Big spoilers ahead for Firefly Lane Season 2 part 1
Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 1 begins after Johnny is injured by the IED blast in Iraq. Luckily he survived with minor injuries. But the accident leaves Johnny traumatized and he begins to experience flashbacks and PTSD at home. Pushing Kate away, Johnny further complicates their relationship by refusing to admit anything is wrong.
Adding fuel to the fire is the return of Charlotte (India de Beaufort), a former KPOC intern who has a crush on Johnny, who worked closely with him in Iraq. Will Johnny continue with Charlie?
Will Kate and Johnny get back together in Season 2 Part 1 of Firefly Lane?
Good news for fans cheering for Kate and Johnny, they do come together again in today’s storyline. After Johnny seeks therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, he finds he still loves Kate. In the finale of Season 2 Part 1, Kate finally accepts his proposal and agrees to remarry.
While the 1980s story starts off strong for the couple, they separate after Kate realizes they don’t want the same things in life i.e. marriage and children. The season ends with Johnny trying to work things out with Kate, but he’s too late. She has already moved on with a new guy named Theo and gone on a trip to Europe with him.
But that was in the 1980s, and while that segment ends on a “cliffhanger,” we already know what’s going to happen to the pair in the future. In 2005 Kate and Johnny are happily together again and newly engaged for the second time.
