Firefly Lane Season 2 promised to solve all of the unanswered questions from the first season, especially the most important one: what caused the conflict between Tully Hurt and Kate Mularkey?
The three-decade-long friendship of Tully and Kate is the focus of the tv series. Even though they overcame the most difficult challenges, Kate knows one issue that almost escapes the solution.
Firefly Lane Season 2 also explores the politics of being a woman in the 1970s and 1980s. Kate and Tully offer the audience contrasting viewpoints on life, love, and living during a time when there were few and commonly undervalued opportunities for women in journalism due to their radically different personality traits.

What caused the separation between Kate and Tully?
Tully and Kate’s argument at the end of the first season of Firefly Lane was sparked by Tully being arrested for driving drunk following a car accident in which Kate’s daughter, Marah, was also wounded. Tully apologizes sincerely to her closest friend, but Kate tells her the friendship is gone.
Tully offers to watch Marah, Kate’s grounded girl, so her friend might rekindle her waning love with her husband in the season 2 episode. But unfortunately, Marah gets asked to the movies by a girl she has a crush on while visiting Tully’s place, and even though she knows she is supposed to be grounded, Tully decides she may go anyway.
Tully then experiences a romantic moment of her own. Tully is upset when he eventually admits to having a girlfriend after running into an old flame and sharing a pizza.
Tully receives a phone call from Marah, who has been left by teenage friends and is in a dangerous situation with a male who won’t leave her alone. Tully sets out to save her despite the previous wine.
However, on the way home, another disaster strikes, and the duo is engaged in a car accident. Tully gets arrested for drunk driving after injuring Marah. Tully apologizes profusely, but Kate tells him that their friendship is gone.
Ending explained: Why Did Kate Eventually Approach Tully? Have they resolved their differences?
Following their friendship’s breakdown, caused by Tully’s ill-fated drink-driving arrest and Kate’s daughter’s injury, Kate and Tully, much to viewers’ dismay, do not have a chance to mend their connection before the end of season 2, part 1.
Following the breakdown, the childhood best friends go a whole year without speaking to one other. Finally, both ladies begin to go on with their lives in retrospect. Kate enrolls in a class of creative writing and tries hopelessly to befriend one of her classmates to fill the void left by Tully.
The season 2 part 1 ending is shocking. Unfortunately, Kate was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer & told she must begin treatment immediately. This life-changing news leads Kate to contact Tully finally. She arrives unannounced at her friend’s apartment complex and bangs on the door, but no one responds.
Unfortunately, Tully had gone to Antarctica just before Kate arrived, where she had taken a job working on a global warming documentary. The season concludes with Kate sobbing in Tully’s doorway, leaving viewers to wonder if Kate and Tully will be able to resolve their differences before it’s too late.

What can we see in Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2?
Firefly Lane Season 2 Part 2 would undoubtedly be about Kate Mularkey and Tully Hart’s reunion. We may also expect Kate to reconsider marrying Johnny; given her personality, she may want Johnny to find happiness without her.
Johnny, in contrast, will never let go of Kate, no matter how bad things become. We can only hope that Kate will beat cancer and finish the novel she has always wanted to write.
Tully’s bond with Danny (Tully’s long-lost love) may be explored, and Tully Hurt may eventually find love. Let us wish for the best!
