The Apple TV+ series Sunny had viewers captivated throughout its ten-episode run. While the high-tech homebots were a standout element, the real magic of the series lay in its exploration of AI and the potential consequences—both good and bad—of robots and humans coexisting. Episode 10 was an intense finale, packed with action and leaving us with plenty of unresolved questions. Let’s break down that wild ending and what it could mean for future seasons.
Is Sunny Safe?
In Episode 10, Sunny becomes the central figure everyone is after—not just because she’s a homebot, but because her recent code holds dangerous potential. The Yakuza, in particular, are after this code, which has been dubbed “the dark manual.” Sunny killed a Yakuza member while protecting Suzie, and whoever gets their hands on this code could use it to modify other robots, potentially leading to a robot uprising.

Fortunately, before Hime or the Yakuza can retrieve the code, Suzie, Zen, Hiromasa, Mixxy, and even Noriko band together to save Sunny. However, Sunny begins to fear that she is too dangerous and suggests a factory reset to erase the dangerous code. Suzie strongly disagrees, and Hiromasa offers an alternative: he knows someone who can remove the harmful code safely. Mixxy volunteers to take Sunny there, allowing Suzie and her family to reunite.
But here’s the shocking twist: Mixxy has been working with the Yakuza all along. In the final moments of the episode, it’s heavily implied that Mixxy plans to deliver Sunny—and her dangerous code—to the Yakuza. Mixxy’s suspicious behavior throughout the series suddenly makes sense, and her eagerness to be close to Suzie was all part of her hidden agenda.
Is Masa Alive?
Another big question mark revolves around Masa. The episode drops numerous hints suggesting that Masa is dead, but there are also subtle clues that he might still be alive. Near the end of the episode, we hear a voice-over from Masa, where he reads a letter addressed to Suzie. In it, he explains his actions and mentions that if Suzie is reading the letter, there might still be hope. This cryptic message leaves the door open for Masa’s return, potentially holding the key to saving Sunny.
Conclusion
The season finale of Sunny was both thrilling and full of unanswered questions. The twist with Mixxy working for the Yakuza, Masa’s uncertain fate, and Sunny’s dangerous code leave us wondering what could happen next. While the season offered some satisfying moments, it also set the stage for a potential second season. Were you surprised by the big twist, or did you see it coming? Let us know your thoughts!
