To understand the symbolic meaning behind Priest Jud's final action, it's important to understand Eve's apple lore, as narrated by Martha in her final confession. While Martha initially revealed that Prentice, Wick's grandfather, died while having his final communion, it was not true. Prentice died after swallowing the Eve's Apple jewel, literally taking his fortune to his grave and not leaving a single penny for his daughter, Grace.This was a well-kept secret, buried deep within Martha's heart for many years in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, until Jud challenged her to confess with Wicks, outing the jewel's location to the corrupt priest. While Martha initially trusted Wicks' abilities as a Holy man, she discovered his evil motives. Wicks planned to open his family crypt to steal the diamond and out his flock's deepest secrets to the world. However, since Martha did not want Prentice's fortune to end up in the wrong hands, she planned Wicks' murder with Dr. Nat, with an added resurrection on Easter Sunday, with Samson's help.As Martha revealed in the Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery climax, everything went according to her plan, until Jud showed up at the crypt and Dr. Nat was tempted to kill Sam and keep the jewel for himself. Eve's Apple worked its temptation once again and Dr. Nat planned on killing Martha next. However, as the ever experienced woman, she swapped her poisonous coffee with Nat's, sending him to his death and retrieving the Eve's Apple jewel for herself.Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery- The Eve's apple jewel went to its rightful place in the end View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAfter all was said and done, Martha took her final breath in Jud's arms, finally revealing the Eve's Apple jewel that was in her hand all along. Now that Wicks and Dr. Nat were dead, nobody knew the truth about the jewel except Blanc and Jud. While Cy wanted to uncover the jewel's location, Jud played pretend and instead advised him to visit the Church someday, saying:''Your real inheritance is in Christ.''This line served as a cheeky reveal of the jewel's final location, which was hidden in the crucifix on a new wooden cross built by Jud for his Church. In an interview with Netflix Tudum, actor Daryl McCormack (who plays Cy in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery) shares the symbolism behind the final reveal:“I thought the symbolism of this jewel being hidden in the heart of this crucifix was really amazing.''Since Eve's Apple jewel was the centre of corruption in the film and the harbinger of chaos and temptation, it was quite befitting that it was hidden in the crucifix in the movie's ending. Not only did Prentice's fortune reach its rightful place but Jud also salvaged Martha, who only wanted to save the Church and keep the jewel out of corrupt hands.Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is streaming on Netflix.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
