The Four Seasons Ending Explained: Who Is The Father Of Ginny’s Baby?

Netflix’s THE FOUR SEASONS ends with an emotional twist that reshapes everything the audience has witnessed about Nick (Steve Carell), his life, and his relationships — especially with Ginny (Erika Henningsen), the much younger woman he left his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) for. The final two episodes in the “Winter” segment wrap up the journey of three longtime couples and leave us with one final, powerful reveal: Ginny is pregnant, and the likely father is Nick.

Throughout the series, the relationships between the three couples — Katherine (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), and Nick and Anne — go through different stages of tension, revelation, and repair. However, Nick’s sudden death in a car accident stops the usual chaos on vacation. After a heated argument with Ginny, Nick’s sudden death shocks everyone in the group of friends. What comes next, like how they remember Nick and what Ginny is going through by herself, is what the aftermath is all about.

It’s not clear why Ginny is at the funeral. Anne plans the service herself, which puts Ginny in the background and shows that she is still angry with her. Under the surface, the tension between the two women builds until Anne finally admits that she planned the funeral herself as a way to end things or maybe get back at her friend. That’s not the end of the story, though.

Nick’s Death In The Four Seasons Explained

In a key emotional scene after the funeral, Anne and Ginny sit down and talk honestly for the first time. Anne recognizes that despite her history with Nick, Ginny meant something real to him. She even acknowledges that the happiness in Nick’s later photos — taken with Ginny — is something she hadn’t seen in a long time. That’s when Anne delivers the final twist: Ginny is pregnant. And although no paternity test is shown, it’s heavily implied that Nick is the father.

This news hurts a lot, especially since Nick died. Ginny goes from being an outsider in the group to being permanently a part of their lives. It’s a sad truth for Anne, but it’s also a step toward understanding why her ex-husband made the choices he did.

The main idea of the show is that life and relationships are always changing, and this twist gives it a whole new touch. Everyone in the group was shocked when Nick decided to leave Anne, but it also made them face their own trouble. Like Jack and Katherine, who are having a hard time with their marriage—they do something serious about it. The chaos also helps Danny and Claude learn more about each other and themselves. What seemed like a messy—breakup ends up being the start of something new: a child who marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

Nick may be gone, but Ginny’s pregnancy ensures that a part of him lives on — a future neither he nor the group expected, but one that adds a hopeful note to an otherwise tragic ending.
