DearWhitePeople’s SilkyRiiich and JaclynPMoore break down Reggie's transformation throughout the series.

that serves as the biggest mystery of the series finale; what happened to Reggie?

In the series finale's present-day storyline, Reggie thwarts a white supremacist terrorist who snuck onto campus to attack the Black students during the opening night of the Armstrong-Parker House's varsity show. Using an app he created to help Black people find safe spaces, Reggie shoots him before he gets the chance to hurt anyone but, although Reggie saved the day, he's forced into hiding because of all the harassment he gets.

It was then, Richardson explained, that Reggie was forced to contend with a crossroads:"Is he a man or is he a movement?""I think he had to become less of a movement -- a pseudo movement -- and really just take care of himself," he shared."So throughout the seasons, we've seen him deal with PTSD, seen him try to put self-care first and also, do things that were selfish, detrimental and not conducive to his relationship with Joelle and other people around him.

It's Reggie's encounter with campus police during the breaking up of the Blackface Party -- when one officer points his gun in Reggie's face because he doesn't believe he's a student at the school -- that serves as the series' first step away from the film. The event kicks off the series of events that lead to him buying a firearm in season 4 and subsequently shooting the racist.

Why Do People Hate the 'Dear Evan Hansen' Movie So Much?'Dear Evan Hansen': The Play earned tons of praise, won a half dozen Tonys and turned Ben Platt into a Broadway star. 'Dear Evan Hansen': The Movie has generated nothing but hate. What happened? It looks awful. He looks ridiculous. And I saw the show 3 times. Platt made a gross error taking this screen role. Indeed, someone else was capable of playing this role, and playing it believably. The world will never know. You know what.. I unapologetically loved the movie. It wasn’t as good as the Broadway show, but it was still really good. And nobody I watched it with gave a rat’s ass that Platt was 27. 20-30 year olds playing high schoolers is completely normal and common in tv and movies.
