As such, any questions left after viewers have experienced Kaleidoscopes’ episodes in whatever order they desire are left for the audience themselves to answer. Some of these questions have highly probable outcomes, others have been figured out by other attentive viewers, and a few are truly left to the imagination.
Spoilers Ahead
7 Did Judy Abandon Stan?
Judy’s story in the series ends with her finding the duffel bag filled with thousands of dollars that Bob forced Ava and Leo to give him, and staring between Stan happily eating his lengua tacos and the open road. Although Judy has feelings for and a connection with Stan, throughout the show she’s demonstrated a self-destructive streak and in “Pink” displayed misgivings about her relationship with Stan and doubted his ability to look out for their best interests.
The thought of her running away with the money may be frustrating, disappointing, and heartbreaking, but it’s sadly not an out-of-character conclusion for Judy, though one which viewers will never be sure transpired.
6 Are The Triplets Responsible For Nazan’s Death?
The exact circumstances surrounding Nazan’s sudden, understated death are left up in the air. Toby seems to accept the explanation offered by his and formerly Nazan’s supervisor, that she sacrificed her health in the process of relentlessly pursuing the heist investigation.
However, it’s unlikely coincidental that Nazan’s abrupt collapse occurred shortly after being warned to stop looking into The Triplets and almost immediately after having her hands held by an odd stranger, an encounter that plays out nearly word for word like the scenario Roger describes to Hannah as a potential consequence for crossing people like The Triplets. Although the audience will never truly know, it’s fair to assume Nazan’s demise was nefarious in nature.
5 Will RJ’s Death Be Discovered?
Although viewers may have learned of his death at different points given Kaleidoscope’s feature of being able to be watched in any order, his fate is divulged only in “White.” By the show’s chronological conclusion, only Judy, Bob, and Stan, who hadn’t revealed witnessing the married couple hiding RJ’s body to the rest of the crew, know the dark truth.
Even the FBI has yet to discover and announce RJ’s death, which leaves viewers wondering if the cheery driver will ever be given the dignity of a proper death ceremony.
4 Who’s The Father Of Hannah’s Baby?
With all the characters, fragmented narrative arcs, and various plot points to keep track of, it’s easy to forget about Hannah’s pregnancy when her baby girl, Lily, isn’t literally on screen. All the series offers on Lily’s father is that his relationship with Hannah only lasted several weeks, and he displayed no interest in stepping up as a father figure. While some viewers were expecting another cast member to be revealed as Hannah’s lover, it’s likely that the lack of reveal entails a lack of significance.
Rather than being a part of a twist, Hannah’s journey into motherhood acts as motivation for her to establish an identity apart from the men in her life and become a parent who doesn’t follow in the footsteps of her beloved but self-destructive father.
3 Was Leo Actually Killed?
“Pink”, the show’s final episode chronologically, concludes with a mysterious gunman aiming a gun at Leo’s head before a fade to pink during which a gunshot is heard. Most viewers have accepted that Leo met his end in that dim tunnel, but the truth is that there’s no way to be absolutely certain that Leo died.
Even if afflicted with Parkinson’s disease, Leo is clever and quick-witted. Disarming a man who has been walking far too close to him not to arose suspicion is far from the most outlandish action Leo has successfully taken to survive. However, since Kaleidoscope is intended to be an anthology series, it’s doubtful the audience will ever be certain of Leo’s fate.
2 Who Was The Gunman In The Tunnel?
The identity of Leo’s attacker wasn’t unveiled in the series but rather by television sleuths off-screen after streaming the series who revealed that the gunman is almost definitely Roger’s son, Brad.
They cited the damning evidence that Brad’s actor, Nate Katsuki, is listed in the episode’s credits as a guest star despite seemingly not making an appearance in the episode and is seen wearing the same distinct graphic tee in “White” that the gunman does in “Pink”, a detail that the camera lingers on before he reaches for his gun.
1 Did Roger Ask His Son To Murder Leo?
It’s nearly been proved as fact online that the gunman was Brad but the events leading up to the seemingly naive young adult becoming ready to kill a man in cold blood remains a mystery. Brad certainly has reasons to dislike Leo, he put his father in jail and destroyed their family company, which Brad expressed a clear interest in joining. It’s also highly plausible that Roger painted Leo as a spiteful villain to his son and portrayed himself as being betrayed and blindsided by his former friend.
Yet even if Roger still wanted Leo dead after their conversation in the prison, it’s doubtful (but not impossible) that a man who rarely did his own dirty work would ask his son to do it, especially given the potential fallout if his son failed or was implicated in the murder.
