The ' Do Revenge' ending explained

Eleanor (Maya Hawke) and Drea (Camilla Mendes) form their bestie bond over their mutual desire for revenge. The targets? Drea's ex-boyfriend Max (Austin Abrams) and Eleanor's ex-friend Carissa (Ava Capri). The crimes? Max leaked Drea's sex tape. Carissa accused Eleanor of trying to hold her down and kiss her when they were 13. This was after Eleanor had simply confided the truth about her sexuality to Carissa at summer camp. Drea concocts the ultimate scheme — nobody knows that she and Eleanor are friends. Why don't they "do revenge" on each other's source of torment? The introverted Eleanor reluctantly agrees.

She finally apologizes to Eleanor for what she did and admits that Eleanor is probably the truest friend she's ever had. Eleanor doesn't get a chance to reply before Max enters the scene, complete with a cliché slow clap. It turns out that Drea's ex was more twisted than Eleanor and Drea combined! He admits to being a bonafide a--hole, and Eleanor catches his confession on tape. The sex tape leaker finally gets his comeuppance at his own party after Eleanor leaks his confession to his guests. Eleanor and Drea ride off into the sunset, reconciled and best friends, for real this time. Because if there's one thing that can unite two strong-willed women more than anything, it's the desire to take down a toxic man. You can stream Do Revenge now on Netflix.
