Netflix’s thriller series ‘Echoes’ revolves around the intricate lives of Leni and Gina McCleary (Michelle Monaghan), two twin sisters who swap their lives every year to share their personal and professional lives. Their lives change unexpectedly when one of them disappears, leaving the other one alone to deal with the consequences of the disappearance. The incident also exposes how much Leni and Gina have drifted apart, which paves the way for life-threatening repercussions. The enthralling series ends without clarity regarding the fate of the two sisters, making one curious about their deaths. So, does Gina or Leni die? Let’s find out! SPOILERS AHEAD.

Does Gina or Leni Die?

When Gina decides to put an end to her and her sister’s life-swapping arrangement, the latter tries her best to not let that happen. Leni’s attempts result in Gina’s lover Dylan James’ murder as well. After Dylan’s death and her second miscarriage, Gina realizes that she needs to get away from Leni at all costs, even if it means jumping from the top of a waterfall. Gina does exactly the same and vanishes. Although Sheriff Louise Floss leads a search party to find at least Gina’s suspected dead body, she fails to discover the same, indicating that she most likely hasn’t died.

In the closing scene of the limited series, a McCleary twin meets Charlie Davenport, Gina’s husband. Although Charlie tries to find out whether she is Leni or Gina, she doesn’t reveal her identity. If it is Gina, she returns with a purpose as she makes it clear to Charlie that she has some scores to settle. She can be indicating her wish to exact vengeance on Leni, who has killed her beloved Dylan, paved the way for her miscarriage, and her arrest. After suffering from Leni’s unbearable control, Geni seems to have attained liberty and if she wants to take revenge, she may even consider killing Leni.

Killing Leni may give Gina the peace of mind she has been longing for. After years of suffering and silence, Gina may finally want to react and her reaction can even be killing her twin sister. If the McCleary twin who has returned to Charlie is Leni, Gina’s life can be under threat. All her life, Leni has tried and even succeeded in controlling her sister’s life. Whenever Gina has tried to grow beyond Leni’s influence, the latter has made sure that the former’s attempts won’t end with satisfactory results. However, Gina’s disappearance after jumping from the waterfall marks Leni’s failure.

If the person who returns to Charlie is Leni, she may consider killing Gina. Leni must be thinking that Gina shouldn’t live if she cannot share her life with the former. As Gina escapes Leni’s realm of control, the latter may want to “punish” her sister with death. The indication of the same is present in the two sisters’ final confrontation, specifically in Leni’s attempt to kill Gina by drowning her in the river. It will not be a surprise if Leni decides to overcome the bitterness of her failure by killing the person who has caused the same. If that’s the case, Gina may need to protect her life, no matter where she is.

Since Leni and Gina’s endearing bond gradually becomes a murderous enmity, the two sisters may not refrain from trying to kill each other to witness one another’s death. Since Gina’s motives are stronger, she can be the one who will end up victorious in the supposed battle between the two sisters.
