The Hulu limited series took a major departure from the book.
. But to sustain a series—even a limited one, like ours was—we felt we needed that driving question, thatpitch back in 2018, I knew I wanted to go even further with the ending. To make it even more layered and complex. Everyone who had read the book would think they knew what was coming—I wondered if we could somehow manage to surprise them, while still maintaining the spirit of the ending they so loved. With that in mind, I began to dive in.My first thought was that Elena could set the fire.
But the idea of Izzy’s siblings rallying together to finish what she had started just wouldn’t leave me. It was an ending that made me dig my fingernails into my palms while I pitched it to the room, to stop myself from getting teary. That kind of emotion was something I could hold on to. We set out to show how Moody, too, was like his mother, believing that if you do kind things for kind people, they owe you. That they are indebted to you. And how, maybe, just maybe, you could even start to believe that they belonged to you .
All season long we had seen Izzy fight to rid herself of those things which weren’t reflective of her own identity—the “Rachel” haircut, the floral orchestra dress, those goddamn tartan Keds. Those things that epitomize who she isn’t and who her mother is determined for her to be. But now, in the finale, Izzy has had it. She is done trying to be who Elena wants her to be. And when she can’t throw out all of those things, she remembers Mia’s words and resolves to burn them instead.
