Locke and Key

The material they are asked to work with is rather bare-bones, and you can’t make a stew with just bones. Moving on to the negatives, I have to tell you I had a very hard time getting into this show due to the acting. On the writing side of thing, I think the events make sense when laid out in outline form. The third and final season of the Netflix original series Locke and Key drops on the streaming platform August 10. For those jumping into the series blind, here’s a brief synopsis: Locke and Key follows the Locke family — siblings Kinsey, Tyler, and Bode and their mother Nina — who have access to magic keys they find scattered throughout the family house. We can lay most of blame at the feet of the directors, though.

Episode 5 of Locke and Key Season 3 starts with Nina asking Bode how Dodge's body ended up under his bed. Bode throws some blatant lies about the Timeshift ...

Our characters do also finally realize that Bode is actually Dodge but not before Dodge has to spell it out and tell them. It’s clear that Gideon’s plan is going to cause a lot of chaos but could it also be reversed by the hourglass running out and time reversing? But then paradoxically, if Bode was never in this timeline possessed by Gideon then wouldn’t that mean everything up to this point would reverse and go back to that pivotal moment by the grandfather clock when Bode jumped back in time? Back in Locke House, Gideon gets his hands on every single key and prepares to open the portal. Deducing that this is similar to the Ghost Key, he finally understands that Bode is not himself anymore. Nina brings her concerns to Kinsey and Tyler, telling them that Bode is acting weird and there’s something off with him.

Dodge is back and she's possessed Bode, which leads to some good ol' fashioned body-swap humor with extremely high stakes. Meanwhile, Tyler and Carly work ...

And it feels like the pieces are in place for a final showdown now that Tyler is back and willing to remember the keys and the magic. The important thing is now Rufus knows and Dodge knows that Rufus knows. After a few scenes between Kinsey and Carly and Ellie and Rufus (she wants out of Matheson), Dodge gets to Kinsey in her pursuit of the keys. He tells Kinsey that he wants to be there for them, and that means knowing everything. She worked hard for that and didn’t get it until she was on her way back out the door. Introductions aside, Gideon suggests that Dodge could be useful in obtaining the keys from the Lockes — it turns out that even a possessed Locke can take the keys, which is a nice loophole for Dodge and Gideon. And Gideon’s plan is revealed when he squeezes the keys he has already and a portal starts to open in the ground. Bode pressures “Savini” Doug to give up the location of the keys they used to make their movies, but he has no idea. It feels likely that this is setup for a “Lockes United” final showdown, followed by the realization that families can be strong on their own without losing the power they have together. Gideon, who seems more and more destined to be relegated to a minor baddie instead of the big bad the start of the season promised (which is fine with LDO back), is in the woods with his buddies, making s’mores and planning the end of the world. For the sake of clarity, we’ll stick to using the name Dodge in this recap even when she’s in Bode’s form — the real Bode is a ghost in the cemetery, after all. Dodge marches to the graveyard and threatens to kill his whole family if he keeps it up. As that’s happening, Dodge is getting used to her new skin even as ghost Bode is trying to pass messages to the family via mom’s coffee mug.

There are four new keys introduced in the third season, the Animal Key, the Creation Key, the Snow Globe Key and the Timeshift Key. The Animal Key opens the ...

The Creation Key allows the user to bring any drawing to life. This list doesn’t include keys mentioned only in the comics. With the Lockes regularly finding new keys in Keyhouse, it’s easy to forget which ones they have already discovered and what each key does.

The Locke & Key season 3 cast is in more danger than ever. Let's meet the key players in the final season of the Netflix fantasy series.

She’s also very close to realizing her lifelong dream of publishing a novel. With the Memory Key she’s able to see what her kids have been dealing with. An avid TV and movie fan, her perennial favorites are The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, true crime documentaries on Netflix and anything from Passionflix. You’ve Got Mail, Ocean's Eleven and Signs are movies that she can watch all day long. Jones was nominated for a BAFTA award for Best Leading Actress for her work in the film. While this could lead to big adventures, it also comes with a lot of risk. Where else have you seenJackson Robert Scott? Jackson Robert Scott is a familiar face for horror movie fans. She’s always had her older brother watching over her, so the dynamic will shift when he leaves and she’s in charge of keeping younger brother Bode out of trouble. He’s the one who discovers the keys and their magic. As the youngest member of the Locke family, losing his dad was very hard for Bode Locke. It’s not surprising, then, that when the family moves to Keyhouse it’s a big adventure for Bode as he struggles to grieve and figure out his new life. Needless to say, anyone who knows about the keys is aware of their power and there are people (and demons) who will do anything to find them. As the only female among the Locke siblings, she’s always had a different way of looking at the experience in the Keyhouse. She used the Head Key to remove her fears; this helped her adjust to her new life at a new school, but it wasn’t without danger. As he approaches his 18th birthday, though, things are about to change.

The return of two past villains, Dodge and Eden, is much welcomed. And whilst Bode continues to be very annoying, his stupid mistakes may actually create some ...

