The Fate of the Morgan House in No Good Deed: Who Became the Owner?

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Netflix’s No Good Deed!

Overview of No Good Deed

No Good Deed revolves around the intricate dealings of three couples competing for the chance to purchase the Morgan home, a property steeped in mystery and secrets. While the series highlights the tense dynamics of the competitive real estate market, it also explores the hidden truths each character is grappling with. Central to the narrative is the tension between the current homeowners, Paula and Lydia Morgan (played by Ray Romano and Lisa Kudrow), who find it increasingly difficult to reach a consensus about the sale of their house in Los Feliz.

The Dark Past of the Morgan Home

From the outset, viewers learn that the Morgans are haunted by a tragic event that occurred three years earlier within the walls of their home. The residue of this incident adds a layer of complexity and urgency to their selling process, as they are no longer obligated to disclose the events surrounding the death. Thus, a quest for the truth unfolds, alongside the competition among various potential buyers: a celebrity couple, a lesbian couple eager to start a family, and a couple deeply entrenched in familial expectations.

Who Ultimately Purchased the Morgan Home?

Leslie and Sarah Prevail in the End

Despite their early stumbling when they were caught snooping around the property, Leslie and Sarah ultimately won the heart of the Morgans. Key to their success was Leslie’s investigative prowess; as a District Attorney, she sensed deceit from the Morgans regarding the circumstances of Jacob Morgan’s death.

Uncovering the Truth

Upon reviewing Jacob’s autopsy report, Leslie discovered crucial evidence: the weapon used in the murder was a. 40 caliber handgun, not the 9mm firearm owned by the Morgans. This revelation directed suspicion toward the Morgans’ celebrity neighbor, JD Cambell, indicating a web of infidelity and cover-up surrounding Jacob’s demise. By clarifying these dark secrets, Leslie inadvertently facilitated closure for the Morgan family, making it fitting that they would select her and Sarah as the new owners of their home.

The Competition: Dennis and Carla

The Downfall of Dennis and Carla’s Offer

All three couples initially had their offers accepted at varying points throughout the series. Notably, after the failure of JD and Margo’s bid—due to their financial woes—Dennis attempted to charm Paul with a heartfelt letter expressing his dreams of raising children in the Morgan home. Although Dennis and Carla’s offer was briefly accepted, things took a turn thanks to strategic interference by Sarah.

Sarah’s Strategic Move

In a twist of fate, Sarah happened to be the OBGYN for Carla during her labor. Recognizing them as potential buyers, she tactfully informed them of the house’s grim past. Once they learned about the murder, Dennis and Carla withdrew their offer after encountering numerous conspiracy theories regarding the Morgans on the Citizen app, leading to them stepping back from the competition entirely.

New Beginnings for Dennis and Carla

A Happy Conclusion Amidst Chaos

What really happened to Jacob in No Good Deed

Despite being edged out of the bidding for the Morgan house, Dennis and Carla found their own path to happiness. After JD Campbell’s shocking realization regarding his wife Margo, he set fire to his own mansion with her inside. Margo survived the incident, leaving behind vacant land ideal for Carla, who had always dreamt of designing and constructing her own home.

Using a $5 million check secretly gifted by Carla’s father, Dennis was able to secure the land and begin their family project. Meanwhile, Margo faced a prison sentence, and JD’s fortunes likely improved after parting ways with his volatile spouse. Leslie and Sarah eventually settled into the Morgan house, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their child. Ultimately, the series wraps up with all characters receiving resolutions that feel fitting—whether joyous or tumultuous.
