Major Ginny and Georgia spoilers ahead.
Ginny & Georgia season 3 is here, and the drama has been amped right up. This season, Georgia finds herself on trial for murder, while Ginny is doing her utmost to prove her mother's innocence.
“Season three is our most ambitious and explosive season yet,” show creator Sarah Lampert said to Tudum. “Going into it, we knew our core driving force isn’t the plot twists and turns, but the emotional truth of these two women. We care about these characters, they are messy and complicated and real, and that’s why we’re invested in the wild season they’re about to go through.”
And, yeah, it does get seriously wild. Did we mention Georgia is on trial for murder?
Of course, it's not the first time she has killed. But she always seems to have a good reason. In season 1, we discovered that she had previously (accidentally) killed Anthony Green, the hotel owner she married after giving birth to Ginny. Then there was Kenny, her next husband, who touched Ginny inappropriately. He had to go. At the end of season two, Georgia committed her third murder. But who did she kill this time? And why?
Who did Georgia kill in Ginny & Georgia season 3?
Georgia's third victim was Tom Fuller, Cynthia's husband. In season 2, Georgia became friends with Cynthia, her Wellsbury neighbour, while her husband, Tom, was in a coma. At the end of season 2, Georgia takes it upon herself to smother Tom with a pillow.
Why did Georgia kill Cynthia’s husband?
Ok, but why, Georgia? Well, it seems like she was trying to be a supportive friend. Remember when Cynthia drunkenly told Georgia, "I just want it to be over." Apparently, Georgia took her a little too seriously.
What happens after Georgia kills Cynthia's husband?
Georgia's third murder is the first time she has to face the consequences of her actions. First of all, her son, Austin, witnesses her killing Tom. Season 3 follows Georgia's trial and life in prison after being arrested for Tom's murder.
In the explosive finale, we finally find out if Georgia will get away with Tom's murder.
Spoiler alert: of course she does.
First, she blackmails Cynthia into suggesting that her abusive ex, Gil, could have been present the night of the murder. Meanwhile, Ginny convinces her brother to lie when he takes the stand in order to protect their mother. “It’s a murder trial; we have to give them a murderer,” she says. Like mother, like daughter, apparently.
When Austin takes the stand as the only witness he tells a little white lie that lands Gil, his biological father, with a life sentence for murder. But we guess he kind of deserves it?
“It’s an out-of-body moment," said Brianne Howey, the actor who plays Georgia. "Georgia was fully resigned to the fact she was going away, so this completely rips the rug out from under her.”
The Netflix hit TV series is back.
For a more detailed ending explainer, please head this way.
Ginny has now woven a complicated lie to free her mother. And it will undoubtedly change their relationship.
“For Season 3, the question I asked is, ‘What would it take to break Georgia?’ And I mean that coming from a place of love for Georgia, because I think she needs to break to build," said Lampert to Deadline. "So Season 3 was about getting her to a place of being able to build her back differently in Season 4.”
In other words, it sounds like we'll be entering some new territory next season — and we can't wait.
