What is the plot?

Shane Maguire stalks Kyle Turner through the woods after Turner has already been wounded, and Turner keeps moving while trying to stop the bleeding and stay conscious as he uses the terrain for cover. Maguire closes in on him with his rifle, treating the hunt as the final step in erasing Turner from the investigation.

Back at the same time, Jill Bodwin goes home and finally tells her husband the full truth about Caleb's death and everything that followed. She explains that Sean Sanderson was the man who abducted and killed Caleb, that Turner had found the proof and wanted to build a legal case against him, and that she betrayed Turner by secretly paying Maguire to blackmail and kill Sanderson instead of letting the case go through the courts.

Turner and Maguire's pursuit continues through the forest, with Turner stumbling, dragging himself onward, and trying to survive long enough to escape the trap. Maguire keeps pressing forward, and the chase becomes a pure life-or-death confrontation as Turner, badly hurt and running out of strength, can no longer outpace him.

Just as Maguire is about to finish Turner off, Vasquez arrives and shoots Maguire dead, stopping the killing at the last possible moment. Turner collapses from exhaustion and blood loss, and he is taken to the hospital, where he survives and begins recovering.

While Turner is recovering, Jill comes to him in the hospital, and the two finally face what happened to Caleb and to their marriage. They hold each other and reconcile emotionally, acknowledging the damage, the guilt, and the grief that has defined them since Caleb's death, and they promise to keep themselves alive.

After that, Avalos pressures Turner again about the case, and Turner agrees to say that he was of unsound mind during Sanderson's investigation so Avalos can pursue a wrongful-death suit against the park. Turner makes this concession even though it complicates his own position, because it helps move the case toward some form of accountability.

Despite Maguire's death and Souter's resistance, Turner keeps digging into Lucy's disappearance and travels to Nevada to investigate the foster home she had been placed in. There he learns from the foster mother's daughter that Lucy had been dropped off there around the time she disappeared, and that Lucy had told them her father was a cop.

Turner then meets Souter in the park and lays out what he has learned, including the fact that he had rechecked Lucy's DNA after discovering that Souter had interfered with the original results. Faced with this evidence, Souter is forced to admit that he was Lucy's father and that, when she resurfaced, she demanded money from him.

Souter says that Lucy eventually abducted his granddaughter, which pushed him into chasing her with a rifle. During that pursuit, he accidentally shot Lucy, and that gunshot set in motion the events that led to her death. Turner demands that Souter take responsibility for what he did, but Souter refuses to face it and instead kills himself.

After Souter's death, Turner gives Vasquez his horse, signaling that he is leaving that part of his life behind. He then decides to part ways with the park for good, ending the investigation and walking away from the place and the case that have consumed him.

What is the ending?

Short version: Turner survives the finale, Jill confesses the truth about Caleb's case and the betrayal that broke their marriage, and Souter is forced to face the truth about Lucy before he kills himself. Turner then decides to leave the park behind and moves on, carrying Caleb with him in memory rather than in self-destruction.

Turner is still wounded when the ending begins, and Maguire is closing in on him in the woods. Turner has run out of bullets, and the chase becomes a direct confrontation as Maguire presses him over the deal that was supposed to protect Jill. Just as Maguire is about to finish him, Vasquez arrives and shoots Maguire dead. Turner survives the attack, though he is badly hurt and needs hospitalization.

While Turner recovers, Jill comes back into his life and finally tells him the truth about Caleb's death. She explains that Sanderson was the man who abducted and killed Caleb six years earlier, and that Turner had wanted to pursue the case through the legal system. Jill admits that she went behind his back, paid Maguire to kill Sanderson, and kept that choice hidden from Turner; she says that betrayal, more than Caleb's death itself, destroyed their marriage. The two of them speak openly in the hospital, and they embrace and reconcile.

Turner also deals with the official fallout from the case, and he agrees to tell Avalos that he was of unsound mind during Sanderson's investigation so that Avalos can pursue a wrongful-death suit against the park. Even after Maguire's death and Souter's objections, Turner keeps pushing the case forward and travels to Nevada to investigate the foster home connected to Lucy. There, the missing pieces of Lucy's identity force Souter to confess that he was Lucy's father. He admits that when Lucy resurfaced, she demanded money from him and later abducted his granddaughter, and he says he chased Lucy with a rifle and accidentally shot her, setting the final chain of events in motion.

Turner demands that Souter accept responsibility, but Souter refuses to keep carrying the truth and kills himself. After that, Turner makes his final break from the park: he leaves Vasquez his horse and decides to walk away from Yosemite for good. The ending also shows Turner finally refusing to end his own life; instead of going to the water as he has done before, he tells Caleb's memory that he is not ready, accepts the grief, and chooses to live.

Is there a post-credit scene?

No. Available episode recaps and the transcript describe the finale ending with Turner leaving Yosemite, giving Vasquez his horse, and the credits rolling after that scene; none of the sources mention any post-credit scene.

The final moments are emotionally focused on closure rather than an extra tag: Turner says goodbye to Caleb's presence, leaves his cabin behind, and departs the park in a state of uneasy peace.
