With Ginny going through the side effects of her mother's trial, she has nobody to turn to but Marcus, the only person who knows her secrets. After breaking up last season because of his mental health issues, the couple admits to still being in love with each other. The two kiss, but Marcus doesn't remember due to his troubles with alcohol, and they eventually decide to stay apart.

Ginny runs away from the murder trial and the media frenzy, straight into his arms to escape, and the two bond. In a plot twist, it is revealed that Ginny is pregnant after spending a night with Wolfe. She decides not to go through with the pregnancy, causing Wolfe to react poorly, and their rendezvous comes to an end. However, the pregnancy scare reminds fans of Ginny mirroring Georgia's path.


2) Zion turns on Georgia

In one of the most heartbreaking episodes of Ginny & Georgia season 3, Gil gets to Zion, and the pair decides that Ginny and Austin are unsafe with Georgia as the murder trial progresses. After watching Zion strongly support Georgia in the past, no matter what she did, it's shocking for fans to see him turn against her.

Zion calls Child Protective Services and takes the kids away from Georgia, placing Austin with his abusive dad, Gil. This earns him wrath from both his daughter, Ginny, and a visibly distraught Georgia. The move comes out of nowhere, adding another layer of trauma and heartbreak to the Miller family.


3) Georgia's love life is a whole plot twist in season 3

Between the murder trial, Joe's affair with the victim's widow, and Georgia marrying Paul after admitting she has lingering feelings for Joe, it's safe to say that things between the pair are awkward. But when Joe realizes that Georgia didn't give up his affair with Cynthia at the trial, he reconciles with her. After three seasons of waiting, Ginny & Georgia fans get to witness the duo finally give in to their feelings.

On the other hand, Paul has an existential crisis after learning about Georgia's past (the full version). Instead of supporting his wife, he chooses his reputation as the Mayor, and moves out of their home. His last straw—when Georgia lies about Ginny's pregnancy results as her own to get him to stay.

The moment he finds out the truth, Paul runs out of Georgia's life and their marriage, but not before imploding and accusing her of using him and ruining his career.


4) Austin's shocking lie on the witness stand

Ginny & Georgia season 3 episode 9, titled It's Time For My Solo, throws the biggest plot twist that the Netflix show has seen so far: Austin lying in front of an entire court that he witnessed his father, Gil, murder Tom—not his mother. Everyone in the courtroom starts gasping. But what makes it even more shocking is how Austin got there. A sinister smile from Ginny tells fans the full story.

In an to save her mother, who seemed to have given up and accepted her fate, Ginny goes full on Georgia and blackmails Cynthia about her affair with Joe. She throws in claims of CCTV footage showing her affair for good measure. She also pushes Austin to lie on the stand and nudge suspicion towards Gil. In the end, it is revealed that there was no CCTV footage, just Ginny's manipulation.

After years of Georgia trying to protect her children, especially Ginny, from becoming like her, this season sees Ginny crossing the line over to the other side.


5) Is Georgia actually pregnant?

After the whole escapade with Ginny's pregnancy test and Georgia lying about it being hers, Ginny & Georgia season 3 ends with the latter drinking milk, something she claims to do only when she's pregnant. This mild cliffhanger is an ironic plot twist to end the season.

Fans speculate who the father could be. Is it Paul who finally snapped and left Georgia? Or is it Joe, the man who accepted Georgia after knowing the whole truth about her past? Things get even more interesting because Georgia told Joe she needed some time to focus on the kids before romance.

The only way to find answers is to wait for Ginny & Georgia season 4.


The show has delivered surprises every step of the way. Even its side plots, which includes Abby contemplating her sexuality, and Marcus going through mental health issues and showing signs of alcoholism, the series has approached plot twists with a purpose.
