Color me surprised

*Warning: Spoilers ahead*

Phew, where do I begin with season three of Ginny & Georgia?

I mean, surprising twists are to be expected, especially after the season two cliffhanger where Georgia (Brianne Howey) is arrested for murder on the night of her wedding to Paul. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m mad at Georgia because I don’t think she should have killed Cynthia’s husband. Yes, he was terminally ill and a mere couple of weeks away from dying, but that wasn’t Georgia’s place to end his life prematurely, even if she thought she was doing Cynthia a favor.

That said, we wouldn’t have all of this drama had Georgia not done what she did, which has now resulted in her being charged and put on trial for first-degree murder. There are so many jaw-dropping moments this season, from Marcus telling Ginny he doesn't love her to Ginny getting pregnant with Wolfe's baby after their first time sleeping together. Still, nothing prepared me for that one wild plot twist: Ginny and her brother Austin conspiring to frame Austin's dad for the murder their mother committed. I definitely did not see that coming.

And while this season was thrilling, I do have some questions. Austin’s dad, Gil, is pretty evil, so what happens next? What if Austin gets called to the stand during his trial and cracks under cross-examination? Maybe I'm getting too far ahead, but, seriously, what now? Georgia is free, but Ginny’s relationship with her brother is fractured, perhaps irreparably, because that was Austin’s dad, and while Gil is a horrible person, the one honorable thing he seemed capable of was being a good father.  On the other hand, Ginny still gets to have her dad in her life, so I predict this is something that will eventually cause Austin pain as well.

Speaking of Ginny, I’m not fond of the way she treated Max at the end of the season finale, and I think that treatment is a preview of how she is becoming like her mother. The difference between Ginny and Georgia, however, is that Ginny has always lacked the natural charisma her mother possesses. As problematic as she might be, there is something about Georgia that makes you end up liking her despite her many problems and personality issues.

That charm is also what’s allowed her to be perceived as innocent and naive to some people, which is exactly why many didn’t believe she was capable of the murders she committed. Ginny doesn’t have that same magnetic personality and has even come off as downright unlikable at times, which is why she needs to watch herself closely.

Overall, I found season three to be intense with great acting and writing, and I can’t wait to see where the show heads next season.
