As a result, the door opens to a romantic reunion between Mabel and Alice.
Do Mabel and Alice End up Together?
Mabel and Alice’s romance starts slowly but ends after some tumultuous moments. Mabel is reserved, and Alice’s attempts to learn more about her past hint that the two are not ideal for each other. Moreover, Alice uses Mabel’s past and trauma to create art. On the other hand, she is hiding her own past, making Alice a sketchy character. Nonetheless, the chemistry between Alice and Mabel is undeniable, and the two can find a way to make their relationship work.
In the season 2 finale, titled ‘I Know Who Did It,’ Mabel accuses Alice of being Bunny’s killer. Alice tries to flee the scene and ends up stabbing Charles. However, all of that is revealed to be a part of the trio’s plan to unmask Poppy, aka Becky Butler’s true face, and record her confession about killing Bunny. Moreover, Alice was in on the plan all along, and Mabel uses Alice’s brief interaction with Bunny as clever misdirection. After the case is closed, Charles, Mabel, and Oliver’s innocence is proven, and they each decide to move forward in life.
Ultimately, Mabel decides to clean the murals of The Arconia resident from her apartment. She reconciles with Alice, who helps Mabel renovate her apartment. Hence, it is hinted that Mabel and Alice end up together. However, in the episode’s final moments, the scene skips to a year later. During the opening night performance of Oliver’s play, Mabel is seen with Oliver and Lucy. However, Alice is nowhere to be seen. Hence, it is likely that things did not work out between Mabel and Alice.
