Warning: Ginny & Georgia season 3 spoilers ahead.
Ginny & Georgia is back for a third season, and as one of Netflix's most popular titles, we are predicting lots of fans will have watched the entire ten-episode series by the end of the weekend.
So let's get into it, and by ‘it’ we mean how the third chapter ended. For the uninitiated, the series tells the story of a mother named Georgia (Brianne Howey) and her daughter Ginny (Atonia Gentry).
The pair may be one of Netflix’s most beloved mother-and-daughter duos, but playing Glamour’s ‘Friendship Test’, it’s clear they’re exceptionally close off-screen, too.
So let's get started with how and where Ginny & Georgia season 2 left off. First of all, which sees Georgia prepare for her murder trial, after she was arrested for killing Tom Fuller. As the season progresses, Georgia begins to lose hope. But in episode 9 (towards the end of the season), something shocking happens. Georgia's son Austin (Diesel La Torraca) announces he will take the stand as the only witness. He then commits perjury by lying in court, saying it wasn’t Georgia who killed Tom, but his biological father, Gil (Aaron Ashmore).
What happens in the Ginny & Georgia season 3 finale?
First, we flash back to before Austin's appearance in court, and see Ginny visit Austin at school. She tells him that Austin's father Gil is planning to take him away and move to Michigan. After showing Austin the bruise Gil left on her arm, Georgia convinces Austin to lie during the trial and on the stand to protect their mother. “It’s a murder trial, we have to give them a murderer,” she says, so they invent a story where Gil was at the house when the murder happened. They also create a motive: Austin overheard Georgia and Cynthia (Tom’s wife) talking about how they blocked Gil’s apartment application so he could live closer to Austin.
Ginny also pleaded with Cynthia to help her protect Georgia. When Cynthia tries to reject Ginny's pleas, Ginny turns to blackmail. She threatens to reveals Cynthia's affair with Joe (Raymond Ablack), revealing she has footage of the two of them having sex in Blue Farm.
“My mum might not drag you down with her, but I would,” Ginny says. So Cynthia lies on the stand, saying that it's possible she didn't notice Gil entering the house. It's only afterwards that she discovers that there are no cameras at Blue Farm, and that Ginny had manipulated her. Will this double cross mean she will retaliate in season 4?
By the end of the season, Austin seems to be the most conflicted about the sequence of events – is he OK with sending an innocent person to prison and letting his mother walk free after murdering someone? We shall see.
What about Ginny & Georgia's love lives?
To start, Ginny's love interest Marcus is spiralling, with his drinking problem worsening rapidly. He sneaks out to a party, and Ginny and him confess their love for each other, seemingly getting their romance on track. But when Ginny realises just how bad Marcus's demons are, she realises that they cannot be together until he is given the chance to get better. His twin sister Max wants him to go to rehab, whereas his parents are worried about him having to repeat a school year. Eventually, though, we see him drive off in his mum's car, presumably to a rehab centre.
Joe, who has loved Georgia for years since they were younger, asks her who really killed Gil – and she is honest with him. She admits that she killed Gil, as well as the other murders she has committed as well. She tells him: “I’m so tired of lying. I’m so tired of running. I just want to stand still.”
Even though her husband Mayor Randolph (Scott Porter) has filed for divorce, meaning her and Joe can now give things a go, Georgia realises she needs to put their potential relationship on pause and focus on her kids.
Ginny & Georgia season 3 final moments
We see Georgia receive a call from her father from prison. “If I can find you, anyone can. Your mom, your stepdad. Mary, you have to be careful," he says. Ominous. We then see two people drive past Georgia's house in a truck – who is it? Who will Georgia have to run from next?
Then, the final scene sees Georgia grab milk out of the fridge, and as she drinks it Ginny says “Mum, didn’t you say you drink milk when you’re pregnant?” Talk about ending the series on a cliffhanger, especially as she faked a pregnancy earlier on in the season to try and dissuade the mayor from leaving her.
All kinds of scandal. Bring on Ginny & Georgia season 4.
