My Life with the Walter Boys season 3 ending explained: Is George alive, are Jackie and Cole together, shock episode 10 final twist and season 4 predictions | Daily Reports Online
Spoilers for My Life With the Walter Boys season 3 ahead.
Based on the way that season 2 was left, I knew that My Life With the Walter Boys season 3 was going to be a wild ride — but I still didn’t see that ending coming.
The Netflix drama picks up as George (Marc Blucas) survives his season 2 health emergency and recovers at home, with Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez) and Cole (Noah LaLonde) seemingly on the road to a proper romantic relationship.
But just before season 3 draws to a close, their happy ever after once again comes dramatically crashing down. Cole suddenly breaks up with Jackie after telling her that he loves her, and moves in with friend Dylan (Kolton Stewart).

With Jackie left reeling, she throws all her efforts into getting the local community space up and running. But when that runs into trouble, can she really scrub Cole from her mind?
I know the answer to that as well as you do. Here’s the full My Life With the Walter Boys season 3 ending explained, and what it will likely mean for the already confirmed season 4.
Dylan kicks Cole out for street racing — and takes back the car
As season 3 episode 10 kicks off, Cole is in his full moody boy era. Drag racer Mac (Chad Rook) finds Cole street racing after being tipped off by Dylan, scolding him for taking to the streets rather than being out of the track after Mac hired him.
Mac tells Cole about an upcoming race that has a big cash prize that he’d “easily win,” but Cole rejects the offer. As Mac leaves, Dylan admits that he was the one who told him where to find Cole.
In fact, Dylan is so furious with Cole’s street racing antics that he takes back “Myrtle,” the car Cole has been racing in. As Dylan is technically the owner, Cole has no sway — and Dylan’s conditions are that he can only use it for legitimate drag racing.
On top of that, Dylan kicks him out of the house, forcing his move back home. “You can’t keep hiding from Jackie forever,” he tells Cole.
If Cole moving back home wasn’t enough for Jackie to deal with, she soon runs into a huge problem with her community space launch party. While renovations take place, one of the builders is unable to prevent a pipe leak from one of the radiators, causing the first floor to flood so much that it caves in.
At this point, it seems as if the launch party, which is now only a week away, will have to be called off. The builder estimates that it will take between 4-6 weeks to have the leak and its damage fixed, with manpower on the ground incredibly limited.
Jackie is bereft, with the news of Grace’s (Ellie O’Brien) parents divorcing only making her feel more guilty. Cole tries to offer to help, but is immediately shut down by Jackie: she’s going to make sure the launch party goes ahead, and she’ll achieve it by herself.
Cole secretly saves the day — but Eliot’s already made his move
What Jackie doesn’t know is that Cole goes to see her uncle Richard (Alex Quijano) to ask for help. Cole tells Richard that he listened to what he said and broke up with Jackie in order for her to have a better future without him “dragging her down.”
Cole explains that he’s here to ask for Richard’s help fixing the community center, but doesn’t take the credit for it when Jackie finds out. Grace leads her into the room full of helpers clearing up, which includes the rest of the Walter family.
Alex (Ashby Gentry) encourages Cole to tell Jackie that he’s here, but Cole refuses. He knows that Jackie is getting closer to Eliot (Naveen Paddock), who begins to make his romantic feelings for Jackie much clearer.
At first, Jackie shuts Eliot down, but the more she realizes the lengths he’s willing to go to for her — which includes getting a flight from London to join her on her trip to Greece — the more she opens up to him.
Will and Nathan prepare to leave home while Danny gets the college news he’s been waiting for
We already knew that Will (Johnny Link) was going to be flying the nest, but season 3 confirms that Nathan (Corey Fogelmanis) will be too. He’s auditioned to play with a band across Europe and has got the spot, with George and Katherine (Sarah Rafferty) encouraging him to go.
However, he’s got reservations. He doesn’t want to be yet another Walter kid leaving everyone else behind, especially after how ill George has been. Alex says that it’s a no-brainer decision to take the opportunity… everyone wants him to. Skylar (Jaylan Evans) is devastated, but promises to stay in contact.
We also find out that Danny (Connor Stanhope) has been accepted into Carnegie Mellon University, after being rejected from Juilliard. Girlfriend Erin (Alisha Newton) doesn’t seem phased by the fact that the pair will need to be long-distance, but it’s clearly bothering Danny.
Alex admits his feelings for Kiley, but gets shut down
Alex finally has a chance to talk to Kiley (Mya Lowe) at school after the pair kissed. Kiley has been ignoring all of Alex’s calls and messages, despite having a school project that they need to complete together.
She finally agrees to talk in private while at school, and the pair agree to put the kiss behind them and move on as if nothing has happened. However, it’s clear that both of them have feelings for each other, which is something Cole picks up on when Alex admits to him what happened.
Cole also shares what Richard and Eliot have told him about being with Jackie, revealing that Eliot agrees that Jackie is too good to be with somebody like Cole. Alex tells him to ignore them both and pursue the feelings that are clearly still there.
At the community space launch party (which is 1920s themed), Alex tells Jackie that Cole was behind the drive to get the space fixed after the leak. Jackie tells him that she doesn’t want to hear the reason why, but spirals about Cole’s intentions as the party continues.
Meanwhile, Kiley spots Alex across the room and chooses to leave, whispering something to Dylan before she goes. She’s clearly uncomfortable, but Dylan takes it upon himself to speak to Alex on her behalf. He tells Alex to give Kiley some space for a while, even though the two of them clearly have a lot in common.
Alex ignores this and leaves the party instead to check on how Kiley is. However, Dylan is also with her, shutting the door in his face while Kiley looks sheepishly on.
Cole’s road crash leaves his life hanging in the balance
Cole enters the drag race that Mac recommends and wins a place in the final. While waiting, he tells Katherine and George that he doesn’t feel good enough to be Jackie’s partner, and doesn’t want to show his face at the party because of that.
The pair convinces him that he’s more than worth it, and that he should tell Jackie the truth and leave it up to her to make her own decisions. Instead of racing in the final, Cole leaves the track and heads for the party.
We see him driving the empty roads to get back to town, with another car suddenly approaching behind him. The car attempts to bump the back of Cole’s car, with Cole swerving in order to avoid the other car’s manoeuvres.
When the mysterious car pulls up to the side of Cole’s, we see that the driver is the drag racing contestant that Cole left behind in the final. He’s clearly annoyed that the race has been cancelled, and is looking to take his revenge. Finally, the two cars clip, flipping Cole’s car into a nearby field, where it continues to roll.
At the same time, Jackie and Eliot are on the dance floor at the party, about to lean in for their first kiss… and then the episode comes to an end.
Season 4 predictions
Obviously, the first thing we need to find out in season 4 is whether Cole is hurt. His car is flipped enough times for there to be some serious damage, but it’s difficult to tell what that is in the season 3 cliffhanger.
Then, of course, there’s the question of whether Jackie actually follows through with her kiss with Eliot. I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that she’ll pull away at the last second… but perhaps that’s wishful thinking. It’s certainly a moment that her future relationship with Cole could hinge on, if he pulls through.
Kiley will hopefully break up with Dylan and finally see that she should have been with Alex all along, but this isn’t something that Dylan is likely to take quietly. Expect more overt tension between him and Alex, put it that way.
What is more difficult to tell is whether we’ll see how Will and Nathan get on after they fly the nest, but the remaining Walter kids prepping for university is likely to feature heavily.
