At the end of season 2, Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) confessed her love to Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray), but the first episode of Season 3, titled “New Beginnings,” finds her trying “to embrace her new life at the Crossing as she struggles to move past the loss she suffered the night of the diner fire.”

It’s unclear if the loss that the synopsis is referring to is about the diner, her father’s near-brush with death, or if the stress of it all caused Maggie to lose the baby, which many fans have theorized may happen if the series wants to give Cal and Maggie’s romance a fair shot.
Maggie has officially left behind her adrenaline-filled life in the OR in Boston and moved to Nova Scotia to follow her heart, where she’ll help run the Outpost with her father and “make Sullivan’s Crossing her home,” which is evident in the photos as she sits on her childhood bed with Sully (Scott Patterson) smiling over her permanent decision.
“Though she wants to finally take her relationship with Cal to the next level, she finds herself struggling to connect with him due to her loss,” the season description notes, as we see the newly-minted couple having a heart-to-heart while sipping lemonade on the front porch.
The challenges aren’t just limited to Maggie, as Edna (Andrea Menard) and Frank (Tom Jackson) make some much-needed changes at the store that are “rubbing certain people the wrong way.”
As for romances heating up, it extends past Maggie and Cal as “bestselling author, Helen (Kate Vernon), comes to the Crossing to finish her new book” and crosses paths with Sully. By the second episode, “Sully sees Helen in a new light as they begin to bond over their mutual love of birdwatching, but their trip into the forest takes a turn with a shocking discovery.”
Meanwhile, “Sydney (Lindura) and Rafe (Dakota Taylor) get caught in a compromising position by Rafe’s new boss,” the synopsis also states, as the photos show the duo packing on the PDA after they finally admitted their feelings for each other.
Elsewhere in episode 2, “Frank and Edna prepare for the arrival of Frank’s cousin, and Lola (Amalia Williamson) has an awkward run-in with a handsome stranger (Joel Oulette) on a girls’ night out.”
Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3 premieres Wednesday, May 14 @Â 8/7c on The CW.
