While searching in Mexico, Nora senses Tommy might be in deep trouble. She quickly inspires the rest of the Walker clan to come to Mexico and help save their brother. Meanwhile, Justin and Rebecca search for the right moment to tell the family about their engagement. Robert and Kitty work to create the terms of their separation. Kevin wonders if he can ever make amends with Tommy. Back at Ojai, Saul reveals he has another secret he is hiding from the family.
Alright folks, this is it: the Season Three finale. It's written by our amazing showrunners Alison Schapker & Monica Owusu-Breen. It's directed by our very own Ken Olin. And it airs on Mother's Day. What more could you want? Okay, don't answer that. I know, everyone wants McKitty back together. I know, everyone wants more storylines with Kevin-Scotty. I know, everyone wants Rebecca to put a stake through Ryan's heart and have him turn into a big pile of dust. More than anything, I know we all want storylines that highlight the characters we have come to know and love. That is always the goal.
Well, hopefully, this episode can bring the season to a satisfying end, while also setting up the major stories for next year. And yes, if you haven't heard, ABC has officially picked us up for another full season. That's another whole year with the Walkers! The writing staff is coming back to work in late May and will begin mapping out the story arcs for the year. After a week of brainstorming and planning, we will be pitching our story ideas to the studio and network. This should be a very exciting time. I know the other assistants and I are looking forward to watching the writers start from scratch (to use the cooking metaphor from previous posts). Not even the writers know what will happen next year. At least to me, that's pretty exciting!
Alright, I'm visiting the family in Texas, trying to enjoy a little free time before it's back to work at Stage 6. Everyone have a great Mother's Day. If you can, watch Sunday's episode with your mom!
Best,
Cole
