Firefly Lane Season 2: All Your Questions About the Mid-Season Finale, Answered

glamour.com:

Firefly Lane showrunner Maggie Friedman promised us more ambitious storytelling ahead of the , and now we know why. Part one of the sophomore—and final—season not only answered the big question about why Kate (Sarah Chalke) and Tully () are no longer on speaking terms, but it set up an explosive second half for the Netflix dramedy. (This is your warning now to stop reading if you're not caught up.) In a departure from the books, Kate and Tully's falling out wasn't because of a mother/daughter showdown on Tully's talk show (Marah and Kate were constantly fighting, and Tully tried to bring them together on national television to patch things up).

Instead, it's the result of Tully letting a grounded Marah go out with the girl she had a crush on, only for the teenager and her godmother to get into a brutal car accident after Tully came to rescue Marah from an unsafe situation at a frat party.

No matter who you side with, that wasn't even the biggest revelation by the time episode nine came to a close. Kate was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer, which she actually passes away from in the book, that finally brought her back to Tully.

Well, *almost—*because Tully had left seconds earlier to head out on an expedition to Antarctica for a documentary. Will Kate be left to fight this battle without her (for a few months at least), or will Tully end up forgetting something in her penthouse and reunite with her best friend?If that wasn't enough, Netflix revealed in a new teaser trailer at the end of the episode that when the series picks up, we'll be jumping ahead (at some point at least) to the year 2016.
