In a brutal twist, none of the original Squid Game contestants made it out alive, with Player 222's (Jun-hee) newborn emerging as the unexpected victor. Earlier episodes saw Player 222 go into labour while trying to stifle her screams during childbirth.

Squid Game Season 3 has come to an end with some of its characters from earlier plotlines getting the closure they deserve, with one of them being Kang Cheol.
