00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel. In this video, I will explain the ending of School Spirits
00:04season 1. So, let's begin.
00:07The eighth episode of Paramount's teen series School Spirits, titled Madison's Body, revolves
00:11around Maddie and Simon's efforts to find out whether the former's mother Sandra killed
00:15her. Nicole, Claire, and Xavier try their best to clear the name of Mr. South so that
00:20the atrocities against him would come to an end. Dawn's journey to the beyond surprises
00:26and other spirits of Split River High as they question Mr. Martin's intentions and abilities.
00:32The episode ends with mind-blowing revelations one after the other. If you are intrigued
00:36about the same, here's what we can share, just to let you know this video will contain
00:40spoilers.
00:41Madison's Body begins with Simon searching for Nicole's money in Sandra's house as
00:45per Maddie's instructions. He discovers Maddie's necklace in an envelope and brings the same
00:50to his best friend, only for her to reveal that she had the same when she met her mother
00:54on the day she got killed but not when she woke up in the boiler room, after her death.
00:59Maddie asks Simon to bring her mother to the school so that she can find out whether the
01:02latter is lying about her supposed part in her daughter's death.
01:06Simon accepts that Maddie may move on or cross over when she finally discovers who killed
01:10her. Wally, Charlie, and other spirits want to know how Dawn crossed over to the beyond
01:15when they are not able to. When Mr. Martin fails to help them, they try to find a way
01:19on their own.
01:21Nicole doesn't want to confess to the police that she extorted money from a teacher using
01:24Maddie's identity so that Mr. South will be free of suspicions. She, however, joins Xavier
01:30and Claire to find a way to prove that he is innocent. Xavier meets his father Sheriff
01:35Baxter to let him know that Mr. South was with him the day Maddie was killed. Baxter,
01:40however, dismisses his own son's words. When Baxter ignores Xavier, he realizes that Mr.
01:46South's innocence can only be proven by himself, Claire, and Nicole. They go to the abandoned
01:51house where Maddie's backpack was found, only to encounter the anonymous individual who
01:55ran away from the property upon seeing Xavier.
01:58Simon confronts Sandra about Maddie's death, only for her to detail her meeting with Maddie.
02:03While Sandra opens up about the same, Maddie remembers that her mother only fought with
02:07her but didn't kill her, leaving her clueless concerning the identity of her murderer.
02:11Is Maddie dead or alive?
02:14While Nicole and Xavier go through the rooms of the abandoned house, Claire sees the anonymous
02:18individual who was seen on the property days ago and chases the latter. The person drives
02:23off in Claire's truck but only after Nicole captures a video of the same. In the video,
02:28they see Maddie's reflection in the mirror. When Simon watches the video, he thinks that
02:32the spirit who speaks to him is his imagination, created by his grief of losing his beloved
02:36best friend. However, Maddie's spirit does exist, which means that she was killed.
02:42But Maddie's death is anything but normal. Her body is still alive and that's how the
02:47same is reflected in the mirror of Claire's vehicle.
02:50On the day Maddie apparently got killed, she fought with her mother in the boiler room.
02:55After the fight, she was sitting at the place, only to listen to a cry for help from the
02:58fallout shelter. The cry for help was from Janet, who died alongside Mr. Martin when
03:03the chemistry lab got burnt down.
03:06When Maddie opened the door of the shelter, Janet's spirit ran through Maddie, only to
03:09possess her body, leaving Maddie's spirit behind. Rather than having a normal death,
03:14Maddie died by losing her body to Janet, who started to use the same to live like a human
03:18being. She leaves Split River at the end of the episode to escape from the people looking
03:23for her.
03:24While Wally and Charlie try to find out more about Mr. Martin's death, they discover a
03:28stack of records written by him about the spirits and the struggles they face. In one
03:32of them, he wrote about trauma can thin the line between the worlds of the dead and the
03:36beyond. Similarly, trauma must have thinned the line between the alive and the dead, which
03:41explains how Maddie listened to Janet in the first place.
03:45During the fight with Sandra, Maddie relived her trauma of getting emotionally abandoned
03:49and not cared for after the death of her father. Such an experience must have enabled her to
03:53listen to Janet and become an access point for her.
03:57What does Mr. Martin do to the spirits? Do they really cross over?
04:02The discovery of case files written by Mr. Martin about the mental states and deaths
04:05of the spirits resided, and residing in the high school stuns Wally and Charlie. With
04:10the help of Rhonda, they also find objects the spirits had before the moment they died
04:14as human beings such as Charlie's letter to Emilio, Wally's football, etc.
04:19While pretending to be taking care of the spirits at the place, Martin has been conducting
04:23studies about them. Although the motive and purpose of the same aren't revealed, it is
04:27safe to say that the teacher has been exploring the realm beyond the school using the spirits
04:31at his disposal.
04:33Martin can be relying on the personal information of every spirit to find out how the same influence
04:38their existence in the world of the dead. That can be how he theorized that reliving
04:42trauma can open an access point to the beyond. He must have collected the personal belongings
04:47of the spirits to make them relive the final moments before their deaths, to find out whether
04:51their traumas make them cross over.
04:54When Maddie became a spirit, Wally and Charlie let her know that Janet is the last one to
04:57cross over to the beyond in a long time. Since Janet really didn't cross over to the beyond
05:02but possessed Maddie's body, the process of crossing over can even be Martin's creation.
05:07However, it doesn't mean that a spirit cannot cross over to another realm.
05:12Dawn must have really crossed over, without the help of Martin. That can be the reason
05:16why he gets agitated about the subject when Wally and Charlie talk about the same during
05:20their routine meeting. Martin must be feeling annoyed that Dawn crossed over on her own
05:24while he has been trying to unravel the mystery behind the same for years, does Xavier die?
05:30When Claire sees the anonymous person entering the abandoned house of her stepfather, she
05:34goes inside and informs Nicole and Xavier about it. The trio then chases the person
05:39who is none other than Janet in Maddie's body, only for her to get into Claire's truck.
05:44While Xavier tries to get into the truck, Janet drives the vehicle in reverse, hitting
05:48the former. Although Xavier gets up, he loses consciousness soon. Although Xavier's condition
05:54is critical, it is unlikely that he will die. His unconsciousness can be the result of the
05:59blood loss caused by the hit. Since he receives adequate medical attention soon enough, the
06:04chances of him surviving are immensely high. In addition, Janet hit him with the truck
06:09to stop him from getting into the same and not enough to cause his death.
06:13That's all for now folks. I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks
