Netflix’s latest buzz-worthy Nordic thriller, The Glass Dome, ends its first season with a chilling twist, revealing Valter, an ex-cop and close friend, as the abductor behind a string of child kidnappings.

Adapted from Camilla Läckberg's story, The Glass Dome follows Lejla, played by Léonie Vincent, as she returns to her hometown, Granas, only to uncover grim truths tied to her own childhood.

While investigating the abduction of a young girl named Alicia, Lejla begins to recall her own memories of being kidnapped. She teams up with Valter, the man she once believed had rescued her, only to later discover he was actually her abductor and the perpetrator behind multiple disappearances, including Alicia's.

The season finale reveals that Valter, using his law enforcement expertise, had been abducting young girls for years, keeping them imprisoned in a glass box. His motives are rooted in a traumatic past: an abusive father, a complicit mother, and a deeply scarred childhood shared with his brother, Tomas.

When Lejla finally uncovers the truth, she confronts Valter. In a harrowing scene, she is once again sealed inside the glass box with Alicia, forced to relive her past trauma. Valter’s sadistic need for control begins to unravel. Witnessing his brother's true nature, Tomas chooses justice over vengeance and apprehends Valter in a tense showdown.
