Bad Sisters Episode 3 Ending: Does Ursula Join Alice and Bibi? Does Their Plan Work?
In the episode, Ursula finds herself on John Paul’s radar, who targets her personal life. John Paul follows Ursula and finds out the truth about her affair with Ben. Moreover, he insults her and threatens to reveal the truth to her husband. As a result, Alice and Bibi see an opening to turn Ursula against their brother-in-law and get her help in killing John Paul. Alice and Bibi attempt to get Ursula’s help when they plan to use a poisonous mushroom to kill John Paul. While Ursula refuses to join their plot, she advises them not to use the mushroom poison, as would be evident in a post-mortem.
However, after John Paul crosses all limits by catfishing Ursula, she decides to join Alice and Bibi’s plan to kill John Paul. In the episode’s final moments, Ursula obtains a unique poison that will go untraced. Moreover, the drug will cause heart failure, which will make the death seem like a natural cause. As a result, the sisters can kill John Paul without the fear of the police catching them. Alice and Bibi infuse the poison in the liver that Grace will cook for her husband. Soon, everything is set into place, and the sisters await to see the result of their plan.
Grace prepares the meal for John Paul, but the liver falls to the ground while cooking and is tuned. In the end, Grace calls the sisters and forms them that someone had died of heart failure. As a result, the sisters believe that their plan has worked and that John Paul is no more. However, Grace reveals that it is their family pet dog, Oscar, who died in the morning. Hence, it is evident that Grace fed the poisoned liver to Oscar, who died from heart failure. Consequently, John Paul is still alive, and the sisters have once again failed.
