The Ending Of Sharp Objects Explained

In the aftermath of their mother's arrest, Camille brings Amma to live with her in St. Louis, giving her a fresh start far away from Wind Gap. As the two sisters bond, Amma makes a new young friend in the neighborhood, Mae (Iyana Halley), and all finally seems well with the Preaker sisters.

However, Mae later goes missing, troubling both Camille and Amma, but that's nothing compared to Camille's eventual discovery. While looking through Amma's dollhouse, which she brought to St. Louis, Camille finds pristine white teeth. When Amma discovers Camille in her room, tooth in hand, the young girl simply says, "Don't tell Mama."

In a shocking twist, Amma, jealous of the attention both Ann and Natalie received from Adora, killed the girls with the help of her friends, and if you stick around for the episode credits, you'll see a brief montage of Amma and her friends killing both Wind Gap girls, as well as Amma killing Mae all by herself. Finally, as the credits end, there's one brief shot of Amma in a white dress. Earlier in the series, the children of Wind Gap claimed that a mysterious "Woman in White" took both girls, and well, it looks like they were right.
