SPOILER ALERT: The follow story contains details from the Season 1 finale of Peacock’s The Resort.In today’s Season 1 finale of Peacock’s The Resort, a core relationship was mended, as long-separated family members were reunited and major mysteries resolved.Operating on multiple timelines, as was the case with past installments, the episode opens in flashback on teenagers Sam (Skyler Gisondo) and Violet (Nina Bloomgarden), who make their way down into the caverns of the enigmatic Pasaje as the hurricane at the center of the story hits, after falling asleep in the jungle.

Inside the caves, they find waters that swiftly rise and trap them, with the pair for a moment seeming to have met their end.Our present-day timeline finds Emma (Cristin Milioti) and Noah (William Jackson Harper) venturing into the caves alongside Baltasar Frías (Luis Gerardo Méndez) and Murray (Nick Offerman), with the pairs ultimately finding two different tunnels into Pasaje’s interior and going their separate ways.

Murray recounts to Baltasar the story of his globe-trotting adventures over the last 15 years — amidst an existential crisis, following his daughter Violet’s disappearance — with Baltasar then encountering and taming the yellow snake, symbolic of the family history he’s been running from.Noah is at the same time boosting Emma up into a tight tunnel, where she gets stuck, before clawing her way to the other side.

There, she finds a whirlpool with Sam and Violet’s seemingly dead bodies floating into it. As she looks into the water, she has a supernatural experience — presumably getting a glance at the daughter she’d lost at birth all those years ago, and had never before seen.
