Upload Season 3 comes to a chaotic close in Episode 8, and it's a wild rollercoaster of wins, heartbreaks, and one massive identity twist. So, what happens to Backup Nathan?
Let's just say things go downhill real fast for the clone. After all the plotting, court drama, and romantic detours, Backup Nathan tries to escape, but Horizen catches up and hard.
Now the question tearing everyone up is: which Nathan are we left with? The finale doesn't hand out answers easily.
The courtroom confusion in Upload Season 3 Episode 8 acts as an even bigger problem for Backup Nathan
The big face-off in Upload Season 3 hits with the courtroom taking center stage. Nora, Nathan, Aleesha, and the rest of the gang are focused on exposing Horizen's darkness. While the case technically scores a win, it's not the kind of victory anyone was expecting, really. A financial settlement is handed out to Freeyond victims, but the real prize upload rights, is swept under the rug.
While all this is unfolding, Backup Nathan is dealing with his own crisis. Ingrid, who initially throws cold water on his romantic proposal, rethinks everything when she realizes his feelings are real. But the timing couldn't be worse. As she's finding her footing, Backup Nathan is already in hiding, trying to dodge Horizen's plan to erase all illegal copies.
There's a bittersweet layer here: just as their connection strengthens, danger tightens its grip.
That moment in Upload Season 3 episode 8 hits harder because Ingrid finally says she's ready to marry him, but he's already being hunted down. That split-second delay between realization and action? It costs them everything.
Aleesha and Luke’s sneaky side mission gives the episode its unexpected heart
While the love triangle and legal drama drive the eight episodes of Upload Season 3, it's the hustle pulled off by Aleesha and Luke that really packs the episode with personality. Their secret operation to steal Karina's files is part rom-com, part heist movie, and somehow manages to feel personal and playful all at once.
From Aleesha faking an illness to Luke staging a solo performance worthy of an award, this subplot is hilarious but vital.
Tinsley, Front Desk Al, and Elevator Boy Al all chip in, turning Lakeview into the world's weirdest battleground. But it's Aleesha and Luke who carry the emotional payoff.
They're partners in chaos, sure, but that surprise kiss? It adds a whole new layer. Aleesha bolts afterward, shaken by the unexpected spark. Still, her stolen files later flip the courtroom battle on its head.
Even if the uploads don't win their rights back, Aleesha's move shifts the narrative. She's no longer just an employee playing by the rules, and she's now someone willing to risk it all. And that's what makes this episode more than just a plot wrap-up.
The final twist: a call, a tearful goodbye, and one unanswerable question
Just when things seem somewhat calm, Upload Season 3 throws in one last curveball that cuts deep. Betta, the newly rebranded face of Horizen, starts clearing out all duplicate uploads. Guards storm Lakeview. Everyone scrambles. Backup Nathan tries to flee to the Grey Zone, but he doesn't make it. He's caught.
There's radio silence for days until Nora and the others finally get a call. One Nathan is gone. The other is still out there. But the call doesn't solve anything. When Nora asks who it is, i.e., Original or Backup - there's no clear answer. It's a gut-punch of an ending, clever in its cruelty.
For all the progress made, the finale of Upload Season 3 reminds us that the Uploads are still living in a limbo. Their autonomy is very much conditional, and their futures are still being controlled by a company that can change its name but not its motives. And as for Nora, the loss of one Nathan just makes her question the one that's left behind.
Upload Season 3 ends with one Nathan being wiped from existence and the other leaving everyone confused. Episode 8 doesn't just wrap up a season; it leaves the future in limbo, making fans question everything they thought they knew.
The finale leans into peak uncertainty with heartbreak and just a little bit of hope to keep us wanting and coming back for more. Whether it's Original or Backup Nathan who lives, one thing's clear: the fight for freedom is far from being over.
