It would make sense why the bird was inside the house, being quite familiar with it and all, and why it gave Rob-As-Louise a good stare-down before flying off. So the theory here is that before Louise-As-Adele had completely overdosed to the point of no return, Louise's spirit escaped unnoticed and, perhaps out of desperation, entered the body of that particular pigeon. Even beyond her spirit taking on that hue, Louise had on some form of green clothing for seemingly 90% of her outfits. That's right, Louise is all green everything in Behind Her Eyes.

EYES BEHIND HER PATCH

Because, if you'll notice, the pigeon sported a patch of bright green feathers, and we all know what the color green represents in this show, right? It wasn't the first bird-centric moment in this show (more on the lower), but its placement and timing made it seem far more meaningful than random. Just after Rob-As-Louise arrived at Louise's apartment for the first time, there was a cooing pigeon on a kitchen counter, and the two beings starred at each other before the pigeon flew off.

(Assuming you all ARE people.) Perhaps the biggest underlying theory inspired by Behind Her Eyes is 100% pigeon-related.

It's one of the darkest TV endings I can think of, and the show is all the more amazing for it.

Rob-As-Louise then dragged her outside to wait for the authorities, and the series ended with Rob-As-Louise assimilating to a new life by getting married to David, leaving poor young Adam to presumably be raised by a total monster.

But that's when Rob took over Louise's body, forcing her spirit to jump into Adele's heroin-filled, slowly dying body. Preying upon Louise's kind nature, Rob-As-Adele sparked a fire and faked a suicide attempt, causing Louise to send her green spirit into the house to check it out. With David wanting out of the marriage, Rob-As-Adele put his plan to work a second time with Louise, who was still only a novice in the astral projection department. To sum that up, while it was implied that David killed Rob in a fit of jealousy, it was actually Rob-As-Adele who killed Adele-As-Rob, and David's entire stake in the murder was tied to blackmail, since his incriminating watch also fell to the bottom of the well. His blue spirit (for lack of a better word) entered Adele's body, and he then used heroin to murder his former corporeal form before dumping it and Adele's purple spirit into the well. While they were in the midst of an astral projection session outside, Rob put his severely heinous plan into play. In the final episode, it was revealed that back when Adele's friend Rob (Robert Aramayo) visited her family's estate after their rehab stint, Rob's envy and desperation completely took over. There's no succinct way to say all this, but here we go.

(Image credit: netflix press) How Behind Her Eyes Ended Without further ado, let's get to counting our fingers so we can walk through our first door to the creepiest pop culture moment related to pigeons since Home Alone 2. Which is where the batshit crazy (but still plausible) theories come into play.īelow, I'll attempt to briefly sum up Behind Her Eyes singularly bonkers ending, and will then dive into the two hilariously nutty and thought-provoking theories that easily give all the WandaVision speculation a run for its mental money. But it soon becomes something far more sinister and playfully depraved, with a little bit of supernatural soul-swapping tying all the twisty mysteries together. The story first sounds like a tawdry made-for-cable movie, with Simona Brown's Louise Barnsley unwittingly infringing upon the disintegrating marriage between psychiatrist David Ferguson (Tom Bateman) and his long-suffering wife Adele (Eve Hewson). Based on Sarah Pinborough's 2017 novel of the same name, Netflix's jaw-dropping limited series Behind Her Eyes is a fever dream of fractured personalities and mysterious motivations, coming off as a pitch-black whodunnit where it's not even clear at first what the 'it' in 'whodunnit' means.
