She spends most of the series manipulating Anya, but was this her plan all along? And does she have feelings for Anya or is there more to it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/11\/13\/the-body-netflix-ending-explained-grace-smile-meaning-season-2-update\/\">the ambiguous ending<\/a>, actress Geena Meszaros has revealed what was really going on in Lisbeth&#8217;s head. And there&#8217;s a lot more to her behaviour than you might think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But first, let&#8217;s rewind to the Halloween party where everything went spectacularly wrong. The Lions dance team decide to initiate newcomer Grace Franklin (Sofia Wylie) by staging a mock satanic sacrifice and taking ecstasy. You know, standard Catholic schoolgirl activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But things take a horrifying turn when Grace starts burning up and collapses. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/11\/12\/the-body-netflix-cast-characters-ages-compared\/\">Anya Butler (Kristina Bogic)<\/a> and Lisbeth find her and panic. When Grace appears to die during the journey to hospital, they decide to take her home instead of getting medical help.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11538\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11538\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11538\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/3-19.jpg\" alt=\"Anya in The Body\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/3-19.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/3-19-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/3-19-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the following morning, Grace is alive but unconscious. And with nobody knowing exactly what happened to her, the entire town soon becomes obsessed with the possibility that something supernatural is going on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Lisbeth uses the secret to worm her way into Anya&#8217;s life. She pushes Elise (Sara Boustany) out of the picture and establishes herself as one of the most influential members of the Lions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the thing: it\u2019s clear Lisbeth has had one of the most messed up upbringings imaginable. But she does do terrible things, sparking a debate over whether she\u2019s a victim or a villain.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for those in the latter camp, they\u2019re questioning whether Grace\u2019s momentary death even happened in the first place\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Did Lisbeth actually fake Grace&#8217;s death in The Body?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11540\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11540\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11540\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/5-16.jpg\" alt=\"Anya and Lisbeth carrying Grace in The Body\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/5-16.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/5-16-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/5-16-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As suspicious as Lisbeth&#8217;s behaviour is, there&#8217;s no confirmation that she faked Grace&#8217;s death or deliberately caused her collapse. And comments from the cast and crew seem to support this belief.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we do know is that Grace took ecstasy at the Halloween party, became seriously ill and appeared to stop breathing. Anya and Lisbeth then made the disastrous decision to take her home rather than seek medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where Lisbeth\u2019s morals become questionable is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this incident. Rather than simply keeping her head down and hoping nobody finds out, Lisbeth realises that Anya&#8217;s guilt gives her a huge deal of power. And she wastes absolutely no time using it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She initially wants a place on the Lions dance team, but her demands become increasingly outrageous. By the finale, she&#8217;s blackmailing Anya for $100 a week and somewhere for herself and her brother Leo (Jackson Kelly) to live.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She&#8217;s also been exploiting the town&#8217;s growing religious hysteria. When the girls start reporting visions of Grace, Lisbeth encourages the idea that something divine is happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11537\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11537\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11537\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2-20.jpg\" alt=\"Lisbeth with the Lions team in The Body\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2-20.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2-20-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2-20-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the finale, Anya finally confesses everything. But Lisbeth gathers the Lions and tells them a very different version of events. She claims Grace was dead and that she personally brought her back to life after hearing God speak to her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s for this reason Lisbeth\u2019s been branded a villain by so many viewers, with some suspecting that she may have faked Grace\u2019s death to get leverage over Anya.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the cast and crew\u2019s more sympathetic take on her character seems to suggest she may have been telling the truth at first, only to exploit it later.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/netflix\/\">Netflix&#8217;s<\/a> Tudum, Meszaros explained, \u201cEveryone keeps saying she\u2019s a mastermind, or she\u2019s manipulative, and she has this big plan, but she really doesn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe just sees an opportunity, runs with it, and knows how to look out for herself, because she\u2019s had to do that forever. I think she just acts fast and maybe doesn\u2019t think everything through, which is so fun to play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actress made a similar point in an interview with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitedaily.com\/entertainment\/geena-meszaros-lisbeth-sexuality-the-body-season-2-interview\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elite Daily<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, explaining that she approached Lisbeth as someone driven by survival rather than pure malice. \u201cI tried to make her more of an opportunist than a manipulator,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11539\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11539\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/4-19.jpg\" alt=\"Lisbeth in The Body\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/4-19.