The Ending of ‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ Threw Viewers For a Loop (EXCLUSIVE)

Netflix’s teen drama series My Life With the Walters Boys, based on the Ali Novak WattPad novel, is filled with an endless amount of, well, drama! You have Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex Walters’ (Ashby Gentry) ongoing rivalry that seems all too relatable for siblings close in age — and then there’s Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) who’s caught in a love triangle while trying to navigate this new chapter in her life without her family.

The Gist:

At the end of My Life With the Walter Boys, Jackie gets on a plane with her Uncle Richard, and the two are heading back to New York. The Walters are able to save their ranch with the help of their eldest son, Will, and Uncle Richard. Will and Haley overcome their struggles and finally tie the knot in the final episode of the series.

Explaining the Ending:

The ending of My Life With the Walter Boys spurred a whirlwind of emotions for us. Will and Haley see past their differences and agree to marry on the Walters’ ranch, Connor gets accepted to Juilliard, and a recruiter from a riding organization sees potential in Alex despite his reins snapping mid-performance. We also can’t forget Cole’s moment of self-realization as he begins to recognize the areas in his life that call for improvement. He starts on the right path by making amends with Erin (Alisha Newton). After all, he did do her wrong on so many occasions, so the apology was long overdue!

Why does Jackie go back to New York?

Jackie may have decided to return to New York to avoid having to face Cole and Alex, which would ultimately force her to decide who she wants to be with. It’s bound to happen since she left an apology letter to Alex, who rightfully assumes her departure has something to do with Cole’s actions. Another possible explanation for Jackie leaving Colorado is her wanting to pursue an internship offered by a Princeton alumna. While we don’t know if Jackie landed the internship considering she couldn’t explain how she would describe the color gold to a blind person, it’s possible her impressive track record got her the role.

Noah LaLonde Reveals Insights:

Noah LaLonde, who plays Cole in the series, shared his thoughts exclusively with us. “I hope, and I happen to believe, that there is a character for everyone in our show. With a big family, all the friends from school, the tight-knit community; there are a lot of different characters, facing a myriad of different issues,” Noah exclusively told us. He added, “With all these characters and all their obstacles, I feel like there is someone there for everyone to relate to. And when you can feel a sense of knowing what someone else is going through on-screen, the experience of watching the show immediately has more meaning.” Whether viewers find the show to serve as a source of hope or inspiration, Noah is hopeful they at least “can find a little piece of home in [it].” He adds, “I know I always loved finding that in television and movies growing up… and providing that for someone else would be a dream.”
