This guide provides a detailed breakdown of each episode, showing how the final reveal fits into the overarching story that the series has been unfolding.

The Beast in Me: Official Trailer

Spoiler Alert: This article contains full spoilers for all eight episodes of The Beast in Me, including the ending. Proceed only if you’ve finished the series or don’t mind knowing how every revelation unfolds.

Episode 1 – “Sick Puppy”

Aggie Wiggs (Claire Danes) is a Pulitzer Prize–winning author best known for her memoir Sick Puppy: A Letter to My Father. Years after that success, she’s blocked. Her new book, about the unlikely friendship between Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is already two years past deadline, and she’s lying to her editor about its progress. Her finances are tight, her house is falling apart, and the plumbing problems give the place a sour, lingering smell. Her only steady companion is her dog, Steve.

One afternoon, two Belgian Malinois burst into her yard. They belong to Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys), a real-estate mogul whose first wife, Maddison, vanished under suspicious circumstances. Though never charged, Nile’s name still carries the stain of public suspicion. When his dogs wander over again, a box of wine appears at Aggie’s door as an apology. She decides to return it herself and meets Nile’s new wife, Nina (Brittany Snow), along with Nile. The encounter is tense. Nile is pushing for a jogging path through the woods between their properties, offering to pay for the work, but Aggie refuses to sign the easement.

The anniversary of her son Cooper’s death is approaching. Four years earlier, Aggie was driving when another car collided with hers. The driver, Teddy Fenig, was suspected of being intoxicated. At the cemetery, Aggie visits Cooper’s grave and runs into her ex-wife, Shelley, as well as Teddy and his mother. The meeting is raw and bitter, Aggie’s anger still close to the surface.

Soon after, Nile invites Aggie to lunch, hoping to reset their uneasy start. He praises Sick Puppy and, half-seriously, suggests she write about him instead of her stalled Supreme Court project. She laughs it off. Nile seems intrigued by her bluntness; she’s one of the few people who speaks to him without deference. The conversation turns to Cooper’s accident. Aggie recalls that Teddy refused a breathalyzer, barely passed a later blood-alcohol test, and managed to shift blame toward her. His restraining order silenced her attempts to confront him. Nile listens and quietly notes that it isn’t right to see Teddy walking free in town.

That night, a drunk FBI agent, Brian Abbott (David Lyons), who once led the investigation into Maddison Jarvis’s disappearance, corners Aggie. He warns her to stay away from Nile.

By morning, Shelley calls with shocking news: Teddy Fenig has vanished. His car was found abandoned near the beach, and authorities suspect suicide by drowning. Aggie is rattled. Only a day earlier, she had seen him alive, right after Nile Jarvis remarked that it wasn’t right that he was still walking around.

Episode 2 – “Just Don’t Want to Be Lonely”

Teddy Fenig’s car is found by the beach, with a note and his clothes left inside. Police and reporters crowd the scene. When Aggie Wiggs arrives, she overhears Teddy’s mother insisting her son wasn’t depressed. He had plans, a trip to Sarasota with his girlfriend, a clear itinerary, nothing that suggested despair. Spotting Aggie, she lashes out, blaming her for what happened.

Later that morning, Aggie runs into Nile Jarvis, who coolly remarks that at least she won’t have to see Teddy around town anymore. The comment unsettles her. She reaches out to Special Agent Brian Abbott, explaining her past with Teddy and her lunch with Nile. Abbott listens but gives little away, leaving Aggie unsure whether he suspects Nile or her.

Meanwhile, Nile faces his own troubles. His upcoming Manhattan development, Jarvis Yards, is being challenged by councilwoman Olivia Benitez. She needs a majority vote to halt construction, so Nile assumes the project will proceed, but the opposition rattles him.

Blocked on her Supreme Court book, Aggie admits to her editor that she has almost nothing written. Instead, she proposes a new idea: a book on the Nile Jarvis. The editor immediately sees the potential. Nile, never charged in his wife Maddison’s disappearance, has become a public pariah. Protesters splash fake blood on his construction sites, and his attempts at a quiet life on Long Island are failing. He may claim not to care about his reputation, but Aggie senses how badly he wants legitimacy.

