The Mother ending explained: What happens to daughter Zoe?

Learn all there is to know about the finale of Jennifer Lopez-starring “The Mother”.

Netflix’s The Mother stars Jennifer Lopez in full action mode as a nameless former assassin (the mother of the title) who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she gave up for adoption years before to keep her safe.

Now 12-years-old, daughter Zoe is kidnapped by bad guy Alvarez, but he’s not the only person The Mother has to worry about – there is also an arms dealer named Lovell out there who, like Alvarez, believes Zoe could be his daughter as well as a useful bargaining chip to get The Mother (who double-crossed both of her ex-lovers) out into the open at last.

It soon becomes clear that The Mother has all sorts of enemies to worry about – from the man initially behind the kidnapping, Hector Álvarez (Gael García Bernal), to ruthless arms dealer Adrian Lovell (Joseph Fiennes), both of whom think Zoe is their daughter.

Even after The Mother is eventually reunited with Zoe, she still has a tough task when it comes to protecting her – read on to find out if she completes the task, and who was really Zoe’s father.

Was Lovell really Zoe’s father?

When Lovell confronts The Mother and Zoe in the big season showdown, it is revealed that Lovell is Zoe’s father.

Though the Mother and Zoe get away, Lovell eventually ends up finding them. At this point, we discover that Lovell is Zoe’s father while the two battle it out, but Zoe interferes again by turning a rifle on her warring parents and shooting, accidentally hitting both.

She rushes down to check her mother is OK, only for Lovell to reappear and grab her before taking her to his truck. Luckily he doesn’t get far before The Mother wakes and shoots at the truck – killing Lovell with a pinpoint headshot.

With her daughter now saved and her enemies eliminated, The Mother ends the film by taking Zoe back to her adoptive parents – after they have told each other that they love each other – and finally living her life out of hiding once again. In the final scene, we see that she is now living in an apartment close to Zoe and has been gifted a friendship bracelet bearing the word ‘Mom.’
