Summary
- Robert was shot at the explosive Beach Ball, leaving his fate uncertain for Palm Royale season 2.
- Linda's dark past and accidental shooting of Robert could finally land her in prison in Palm Royale.
- Robert turned down Norma's proposal after discovering her true identity.
Palm Royale season 1 has been building up to an explosive ending at the 50th Annual Beach Ball that quickly turned tragic with more accidental gunfire and other shocking reveals. After nine episodes of planning, the Palm Royale characters gathered at the Dellacorte mansion for Norma’s Beach Ball co-hosted by Maxine and Evelyn in her honor. With Norma’s plan for the Palm Royale finale, it was clear the event wouldn’t run smoothly, but numerous plot twists led to her plan failing. The Beach Ball is everything Maxine was working towards in Palm Royale, but it was always destined for disaster.
Maxine moved to Palm Beach, Florida with her husband, Douglas Dellacorte Simmons, when his wealthy aunt Norma fell into a coma at the beginning of Palm Royale. As Norma's only living relatives, Maxine and Douglas assumed they’d inherit the Dellacorte fortune when she passed. However, not only did Norma survive her embolism and make a strong recovery, but she never intended to give the money to them. In Palm Beach high society, money is everything, and without the Dellacorte fortune, Maxine would never be able to make it into the exclusive group as she’d been so determined to do.
Does Robert Die In The Palm Royale Finale?
Robert Was Shot In The Palm Royale Finale
The final few minutes of Palm Royale season 1 were filled with chaos that had been foreshadowed in previous episodes. Douglas and Linda’s past was revealed in Palm Royale episode 5 and marked a turning point in the series, causing it to take a much darker turn for the remaining half of season 1. On Douglas and Linda’s wedding day, consumed with jealousy and paranoia from being gaslit by her fiancé, Linda accidentally shot her father when trying to murder Douglas. Twenty years later, an accidental shooting occurred at the Beach Ball with Mary, Linda, Robert, and President Nixon.
After Maxine managed to get the president to attend the Beach Ball, Mary came up with a plot to assassinate Nixon in the Palm Royale finale. She almost succeeded, having locked up Linda, the only person aware of her plan, and sneaking a gun into the Dellacorte mansion. Fortunately, Linda arrived just in time to save the president. Unfortunately, when she misdirected the gun, the bullet hit Robert instead. The Palm Royale season 1 finale ended before Robert’s fate could be confirmed, but it will be the biggest question going into season 2 if the Apple TV+ series is renewed.

Could Linda Go To Prison In Palm Royale?
Linda Could Finally Have To Pay For Her Crimes
Linda has evaded arrest multiple times in Palm Royale due to her money and connections, but the accidental shooting of Robert could be the thing that finally lands in her prison. When Linda accidentally shot her father on her wedding day, Norma covered for her, getting everyone present to stay silent about her crime. Though it was an open secret in Palm Beach, Linda never faced any punishment for what she’d done and spent her life living with the guilt of injuring her father.
When Linda’s father died, his widow, Evelyn, threatened to expose Linda, as there’s no statute of limitations on murder. While nothing happened there, Linda was then narrowly arrested when police raided her feminist group for conspiracy to assassinate the president. At the end of the Palm Royale finale, Linda was seen holding the gun Mary had used to try and assassinate the president. Though Linda had been trying to save the president, her past with her father and the feminist group could easily be used against her in Palm Royale season 2.