By being bratty towards Nina and refusing to listen, he may have caused a lot of trouble for his family. Tyler confronts Kinsey over not reporting the “break-in”. And Bode uses the Timeshift key. He transports to when Dodge and Eden tried to kidnap. Captain Frederick Gideon goes to the museum and stumbles across Josh, and tries to find out where the missing items are. Elsewhere, Bode accuses Nina of forgetting about his Dad. So, Nina uses the Head key so Bode can relive one of the memories. Kinsey, Abbey, Zadie, and Doug, take Eden’s body out for a send-off; and Kinsey then sings a song.

Locke and Key season 3 is now on Netflix and it concludes the fantasy series. Does Gabe (Griffin Gluck) return? Does Dodge (Laysla De Oliveira)?

While Dodge, played both by Laysla De Oliveira and Griffin Gluck, do appear in Locke and Key season 3, the Lockes have a way bigger threat in Gideon to worry about this time around. It’s not until episode 5, “Siege,” that the family realizes Bode is actually Dodge, and they end up teaming up with Dodge to fight off Gideon. That’s the last we see of her in Locke and Key season 3. Throughout Locke and Key season 3, we’re introduced to new keys as the family tests a few out that turn out to be pretty dangerous.

Even the villainous Eden (Hallea Jones) was thrown down a well. Other than the threat of the monstrous Gideon (Kevin Durand) lurking in the shadows and the ...

Saum started on the soap Sunset Beach back in the ’90s and is probably best known for starring on The Fosters in the ’10s. It’s nice to see her get a bigger role in this final season. • Sherri Saum (Ellie) and Kevin Durand (Gideon) have been upgraded to the opening credits this year. It’s a great tone setter and a reminder of the excellent art from the source. In her pocket, they find a key that they give to Gideon. And, well, it looks like that may have been their entire plot purpose because the Lockes pretty handily defeat the twisted sisters in the next scene, trapped in a mirror world that looks like an even worse fate than the snow-globe one. • Like last season, it appears that the premiere is going to be the only one that gets the full-credit treatment. Nina and Ellie talk about magic and keys, interestingly noting that they don’t play favorites: “They want to be used — good, bad, they don’t care.” It’s not the key that causes problems, it’s the key-holder. Will he return to Matheson? And will he bring that trauma with him? The sense that the Lockes aren’t whole without Tyler continues into a scene in which Nina and Kinsey plan the seating at the wedding. Almost every time a key or object comes into this universe, it will find its way into the “main” plot, usually to save a member of the Locke family. Other than the threat of the monstrous Gideon (Kevin Durand) lurking in the shadows and the natural sadness that comes when someone like Tyler leaves home, there’s less drama to start the season than last year’s rapid-paced outing. Kinsey (Emilia Jones) finally started a relationship with Scot (Petrice Jones). Duncan (Aaron Ashmore) was back to normal. The Lockes are back for the third and final season of Locke & Key, and it’s an interesting season premiere because the last season’s finale really could have been a series-ender, if not for the actual final scene.

Locke & Key is airing its third season, continuing the adventures of Tyler (played by Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones) and Bode Locke (Jackson Robert ...

Some of the cast, in fact, have already moved on to other projects. This statement comes despite the fact that there is plenty more of the comic book series they could choose to adapt. Per the show's makers, however, it was their decision to end Locke & Key after season three.

Episode 6 of Locke and Key Season 3 sees the Locke's rush away from Locke house. Bode is still outside though... but there's a problem.

Ellie promises to tell the Captain exactly where the key is in exchange for him being let go. He manages to slip back in the chimney, returning to how he was. Rufus deduces they could use the Timeshift Key to go back in time and stop things but Ty is completely against this. Of course, they’re not at Locke house right now but likewise, Josh is oblivious to the keys and the magic. Kinsey and Tyler are picked up by Rufus, who all discuss the different keys and try to work out how to fix this. He senses that they still have one more key to collect, so Gideon tasks Bolton with heading off and questioning the historian (Josh) over the whereabouts of Nina.

What starts as just another Bode misadventure ends up with something that seems likely to define the endgame of the entire show. A recap of season three, ...

