Season 1 followed secret agents John and Jane Smith as they went undercover for a super-secret mission as a married couple. But things get complicated when their fake relationship turns into something real, forcing them to deal with their growing feelings and the challenges of life as a spy. As they fall in love, they begin to question their loyalty to the mysterious spy organization they work for, known as Hihi.
Things took an intense turn in the finale when John and Jane were both convinced that the other had been instructed to kill them, leading them to go on a rampage through the streets of Manhattan. However, they later discover that another pair of John and Janes (Wagner Moura and Parker Posey) was sent to kill them for trying to leave the organization.
In the final moments, the protagonist John is left wounded inside the house’s panic room, while the protagonist Jane—with one more bullet left—walks outside to confront the evil Jane. Moments later, three gunshots ring out — suggesting another weapon was fired — but the screen fades away without revealing who was hit or what happened next, leaving everyone’s fate in limbo.
