# Unmasking the True Killer in 'His & Hers': The Shocking Twist That No One Saw Coming Imagine returning to your sleepy hometown, only to uncover that your own mother has been orchestrating a deadly revenge plot right under your nose—what if the serial killer hiding in plain sight was family?[3] The Netflix series *His & Hers*, adapted from Alice Feeney's gripping novel, drops viewers into the heart of Dahlonega, Georgia—a tiny town where everyone knows everyone's secrets. Estranged couple Anna Andrews (Tessa Thompson), a sidelined Atlanta news anchor, and Detective Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal) get pulled back together by a brutal murder: Rachel, one of Anna's high school friends, stabbed 40 times in the woods.[1][3] As bodies pile up—including the school headmaster and Jack's sister Zoe—all linked by red friendship bracelets Anna made back in the day, suspicion swirls around old cliques and buried traumas.[1] The plot thickens with revelations from Anna's past. At 16, during a party in the woods set up by Rachel, Anna and her friend Catherine (now the blonde anchor Lexy Jones, played by Rebecca Rittenhouse) were sexually assaulted by older men. Anna distanced herself from the group afterward, but the pain lingered.[1][3] Midway through the finale, it seems Lexy/Catherine is the killer, targeting her high school tormentors with Anna next on the list. Priya, Jack's sharp-shooting partner, saves Anna just in time.[3] But hold on—the real mastermind is Alice, Anna's mother. In a chilling letter Anna discovers, Alice confesses to the murders, framing Lexy because she knew Catherine's traumatic history made her the perfect scapegoat. Alice planted evidence to throw off the police while eliminating those who hurt her daughter two decades ago.[3] Her motive? Pure, protective rage. Shattered by the assault Anna endured—while one friend fled and others revelled in the misery—Alice sought vengeance, even reuniting Anna's family and thrusting her back into the spotlight.[2][3]
