Blanc finds Andi, but an unseen assailant shoots her. Blanc gathers the group and announces that he has solved Andi's murder. An extended flashback shows that Andi actually died a week earlier, apparently by suicide; her twin sister Helen hired Blanc to investigate.
And Miles' former business partner Andi (Janelle Monae) appears to have been shot. (Except the bullet lodged in a journal she was carrying and she's fine.) But this is a twisty film, and we soon learn Andi died before the island getaway, supposedly by suicide.
Was Helen really Andi in the end of the Glass Onion?
As Glass Onion progressed, it was revealed that Helen, Andi's twin sister, was impersonating Andi to uncover the mystery of her twin's death and find her sister's killer.
Miles does, though, so did he clue into who his surprise guest really was at any point? Rian Johnson says the answer is no. After all, "Glass Onion" makes Klear that Miles Bron is an idiot. Supporting this, Johnson notes that Miles is just as shocked as the other characters when they realize "Andi" is really Helen.
It turns out that Duke had seen Miles leaving Andi's house on the day of her murder and figured out that the tech mogul had something to do with her death. The viewing stats bump that Duke showed Miles right before he died was actually a news alert about Andi's death, as the streamer blackmailed Miles.
The Real Reason Why Andi Was Murdered | Glass Onion Movie Clip
Why did Miles send Andi a box?
I assumed he sent her the box because he always did even though she had previously declined and it would've been suspicious if he hadn't this time. So in order to keep up the ruse of not knowing she was/would be murdered he sent her one. It's a cover.
So, who killed Andi? In a twist, none of Helen's original four suspects killed Andi. Instead, the culprit was none other than Miles, who learned of Andi's e-mail via a fax from Lionel.
It is implied that he normally invites Andi but doesn't expect her to arrive. If he didn't invite her after murdering her, it would demonstrate that he knew she was dead, so the invite could have been sent to cover his own tracks.
Smashing the glass was not only cathartic for Helen, someone who had to pretend to be her sister and deal with a group of self-absorbed narcissists, but also as a way to ruin the man who had torn apart her sister's life. Miles' island was an extension of his ego, destroying it was destroying a part of him.
Exactly halfway through Glass Onion, it's revealed that Andi is in fact Helen, Andi's twin sister, and that Andi had actually been found dead days prior. This twist makes the movie's first half entirely different, with repeat viewings likely making it clear that what was thought to be Andi was Helen all along.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery was released on Netflix last month, earning strong reviews from critics and audiences alike for its clever writing, which includes the reveal that Monáe's character, Andi, is actually Andi's twin sister, Helen.
The film then jumps back to when Blanc received the invitation. He was visited by Helen, Andi's twin sister, who brought him the smashed-up puzzle box. Helen tells Blanc that Andi is said to have committed suicide days earlier, but she believes that Andi was murdered.
What is the significance of the Mona Lisa in Glass Onion?
In Glass Onion, the Mona Lisa is a symbol for legacy. The painting serves as a moodboard for Bron's life, if you will, embodying the end goal he wants to achieve.
The big twist halfway through the film is that the standoffish Andi is actually her sister, Helen, and only Benoit Blanc knew this from the beginning. The problem is that Andi was supposed to be close with the other Disrupters, so it's nonsensical that none of them would recognize her.
So many people I know, and respect, DID truly enjoy 'Glass Onion'. But for me, this film was so over-the-top that I continually felt as though I were watching a TV sit-com or vaudeville show. That, not a film during which several central characters actually are murdered. And a murderer must be uncovered.
However, while Andi was the true visionary and brains behind the company, Miles was a scapegoat who took all the credit for her ideas. After discussing hydrogen fuel alternatives with a Norwegian scientist, Miles patented his own experimental hydrogen fuel "Klear" despite Andi's concerns over its safety.
Miles met Andi Brand and decided to form a company with her. Andi had an idea and Miles helped bring it to fruition. He became friends with her friends along the process. However, he and Andi butt heads after Andi had halted Klear's development for being unsafe.
We're back at Blanc's front door, as he's delivered a Miles Bron invitation of his own, from Andi's identical twin sister, Helen (also played by Monáe).
Duke had worked out the truth and attempted to blackmail Miles, which led to Miles killing him using pineapple juice, which the streamer was allergic to.
While there, Whiskey sneaks away with Miles seemingly having an affair with him. Duke sees. It's later revealed that Duke had Whiskey seduce Miles to let Duke join Alpha News.
The napkin, originally drawn in Andi's hand on a 'Glass Onion' stamped napkin from the pub that was their old haunt, was the missing piece in a trial that awarded sole ownership of the company to Miles and ruined Andi's name and her life forever.
Dallas Roberts as Devon Debella - Devon is Claire Debella's husband, and he's played by Dallas Roberts in the Glass Onion cast. Roberts is best known for his roles in the Liam Neeson film The Grey where he played Henrick, and in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line as Sam Phillips.
He treats his girlfriend Whiskey, who is mainly using him to get ahead in her career, as arm-candy, and even pressures her to seduce Miles to promote his own media presence.
