how does the idol end

how it ends Sculpture? It’s hard to explain what the purpose of the TV series created by Sam Levinson, Reza Faheem and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye is.

Her tour sold out and tickets sold out within three weeks: the pop star is back and more powerful than ever, as if the nightmare Tedros presented never existed. or yes While rehearsing for their date at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, Jocelyn jokes with Finklestein, Nikki and Chaim about how they destroyed Tedros’ life, who also hijacked his famous club. It also seems that Jocelyn herself is now the head of her sect.

The ending of The Idol has the same explanation: Jocelyn knew about Tedros’s machinations because… she was the one who pulled the strings.
