The final episode saw Becky uncover the events that led to Chloe's death, however, what exactly happened to her is less clear. By the end of the episode, it is obvious that Elliott was involved in Chloe's death in some way, but whether she jumped from the cliff or was pushed remains a mystery. 

Viewers of the BBC thriller were left disappointed by the vague ending and took to Twitter to complain. One person wrote: "If there is no explanation of what was actually happening in #Chloe then may I have six hours of telly viewing time back, please? Thanks," while another added: "Disappointing ending to a fantastic show."
