelle was no longer angry with Lockwood and Co. I thought this story was very interesting, and I would have been happy for it to go on for a bit longer. As this was where we really got to know the characters and see how they changed.

Bickerstaff And The Bone-Glass Mirror

In this Lockwood & Co Ending Explanation, let’s talk about the Bone glass mirror. So, after the Annabelle case, we moved on to the main plot of the rest of the Lockwood & Co. series, which was all about the Bone glass mirror that everyone had. Edmund Bickerstaff made this mirror about 100 years ago before the problem began.

George stole the skull a long time ago, but it belonged to someone who worked for Bickerstaff. And we found out that he was a Type 3 ghost because Lucy could talk to him. She was only one of two people in the world who could do what she did. Marissa Fitz was the other one. She was very well-known and the face of the most prestigious organisation.

The Bone glass mirror was made from the bones of seven people Bickerstaff killed in the past so he could do what he needed to do. Bickerstaff was a member of a cult, and at the time, no one thought that a world where ghosts walk around was real.

People said that if you looked into this mirror, you could see what was beyond. So, it wasn’t a mirror-like everyone thought it was. Instead, it was a window into eternity. However, adults weren’t able to see it ends. So, Pamela was the one who tricked George into thinking he would be the one to look inside it, even though she wouldn’t have been able to see its value.

The small look they both got when they dug up the grave early in the season was enough to make them both obsessed with it. As the season went on, George got worse and drew the symbol more and more.

Pamela wanted to bring Bickerstaff back to life because he was ahead of his time and a visionary for the world he lived in. So bringing him back would have let him use what he knew in the world today. But because he was a serial killer, that was a very dangerous thing to do.

Lucy snuck down to rescue George and get the bone glass mirror. When she got there, she saw that George was actually trapped. Lucy offered to look at herself in the mirror as if she could do it. But instead, she put the talking head in front of the beam. The head absorbed the effects of the beam until George ran into it and broke it. When Pamela looked at the broken pieces, it broke her.

But when the mysterious man with the Golden Blade hurt Lockwood, we saw that he came down at the right time and threw his rapier at the ghost of Bickerstaff while he was still there. This killed Bickerstaff for good.

Deeprack got the bone glass mirror, and he made sure that it would be broken. But the mysteries weren’t over yet. As the mysterious man with the Golden Blade went to fight Lockwood, he told Anthony that the deaths of his parents were not important. This means that he knew about Lockwood’s past, which we never got to learn about.

But at the end of the episode, we saw him talking to Fitz, which shows that she may not be the clean-cut public figure that everyone thinks she is. She said in the ball that people see what they want to see, which was around the middle of the season. So, I’m sure she’s playing a part, and I think she has a very dark side that she doesn’t let the public see.

How Did Lockwood & Co End? What Was Behind The Mysterious Door?

We never got to find out what was behind the mysterious door in Lockwood’s house. It was almost like a metaphor for look what’s past, a door that was never opened. But at the end of Season 1 of Lockwood and Company, he opened the door and showed Lucy and George what was behind it. But the show cut to black before we could see it, so I think we will learn more about it in Lockwood and Co Season 2.

Some people have ideas about what could be going on. I’m sure it will have something to say about his parents or his whole family. Since we know that both of his parents are dead, there could be two people behind the door. One for his mother and one for his father. That’s why they’re locked up and can’t be opened by anyone.

Or, they could be type three, which means they’re stuck in this world and can only talk to certain people. If that’s the case, Lucy might be able to talk to them if they’re behind the door.

Lockwood And Co Season 1 Review

I think that the second season of Lockwood and Co. definitely ended on a cliffhanger. So, I think we’ll have to wait and see what happens if it gets ordered. The first season of the show was pretty good, in my opinion. We learned a lot about the characters’ pasts, especially Lucy’s, which was the whole point of the first episode. We also got to see how they changed over the course of the eight episodes.

The right number of episodes for this show was eight. It wasn’t too long, and it seemed like the show said everything it needed to say in that amount of time. Even though I hadn’t seen the three main characters in anything before, I thought they gave convincing performances that fit the show’s mood.

I thought that Lucy and Lockwood were the two strongest people. I liked that there were two main cases to follow throughout the whole show. I would say that, even though I liked the Annabelle case better, and I thought we could have spent the whole season on that. Just because it was a little more interesting and the revelations happened faster.

Even though this show had twists, they didn’t feel like big surprises. There were no real surprises, and I think they should have told us who the man with the Golden Blade was. We never did really find out who he was, and I wish we had.

I hope there will be a second season of Lockwood and Co. because it was definitely original and one of the most interesting things to come out on the platform in a while. Since it was based on novels, the stories were already there, so I guess it just depends on if people want to see it on screen as well as on paper.
