Squid Game Season 2 Ending Recap Before Season 3 Hits Netflix
Curious to know what happens at the end of Season 2? The finale, titled 'Friend or Foe,' follows the remaining players as they try to survive. Gi-hun devises a strategic plan to rebel but needs allies he can trust. By the end, the Front Man appears and kills Gi-hun's closest friend, making him realize there's no hope left.
From a shocking death to a spine-chilling mid-credits scene, here's what unfolds in the Squid Game Season 2 ending.
Gi-hun's close friend, Jung-bae, dies in the final episode of Squid Game Season 2.
The finale centers on Gi-hun and his trusted allies as they launch an armed rebellion against those running the deadly game. Initially, the players feel a glimmer of hope, believing they've seized control of the arena. However, they don't realize the game was never meant to let them win. The Front Man, disguised as Young-il (Player 001), makes sure their uprising fails.
After splitting from the group, he fakes his own death as Young-il and kills two other rebels. Using a radio, he orders the guards to crush the rebellion. He then discards his Player 001 disguise and reappears in his true form as the Front Man, wearing his signature black cloak and mask.
He confronts Gi-hun and tells him that all his efforts have been in vain. To drive the point home, he kills Jung-bae in front of him, forcing Gi-hun to confront the pain of failure and loss. He spares Gi-hun's life, believing that living with the unbearable grief of losing a loved one is a greater punishment than death.
The season ends with a mid-credits scene featuring Players 096, 100, and 353 entering the play area, where they encounter the terrifying doll Young-hee—now joined by her new companion, Cheol-su.
