Here is a quick Finding Her Edge finale recap


Adriana is at a life-altering turning point in Finding Her Edge finale

From the start of Finding Her Edge, Adriana faces the relentless pressures of her skating aspirations, all the while dealing with her complex romantic dynamics. The Russos are royalty in the world of figure skating, but there is a lot of pressure that comes with the name, including financial troubles that her father is currently under.

The Russo family is under immense burden, especially Elise (played by Alexandra Beaton), who passes the torch to Adriana to carry the dream forward. Brayden is known as the quintessential bad boy in the figure skating world, but that did not matter to Adriana. Her dream was to make it to the World Championships, and she was ready to do whatever it takes, even fake chemistry, to strike gold.

In Finding Her Edge, during World Championship qualifications, the judges give them low scores after learning of the video of Adriana and Brayden making out the previous night. But luck is on their side as they manage to make it through to the Championship to be held in Paris. Adriana comes up with her own routine, which brings them much praise and even helps them win the coveted prize.

Adriana’s appearance in the competition, however, gets complicated when she finds herself in the same room as Freddie. The two were once partners, and there are still lingering feelings between them. Adriana wants to win the competition and pretends to be romantically involved with Brayden. But for Brayden, it was real, and he was, in fact, deeply in love with her.

Freddie has partnered with Riley (played by Millie Davis), who has feelings for him. When Adriana comes back into the picture, things between her and Freddie heat up. Adriana realizes that she still likes Freddie, with whom she used to skate when they were younger. The two are caught in a dilemma, as they cannot let go of their current partners, yet they are eager to skate together like before.

In Finding Her Edge, Freddie has his own issues involving his mother. There is even a moment in the series where Adriana saves Freddie in the nick of time but gets injured herself. It is also the moment that Freddie realizes that he still has feelings for her.


Finding Her Edge ending explained

As the curtains close on Finding Her Edge, Adriana is left with a choice. Even though she and Brayden win the World Championship in Paris, things turn sour between them. Brayden realizes that her feelings for him were fake, unlike his own. This greatly disappoints him, and he leaves her.

Adriana is left wondering if she can go on skating with Brayden while continuing to see Freddie. Even though she has a difficult moment with both leaving her side, they eventually decide to let things go.

Even the other Russo siblings find their place in the skating world. Elise is back to prove herself without the pressures of being a Russo, while Maria (played by Alice Malakhov) finally embraces her dream of being just a regular person wanting to live a normal life. Will Russo sells the skating rink in order to keep their family house. The series leaves the audience with the surprising reveal that Riley is Brayden’s new partner.