When she pitches the project, Nile insists he didn’t kill Maddison, though he adds that he no longer cares what people believe. Aggie challenges that, “Of course you care”, and reframes the book as a chance to reclaim his narrative. Flattered and wary in equal measure, Nile tells her he’ll think about it.

That night, a brick smashes through Aggie’s window, a cruel echo of her own past rage, when she once threw a brick through the pizza place where Teddy Fenig worked.

The next morning, Nina Jarvis visits Aggie and invites her for a walk in the woods. The exchange feels like both a peace offering and a test. Soon after, Nile agrees to participate in the book. While the women are out walking, Nile’s bodyguard breaks into Aggie’s house to look around and discovers a note with Agent Abbott’s name on it.

Abbott, meanwhile, is entangled in an affair with fellow FBI agent Erika Breton. As Erika leaves the office late one night, Nile’s bodyguard waits nearby, tracking her movements. It’s clear this isn’t their first covert exchange. Erika has been leaking information to Nile’s camp for some time.

Episode 3 – “Elephant in the Room”

Nile’s bodyguard is revealed to be his uncle, Rick Jarvis. He reports to his brother, Martin Jarvis, that Nile has agreed to collaborate with Aggie Wiggs on a book, but keeps one crucial detail to himself: during his break-in, he found the name of FBI agent Brian Abbott inside Aggie’s home.

Martin, the patriarch of the Jarvis family, sees life as a contest of endurance. An orphan turned self-made man, he built the family business from the ground up and raised Nile under that same creed of survival. Nile later brought his father’s old company into the modern era, transforming Jarvis Enterprises into a major New York real estate empire. For Martin, legacy is bloodline; for Nile, it’s architecture.

The Jarvis family history is bruised by tragedy. After his mother nearly died giving birth to Nile’s brother, doctors advised against more pregnancies, but his father insisted. Multiple miscarriages followed before Nile was finally born, and his mother eventually died of ovarian cancer. Nile’s half-brother Marty died of an overdose at 31, leaving Martin determined to secure the family name through a second marriage and twin sons, now about to turn eight. Nile’s refusal to have children isn’t rebellion, it’s fear of loving them too much.

Meanwhile, Nina visits Shelley’s art studio, intrigued after seeing one of Shelley’s paintings at Aggie’s house.

Nile discusses the proposed book with Rick, who warns him that Aggie has been in contact with Abbott. Rick believes Nile had something to do with Martin’s earlier heart attack and vows to protect his brother at all costs.

Aggie meets Abbott again, who shares the official report on Teddy Fenig’s death, which is still ruled a suicide. She mentions Nile’s smartwatch and suggests they could retrieve GPS data from it to verify his location the night Teddy disappeared. She even knows his device passwords. While they talk, Nile calls and asks to meet her at Jarvis Yards. Suspicious, Abbott follows.

At the construction site, Nile confronts Aggie directly, asking if she’s been speaking with Abbott. She admits she has, explaining that for her book to be credible, she must talk to everyone, investigators, Maddison’s parents, and even his father. She offers him a choice: cooperate or let her write it without him. The threat of an unauthorized version sways him, and Nile agrees to continue the collaboration.

He then invites Aggie to his twin brother’s birthday party, suggesting she meet his family and get a sense of who he is beyond headlines. For Aggie, attending a child’s birthday feels unbearable; the absence of her son Cooper hovers over every balloon and smile.

While the party unfolds, Abbott sneaks onto the Jarvis property to extract GPS data from Nile’s smartwatch. At the same time, Nile’s real estate plans face a major setback: the councilman he and Martin supported votes against Jarvis Yards, aligning with the rest of the subcommittee to block the project.

Elsewhere, Nina tells Aggie she has offered Shelley her first solo exhibition in New York. Aggie worries about appearances; working with her ex-wife could be seen as a conflict of interest, especially now that she’s writing about Nile.

Abbott manages to retrieve the smartwatch data before Nile and Nina return home, but he’s attacked by one of the family’s Belgian Malinois. Wounded, he barely escapes without being detected.

