Spoilers for âThe Standâ finale
In episode 8 of CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen Kingâs âThe Standâ, Larry (Jovan Adepo), Ray (Irene Bedard), and Glen (Greg Kinnear) are subjected to an unruly kangaroo court. The trial that is broadcast all over Vegas sees Glen try to appeal to Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff) and all those watching that they may still have a chance to redeem themselves from their evil ways. As Glenâs words begin to have an effect on the people, Lloyd shoots and kills him.
Following the trial, Nadine Cross (Amber Heard) meets with a captive Larry alone. Last we saw her, Nadine was very pregnant, and reduced to a frail pale demeanor because of Flaggâs seed. When Larry forces Nadine to see her reflection the shock induces labor. But as Nadine realizes what she has become and how unholy their child would be, she flings herself from the penthouse, killing both her and the child.

Following the trial, Nadine Cross (Amber Heard) meets with a captive Larry alone. Last we saw her, Nadine was very pregnant, and reduced to a frail pale demeanor because of Flagg’s seed. When Larry forces Nadine to see her reflection the shock induces labor. But as Nadine realizes what she has become and how unholy their child would be, she flings herself from the penthouse, killing both her and the child. This again is slightly different from what happens in the book where, in her final moments, Nadine prophetically tells Flagg that four men from Boulder would come and destroy him. Flagg subsequently loses his temper and hurls her from the penthouse balcony, killing her.
