Cruel Summer season 2 finale reveal: Who killed Luke?

Cruel Summer season 2

As we prepared for the Cruel Summer season 2 finale tonight on Freeform, one question was 100% on our mind: Who killed Luke? Secondarily, why?

We knew that entering this final chapter, the intention was for us to be delivered something in the way of answers. Given that this show is an anthology, the idea here is that you get a chance to see a different story every single time the show comes back. That means, of course, that answers are pretty imperative this go-around.

There were a handful of suspects entering the finale, whether it be (of course) Megan, Isabella, or someone in Luke’s family. We know that it’s easy to rule out the two leading ladies of Cruel Summer this season, mostly because the producers wouldn’t possibly turn them into murderers … right? Well, this is where things do start to get a little bit complicated. Isn’t this the sort of show that would pull a crazy reverse-twist and have the murderer be right in plain sight?

We’re just pontificating at the moment, so we really should just go ahead and get to some of the larger answers now.

So, what happened?

Well, as it turns out, it was Isabella who killed Luke, but Brent was the one who left him in a state clinging to life. She basically finished the job, feeling like killing Luke was the way to ensure that Megan could have a better future. She then was able to take off to Ibiza and start a new life just as some of the truth was starting to come together.

Now, Isabella has another new name in Lisa and with that, she’s also befriending someone else. Is the cycle about to repeat itself again? After all that we’ve seen, you really do have to wonder, don’t you?
