Thoughts on the ending?

I think when the death of Harper raised suspicions with Jeremy, Verity knew this could be the end of their marriage, and she would lose Jeremy forever as his love for her was conditional.

I think she then purposefully crashed her car for attention, Verity will go to extreme lengths for Jeremy’s attention and love, even if that means putting herself or others at risk.
Faking her locked in syndrome, would mean Jeremy would have to dedicate the rest of his life to looking after her 24/7, and attend her every need and acquire all his attention.

I don’t think Verity ever expected Lowen or anyone else to come into the picture, however with Jeremy not working and needing to pay for her care, he will still need an income and so hired Lowen to finish the series Verity had started.

When Lowen and Jeremy started developing feelings, and a clear family picture forming between the 3 of them, Verity wrote that letter with the intention Lowen would read it, as Verity was well aware of Lowen’s suspicions of her.

The letter was intended to try end the relationship between Lowen and Jeremy by painting Jeremy to be the villain in all this, and make Lowen feel guilty for her relationship with Jeremy. If successful, Lowen would end the relationship and Verity would have Jeremy all to herself again.
