Because the protagonist and his wife Mia are infected with the fungus, their baby is a human hybrid with the life form. After learning this, Miranda realizes that Rose is the perfect vessel to bring her dead daughter back to life in. This is why she disguises herself as Mia and steals Ethan’s child so that she can perform the ritual and bring back her own offspring.

This explains why the village has Lycans and other monsters as she used the villagers as subjects to run her experiments on. Even the Four Houses – Lady Dimitrescu, Karl Heisenberg, Salvatore Moreau, and Donna Beneviento – were once Miranda’s experiments, although none of them were strong enough to be a vessel.

The antagonist created the life form in collaboration with a group called “The Connection” which is the same shadowy organization that Mia Winters worked for. So in effect, Miranda’s actions are what led to the Baker family becoming monsters. After all, it was her failed experiment which led to the fungus being spread from the cave in the village to the Southern locale in the United States.

However, the final shot shows the car off in the distance with a shadowy figure seemingly walking towards them. Players on PC using a free-roam camera mod were able to zoom in and discover the model of the person appears to be Ethan Winters. This by no means is proof he is alive as the developer may not have intended us to ever see this.

It also wouldn’t be the first time the series brings back a character from the dead. While there is no telling which direction Resident Evil will go in next, there is dialogue that implies Redfield’s next target is the BSAA. Given that Rose is later discovered to be trained under him, perhaps she will help put a stop to them.
