What happens at the end of Twisters (2024)?
At the end of Twisters (2024), Kate makes a risky move. She drives Tyler’s truck directly into the path of an approaching F5 tornado. Her goal is to deploy sodium polyacrylate from the barrels in the truck bed after launching rockets of silver iodine at the tornado. The mixture of the two elements would disrupt the tornado and allow it to collapse from within.
As the tornado overtakes her, the truck is violently tossed and spun around, but Kate manages to release the mixture into the storm. Miraculously, the experiment works, causing the tornado to dissipate, thereby preventing further destruction and saving the town, including Tyler, Javi, and others, who were seconds away from being sucked into the Tornado.
After successfully deploying the mixture, Kate emerges from the wreckage, bruised but triumphant. Tyler, Javi, and the rest of the storm-chasing team rush to aid her. Then towards the end, Kate bids farewell to both Javi and Tyler as she goes back to her job in New York. The film concludes with a scene at the airport where Tyler hesitates to let Kate return to New York.
But later during the mid-credits scene, we get the confirmation that Kate, Tyler, and Javi officially enter a partnership and form a new tornado research company. They plan to present their findings to secure funding and continue their work in mitigating tornadoes.
Do Kate and Tyler end up together?
No, Kate and Tyler do not end up together as a couple, but their chemistry is teased throughout the movie. It is implied that both Tyler and Kate have feelings for each other, but neither of them acts upon them. They do get close to making a move, but the audience is left waiting for their love angle to kick in, as the “will they, won’t they” scenario continues.
At the end of the film, Tyler chases after Kate at the airport as she is about to board a flight back to New York. Encouraged by her words, “If you feel it, chase it,” Tyler runs into the terminal. He finds her just as an announcement is made about a flight delay due to the storm. They share a moment of understanding and leave the airport together.
While that felt like the beginning of a romance between the two, they don’t share a kiss to confirm it for the viewers. However, their potential relationship is set up to be a thing in the next film in the franchise, as they do end up working together.
What happens to Scott in Twisters?
In Twisters, Scott is a part of the Storm Par team working with Javi. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Storm Par’s primary investor, Marshall Riggs, is using the collected data to exploit areas devastated by tornadoes for his own gain. This revelation causes tension between the characters.
During the third act chase, an F5 tornado wreaks havoc, endangering both the Storm Par and Wranglers teams. As the tornado heads towards El Reno, Scott insists on following Riggs’ orders to collect data. However, Javi refuses to abandon the townspeople, choosing to help them, and leaves Scott behind.
Javi leaves Scott in the literal dirt, prioritizing saving lives over following Riggs’ orders. While the film doesn’t detail Scott’s fate, his abandonment highlights Javi’s moral decision. Javi chooses to aid the citizens instead of succumbing to corporate greed. Meanwhile, it’s likely that Scott would have made it out of the film alive, as he was away from the dangers that the Tornado