Episode 4 – “Thanatos”

Special Agent Brian Abbott hires a hacker named Simone to decrypt the data from Nile Jarvis’s smartwatch. The results are strange: there’s no trace of fitness data from the night Teddy Fenig vanished, only a heavily encrypted connection to a private network that seems to host a live feed, showing Teddy himself. The location, however, can’t be identified.

Meanwhile, tensions rise between Nile and his wife, Nina. Nile shuts down her plan to showcase Shelley’s paintings at her gallery. When Nina delivers the news, Shelley assumes Aggie is behind it. Their argument quickly turns personal. Aggie insists she’s trying to protect Shelley from Nile, and Nina defends her decision to keep working with him, hinting that she suspects Nile was involved in Teddy’s death. Shelley lashes back, accusing Aggie of hypocrisy, of turning tragedy into material. “You’d rather invent a murder than look out the window,” she says. “You don’t care about Nile or Teddy. You just want a bestseller.”

At Jarvis Enterprises, Nile and his father, Martin, scramble to save their New York project, Jarvis Yards. They need one more vote to pass the zoning plan, and Nile decides to target councilwoman Olivia Benitez. His advisors warn it’s a lost cause, Benitez’s politics are built on opposing people like him, but Nile believes her idealism is performative. “Everyone wants something,” he tells his team. “We just have to find out what it is.”

Aggie visits the parents of Maddison Jarvis, Nile’s missing first wife. They rarely speak to the press but agree to meet her because Nile personally vouched for her. To Aggie’s surprise, they defend him. They say the public vilified Nile unfairly and that their daughter’s story is more complicated than people think. Madison, they reveal, struggled with bipolar disorder and bouts of anger. She became obsessed with birding after her therapist suggested it as a way to manage her restlessness. “She wasn’t easy to love,” her mother admits. “But Nile saved her life. She was the happiest she’d ever been with him.”

Two years before she died, Madison attempted suicide. Her parents believed she eventually succeeded, leaving behind a note that was later authenticated by three forensic experts. Her mother thinks Madison never wanted her body to be found, either to deny her parents closure or to spare them the trauma of discovery.

At the same time, FBI agent Erika Breton meets with Rick Jarvis, Nile’s uncle. She reveals that Abbott once mentioned speaking to Aggie about her book, a detail that deepens Rick’s mistrust of her involvement.

Abbott lies to Aggie, telling her that Nile was asleep by ten the night Teddy vanished. He advises her to drop the investigation, but it’s clear he doesn’t believe his own words.

Nile meets privately with Olivia Benitez to negotiate. He offers to donate a series of new buildings to the city in exchange for her support of the Jarvis Yards zoning plan. Benitez refuses. When Nile reports back, Martin decides to handle things “the hard way.”

That night, Abbott confronts Nile after the meeting. Their argument turns physical, escalating until Nile beats Abbott to death. Bloodied and shaken, Nile later appears at Aggie’s door. He tells her Abbott was wrong about him, pours two drinks, and sits down beside her as if nothing had happened.

Episode 5 – “Bacchanal”

The episode opens exactly where the last one ended: Nile Jarvis and Aggie Wiggs share a late drink in Aggie’s dimly lit home. Nile’s knuckles are swollen and bloodied. When Aggie notices, he shrugs it off, saying he was jumped. Their conversation circles back to Brian Abbott. Nile senses that Aggie wanted him to be guilty, that she’s disappointed now that she can’t prove it. The remark disarms her.

Elsewhere, Rick warns Martin Jarvis that Nile is becoming reckless. Martin brushes it off. Once the Jarvis Yards project is finalized, he says, their work and responsibility for Nile will be over.

Back at Aggie’s house, the night drifts into uneasy laughter. They smoke, drink, and talk about Shelley. Nile asks why Aggie can’t seem to let her go. She deflects at first, but the question lingers. When Nile wanders through the house looking for the bathroom, he accidentally enters Cooper’s old room. The shift is immediate, Aggie’s guard drops. She tells him she was twelve when her father was arrested, and that her own unstable childhood drove her to build something solid for him, even if it was just a home.

The next morning, Nina spots a large bruise on Nile’s side while he’s in the shower. At the same time, Erika Breton grows suspicious of Abbott’s unexplained absence.

