The Ending Of The Girl On The Train Explained
By Ava Barnes
Rachel may think that Megan's life is idyllic and perfect, but as it turns out, that couldn't be further from the truth. Unhappy in the isolated suburbs, Megan, who used to work at art galleries in Manhattan, now works as a nanny for Tom and Anna's daughter, Evie, but she's bored and alone in her home with Scott, growing tired of her marriage. However, she eventually tells Dr. Abdic that her problems run even deeper than simple dissatisfaction.
The two begin a romantic relationship, and Megan confesses that when she was much younger, she had a baby girl. Living alone with her daughter and her lover in a remote cabin, Megan fell asleep one night with her daughter in the bath. When she woke up, her daughter had drowned, traumatizing her. To others, especially Rachel, Megan looks like the ideal woman, but with such a tragic event behind her, her everyday life is troubled and fraught, making her disappearance even more complicated.
