'The Hunting Wives' Ending, Explained
If you managed to rip through Netflix's latest drama, The Hunting Wives, then welcome to the club. The Big-Little-Lies-meets-Texas-Republican series is filled with plenty of juicy secrets and shocking twists that keep you wanting more. It follows the story of Sophie O'Neil (played by Brittany Snow) who moves from Boston to Texas with her husband and son. As she gets pulled into the world of socialite Margo Banks and her uber-rich husband, she gets tangled up in lies, affairs, and even a murder case. We're left for episodes on end trying to figure out who is responsible for the death of Abby, a high schooler and the girlfriend of the son of one of Sophie's new friends. The finale finally reveals the murderer and so much more, so let's get into all the twists and turns in the last episode of The Hunting Wives. We go through quite a few suspects for Abby's murder. Of course, Sophie is immediately a suspect since it was her gun that was used to kill Abby. And then there's Pastor Pete, who, in the penultimate episode, is found to have drugged and kidnapped two other teenage girls. One of the victims tells police that Pete had Abby's sweater in his possession and that he seemed to have an interest in her. This leads Officer Salazar to think Pete's guilty, but as it turns out, he was in the drunk tank the night of the murder, so he couldn't have done it. The focus then comes back to Sophie, and the cops arrest her and put her in jail. Meanwhile, Margo and Callie go over to Jill's house and find that she's killed Abby's mom, Star. She says Star, who believes Jill killed Abby after finding out Jill's son, Brad, got Abby pregnant, showed up with a gun and was threatening her, so she killed Star in self-defense. Jill then points her gun at Margo. Callie tells her to put the gun down, but when she doesn't listen, Callie shoots Jill, killing her. Of course, the cops (and seemingly everyone else) now think Jill is responsible for Abby's murder. Sophie is released from prison and heads back home to see her husband, Graham. She tells Graham she needs some time alone to figure out who she is and what she wants. She then heads over to Margo's house and she soon becomes not so sure that Jill is the murderer. It wasn't Pastor Pete, Sophie, or Jill who killed Abby—it was Margo. Sophie, while looking for a moisturizer in Margo's bathroom, finds a box of tampons. She asks Margo why she has them when she told Sophie the first time they met that she can't use tampons. Margo denies saying that, but when Sophie leaves, she Googles what would cause someone to not use tampons and one of the top answers is an abortion. Sophie goes to talk to Brad and he tells her that he never specifically told Pete that Abby had gotten pregnant and had an abortion. He just said "my girlfriend," but turns out he didn't mean Abby. Sophie, having seen Margo and Brad hooking up before, is even more suspicious of Margo. After doing some more digging, she discovers that Margo's biological father is the doctor in town—the same one who provided her alibi the night of the murder. Now sure that her suspicions are right, Sophie goes to confront Margo, who admits she did it. She says Abby threatened to ruin her life and that killing her was a drunken mistake that she never meant to happen. Margo doesn't get caught by the end of the series, but she's not exactly in a great position either. She admits to her husband, Jed, that she broke their rule and had slept with another man (Brad). She tells him about the pregnancy, the abortion, and Abby finding out, and he doesn't exactly take it well. He slaps her and tells her to get out of the house. With nowhere left to go, Margo goes back to the trailer park where her brother still lives to stay with him. The next day, she heads out to see Callie and tells her she wants them to be together again. But it all seems to be a ploy so that she can see whether Callie's husband (the chief of police) has spoken to Sophie since Sophie found out she killed Abby, the answer to which was no. Sophie may have figured out who did it, but she's not in a great spot at the end of the series. Her marriage is basically in the toilet, and her former best-friend-turned-lover is now officially a murderer. But things get worse when Margo's brother, trying to take things into his own hands to silence Sophie, follows Sophie as she leaves her home at night, cutting her off on a remote road, and demanding she get out of her car. Sophie tries to back away, but as she sees Margo's brother seemingly reach for a gun, she runs him over. She gets out of the car and sees he's very much dead, so she drags his body into the woods and pushes him off a ledge into the lake down below. And that's where the show ends, with Sophie and Margo now in some very precarious positions, both responsible for a death but not having been caught.

