This is exactly the heart-wrenching direction the novel takes and just like in the book, Kate dies in Firefly Lane season 2 ending. Many fans who’ve read Kristin Hannah’s Firefly Lane book ending you might well have feared the worst when Part 1 of the second season saw Kate receive a devastating breast cancer diagnosis.
Ultimately, there was a huge amount to be joyful or hopeful about in the Firefly Lane season 2 ending, but there were also incredibly heart-breaking scenes too. Which is why I say five years or eight years, or 10 years later, in the epilogue, because I really felt like these characters were going to get to this exact moment at some point in the future.In a 2016 flashforward in the finale, Kate and Johnny’s daughter Marah also gets married and her dad and Tully couldn’t be more proud and pleased for her and her new wife. And when I found this ending, I wrote it in one afternoon, sort of the last two chapters, and I never deviated again or thought about it another way again. That was the ending I was holding the closest to. And when I realized that that was the story I was telling, I had to let go of that initial ending. I love the idea of paying homage to found families in all the ways they look. People mother fur babies, people mother friends. And then when I had my son in 2016, and I realized that this was the primal story of someone finding her way to motherhood, the way so many of us find our way to motherhood in ways that don't look like, and thank goodness, just the only one way. And that ending was so strongly embedded in my heart that I could not let it go, and that was a more traditional reunification ending.
I would put it down and pick it up and put it down and pick it up. I had an original ending for the first five years I was working on the book.
And so in that way, she did exactly what he thought and exactly what he would've hoped for. That said, what he knew she would do is anything that needed to be done for Bailey. I imagine he did not think or want her to get on a plane and go to Austin. And so what I think is, Owen may not have known exactly what Hannah was going to do, and he might not have wanted her to do some of the things she did. And the other is that I wanted to really get into this idea of, can we know the people we love? I love that even if all the details change, on a soulful level, even if you evolve, even if you shift the way we all shift over a lifetime, I believe that that answer is yes, and I wanted them to believe that about each other despite everything. He really had to go for reasons that, if there's ever a book sequel, will become clear. I think there are two reasons that Owen was so - let's call it succinct, so we don't kill him - in the "protect her" note, and one was a time thing. So watching those two actors perform in that scene, was a big few days for me. And the reason they go there is for this kid that they both love, even if it means for Hannah sacrificing Owen, and even if it means for Nicholas really sacrificing everything he thought he was capable of doing in the interest of having a relationship with his granddaughter. I thought about it in terms of almost being a three-act play in which they're meeting, they're in conflict, and the resolution is going to be somewhere neither of them thought they would ever go. But what we had here was that it was really a meeting of the mind and a manipulation. Because often, in a thriller or a mystery, that would be the moment where guns would come out blazing or someone would be choked from behind or what have you. Because when I wrote that in the book, everything in me was writing toward that exchange, toward that meeting. That would be the conversation between David Morse, the actor playing Nicholas Bell, and Jen, playing Hannah Hall, in episode 7.
