Melinda repeatedly tells Vic she loves him, though his inability to convincingly return the sentiment sends her astray – until she realizes that killing and threatening these men is his sick way of showing love. Melinda had spent Deep Water maintaining that Vic had no passion nor did he even love her, but his violent urges toward her lovers restores the spark in their marriage. This occurs after Trixie throws Melinda’s suitcase in the pool and tells her they’re not leaving, suggesting Ana de Armas’ character now sees that keeping her family together is more important. Since Trixie and Vic are much closer than Trixie and Ana de Armas' Melinda, it seems Deep Water’s young character even supports what Vic does, as she is just as fed up with Melinda’s affairs as Ben Affleck's character.Īlthough Melinda had tipped off Don about Vic having something to do with the disappearance of Tony, Deep Water’s ending sees her burn his licenses just moments later. At the end of Deep Water, Trixie throws Melinda’s packed suitcase into the pool and says they’re not leaving, suggesting Trixie really knows everything that’s going on but still wants her family to stay together. Vic says he didn’t, but Trixie maintains that she thinks he killed Charlie, though she’s simply upset that he won’t tell her how he killed him.

After Charlie dies and Vic is the main suspect, Trixie tells her dad that she thinks it was him who killed Melinda's lover. It’s established that she’s much more intelligent and mature than her age would suggest, with Deep Water’s scene with Trixie and Vic discussing Charlie’s death hinting that she knows much more about her parents’ marriage than they’ll let on. One of the most mysterious Deep Water characters is Trixie Van Allen, Vic and Melinda’s 6-year-old daughter. When Vic rides his bike in the direct path of Don’s car, Tracy Letts’ character swerves off the road, falling to his death as he drives off a cliff. After seeing Vic moving Tony’s body, Don drives in his car to tell the police, with Vic hopping on his bike to stop Don. Melinda calls Don, a new neighbor who suspects Ben Affleck’s Deep Water character of killing Charlie, whereafter Don confronts Vic at the gorge. After a pleasant picnic with Melinda and Trixie, Vic returns to the river to better hide the body of Tony, only for Melinda to simultaneously find Tony’s wallet inside a box of Vic’s snails. Although Melinda was sure that Vic had killed her lover Charlie ( Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi), she becomes more attracted to Vic and doesn’t immediately accuse him of involvement when she hasn’t heard from her latest paramour, Tony (Finn Wittrock). Deep Water ends with Vic and Melinda finally feeling more passionate in their marriage, albeit after he has killed two of her lovers in cold blood.
