Lifetime’s latest twisted family saga has come to a close. Part 4 of V.C. Andrews’ Dawn aired on July 29, it didn’t hold back when it came to campy, over-the-drop drama we’ve come to expect from the network’s adaptations of the V.C. Andrews’ gothic novels. The final installment of this limited series featured a tragic fire, a grab-bag of creepy and vindictive relatives, and a high-stakes game of keep-away with a baby doll. Let’s break down how things ended for the cursed Cutler family in Midnight Whipsters.

Well, the Dawn Saga has concluded with Midnight Whispers, and boy, was it a ride.
We went full circle from Longchamp to Cutler to Longchamp all over again, as Christie may have officially freed herself from the curse of that blasted Cutler family and found something akin to happiness.
But, of course, happiness always comes at a cost, and it was major.
Is it possible to live happily ever after in the V.C. Andrews Universe? It doesn't seem like it.
And this final installment was a perfect reminder as it was riddled with darkness and death, including of our treasured Dawn and her beloved Jimmy.
Obviously, this series isn't a stranger to dark themes. It practically relishes them at every conceivable turn, frequently gearing toward the melodramatic.
But off, this was a dark one, as we learned bits and pieces about the family's past, and we had to watch...
