[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the A Gentleman in Moscow finale.] A Gentleman in Moscow ‘s series finale honored its source material with an ambiguous ending. The episode, which aired on Sunday, May 19 on Showtime , revealed what happened after Count Alexander Rostov ( Ewan McGregor ), Anna ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead ), Sofia ( Beau Gadsdon ), and the rest of their friends at the Hotel Metropol launched their plan to get Sofia out of Russia.

This also led to Rostov walking out of the hotel’s front doors — an act that’s been paired with the threat of death for decades as he carried out his house arrest in the high-end hotel. After much planning, Sofia’s school trip became the catalyst for her escape in Season 1 Episode 8, “Adieu.” While some roadblocks set her back and threatened her safe departure, the plan worked out in the end.



The signal — every phone in the Metropol lobby going off in quick succession — was delivered and the Count knew his daughter was safe. (Sofia was the daughter of Nina, Alexander’s niece-like companion who grew up at the Metropol. The count took Sofia in as his own after Nina’s presumed death, and Anna became her de facto mother.

) Sofia’s journey out of Moscow is the only one we see onscreen. Count Rostov, Anna, and Mishka’s ( Fehinti Balogun ) journeys after leaving the hotel for the last time were not shown. And like in Amor Towles ‘ best-selling book of the same name, we never find out what really hap.
