Do Annie and Lucien end up together in Cruel Intentions season 1?

If you were expecting Annie and Lucien to ride off together into the sunset at the end of season 1, you may be disappointed by how things unfolded. From the moment Annie encountered Lucien, she had certain assumptions about his character. She viewed him as a stereotypical rogue who captivates every female in sight. Despite her efforts to resist her feelings for him, she ultimately succumbs when he reveals a softer side of himself.

Initially, Lucien was meant to win over Annie and have her join Delta Phi, as per his agreement with Caroline. However, as he grew closer to Annie, genuine romantic feelings emerged in him, something new for him. Their first kiss happened when they were stuck in a stairwell of an assisted living facility on the night of Lucien’s birthday, and later, they shared their first intimate moment. But things took a turn for the strange after Caroline released Lucien’s private videos.

1) In the first season, Caroline interrupts before Lucien has a chance to apologize and clarify his actions. Instead, he deceives Annie by saying he never valued or cared for her, only using her as a means. Before leaving her, he cautions Annie that Caroline isn’t trustworthy. Later on, after receiving startling information, Annie attempts to contact Lucien, but he chooses not to answer her call.

Here are some more things that happened in the Cruel Intentions season 1 finale:

  • Blaise is forced to leave Alpha Gamma Zeta after the fraternity finds out that he was embezzling money. But what they don’t know is that he took with him the fraternity’s secret book, which consists of secrets that can incriminate them.
  • After Caroline sleeps with Professor Chadwick, she files a sexual misconduct complaint against him at the school, hoping to get rid of him. She doesn’t want CeCe to be with him, so she goes behind her back and does this. This just shows that Caroline is not a good person and a bad friend to CeCe.
  • Scott had finally come out to his conservative congressman father and even got his support to help cover up Blaise’s embezzlement issue, but after learning that Blaise was going to blackmail his father, he wanted nothing to do with him anymore.
  • To get revenge on Caroline for messing things up with Annie, Lucien sleeps with Caroline’s mother and then sends Caroline the sex tape he made. After receiving the video, Caroline immediately calls Lucien, but he doesn’t answer.
  • Annie happily pledges Delta Phi Pi but finds out some shocking news shortly after, making her question what type of person Caroline is. She finds out through CeCe that Caroline lied about losing her virginity to her tennis coach. She used CeCe’s story, and now Annie isn’t sure about Caroline anymore. She thinks Caroline is the person who filed the sexual misconduct complaint against Professor Chadwick, and she enlists Beatrice’s help to find out if it’s true.
  • CeCe isn’t too sure about Caroline anymore, either, after finding out she lied and used her story. She never actually confronts Caroline about it, though.
  • After getting his revenge on Caroline, Lucien hops into his one and only car, which he loves dearly, and drives away with a smile on his face. It’s unknown where he’s headed, but it’s obvious that he feels a little bit better about himself now that he’s got one up on Caroline.
