How does Elite season 3 end? Here’s what happens to the students of Las Encinas in the shocking finale.
Elite season 3 may have only just dropped on Netflix but fans are already crying over what happens in the emotional ending.
It’s no secret that Elite is an international phenomenon. People can’t get enough of the messy, teen students of Las Encinas. In season 1, viewers were gripped by the mystery of who killed Marina, in season 2, we were desperate to find out who was responsible for Samuel disappearing and season 3 draws the characters’ story to a close as we find out who killed Polo.
Earlier this week (Mar 10), the Elite cast confirmed the rumours that season 3 is the final season with the original cast so the pressure for the creators to end it well was high. Thankfully, they do just that. Not only is the ending surprising and moving but it also gives each character their own special send-off. With that in mind, here’s exactly how Elite season 3 ends.
WARNING: MAJOR ELITE SEASON 3 SPOILERS BELOW
First things first, Elite season 3 ends by revealing exactly who killed Polo. It all culminates with Lu, drunk, confronting Polo in the club bathroom with a cracked champagne bottle neck. She blasts him for ruining the lives of everyone she loves and he tells her that no one loves her. Upset, Lu pushes Polo against a wall and she accidentally stabs him with the bottle neck.
Lu tells him in shock that she is sorry. Polo understanding, having killed Marina accidentally himself, says he knows. He then stumbles out of the bathroom, crashes into a window on the second floor of the club and falls to his death. Guzmán runs to him and, in sudden grief at the sight of his friend dying, says that he forgives him. Polo takes his last breath and dies.
Lu explains to Samuel, Guzmán, Ander, Omar, Carla, Valerio, Rebeca and Cayetana what happened and they agree to cover it up. They coat the bottle neck with all their fingerprints, including Polo’s, before the police arrive. Unable to find a suspect, the police deduce that Polo killed himself and Polo’s parents tell the police that he confessed to Marina’s murder.
