The Body ends with Grace’s fate and the visions still uncertain
Netflix’s The Body follows a Catholic school dance team after a new member, Grace, is given ecstasy at a party.
Grace appears to die on the way to the hospital, but takes a breath and remains in a coma.
Anya and Lisbeth hide what happened, and the team is later shaken by claims of visions of Grace across the town.
Most of the dancers admit their visions were made up, while Anya and Maddie continue to believe theirs were real.
Anya confesses that she drove Grace home to Father Franklin, but Lisbeth tells the team she brought Grace back to life.
Anya’s decision not to tell Elise the truth damages their friendship, and Elise tells Steven what Anya did.
The ending leaves whether Grace’s visions are supernatural unresolved, in keeping with the show creator’s view that the series should not give a definite answer about God.
The first season of Netflix’s The Body ends with Grace waking from a coma and saying, “I’m God.”

What people are saying
The show is meant to mimic faith, so there’s people who believe, there’s people who don’t and there’s people in the middle, like me, who are like, ‘I don’t know.’
We want people to feel similarly at the end to the way you feel at all of the biggest turns of the show, which is a continued curiosity about what is really going on, and a certain autonomy to influence that in your own watching
We are amiable and gullible and don't have an answer either
Grace was dead. Like dead dead
