Who Is Erin Carter: Ending Explained
The series focuses on Erin, a schoolteacher living in Barcelona with her daughter and working towards keeping away from her past. Erin tries hard to maintain her new life away from her shackling past, only for it to crumble after a robber she hit during a grocery store robbery recognizes her.
Who Is Erin Carter starts with Erin lying with her daughter in their bed, anxiously looking at the time on the clock kept at her bedside table. The moment the clock hits 5:00 A.M., Erin is up and shuffling around while getting ready.
Harper isn’t interested in getting ready to leave, but Erin convinces her little girl in a way any mother would do by telling her made-up stories about dragons being outside their door waiting for them. Erin gets her daughter ready, and the pair reach the dock in the early hours of the morning. After Erin gives the required amount of money to a boat owner, he lets her board it.
Erin discusses Harper practicing a song the previous night with a fellow teacher while the practice for a school musical was going on in the background. It has been five years since Hayley and Erin ran away to Barcelona, and the two are adjusting well to the environment until Harper fights with Antonio, a boy who usually makes fun of her for having weak eyesight.
Harper gets kicked out of the musical after her fight with Antonio, and on their way home, Harper asks Erin to stop as she needs to use a restroom. After returning from the washroom to the supermarket, Erin realizes they are caught in the middle of a grocery store robbery.
Erin notices the customers being held at gunpoint and thus creates a diversion to protect Harper. Harper, using her remarkable skills and agility, shoots the robber, choking her with a gun. The other robber at the store runs away after the alarm goes off. Something unexpected happens when the robber Erin left unconscious calls her Kate when she goes to visit him in the hospital.
Although Erin gets hailed as the local hero, she gets called to the police station for further questioning by Inspector Tabarez. At the police station, the inspector shows Erin footage of herself using her brilliant skills to fight off the robber.
Erin attempts to make amends with Penelope but catches her getting physical with the tennis coach. Tarabez becomes suspicious of Erin after he learns that Emilio didn’t hand over the CCTV footage.
Tarabez begins to investigate Erin’s background after her given details about past work experience turn out to be false. Emilio asks Erin for help to deal with some men he has gotten involved with.
Erin rummages through her old stuff and pulls off a gun, only to get caught in the act by Harper. The cat-and-mouse chase continues throughout the series, not revealing much about her past. The truth behind her past is finally revealed in a flashback where the viewers get to see that Erin was an orphan determined and working hard to enter the police force.
The twist came when Erin was recruited by the CIO, responsible for managing to convert law enforcement. Erin chose Kate Jones as her undercover name and started working for CIO by becoming a mole in a criminal gang working with Lena. It also gets revealed that Harper isn’t Erin’s daughter, but she is raising Lena’s daughter.
The night cops raid the gang’s hideout, Erin runs away from there with Harper and the gold the gang stole after she realizes that if she leaves Harper behind, then Harper will become an orphan. Kate decides to start a new life away from the CIO and chooses the name Erin Carter before running to Barcelona with her daughter.
Does Erin Carter Survive?
The reason behind Erin raising Harper is that she thinks Lena died in the cop raid, but as it turns out, Lena is alive and back to get her daughter. Lena wants Harper back either by hook or croak, so she collaborates with Daniel Lang, the main antagonist of the series and the one behind the gold robbery.
The collaboration between Leena and Daniel happens because they both want Erin dead. Daniel wants Erin dead because of the gold she stole, and Lena wants revenge because she thinks Erin stole her daughter.
The deal is Erin will die, and Leena will take her daughter back while Daniel will have his revenge. Even though the pair tries to end Erin’s life in several instances, she survives. Leena and Erin join hands after they realize they are on the same page and want the best life for Harper after Daniel kidnaps Harper and Jordi.
Leena and Erin begin to make a plan to free Harper and do so successfully after Leena sacrifices her life in the final moment. The series ends with Erin successfully ending Daniel’s life. This ends the circle of cat and mouse chase as there is no one behind Erin anymore.
Now, Erin can live a happy life with Jordi and Harper as a real family. The series has an open ending as Armstrong, the CIO’s head, is keeping track of Erin and requests her to work for him again. Initially, Erin refuses to work for the CIO and lead a normal life, but the viewers will have to wait to know for sure. Overall, Erin survives, and Daniel is dead in the series finale.
