Where Do Ginny & Marcus Stand?
Ginny and Marcus (Felix Mallard) each went by means of intense struggles battling psychological sickness as she labored with a therapist to try to cease burning and he fell right into a deep despair. The on-again-off-again duo can’t appear to maintain their distance for very lengthy although as they always come again to at least one one other, however is their hope for a future for his or her relationship? Fisher acknowledges, “these are characters that are first loves. They lost their virginity to each other,” she provides pointedly. When it involves a possible third season, Fisher says, “anything is possible, but where we ended them, there are issues with mental health that he needs to address. So, I think we’ve shown that they will always be in each other’s lives in some way. Even if it’s not romantic.”
As viewers will recall, Ginny realized extra concerning the depth of Marcus’s despair from his sister Max (Sara Waisglass), main her to vow she’d be there for him as a pal. “But I would say anything is possible as endgame,” Fisher hints, “even if they’re not together right now.”
What’s Going to Happen With Georgia?
Quite a bit went down this season, notably when it got here to Georgia and her many secrets and techniques coming to gentle. Out of all of the issues she may very well be arrested for, viewers could not have anticipated the dying of Cynthia’s terminally ailing husband. While Austin (Diesel La Torraca) did witness his mom smothering the person whereas enjoying hide-and-seek at Cynthia’s home together with his bully-turned-friend Zach (Connor Laidman), he by no means spoke a peep of the occasion, even saying so unconsciously out loud as Georgia was dragged away in handcuffs after her marriage ceremony to Paul.

“Cinematically, we love ending seasons on cliffhangers,” Fisher gushes. “As Georgia’s being arrested, being driven out in a cop car and having Austin chase her, it’s just such a beautiful callback to [Season 1’s cliffhanger]… she is such an incredibly nuanced and layered character. We learned so much more about her past with the flashbacks, and her darkest secrets are all brought to the surface.”
While Georgia did forgo telling Paul about killing her ex-husbands Kenny (Darryl Scheelar) and Anthony (Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll) — she purposely poisoned Kenny and by chance overdosed Anthony — she did lastly fess as much as a few of her largest secrets and techniques and he nonetheless accepted her. The solely query is, will he settle for her now that she’s been arrested for a homicide nobody knew she could be accused of?
“They genuinely do love each other,” Fisher notes. “In Georgia’s mind, she’s gotten off with PI Cordova [Alex Mallari Jr.], and [she] ends up getting arrested for something that no one saw coming. And I love that. I think that just speaks to the nature of our show. It’s so nuanced and complicated and one minute you’re laughing and the next minute you’re being arrested for murder.”
How Does Gil Fit In?
Austin’s dad Gil (Aaron Ashmore) dropped again into the Miller household’s lives this season, and little by little, viewers found his abusive habits in the direction of Georgia of their previous relationship. His presence provided an attention-grabbing dynamic shift, not solely between Georgia and him, however between Gil and the loves of Georgia’s life, Zion (Nathan Mitchell) and Paul.
While in Season 1, Georgia was “always running,” Fisher says, “now that she’s firmly planting roots in Wellsbury, we get to see her planning a wedding and what that brings up for her. When Gil shows up, we can tell there’s something going on between them in the past and then through the flashback we really get to reveal this dark past between the two of them.”
“Everyone’s fighting a battle you can’t see and I think that really does speak to Georgia and her past and who she is,” provides Fisher. “It really shows Georgia a little bit off her game because of what’s going on with Ginny knowing she’s a murderer and now Gil showing up.” Ultimately, Fisher says it’s “at the point when Georgia, Ginny, and Austin are all back together that [she’s] able to pull together and marry Paul.”
But simply because Cynthia blocked Gil from having the ability to entry housing in Wellsbury doesn’t imply he’s out of the image. Should the present return for a 3rd season, solely time will inform if Gil will play a task transferring ahead, however he actually shook issues up together with his presence.

Is Zion the Only One Who Knows the Full Story?
Perhaps Ginny’s father doesn’t learn about Georgia’s murders, however Zion clearly is aware of, loves, and accepts her for who she is. That a lot was made clear in flashback scenes from Season 2 as he witnessed Georgia shoot her abusive stepfather. “He knows things about her that most men don’t,” Fisher explains. “He does not know that she’s a murderer, but they share a deep past.”
“In Season 1, Zion wanted the family to be together, he was very committed to it, and then he saw Georgia with Paul and knew that that’s the life that she came to Wellsbury before, that’s what she wanted,” Fisher explains, and in the end, Zion stepped again to let Georgia proceed down that desired path. “They share something very special. They always will. But we did wanna show her moving on romantically. But we wanted to also show Zion meet a woman [he could have] a very strong relationship with.”
Is Marcus’s Knowledge a Bad Thing?
Before Ginny made up together with her mom, she expressed her issues over Georgia’s habits to Marcus, primarily telling him that she killed her late husband Kenny. In a scene between Georgia and Marcus in the direction of the tip of Season 2, he mentions the key, promising he gained’t inform anybody, but it surely’s clear Georgia doesn’t really feel comforted by the sentiment. But if followers know something about Marcus by this level, it’s that he’s not a rat in that sense.
“At this moment, at the end of Season 2, it won’t come into play,” Fisher says, however provides, “anything can happen in Season 3. We set up a lot of little tidbits in of how things will come into play,” Fisher continues to share, hinting at what may very well be subsequent ought to Netflix renew the present. “We don’t have a green light for a Season 3 yet,” she clarifies.

Where Does Cynthia Stand?
A fellow Wellsbury mom, Cynthia didn’t get together with Georgia most of Season 1 and Season 2, however the pair had a shift of their dynamic as soon as it was clear their sons had develop into pals. Despite believing Georgia’s a legal, and actively working in opposition to her in the neighborhood, Cynthia opened as much as her in methods she didn’t with different characters, providing added depth to her position this time round. The pair even appear to graduate from enemies to frenemies a minimum of, however will that small bit of fine will probably be tarnished if Cynthia realizes Georgia mercy-killed her husband?
“I don’t know if it’s like they’re full-on friends or frenemies, but they’re certainly spending time together and coming to a very different place,” Fisher says of Season 2. “I think outwardly they would say they’re getting friendly. I don’t know if Cynthia would say that, but those were some of my favorite scenes this season. Just having them, you know, share a drink together because Georgia was trying to manipulate her in the beginning of the season and Cynthia called her out. I love the honesty between them.”
As for full honesty, followers will want a 3rd season to see how it might prove following Georgia’s arrest. “I will just say Cynthia does not know yet that Georgia has been arrested for the murder of her husband. So Season 3 is going to be a very wild ride if we can get it.” We’ll elevate our glasses to that.
