Gabe/Dodge
Devastated by the loss of his girlfriend after the Alpha Key failed to save her, Tyler Locke decides that Gabe/Dodge must be killed. It’s a good call, because Gabe is planning to send his hoard of demons over to Keyhouse to kill Nina Locke (and any other Lockes they can get their hands on) in the process, with the exception of Kinsey, who the Gabe version of Dodge has become obsessed with. Gabe wants her to join his ranks voluntarily.
In the finale face-off, the Locke siblings and Uncle Duncan aren’t about to sit around and wait to be attacked again, so they go on the offensive at Gabe’s cliff-edge villa and Kinsey pretends to throw herself off the cliff using the Angel Key as a distraction while Duncan, Tyler and Scot try to break into the vault and snatch the Demon Key. Unfortunately, Gabe/Dodge and the hoard are too powerful, but Duncan has an unexpected trick up his sleeve: his blood is tied to the Demon Key, and he can therefore command the hoard.
The hoard turns and attacks Dodge on Duncan’s order, and he grabs the Demon Key. To save Kinsey, Tyler uses the Alpha Key on Dodge, seemingly killing her and restoring the still-teenaged Lucas in his original state, who gives all Dodge’s collected keys back to Kinsey and explains that he had no control over Dodge’s actions.
Meanwhile, Ellie arrives back at home disorientated after being freed, but she still looks like Dodge and is searching for Rufus, who is long gone. She goes to Keyhouse, where she encounters Bode alone and manages to convince him that she is indeed Ellie and not Dodge. Later, Duncan, Lucas and the Locke siblings return home and restore Ellie to her true appearance using the Identity Key, and she and Lucas have a chance to properly reconcile after so many decades apart. Even later, Ellie is reunited with Rufus, too.
Is Dodge Really Dead?
It sure looks like it! With the Echo demon yanked from Lucas’ body, it stands to reason that it would either disintegrate or immediately turn into Whispering Iron, but with Gabe’s villa collapsing into the sea, it would be hard to speculate if anything remained of the demon. Something tells us that the evil Dodge isn’t really gone for good, but with a new villain set to terrorize the Lockes in Season 3, perhaps that chapter has now fully come to a close.
Tyler
With most of their larger troubles seemingly resolved, the Lockes start to move on as summer break approaches. Tyler decides to go travelling over winter break, and deletes the memorable video he made with his dead girlfriend, knowing that his 18th birthday is coming and he will soon forget the magic of Keyhouse. It seems that in his grief, Tyler has decided that he doesn’t want to remember the horrors he’s been through, and he gives his keys to Kinsey before he leaves. Bode and Kinsey aren’t convinced it’s the right move, so we may see an about-turn from Tyler early on in Season 3 when danger comes knocking.
