Ginny and Georgia Spoilers The first season of Netflix's "Ginny and Georgia" is over. (Opens in a new tab) I'm a little out of breath from the amount of storylines that reach a climax or leave a cringe-worthy cliffhanger in the space of an hour. Come on, let's join the club. The show closes with a dizzying turn of events, with Ginny and Austin (opens in new tab) running off into the night (kidnapping, no?) and Georgia becoming the First Lady of Wellesbury and a murder suspect twice at the same time.

Overall, "Ginny and Georgia" has received mixed reviews. Some praised it for its treatment of race and teenage dynamics (opens in new tab), while others criticized it for its multiple storylines that intersect and overlap in often confusing ways. One thing is certain: everyone is enamored with the newcomers who play the show's teenagers, including Antonia Jenley as Ginny, Sarah Weisglass as Max, and Mason Temple as Hunter. So let's take a look at how it all ended and where it's going for Season 2.

I don't know how I thought the show would end, but it didn't as Ginny and Austin rode off into the night on their bikes. It makes sense that Ginny would want to cut ties with her mother because she learned that Georgia had murdered at least one of them (a fairly valid opinion, perhaps, but that's another story). But where does that leave the 16 and 9 year old brothers?"

Austin is a minor and Georgia is obviously his only parent.

My guess is they are going to stay with Zion. Ginny adores her father, and Zion and Austin seem to be close, but Georgia clearly has custody of the two, and if Ginny goes to Zion, you know that will be the first place Georgia will look for her. Also, in the final narration, Ginny talks about running away, just like Georgia, but going to her father's place is not running away.

Gentry seemed to confirm my theory in an interview with TV Line: (open in new tab) "I don't know if you noticed, but when she is packing her bag, she grabs the book that Zion gave her. When Zion arrives and gives her the book, you know he wrote down the address. He had written a secret coded message on it and she knew it was the address of his Boston apartment. So I think it's pretty reasonable to think that Ginny might be headed to Zion."

I know that the heart of this series is Ginny and Georgia's relationship, but I found the MANG dynamic to be by far the gentlest. The way MANG fell apart after Max found out that Ginny had sex with Marcus was tragic. (The season ends with Max and Nora distancing themselves from Abby and Ginny, even though the four need each other more than ever in light of Sophie and Max's breakup and Abby's parents' divorce. For the record, I am very invested in MANG. [the first husband who was forced to marry Ginny to regain custody of her, and the second husband Kenny who had inappropriate contact with Ginny (and probably worse). The first season ends with Georgia becoming the first lady of Wellesbury and Cordova, a very handsome private detective, revealing to Ginny that he knows Georgia killed Kenny and that she dug up Kenny's body to hide it.

However, it seems likely that Cordova cannot prove it. For one thing, Ginny and Austin burned the plant as evidence. (I don't think you can burn a deadly poisonous plant, but I digress. Second, Georgia managed to get Kenny's remains into the fireworks celebrating Paul's re-election as mayor. At least that's what she tells Cordova.

This sets up season two. When Austin finds out that he thought he was writing to his father in Azkaban, but had been writing to his mother all along, Ginny forgets herself and mails all the letters to Austin's real father. Incidentally, the father is in jail, serving time for a crime that Georgia is implied to have committed. When Ginny tells Georgia that she mailed Austin's letters, dramatic music plays and Georgia looks frightened: "Did you write our return address?" I ask fearfully.

My guess is that Austin's father is about to be released from prison and will return for his son in season 2.

The first season ends with Ginny and Marcus in a strange place. On the one hand, "Will-they-Won't-they" is over: the two say "I love you" to each other, Marcus has recovered from his motorcycle accident, and Ginny and Hunter are no more. Meanwhile, Marcus has royally screwed things up by telling Max that his relationship with Ginny is no big deal (although I can see his point, too...). In the final hallway scene, he tells Ginny that he tap-danced her the way she deserves and smirks that Marcus should be able to act the same way with her. After all, Marcus does not fall in love.

If Ginny stays in Wellesbury, you would think she would work things out with Marcus in Season 2, but if she leaves Wellesbury to live with Zion, maybe not. But if she were to leave Wellsbury and live with Zion ...... she might not.

In an interview with TV Line, Gentry said: (open in new tab) "She really needs a friend right now.

Like I said, a lot is happening in the finale. Cynthia is caring for her disabled husband, Ellen and Georgia have a fistfight that ends with Ellen calling Georgia a bad mother, and Joe finally realizes that he actually met Georgia when they were kids and never imagined their connection. Realization. Joe also wants to tell her he loves her (now Georgia has three lovers), but he holds back. Because she is going to marry the mayor. (But "Ginny and Georgia" professes to be the spiritual sister show "Gilmore Girls," and Luke and Jo are grumpy, sexy, and often wear plaid. Luke and Joe are the same: grumpy, hot, and often dressed in plaid.

Gentry agrees. For Ginny's sake, I would prefer Zion. But for me, the viewer, I would choose Joe. He's such a sweetheart."

Whew. Thanks for joining my club. Hopefully season 2 (open in new tab) will come soon.
