As if Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 1 wasn’t heartbreaking enough, the flash-forward teased by a clip for the second part of the second and final season featured another potentially significant twist.
Spoilers ahead for Firefly Lane season 2
The end of Firefly Lane Season 2, Part 1 concludes with Kate learning the devastating news that she has inflammatory breast cancer, an aggressive form of cancer that needs immediate treatment.
Then, if you stay past the credits, Netflix will automatically play a one-minute clip from the next part of the episodes, showing Johnny at a wedding and Tully getting ready in a dressing room. The clip appears to indicate that Tully and Johnny will marry, likely after Kate dies.
The clip also gives fans an exact release date for the final episodes, which will premiere on June 8, 2023.
In the Firefly Lane books, do Tully and Johnny get married?
No, Tully and Johnny don’t get married in the books.
Will Tully and Johnny get married in Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2?
Despite what the teaser would have you believe, I think the clip is intended as a bait and switch. It’s clearly set up so Tully and Johnny are going to get married in ten years, but that doesn’t make any sense. It also doesn’t make sense that Johnny and Kate wait ten years. If Kate gets cancer treatment and recovers, it still won’t be ten years, and if she dies, I assume she’ll die sooner or later, so what’s really going on?
Based on the two clips we get, I think the real “bride” in question is Kate and Johnny’s daughter, mara. In ten years Marah will be in her late 20s and if she marries a woman it will be legal by then. The show was canceled in 2005 and gay marriage was legalized in June 2015, so the ten-year time jump would work. She could also marry someone of the opposite sex, Firefly Lane hasn’t labeled her sexuality yet, so there are other options.
Also, if it’s Marah’s wedding, we can assume Tully is presiding over her or she’s the maid of honor (Kate is probably past that point), making her comment about them “can’t start without her” make sense .
If you want to watch and analyze the 60-second clip for yourself, you can watch it on the Firefly Lane Netflix page. You need to go to the “Trailers & More” section and select the “There’s More to Come” clip.
Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2 returns with its final episodes on June 8, 2023.