Laverne Cox Reacts To Criticism For MAGA Cop Boyfriend
Laverne Cox revealed she dated a MAGA cop, and it's safe to say it hasn't gone down super well. The actor has previously been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, and said that she considered leaving the country after his reelection. She even gave the keynote speech at the LA 'Trans Liberation Now!' rally, saying, "The real enemy is not actually trans people. The real enemy's not migrants, or poor people, or homeless people, or any other scapegoat that they claim. The enemy clearly is the plutocrats, the oligarchs, the billionaires and corporations who create these issues to divide working-class people.' However, she recently took to Instagram to promote her upcoming NYC show Laverne Cox: Gurrl How Did I Get Here? It's advertised as "an unforgettable journey through the twists and turns of her life and groundbreaking career with humor, heart, and a few fabulous wardrobe changes." In the reel, she began, "My ex-boyfriend, when we met five years ago, at the height of the pandemic, he was 26. I was 48." "He is a blonde hair, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer. We were madly in love. I did not develop any of these politics. I still have my own," she continued, before calling him "hot" and teasing that fans could "hear more about that" at her show. Well, many of the comments weren't exactly thrilled by this confession: So much so that Laverne quickly took to Instagram again to address criticism mid-rehearsal. She said, "People are gagging in the comments. I didn't really think about what the reaction would be. I was telling the truth about it, teasing the show." "It is a big part of the show that I'm doing at City Winery a week from today, that relationship, what the relationship was like, how we attempted to navigate our differences politically. But for the record, when we matched on Tinder, I didn't know what he did for a living. I didn't know his politics. We were just chatting. He actually told me he did something else," she added. Responding to one particular comment that read, "Just tell us the D was good, that's more believable," Laverne said, "That was lovely too. But I'm a grown woman and I've lived. I am not going to date someone for four years because of the D or because of something superficial about how he looks. He has a beautiful soul and really beautiful qualities. And I was in love." Calling out people online who are "dehumanizing people who have different political beliefs," she continued, "Fascism is not consistent with my values. I am an anti-fascist. I never adopted any of my ex's politics. I always challenged him with love and empathy and tried to listen to his perspectives. Often corrected him with good things about the relationship were so good that I was willing to work with the politics that I didn't agree with." "For the folks who say it's a betrayal to my community because I fell in love with someone with different politics, I mean, I get it. I get it, especially now, and we aren't dating now, and I think with this current administration, lines certainly have to be drawn, because we're fighting for our lives in a different way than we were five years ago," she continued, though it's worth noting that it was still the Trump administration during the height of the pandemic. Laverne further clarified that she was an independent for most of her life, but registered as a Democrat in 2020 so that she could vote for Bernie Sanders. She further emphasized that she'd never voted for Trump herself: "I don't think my ex-boyfriend dehumanized me, though. Yes, the MAGA movement is deeply anti-trans. It deeply dehumanizes trans people. I'm not confused by that. I am not delusional. Yes, my ex-boyfriend was MAGA, voted for Trump, but that is not the sum total of who he is as a human being." "We really didn't talk trans stuff. And literally, last year, as the election was approaching, I was like, '[Trump's] going to take away gender affirming care for children and adults,'" Laverne continued. "He was shocked. He had no idea. He was like, 'I hope it doesn't happen.' I was like, 'Sweetie, it's going to happen.' He hadn't read Project 2025. He was a very low-information voter. For most of the relationship, I didn't talk trans anything. He had never dated a trans woman before me, and I didn't want to bring trans stuff home. I wanted to just have fun, there's enough trans political stuff in my life." In total, the video lasts almost 55 minutes. You can watch here.

‘Que Pasa USA?' Our Republicans in Congress forgot the value of PBS in Miami
Grouch party Millions of children, many the sons and daughters of immigrants, began learning English via all the wonderful Sesame Street characters. Then at night their parents, abuelos and 'los americanitos' laughed together at the bilingual craziness in 'Que Pasa, USA.' And who can forget listening to 'Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!' Thank you PBS and thank you NPR. Meanwhile, our three Republican Grouches — U.S. Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, Mario Díaz-Balart and Carlos Giménez — have deemed these classic American family programs on PBS and NPR as 'wasteful' far left propaganda worthy of President Trump's massive cuts. Did the Cookie Monster eat their sense of democracy and decency? While children continue to learn to share, be kind and use their brains thanks to the Muppets, our three Republican cartoonish characters display selfishness, not-so-smart voting and are totally no fun. No worries. Big Bird and friends are getting ready to cancel their show in November 2026. Luis A. Hernandez, Coconut Grove Emotional theater Miami Herald reporter Howard Cohen's June 27 story, 'Miami's Olympia theater holds a lifetime of memories for this reporter,' made a point about the importance of not only the physicality of a building such as the 1920s theater and the historical significance it so rightfully conveys, but also the emotional connection such places represent. Places matter on many levels; they are personal. Cohen certainly experienced a lasting connection with the theater and it wasn't all about the physical space. The Olympia opened on