The Plot Twist: Spoilers Ahead
There are a few plot twists in the television series especially what ends up happening to Louise, but lets discuss with the biggest one.
It turns out Adele isnt even Adele she is being inhabited by the soul of another person entirely, which is why her marriage with David has been so strained and hostile.
As we learn through flashbacks, it turns out that Adele developed a close friendship with a man named Rob while she was in a psychiatric treatment center.
She taught him how to astral project, but he used this information to betray her as he fell in love with her partner David and wanted David for himself.
One night when astrally projecting, Rob enters Adeles body and refuses to let Adeles soul back in, causing her to die.
Rob supposedly dies but his soul lives on in Adeles body, enabling him to continue forward in a relationship with David.
Adeles true identity is hinted at throughout the series, since anytime we see flashbacks from Adeles supposed perspective, Rob is always present.
Adele is also seen using heroin, Robs drug of choice, and seems to have knowledge that only Rob would possess.
This reminds viewers never to trust the friend who covets what you have or is envious of you, as some people are willing to go very far to steal your identity, mimic parts of you to gain praise, copy you, and wear your skin figuratively speaking of course, but certainly Rob took this to a literal degree using supernatural methods to infiltrate Adeles inner circle and take over Adeles whole life.
Viewers express that they are still shocked to this day about the nature of this disturbingly supernatural plot twist and very few would have guessed it.
Yet even the title of the movie itself hints at its true nature: behindhereyes and in her body indeed.
