This article contains main character or action details.


In his first season Sullivan's intersection sees the decent life of a woman excited when she confronts her chaotic, painful past – and discovers new opportunities for her future. The romantic drama was created by Roma Roth and Robyn Carr's book series by Robyn Carr about Canada's CTV. Morgan Kohan as Maggie Sullivan, a motivated young doctor who makes an unexpected return to her picturesque hometown in Nova Scotia. Read on to see where Maggie is in relation to family, friends, love and career until the end of the first season.

What happens in Sullivan's intersection Season 1?

Maggie Sullivan (Kohan) is a talented neurosurgeon in Boston, whose career is on the rise. However, all of your careful plans are disrupted if she is sued for negligence due to the fraudulent programs of her business partner … and also Things sued by the grieving mother of a patient who blames Maggie for the loss of her son. With her reputation on the line, Maggie withdraws to her hometown Timberlake, Nova Scotia, to hold down and clarify her head.

“Maggie is opposed to a lot in season 1. Her world in Boston has imploded and she is forced to exchange her exciting life as a surgeon for a much quieter one at the intersection with her alienated father,” says Roth to Tudum. “It is always a challenge to return to your home at home, but there is a lot of painful history for Maggie, and to return, she only forces herself to face the feelings of abandonment that she has ignored for years.”

Maggies estranged father Sully (Scott Patterson) has and runs a spacious campsite in Timberlake called Sullivans Crossing, an oasis of untamed nature that has been in his family for generations. The tacit baseball cap-Sully, stands in a sharp contrast to Maggies stepfather Walter (Peter Outerbridge) in Boston, a well-networked neurosurgeon who supported her professional ascent alongside her ambitious mother Phoebe (Lynda Boyd). The father-daughter reunion is stiff, but Maggie is lovingly by Frank (Tom Jackson) and Edna Cranebear (Andrea Menard) friends who receive more like family and their child buddy Sydney (Lindura).

A less welcome sight is Lola (Amalia Williamson), who is a father figure; Maggies resentment towards her is clearly returned. However, the most unpleasant meeting of everyone is with Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray), a newcomer who works as a craftsman for Sully. After he and Maggie had a frosty start, it was gradually warm – even though he refuses to say to her what “Cal” is short for.

Your relationship with Sully is more difficult to thaw. They love each other deeply, but they both buried their pain for so long that they have difficulty facing him. Your communication is awkward, her misunderstandings are common. Maggie has not visited since the age of 15, and they both pursue the memories of this summer. Sully also has his own problems. As a relaxing alcoholic, his sobriety becomes more fragile when his financial situation deteriorates and threatens the future of Sullivan's intersection.

Maggie finds comfort in her friendship with Cal. They slowly open to each other and combine their love for nature. Maggie learns that he is a lawyer and widower and that his real name is California. Your chemistry is undeniable, but both resist the urge to completely express their feelings. After all, Maggie still has a friend, Andrew (Allan Hawco) who is waiting for her. Andrew endeavors to start life together, and jealous of their time with Cal. He suggests a visit to Boston; She doesn't give him an answer. Soon they separate.

In Boston it is also less and less aligned with Walter and Phoebe. Because as much as she opposes Timberlake, it is there that Maggie repeats a piece of herself that she had forgotten. It also becomes a significant addition to the community: its medical know-how and its serenity or serenity are invaluable if it helps with a number of crises. The last is an accident in which climbing teacher Jackson (T. Thomason) leaves in a bad form.

Jackson's lifebursts for the first time that Maggie had to work on someone she knows – and his family She knows. When she adds how Jackson's parents torture herself, her heart hurts for the woman she sued whose son died. That, together with everything else that she has experienced since his return to Sullivan's intersection, asks her question, who she really is and what she wants to stand for.

How are you Sullivan's intersection Season 1 end?

The first season ends with a few resolution, but even more revelations. Maggie was relieved in the case of the missions of her former business partner, but the lawsuit about her patient is brought to court. In court, she is deeply affected by the pain of the destroyed mother and is looking for her during a break. She recognizes the woman, Ms. Markiff (Shelley Thompson), that nothing can make up for her loss and apologizes for all mistakes she may have made. Back in the courtroom, Maggie appeals to the judge and accepts liability. “At some point on the way I stopped seeing my patients as people with families,” she says. The judge is impressed by her entry, but Maggie is too late. Ms. Markiff has already asked her lawyer to discharge the case.

With her surgical license and conscience, Maggies is apparently behind – until her shaped former business partner Bob (Bob Mann) tracks her and asks her to listen to him. Immunity was promised to him, he says when he is reducing a larger fish: Walter. Before he can say more, her conversation is interrupted so that Maggie questions the integrity of her stepfather.

She returns to Sullivans Crossing one last time (anyway this season). Andrew said he would be waiting for her, but she is looking for Cal. He checked out and left the city after scattering his wife's ashes on the coast. Maggie finds Lola, who cleans his cabin, and although they used to build a preliminary ceasefire in the season, Lola hides a letter that Cal left for Maggie. Did that he did not say goodbye, decided Maggie to finally go and accept a job offer in Boston. The move would apparently bring her back to Andrew's orbit – just like the discovery that it is pregnant.

“Witness of the grief of a mother to lose her son and realize that she is partly responsible for this, makes Maggie re -evaluate her training and view her patients as humans,” says Roth. “After the process, when Maggie learns that she will be a mother, this news ends up even harder for her – especially since pregnancy is unplanned.”

She is not the only resident of Timberlake who is on a crossroads: Sydney, who came back to the city after a stay in New York City to help her widowed brother Rob (Reid Price) lead his diner and raise his son Finn (Zayn Maloney), believes that Rob has grown to annoy and get out of his house to find out what it is like next is recognizable. She stays with Rafe (Dakota Taylor), her friend with the benefits that may turn into a little more. In the meantime, Frank and Edna take vacation-a urgently needed break after his random shooting and leaves both Sully and Maggie without their reliable support.

Reconciles Maggie and Sully?

Before he travels to Boston, Maggie finally asks the question she tortured all season – and actually most of her life: “Why didn't you come to me?” He says he has no choice that his daughter does not satisfy. She drives away in tears and lets her father broken through an old photo album with a broken heart and remembers. In addition to the now famous memory of the day he lost her, Sully visits another dark piece of his past: Years ago, go to Maggie while he is drunk and desperately after the young Lola on her bike-and she is leaving with permanent injuries. It partly explains why he felt committed to playing a fatherly role for Lola when he grew up – which in turn alienated Maggie when she came back home as a teenager to visit her.

The painful memories, combined with the fact that Sullivan's intersection is only removed weeks before the enforcement, seem too much for Sully. In his room alone, he suffers an obvious heart attack. It is a brutal conclusion for such a contradictory character, but we hope that Maggie and her family will give lighter days for Maggie and her family in the next chapter of the series.

Roth reflects the traumatic season, which ends for Sully's character, and her intentions: “I wanted to show the audience that Sully's story gave more and that there was a valid reason why he did not have Maggie behind when her mother took her from the intersection,” she says. “At the same time, the end of the season with a large emotional dramatic cliff hanger lets the spectators on the edge of their seat, so they strive to turn into the next season. I love to withdraw the layers of the background stories of our characters carefully and to slow down the audience in a deliberate way to owe us.”

Where can I watch Sullivan's intersection Season 2?

Stream season 2 on Netflix now.

“Season 1 is just the beginning of Maggie's trip,” says Roth. “You can expect much more ups and downs and many cliff hangers when we get to know our characters and what makes them tick.”