Nile methodically covers his tracks. He swaps the license plates on Abbott’s car, loads the agent’s body and belongings into the trunk, and drives to a junkyard to have the vehicle crushed. Among Abbott’s possessions, he finds a burner phone and keeps it.

Nina quietly asks Rick if he knows where Nile went the day before. Rick deflects, but her concern is clear.

Aggie visits Shelley to apologize. She admits Shelley was right, about the book, about Teddy Fenig, about everything. She confesses that she hated Teddy and pushed him too far, and that maybe she always needed an enemy to feel alive. “Maybe I don’t know how to write without a fight,” she says. “I don’t know who I am without you.” Shelley listens, but doesn’t give her the comfort she wants. “I hope you figure it out,” she says softly. “Just not through me.”

At Jarvis Yards, a planned protest escalates. Paid agitators hired by the Jarvis team infiltrate the crowd under the supervision of a corrupt police officer, turning the rally into chaos that conveniently discredits the opposition.

Later, Aggie is contacted by Madison’s brother, Christopher Ingram, who claims his parents left out crucial details. He tells her what really ties the family to Nile. A year before Madison disappeared, the Jarvises were drowning in debt, a $200 million shortfall on a construction loan for Jarvis Yards. Madison’s father, one of the executors of the family trust, paid half the loan in exchange for a five-percent stake in the project. “If Jarvis Yards collapses,” Christopher explains, “so does our entire family’s fortune. Forty cousins, my parents, and I. They defend Nile because they can’t afford not to.”

Christopher insists Madison wasn’t suicidal this time. She had called him days before vanishing, saying she loved him no matter what happened. He ignored it, thinking it was one of her emotional spirals. Now he’s sure she knew Nile was dangerous. He gives Aggie a box of Madison’s belongings, items he took from her penthouse to keep from Nile.

Among them, Aggie notices something chilling: the supposed suicide letter Madison’s parents gave her was torn from a birding notebook, not written separately. The date is two years before her suicide, when she attempted her first and likely only suicide attempt.

Aggie immediately calls Abbott’s number, unaware he’s dead. At that exact moment, Nile is disposing of Abbott’s phones. When one of them rings, he sees her name flash on the burner and freezes. A message pops up:

I know he killed Madison. I have proof.

Episode 6 – “The Beast in Me”

The episode opens with Nile Jarvis pacing through the garage where he is keeping Teddy. He insists he had nothing to do with Teddy Fenig’s, convincing himself that Teddy’s instability caused it.

Aggie Wiggs grows anxious after days without hearing from Special Agent Brian Abbott. She drives to his apartment, and enters it, he finds blood bandages and a hidden flash drive.

Elsewhere, councilwoman Olivia Benitez holds a press conference in the aftermath of the Jarvis Yards riot. The event backfires: reporters accuse her of negligence after learning rioters had ties to her own organization. Publicly, she blames the Jarvis family, but the damage is done. Her credibility is collapsing just as Martin Jarvis moves to force her into accepting a new, more ruthless development deal.

Before Aggie can plug in the flash drive, Special Agent Erika Breton arrives and finds her inside Abbott’s apartment. Caught off guard, Aggie admits everything. She shows Breton what she’s uncovered so far, including the suicide note torn from Madison’s birding journal and dated 2017, two years before her death, during her first attempt.

Breton takes the flash drive and opens it. The link inside leads to a live stream of Teddy Fenig, still alive, half-naked, and clearly being held somewhere. The sight leaves Aggie stunned. Breton gathers all the evidence and heads straight back to FBI headquarters.

Meanwhile, Nile turns to his uncle, Rick, for help in cleaning up his role with Teddy. At the same time, Nina discovers she’s pregnant. Nile, who has long claimed he never wanted children, reacts with unsettling calm, telling her it will be fine.

At FBI headquarters, Breton prepares to return with the evidence, but a call cuts through the room: a potential kidnapping has been reported near Aggie Wiggs’s address.

Nile invites Aggie for a walk along the planned jogging path. Uneasy but cornered, she agrees. Sensing danger, Aggie invents an excuse, rushes home, and locks every door.

Her phone rings. It’s Nile. While he talks, Aggie notices something strange: her manuscript is covered in handwritten notes. Nile’s voice on the phone is steady, almost admiring. “I didn’t think you had it in you,” he says, and prompts her to go upstairs.

