What happens at the end of On My Block?
Netflix's Freeridge-set teen drama wrapped up on 4 October 2021 after four seasons and 38 episodes, closing the book on Monse, Cesar, Ruby, and Jamal with a finale titled — fittingly — "The Final Chapter". Here's how it all shakes out. Spoilers, obviously.
The season 4 setup
The final season opens two years after season 3, with the core four scattered and barely speaking. Cuchillos' body has been found, the police pull them in for questioning, and they talk their way out with a story too ridiculous to be invented.
The bigger blow lands mid-season: Oscar "Spooky" Diaz — reformed, out of the Santos, expecting a second child — is gunned down and dies in his brother Cesar's arms. His death pushes Cesar to leave gang life for good. Abuelita, the show's beating heart, also dies before the finale.
How it ends for everyone
- Monse — after reading her late mother's unfinished novel, she decides to take a year off after high school to write a memoir of the group's wild adventures.
- Cesar — graduates, leaves Vero, and tells Monse he sees a future with her. They don't get together on screen — but the door is wide open.
- Ruby and Jasmine — reunited, and Ruby is crowned prom king before pulling Jasmine up for the winner's dance.
- Jamal — solves one last mystery: the cars following him were Chivo's doing, because the gnome Juanita "wanted" to be with him. Classic Jamal.
The final scene
At a backyard celebration, the group toasts Oscar and Abuelita — and then Ruby opens an envelope Abuelita left behind. Inside: another hand-drawn map, just like the RollerWorld one that kicked everything off in season 1. The friends immediately start bickering over who leads the next hunt, and the book literally closes on them.
Is that really the end?
For these characters, yes — but not for the neighbourhood. Netflix launched a spin-off, Freeridge, in February 2023, following a new core four in the same town. It lasted one season.
