I may destroy you finale8/21/2023 In the final version of events, she approached him at the bar as a love interest. This time, Arabella used her newfound control over the situation in a different way, allowing him a seat on her bed and comforting him against his own inner demons as he cried. Related: I May Destroy You offers an important new perspective Or, was her rapist somehow broken? Did he have something dark inside, bending him to its will and compelling him to lash out at others? In their second meeting scenario, Arabella held a mirror up to him, and his fraught excusing whispers called back to her own earlier distractions: there are wars happening, people are homeless, there's more suffering – external to this – to focus on. Beaten into submission, he ended up under her bed. Only this time, Arabella was ready to strike back and switch their places. Someone else to prey on, manoeuvring into the very same cycle of deception and violation that had got him what he'd wanted before. In stark contrast to her, he was unmarked by their previous encounter in the bathroom stall – so much so that, when meeting her again, he showed no sign of recognition. The first time she glimpsed him across the bar, he was a predator. But short of wrapping everything up neatly, this realisation played with the possibility that her attacker could have been any number of things. The scenarios that unfolded put a face to the blurry male outline that she had been seeing, in her fractured memories, throughout the earlier episodes. This was the notion that played out in I May Destroy You's finale, over and over, as Arabella (played by show creator Michaela Coel) imagined coming face-to-face with her rapist. The criminal always returns to the scene of the crime. I May Destroy You spoilers follow – including its ending.
