Contents The first episode of Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher sets up a few mysteries that the series doesn’t solve until its eighth and final installment.
The first is, of course, why Verna even chose to orchestrate the deaths of all of the Usher children. It’s also unclear initially why Lenore is constantly texting her grandfather, Roderick , during his conversation with C. Auguste Dupin . Lastly, there’s the nature of the mysterious “confession” that Roderick has promised Dupin.
In its opening third, The Fall of the House of Usher episode 8 additionally reveals that not only was it Roderick’s selfishness that broke up his marriage to Annabel Lee , but that he later used his wealth to lure their kids away from her. It’s implied that she killed herself after losing the love and attention of her children — the very same ones Roderick had already condemned to die by that point.
Roderick then cut out Madeline’s eyes and replaced them with sapphires in order to send her into the afterlife like the Egyptian queens of old. Unfortunately, just like the Usher siblings failed to do with their mother years prior, Roderick didn’t double-check to make sure that Madeline was truly dead before he locked her in her own sarcophagus.