Aggie climbs the steps, trembling. When she opens the door to Cooper’s room, she stops cold. The space has been transformed into a replica of the one from the live feed. And in the middle of it lies Teddy Fenig’s dead body.

As sirens wail in the distance, the FBI races toward Aggie’s home.

Episode 7 – “Ghosts”

The penultimate episode rewinds to December 2019, months before the events of the series. Special Agent Brian Abbott is in the middle of an FBI sting when he uncovers millions hidden inside the seats of a private jet, money linked to Pedro Dominguez, a Florida-based developer with cartel ties. Dominguez is soon arrested, but the discovery has broader consequences. His investment quietly covered half the Jarvis family’s construction debt; the other half came from the Ingram family, Madison’s parents.

Nile Jarvis knew the source of Pedro’s funds but kept it from his father, Martin, to preserve “plausible deniability.” When the FBI raid hits, Nile becomes convinced someone tipped Abbott off. He tells Martin and his uncle, Rick, that they need a contact inside the Bureau. Martin agrees, they have to find out who’s feeding Abbott information before it’s too late.

Meanwhile, Erika Breton faces her own crisis. Her husband is facing criminal charges, and the plea deal offered by the U.S. Attorney would still result in his imprisonment and financial hardship through restitution. When Rick approaches her with an offer to make those problems “disappear” in exchange for inside access, she hesitates, but listens and later agrees.

At this point, Madison Jarvis becomes the unexpected link; she is the mole. Secretly meeting with Abbott, she confides that Nile has grown controlling and paranoid. She says he suspects her collaborator, Nina, of being the informant, but that it’s really her, Madison herself, who has been speaking to Abbott. She wants to divorce Nile but is terrified he’ll kill her if she tries.

Abbott tells her she can still leave, even without an indictment, but Madison insists he doesn’t understand. Two years earlier, she says, Nile accused her of having an affair with a young sculptor she was mentoring. Weeks later, the man was found stabbed to death outside a bar. It was ruled a mugging, but she’s sure Nile did it. “There’s something in him,” she says.

Abbott tries to comfort her, telling her she needs help more than protection. They share a brief, uneasy kiss before she storms out, humiliated. Outside, Nina is waiting. She admits she’s been tracking Madison’s location because she’s worried she’s gone off her medication, and that she won’t always be there to protect her as he got a new job. The two women argue bitterly, and Madison mocks Nina’s lack of artistic instinct.

Later, Nile presses Nina, thinking she is the one leaking information to the FBI. Nina, hurt and defensive, tells Nile that Madison has been slipping out and meeting with Abbott, and that Madison stopped taking her medication and has been spiraling.

That night, Nile confronts Madison. When she tries to walk away, he strangles her in a burst of rage. She fights back, but he grabs one of her sculptures and strikes her repeatedly until she falls still. The violence mirrors Abbott’s later death.

Nile calls Martin, panicked. He and Rick arrive minutes later. The three men debate their options. Rick argues they should call 911 and turn Nile in; it’s better to save the family name than destroy it. Martin refuses. They’ll make the problem vanish. By morning, Madison’s gallery office is spotless. Her body has been sealed inside a suitcase and buried under fresh soil at a Jarvis demolition site. Nina finds her suicide note at the gallery.

As the flashback closes, Erika Breton begins her friendship with Abbott. The final image cuts to Aggie, Shelley, and a young Cooper, always in 2018, curled up on a couch, laughing, a fleeting reminder of innocence before Cooper’s accident.

Episode 8 – “The Last Word”

Agent Erika Breton is inside Cooper’s room at Aggie Wiggs’s house. The room has been transformed to match the space seen in Teddy Fenig’s livestream. Teddy has been suffocated. Breton learns that Nile Jarvis called in the tip to the FBI and that Aggie’s laptop contains hours of hidden-camera footage.

Aggie runs into the woods and tries calling Shelley, who doesn’t believe her. Shelley is cooperating with the FBI. The episode shifts into flashbacks from the day of Cooper’s accident: Aggie and Shelley are arguing because Shelley feels unsupported, and Aggie is following her routine without considering Shelley’s or Cooper’s needs. Cooper was having tantrums in the back seat that day.

