25 TV Plot Twists From This Year That Viewers Found So Shocking They Had To Pause The Show And Process For A Moment
We asked people of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the best plot twists in TV shows from 2022. Here are the moments that made their jaws hit the floor:
🚨Warning: Massive spoilers ahead include recent releases like Wednesday, Elite, The White Lotus, and Interview with the Vampire. 🚨
1."In the Season 2 finale of Only Murders in the Building, when Poppy was revealed to be Bunny's murderer."

Watch the full moment here:
2."In The White Lotus when Tanya found Quentin having sex with his supposed 'nephew' Jack."
"‘Nuff said."
3.In Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin when Principal Clanton revealed that he was "A" and Angela's father.
Truly did not see this coming. He wasn't a big character throughout the season, so I never would've guessed he had a connection to "A" or Angela.

4."In the last episode of Wednesday when we found out Tyler was the Hyde."
"I was completely taken aback. I loved his character and Xander’s until he completely changed and revealed himself."
5.In Yellowjackets, when Laura Lee abruptly died when the plane she was flying exploded.

6.In The Boys, when Butcher and the gang found out Soldier Boy was never killed and was being held captive by Russians who experimented on him.

8."In the last few minutes of the first season of Interview with the Vampire when Louis's servant Rashid revealed that he is actually the vampire Armand, a well-known character from the books."
"I did not see that reveal coming!"
9."In Yellowjackets, when it turned out that the woman in the tree Taissa's son was seeing at night was actually her sleepwalking."
10."In Euphoria, when Rue was saying cruel things to her mom while having a withdrawal breakdown, and it turned out Jules was in the kitchen the whole time and heard EVERYTHING."
"This whole scene was incredibly intense, and watching Rue attack her mom and sister was hard to watch. When Jules finally called out from the other room, I was just as floored as Rue was."
Watch the full moment here:
11."In The Bear, when Carmy found money in the cans of tomatoes that his dead brother hid to make sure the restaurant would be financially okay once Carmy took over."
12."In Derry Girls, when Clare's father died."
"It really caught me off guard. With it being the last season, I didn’t expect such a huge death, especially with the show's overall tone. I definitely think it shouldn’t have been included."
Watch the full moment now:
13."In Boo, Bitch when Erika pulled out her body from under the moose and saw that it was actually Gia's body, meaning that Gia had been a ghost the whole time, not Erika."
Watch the full moment here:
14."In Stranger Things when it was revealed that Vecna was Henry and 001."
"That blew my mind!!!"
15."In First Kill, when Sebastian ate Davina, his mother-in-law, after he was fed up with her."
"That ripped the entire face off my skull for a few seconds. It wasn't 'Oh, that's a clever twist.' It was 100% 'What the actual fuck?'"
16.In The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window, when the murderer was revealed to be 9-year-old Emma, the neighbor's daughter.
17.In the Riverdale Season 6 finale when all the characters woke up in the 1950s after surviving the comet that was heading toward town.
This show is so wacky at every chance, yet it still managed to leave me dumbfounded with its most absurd plot twist yet.
Watch the full moment here:
18."In A Million Little Things, when Gary's cancer came back."
"Now, he and Maggie are having a baby. It’s all far too upsetting!!!"
19."In Better Call Saul, when Lalo abruptly appeared and killed Howard."
"I’m still sad."
Watch the moment here:
20."In Peaky Blinders, when Tommy thought he was dying all season and was about to end his life, but then found out his doctor was a Nazi sympathizer who had lied to him, and he wasn't really dying."
Watch the full moment here:
21.In Elite, when all of Season 5 was leading up to finding out whose body was bleeding out in the pool, and in the finale, Samu got in a fight with Benjamin, fell, knocked his head onto the concrete, and rolled into the pool.
Watch the full moment here:
22.In Elite Season 6, when it was revealed that Sara was the one who actually hit Ivan with the car, not Mencia.
This was the strongest moment of the season. The whole season was working up to revealing who hit Ivan with the car, and in the finale, we finally saw that it was Mencia. It was so convincing that I didn't second guess it. So, imagine my surprise watching the last few minutes of the episode and seeing a flashback revealing that Sara actually hit Ivan and her ex-boyfriend covered it up to make it look like Mencia did it.
Watch the full moment here:
23."In Obi-Wan Kenobi, when Reva revealed that she survived Order 66, an attack by Anakin where he killed those who weren't ready for combat."
Watch the full moment here:
24."In the post-credits scene of the Ms. Marvel finale, when Kamala switched places with Captain Marvel after her Noor-linked bangle has a strange glow."
"It's a HUGE twist because in the comics, the Marvels can switch places, and it was WILD to see Brie on Disney+!!!"
25.And lastly..."In Severance, when Helly's Innie woke up at the Lumon Gala and learned from promotional videos playing at the event that Helena is an Eegan."
