Chucky Finale Recap: Jake’s Jaunt to the Spirit Realm Has Major Consequences — Plus, Tiffany’s Fate, Revealed!

If Bride of Chucky is one of your favorite Child’s Play movies, you’re in for a real treat.

Wednesday’s jam-packed finale starts with Tiffany who’s about to be executed in prison. As she lies on death’s door with a needle plunged into her arm, she’s seconds away from certain death… until a guard who’s under her control swoops in, blowing away everyone who stands in his way. Looks like all of Tiff’s voodoo finally paid off in a major way.

While Nica screams at the sight of Tiffany’s jailbreak, Jake goes under to find his way into the spirit realm. The White House has become a magnet for the dead, but before he can locate Charles Lee Ray, he has a run-in with his late abusive father. (More Devon Sawa? Sure, why not?) Jake ultimately forgives his dad, and Lucas warns his son to be careful because “he’s more dangerous here.”

Jake eventually finds Chucky’s spirit (in the form of returning franchise vet Brad Dourif), who brings him to a large theater that’s playing clips from past Chucky movies and episodes. It’s a “best of” reel of the madman’s greatest (and most horrific) kills. Other versions of Charles/Chucky are there, even young Charles (the one played by Brad’s real-life daughter, Fiona Dourif). As the two bicker about what their next steps should be, Jake finds Good Chucky who tells him that Caroline is with grandfather Wendell. Wendell Wilkins, that is.

Jake begs Good Chucky to help him finish this once and for all, but it’s all a distraction for Chucky to inhabit Jake’s body. Shortly after, Devon wakes “Jake” up as a bomb explodes, setting the White House on fire.

Jake/Chucky brings Devon and Lexy to Wilkins’ home (hello, cult film auteur John Waters!). Wilkins reveals that he created the Good Guy dolls as he parades the kids around a creepy room filled to the brim with mannequins, dolls and other oddities. After the murders began in 1988, the Good Guy doll ruined him professionally, financially and psychologically. Lo and behold, he still has the original Good Guy prototype. Caroline is there, too, but she’s wielding a knife and has clearly been taken over by the dark side. She recognizes immediately that Jake is, in fact, Chucky. But Chucky just wants back inside the body of the doll, so with Caroline’s Voodoo for Dummies book, she, Chucky and Wilkins start to hail the almighty Damballa.

The gates open outside and up drives Tiffany who’s elated to be reunited with her lover. Chucky proposes, much to her delight, as Wilkins shows her a doll in a wedding dress. He saved her prototype as well, he says. Caroline peels out of the driveway with Chucky and Tiffany making out in the backseat (in their classic Bride of Chucky forms). When Nica arrives to the mansion, she finds that Jake, Lexy and Devon have all been turned into dolls themselves. Wilkins lurks behind her with a gun and when we cut to an exterior shot of the creepy, glowing house, we hear Nica’s terrified scream ringing throughout the night.
