'Nine Lives of Chloe King: Salvation': Did Chloe choose Brian or Alek?
By Sydney Bucksbaum

Although the former ABC Family series, "The Nine Lives of Chloe King,"
was canceled after a brief 10-episode season, the network and Alloy
Entertainment gave fans a chance to get closure by releasing the
script for the two-hour movie, "The Nine Lives of Chloe King:
Salvation," online.

The series' conclusion was posted on Alloy Entertainment's official
site on Friday (Sept. 13), and wrapped up all the loose ends the
season-turned-series finale left dangling. Fans finally got their
burning questions answered, the main of which was who Chloe chose to
be with: her fellow Mai Alek, or human Brian?

Spoilers ahead for those who haven't yet read the script (Why haven't
you read it yet? Get on it, ASAP!) ...

Chloe chose Alek! Though she always had feelings for Brian, they
weren't as strong as her feelings for her fellow Mai, the guy who has
protected her ever since she found out she was the Uniter, the
sarcastic, brooding, super attractive Alek.

But that didn't happen until the very last page. What else went down
in "The Nine Lives of Chloe King: Salvation?"

The end of the curse?

It turned out there was a way to end the curse that made a Mai kiss
fatal for humans. There was an ancient Mai prophecy, "When the Uniter
loves the offspring of her enemy, the curse will be broken."
So why didn't the curse break when Chloe kissed Brian, and why didn't
Brian die from the kiss?

The curse didn't break with Brian's kiss, because Chloe never loved
him. Sure, she had feelings for him and told her mom she thought she
might love him, but she never actually said she loved him. Even at the
end of the movie script, when Brian said goodbye as he left to go back
to college, he asked her why she never said "I love you" back to him,
and that's because she never did love him.

As for why Brian survived her kiss, it turned out that he came from a
line of saviors, the last of the pure (the direct descendents of the
Mai's original enemy, sworn to destroy them and unaffected by the
curse). The only reason the kiss affected him at all was because she
is the Uniter, and thus, stronger than a regular Mai. Brian was only
sent into a brief coma, and woke up hours later feeling totally
healthy.

Alek's mysterious background revealed

Now, when Chloe chose Alek at the end of the script, there is one
question still left open: did the curse break? You see, it turns out
that Alek is half human -- his mother was a Mai and his father was one
of the pure, in the Order ... a.k.a. the husband of Brian's grandma
and his Mai mistress. Yeah, that's right: Alek is actually Brian's
uncle! Meaning that Alek is the offspring of Chloe's enemy, and they
love each other, so ... the curse has be broken now, right?
Unfortunately, we'll never know.

The real villain

Remember the assassin Simone, who shot Chloe in the series finale? She
was actually working for Brian's grandmother, who turned out to be the
one in charge of the Order. She had Whitley's wife/Brian's mother
murdered, and framed it to look like a Mai killed her so Whitley would
come back to the Order. When he didn't, she killed him the same way --
her own son! -- and framed it to look like a Mai killed him so Brian
would seek vengeance on the entire race and Chloe. How did Brian even
know the truth about the Mai? After he woke up from his coma, Whitley
told him everything, hoping to turn him against Chloe.

Brian agreed to work with his grandma after believing the Mai killed
his father, so he set up Chloe. After her mother, Meredith, was
kidnapped by the Order, Brian lied to Chloe about her mother's
location when in actuality he and Olivia were there to capture Chloe.
But Brian had a change of heart when he became privy to his grandma's
true plan: to suck out every single one of Chloe's remaining lives via
an ancient chalice, and dump it out, thereby exterminating both Chloe
and the entire Mai race since the Uniter holds the Mai essence in her
lives.

A fight breaks out as Brian helps Chloe escape, torches are knocked
over, and in the ensuing flames, Brian's grandmother dies. Alek kills
Simone to save Jasmine and Chloe, and the rest of the remaining Mai in
the city help Brian, Chloe's mom, Amy, and Paul get to safety.
Jasmine and Zane

You'll notice that Jasmine was in the final fight, meaning she
survived Zane's assassination attempt.

It turned out that Valentina used a Mai power to give her own life to
heal Jasmine. After Valentina's funeral, Jasmine vowed to get revenge
on Zane, and was able to when Zane attacked Chloe in her room. Jasmine
stabbed Zane, killing him, and was able to finally mourn her mother.
Jasmine assumed the role her mother held, and became the leader of the
Mai.

And with that, "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" finally came to an end.
All our burning questions were answered, except whether or not the
curse was finally broken. But some things are better left to the
imagination, don't you think?