Flagler Street as a silent movie theater in 1926. In the 1970s, its name changed in honor of Maurice Gusman, who donated the property to Miami in 1975. Today, patrons are confused as to the theater's name (is it the Olympia Theater or the Gusman Center or the Olympia-Gusman?) As Cohen so eloquently observed, there is no confusion as to the memories formed at the theater. He asks, 'do our memories go along with that deal' to give away the theater? The Olympia theater means so much more than a 100-year old building on Flagler Street with ornate architecture and timeless charm. Preserving history matter, not just in the tangible, but in the intangible. Memories, without a place to anchor them, fade away, relegated only to a Proustian moment. These old places, like the Olympia, are like portals that access the past. The preservation of space, place and authenticity of the 1920s silent movie palace must be guarded and protected. One must also strive to preserve the collective memories that reside within. This task is priceless. Karelia Martinez Carbonell, preservation advocate, Coral Gables Changed tunes Marianne Murciano's July 20 op-ed, 'We were once those immigrants in Miami,' expressed many of my own sentiments. Why do Cubans in Miami who fled the Castro regime's oppression and communism and were given the right to become U.S. citizens now support the Trump administration's policy to not give refugees — those fleeing dictatorships or violent countries — the same opportunities? Many of those in the Everglades detention center and other interment camps are not criminals, just hard working people who need a chance to survive. In my Midwestern hometown, during the Cuban crisis, I never heard any family or friends objecting to Cubans getting the same opportunity. Lainey Nacron, Miami Lethal rail Thank you to the Miami Herald and WLRN for finally reporting what the state and rail companies refused to admit: the Brightline death toll is 182. That's not a mistake. That's a cover-up. And it's not just Brightline. When you add fatalities from Tri-Rail and FEC freight, the death toll along Florida's east coast rail corridors exceeds that number. And still, the trains keep coming — faster and more frequent. I walk or bike across these tracks almost daily. I don't trust the gates, the lights, or the bells. I trust my eyes. And even that's not always enough. Florida's rail corridors are a tragedy waiting to happen — again. We now have three rail systems — Brightline, FEC freight and Tri-Rail, which runs on separate tracks — running through modern neighborhoods. There is no elevation, no fencing, no overpasses and often no warnings, thanks to 'quiet zones.' It's an engineering and public safety failure of staggering proportions. This didn't have to happen. Florida voters once approved a safe, elevated high-speed rail system, but former Gov. Jeb Bush killed it. Instead, we got fast trains on old tracks running through busy towns. The result is America's deadliest rail corridor, funded in part by taxpayers. This is what happens when political vanity and corporate convenience take precedence over public safety. Kerry Lutz, Palm Beach Gardens Cutting charities The July 21 front page story, 'With charity cuts looming, Miami-Dade to pay $250,000 a year to this new foundation run by a top Miami official,' raises serious questions about the county's funding priorities. As a disabled resident who relies on Special Transportation Services (STS), I was disheartened to see the county scrap RFP EVN0001136 — a competitive process that could have modernized and improved paratransit and microtransit for thousands of riders — while quietly steering a guaranteed revenue stream to an unproven nonprofit with limited public transparency and ties to a rodeo. The A3 Foundation has no apparent track record and its president is a full-time aide to the City of Miami's manager, now earning $80,000 from this charity. Meanwhile, Miami-Dade proposes to cut nearly $40 million in nonprofit grants and eliminate the very staff who help administer them. County leaders should explain how this happened and why public funds intended for community good are being funneled to a townhouse-based nonprofit with no clear oversight, while critical services for vulnerable populations are being slashed. Theo Karantsalis, Miami Springs Cutting services The Miami Herald's warning of the downside of proposed property tax cuts is much too neutral, especially for Miami-Dade County. Reducing or eliminating them altogether would be devastating and would do literally nothing to make Miami-Dade more affordable. Property taxes are a tiny fraction of any homeowner's cost burden (the tax collector offers payment plans). The number of homestead exemptions continues to grow and our low property taxes are a major draw for those considering moving here. Property taxes pay for county services people expect and have long had, including trash collection, prompt and professional police and fire response, public libraries and a school system which prepares students, not only for college, but also for well-paying jobs in the crafts and trades. I have lived in central Miami-Dade since 1970. Rather than celebrations of our laughably low property taxes, I hear constant complaints about 'high taxes.' Without an income tax and with a very low sales tax (with many exemptions and tax-holidays), how else can we pay for the services we need and want? Nancy Wear, South Miami Return a favorite The July 16 online story by Connie Ogle, 'This Latin American restaurant in an iconic Miami space is now closed for good,' was well written and informative. With Chica restaurant (formerly Soyka) closing, Mark Soyka should buy it back and reopen his former restaurant. If he did, it would be deluged with former and new diners and be booked solid, with reservations required weeks in advance. Peter R. Evans, Miami Does not compute If Miami-Dade County public schools are A-rated, why do we have to divert public funds through vouchers to send our students to private schools? Seems like a waste of taxpayers' money. Soon our schools will no longer be A-rated, which seems to be the goal of our politicians. Stewart Merkin, Miami