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/4-19-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/4-19-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s more, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/the-body\/\">The Body<\/a> creator Quinn Shephard and co-showrunner Gina Gammell both told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/11\/the-body-ending-explained-by-creators-season-2-hopes-1237221976\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deadline<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that they\u2019re Lisbeth defenders.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gammell explained, \u201cWe\u2019ve talked a lot about how there is an interpretation of the character that\u2019s really manipulative or almost teetering on sociopathic, and I think we never ever saw the character that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think that Lisbeth is someone who is deep in survival and has been for a lot of her life. You can feel her heart. People are like perpetually baffled by her, she\u2019s a little bit unreadable, but I think that there is a sweetness to her and the way that she is with her brother, there is a mischievousness and her humor is so intelligent.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a character we\u2019re just scraping the surface of in regards to where she can go. [She\u2019s] desperate to find purpose and place in the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the sympathy, there are many things that are difficult to justify. One of Lisbeth&#8217;s nastiest moments involves Maddie (Shirley Chen), who is struggling with an eating disorder. Lisbeth exploits and encourages this in an attempt to take her spot on the dance team.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to Netflix about this, Meszaros said, \u201cThere are a lot of moments where I had to really dig deep for Lisbeth to understand why she was being so awful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople like Maddie, who are so devout and naive that they don\u2019t question their faith the way that Lisbeth has been forced to question hers, could trigger Lisbeth. I feel like Lisbeth might even see an old version of herself that she\u2019s angry at in Maddie. I really just tried to play it from that place of empathy and understanding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Was Lisbeth in love with Anya?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11542\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11542\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/7-8.jpg\" alt=\"Anya in The Body\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/7-8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/7-8-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/7-8-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another question that arises in the Netflix series. Clearly, Lisbeth is obsessed with Anya and seeks out her friendship, but are her feelings romantic? The short answer, according to Meszaros, is no.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to understand why people might think this. Throughout The Body, she seems determined to become the most important person in Anya&#8217;s life. She uses their shared secret to gain her trust, repeatedly driving a wedge between Anya and Elise.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Meszaros has revealed that she actually approached Lisbeth\u2019s sexuality very differently. \u201cI was thinking she\u2019s asexual throughout filming,\u201d she told Elite Daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn\u2019t definitely mean it\u2019s canon, but it does suggest her fixation on Anya wasn&#8217;t necessarily intended to be romantic. Instead, the actress believes it stems from Lisbeth&#8217;s desperate need to belong after losing the religious community she grew up in.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11541\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11541\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11541\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/6-12.jpg\" alt=\"Leo and Lisbeth in The Body\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/6-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/6-12-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/6-12-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we discover throughout The Body, Lisbeth and Leo were raised in an extreme religious group led by their father, who died during a dangerous ritual. Their upbringing has left both siblings struggling with their relationship with religion, although they&#8217;ve responded to it in very different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Lisbeth, joining the Lions offers the sense of belonging that she\u2019s lost. \u201cAfter losing her stable religious background, Lisbeth is craving community,\u201d Meszaros continued. \u201cAnya is at the center of that &#8211; the saint of the dance team. But I do think their friendship becomes genuine, even if it didn\u2019t start that way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given Anya confesses and Grace wakes up at the end of The Body, it will be interesting to see where their friendship goes if Netflix renews the show for season 2. It\u2019s still early days yet, but the cast and crew are certainly keen to return if it does.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest film and TV updates and hot takes,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FilmShrine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">like our Facebook page<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image credit: Netflix<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She toes the line between victim and villain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":11536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[12,15,474,11],"coauthors":[17],"class_list":["post-11534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-explained","tag-netflix","tag-now-showing","tag-the-body","tag-tv"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Did Lisbeth fake Grace&#039;s death in The Body?