Bode has the Timeshift Key and he goes to see his dad, but he miscalculates and ends up in the battle from the end of last season with Gabe, Eden, and the family. The episode spins its wheels a bit before getting to a key moment in the history museum between Josh and Tyler when the eldest Locke child spots a Revolutionary War buckle that looks familiar. Dodge pushes Bode through the door and then jumps through it herself. Given how often Netflix series sag under the weight of a full ten hours, it’s nice to see creators allowed to come in at the right length for their material instead of dragging it out. The Savinis pull Eden from the well, casually tossing off a “She must have been pushed,” as if murder is a daily occurrence in Matheson. And then they have a little send-off on a cliffside that ends with Kinsey starting to see “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World a cappella, and then the rest of the theater kids sing along, getting louder as they go. What a strange, cringe-inducing scene that reeks of writers having no idea how to close the Eden loop and feeling like they needed to do something or risk “Barb”-ing a fan-favorite character. Back to “reality” as the weirdest sequence in the history of the show unfolds. As she says, it took “serious demon strength.” After Bode leaves and Kinsey gets a reminder that Tyler doesn’t remember most of, well, the history of the show, Kins happens to shine a flashlight to the bottom of the well and casts a light on the frozen corpse of Eden. She gasps. It comes out of nowhere, set up as just another Bode misadventure and concluding with something that seems likely to define the endgame of the entire show. It would probably be very difficult for a recovering alcoholic to literally see themselves drinking, but the writers here let down this episode-long arc about regret and even potential relapse by making it feel all a little too “TV movie.” The scenes of Nina’s addiction feel deeply manufactured and arguably too safe. He worries that Nina will forget about their dad, Rendell (Bill Heck). He starts by trying to find the Timeshift Key so he can go back and visit his father. And then the episode redeems itself by killing the final scene, bringing back a performer and energy that the season desperately needs — sorry, Kevin Durand fans.

The penultimate episode of the Netflix series goes inside Gordie's head (literally) as the Lockes search for the final key. A recap of season three, ...

A flashback reveals that young Ellie and her friends went into Gordie’s head to remove the memory about the Creation Key and hid it there. They have to take that chance and put the Head Key in the dying man while he’s bleeding out. There’s some pretty awful writing in a scene between Ellie and Gideon about how humans are also bad before things start to really go haywire in Gordie’s head. Kinsey, Tyler, Sam, and Rufus come upon Gordie’s body shortly after Ellie and Gideon have gone into the poor guy’s head. Gideon is riding with Ellie in her “horseless carriage.” He pulls a knife and orders her to speed up. “It would be great to feel like I’m not just a bit player in one of your stories,” says Gordie (and the word bit arguably could be considered a pun there). “One of these days, I’m gonna matter to you.” He’s right! In kind of a cruel writing choice, Gordie is still trying to get acting jobs today that elude him when Gideon and Ellie break into his house. He knocks her down, and the whole scene was kind of a waste of time. But young Gordie Shaw sees the creature that Rendell has created, and he’s not one of the Scoobs. They try to hide the truth from him, but the lizard-man they created literally bites him. The important thing is that Sam wants the opportunity to help Nina and her family, and right now they need as much help as they can get. In the end, it dispatches both Gordie and Sam in a way that’s actually kind of depressing when one looks back on the whole thing. It is almost time to lock up Keyhouse forever as the final season of Netflix’s Locke & Key races to an action-packed conclusion.

Locke and Key showrunners Carlton Cuse and Meredith Averill discuss the series finale, Stephen King's surprising influence, and whether they'd come back for ...

That was actually the very first scene we shot for that block, which was good in that we got it out of the way, because we knew it was the heaviest. And it’s a really important scene for the whole family for different reasons, because it’s what gives Bode the permission to feel like he could be okay with Nina and Josh, that he could be okay with letting go of the keys because of what his father tells him. Anyway, so and then Joe really fell in love with the idea, and really wanted to do that episode with us, and be involved in the writing of it. And we thought this was a great pitch to have them have to get rid of the keys. It was just such a wonderful thing to have that, and to have them really be super, not only open to it, but champions of the idea that we were going to take their story and tell it our own way. It feels like, that was the one major concession that we made to COVID was not being able to have those guys back. Gideon is such a blunt object of a villain, to the point that he’s almost like The Rock in Fast & Furious-style bashing through walls in the last episode. So yeah, we were able to recreate the sequence that you’re talking about on the second floor of Keyhouse, we were able to do that at the end of Season 3. So we just thought this was a beautiful way to tell the story of them having to let go, and move on from it. Cuse: We were looking for almost like a narrative circularity, that this family had been launched into Keyhouse by this horrible event, the murder of their father and husband, and they were experiencing a lot of grief from that and dislocation. I don’t know, I think one of the great things about having a partnership with someone as wonderful and talented as Meredith is there’s not a lot of bullshit that goes on. We live in an era where there’s a lot of shows, and it’s hard to have an audience invest in something that’s really long.

The cast of the series, which included Emilia Jones, Connor Jessup and Jackson Robert Scott, has also reportedly moved on from the series and began new projects. Considering the show’s creators, Locke and Key were destined for only three seasons. Netflix’s original horror series, Locke and Key, has a way of putting its teetering on the edges of their seats with its humorous and wildly powerful scenes.

Gideon wanted much more than Dodge ever did. He wanted to gather all the keys and use them to combine the demon world and the human world. It would be ...

He is happy to see that everyone close to him is alive and happy. It led to the portal to his world opening, and he was willing to throw Kinsey into the portal if he didn’t get the keys. This is before they can use the keys on a few people, including Scott and Josh. Fortunately, he was able to take over one of the echo’s bodies. When Gideon thought he had all the keys, he started the spell. As for Dodge, Bode found the Time Key, which took him back in time to when Dodge was around.
