The ending of School Tales The Series explained

What did Boyd do?

The final episode of School Tales The Series chronicles the story of a school student named Boyd, who seemed to be quite skeptical about the supernatural world. He can be seen roaming around the school hallways after hours and live-streaming the classrooms and corridors to justify his skepticism.

Tum, one of Boyd's closest friends, can be seen joining him in his exciting venture as he is highly interested in haunted stories and is quite eager to learn about them. According to Boyd, he is the perfect partner for him to go on this journey.

Soon, the audience will realize that the episode is an anthology within an anthology as it depicts several intriguing ghost stories deeply connected to the school. From the story of a bullied student to the story of a school gymnast, the episode presents the audience with many scares.

Boyd relays all these stories as he goes to different corners of the school building with Tum by his side. But soon enough, Boyd's skepticism turned to dust after the characters from the ghost stories began to torment him.

In the latter part of the episode, it is revealed that Boyd's skepticism comes from a much darker and deeper place. The audience gets introduced to a story here about Boyd's own life where he, as a youngster, can be seen making a bet with a friend regarding a highly eerie-looking bark door in the school.

Boyd's friend can be seen losing the coin toss and going through the door, and he was never to be seen again by anyone. Clearly, Boyd was traumatized by the incident, and this whole venture is his attempt at rationalizing what happened to his friend.

The audience is provided with the biggest twist at the end of the episode. Tum, who has been on the journey all along with Boyd, is dead. Apparently, he had an awful accident on his way to meet Boyd at the school. This heart-wrenching truth was revealed in the live chat.

This final twist makes the episode even more chilling. At the very end, Boyd's friend, who was never seen again, appears, and Boyd is seen crossing the bark door with that friend and Tum.