Breton returns home and asks a colleague to remove Madison Jarvis’s suicide note from evidence. Before she can act, four armed men enter her house. Rick Jarvis finds Madison’s birding notebook and takes it. He later tells Martin Jarvis that Aggie is wanted for kidnapping and murdering Teddy Fenig, so her book is no longer a threat. He says Nile called in the tip. Martin immediately understands Rick is lying, but Rick insists he has “fixed it.” Martin realizes Nile will never stop and collapses from a stroke. He is taken to the hospital and falls into a coma.

Nile tells Nina his version of what happened with Aggie.

Another flashback shows the complete accident: Aggie was driving Cooper to a doctor’s appointment while doing a New York Times phone interview about her father suing her. Cooper was upset in the backseat. Aggie turned toward Cooper while trying to speak to the interviewer, and the accident happened.

Aggie hides in a greenhouse and calls Agent Breton. Breton pretends not to know her, and Aggie understands she is under duress. Aggie asks for Madison’s journal to be returned to the police, but Breton ends the call. At the hospital, Rick sits beside Martin and tells Nile that their father knew he was lying.

With nowhere left to go, Aggie walks into Nina’s gallery. She calls the police and turns herself in. Before they arrive, she tells Nina she didn’t kill Teddy Fenig. She tells Nina that Nile killed Teddy and Madison, and that Nina must have doubts. Aggie says Nile doesn’t trust or respect her and that believing his lies won’t protect her. Aggie also admits she told herself a story about Teddy to survive. Nina listens but doesn’t intervene. The police arrive and arrest Aggie.

Later, at home, Nina tells Nile about Aggie’s visit. Nile wants to know everything. Nina says Aggie believes he killed Madison as well. She asks Nile if the suicide note was truly written the night Madison disappeared, because Madison had been spiraling and off her medication. Yet, the note was calm and quoted Emily Dickinson. Nina presses him to answer whether he killed Madison. Nile tells her she already knows. When she forces him to say it aloud, he admits he killed Madison. Nile also says he did what he believed Nina wanted when she told him Madison had been speaking to Abbott. He continues confessing, including Teddy’s death. He says he no longer wants to hide. Nina hugs him, and they appear reconciled.

The next day, Nile attends a press conference with Councilwoman Benitez. Nina is in the audience. She tells Nile to check his phone. On it is the recording of his confession from the night before. The FBI arrests him. Aggie watches from the crowd.

Time passes. Aggie has written her book, The Beast in Me. Nile initially claimed the recording was manipulated, but his defense collapsed when Rick provided evidence in exchange for a lighter sentence. Rick suffocated Martin in his hospital bed to prevent him from seeing the fallout. Nile pled no contest to all charges and received three consecutive life sentences without parole.

Aggie visits Nile in prison to complete the book. They talk for three hours and plan another visit, but Nile dies in prison shortly after. Rick arranged for it through old contacts.

At Aggie’s book reading, Shelley attends with her new partner. Aggie reflects on accountability, the damage left behind, and the stories people use to justify themselves.

In a separate scene, Nina is at home, holding her newborn child. She looks unsettled as she meets the baby’s eyes, aware of everything she now knows about Nile and what her child inherits from that history.

Ending Explained

The ending brings every storyline back to Aggie’s attempt to understand responsibility, her own and everyone else’s. Nile’s confession confirms the truth about Madison and Teddy, yet the series places equal weight on what Aggie says later in her book: that actions don’t disappear just because the person who caused them is gone. Her reflections on karma are not mystical or symbolic; they’re about consequences that continue from one person to the next, the choices people make, the harm they pass down, and the stories they use to justify both.

Aggie recognizes that she shaped her own narrative about Teddy to cope with her grief, and that Nile exploited those same vulnerabilities in her judgment. She isn’t claiming guilt for his crimes, but she acknowledges the ways she misread danger and ignored her own instincts. The book becomes her attempt to confront that pattern rather than rewrite it.

The final moments split the aftermath in two directions: Aggie choosing accountability through her writing, and Nina facing the reality of raising a child who carries Nile’s legacy. The series closes on the idea that every character must now live with what they know and the consequences of the choices that brought them there.
