Bruno, on the other hand, goes to meet Martin only to break up with him after what happened with his grandfather and for the latter’s ignorance. Unaware that Rogue has followed him to find out about Martin’s location.
Deva gives Laura’s maps that she had made for her parents to the two. She then sends the video of Deva being sexually assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend Ricardo to her mother Lucia, which leaves the latter devastated. Lucia then goes to attack Ricardo only for us to later hear her screams.
Deva goes back to the tree house one last time to say goodbye to her friend when a wounded Ricardo asks her about the video that she had sent to Lucia. He then attacks her and tries to kill her when Alma’s ghost arrives and pushes him away and falls. Deva leaves the body and pushes Ricardo down the tree house.
Laura then arrives to take Deva along with her, and after the two push Alma back into her body, they bid her a beautiful goodbye and leave. Having gotten back her life she then pushes Tom to fulfil his dream of studying in the US while she waits here.

She then goes to meet Aurora who gives her the water flower pendant that was passed to her by her teacher. She tells her that she will help others like she helped Alma and how she has been waiting for her for centuries.
Elsewhere, after having sent Martin to Bruno, the former’s sister thinks about the prophecy which talks about a family member sending him away to Therion. Unaware that Bruno too has been possessed by a demon and is now surrounded by the five brothers who will bring back Therion.
This ending just points towards a definite season 2 because this is not an ending but the beginning of a story that will blow us away.
While Alma has finally gotten back her body, which is well-relieving, things don’t end here for her. As Aurora has said that she has been swapping bodies and waiting for her, not to mention the mark on her which only further points towards a story that will blow our minds away!
The Girl in the Mirror is available on Netflix.

Let’s hope there’s a season 2. I’m so done with Netflix (and Amazon) leaving cliffhanger’s for a season 2 that never happens.
Very puzzling and disappointing that Netflix does not seem to have renewed it for Season 2 (yet). There were a lot of angles left to be explored and resolved, and AFAIK most people who’ve seen the show have liked it. Commercial considerations are weird, sometimes. Hope to hear about Season 2 soon, would be a very big pity if Netflix just left it hanging indefinitely on that cliffhanger /unresolved ending.
Surely this deserves a closure with a proper Season 2, being a very tantalizing series indeed-replete with themes of stolen identities, reincarnation and unreliable memories, not to mention a double-crossings/ betrayal tally that could almost rival the GoT/ House of Dragons Universe! Quite a bit deeper than most of other films/series in the supernatural thriller genre, this one reflected on real-world issues in a rather imaginative, otherworldly way. IMO, this series was a gripping glimpse into grief and loss and their ripple effects even on the survivors and their families. Particularly in terms of how youngsters struggle to come to grips with friends and loved ones meeting an untimely, violent demise.
Also, amidst the summoning of mythical supernatural demons and sinister body swapping, it was noteworthy for the very tender and romantic exploration of the burgeoning relationship between the characters of Bruno and Martin. Most series exploring LGBT relationships tend to fetishize them into extreme raunchiness (Elite being a prime example) or else turn them into cliched portrayals. This one was a welcome breath of fresh air in this regard. Pol Monen’s subtle and nuanced portrayal of Bruno’s character was very laudable and one of the highlights of the show.
