The argument between Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey at the end of Firefly Lane's first season in which Kate got mad was caught on by Tully's arrest for drunk driving following a car accident in which her daughter, Marah Mularkey, was also in the car and was hurt. Later, Tully apologizes profusely, but Kate tells her that their friendship is over. Hence, they have yet to become friends again as Kate finds it unforgivable.
Firefly Lane on Netflix, created by Maggie Friedman, is an emotional drama TV series based on Kristin Hannah's eponymous novel. Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey, childhood best friends, are followed from their teens to adulthood as they go through various ups and downs of life from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Tully and Kate try to figure out relationships, careers, past trauma, and other issues at various stages. However, certain events alter their lives forever, putting their bond to the test.
Fans of the series were heartbroken when the first season ended with an unresolved rift between lifelong best friends Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey. The seemingly unbreakable pair struggled through the sourness of their relationship in the show's dramatic season one finale, with Kate making it clear that her best friend was not welcome at her father's funeral.
Viewers were left perplexed by the hostility. Whatever happened between the two that led to their fight was never revealed in season 1. With the release of the latest season of the series on Netflix, viewers now have the answer and know what Tully did to make her mad at the end of Season 1.
Previously, we touched on who Bud is.
Kate Was Mad at Tully at the End of Firefly Lane Because Tulley Was Drunk and Got Into an Accident While She Taking Marah Back Home: They Have Yet to Become Friends Again!
Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey's fight at the end of the first season of Firefly Lane was caused by Tully being arrested for drunk driving after being involved in a car accident that injured Kate's daughter, Marah, who was also in the car which made her mad. Later, Tully apologizes profusely to her best friend, but Kate tells her that the friendship is over. Here is what actually happened between the two best friends which Kate thought was unforgivable.
Tully offers to babysit Marah, Kate's grounded daughter so that Kate can rekindle her waning romance with her husband. Tully, who wants to be the cool godmother and knows that Marah is supposed to be grounded, agrees to let Marah go out with her crush Ashley under the premise of going to the movies.
But later that evening, a terrified Marah calls to Tully that Ashley had in fact forced her to attend a frat party so she could resume her relationship with her ex-boyfriend. After some time, Ashley started kissing a partygoer and left Marah there by herself. Marah ran away and hid after he attempted to become too aggressive, then she called Tully to come to get her. Tully sets out to save her despite the previous wine.
However, on the way home, another disaster strikes, and they get involved in a car accident. Tully gets arrested for drunk driving after injuring Marah. There is where Tully tried to apologize for her mistake, but Kate was so mad that she ended their friendship on the spot.
Following their friendship's breakdown, which was caused by Tully's ill-fated drink-driving charge and Kate's daughter's subsequent injury, Kate and Tully, much to viewers' chagrin, do not get a chance to mend their relationship before the end of season 2, part 1.
Following the fallout, the childhood best friends go an entire year without speaking to each other. Both women begin to move on with their lives in retrospect. Kate enrolls in a creative writing class and attempts to befriend one of her classmates in order to fill the void left by Tully, but to no avail.
The season 2 part 1 finale is shocking. Kate is tragically diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer and told she must begin treatment right away. This life-changing news inspires her to finally contact Tully. She arrives unannounced at her friend's apartment building and bangs on the door, but no one answers.
Unfortunately, Tully had left for Antarctica just before Kate arrived, where she had accepted a job working on a global warming documentary. The season concludes with her crying on Tully's doorstep, leaving viewers to wonder if Kate and Tully will be able to make amends before it's too late.
Will There Be Season 3 of Netflix’s Firefly Lane?
Unfortunately, there will be no third season of Netflix's Firefly Lane. In an announcement made in October 2022, Netflix confirmed that season two will be the final series for the show.
Katherine Heigl, who plays series lead Tully Hart, confirmed the news on Instagram as she wrote, "The Firefly Lane Girls have returned! On December 2nd, we can't wait to share the second and final season with you all."
While fans are devastated by the news, it was obvious from the start that Netflix would cancel the show after two seasons. This is because the series is based on bestselling author Kristin Hannah's novels titled Firefly Lane and Fly Away, respectively.
Season one covers the events of the first novel, while season two covers the events of the second. So it makes sense that now that there is no more source material from future books, Netflix is ending Firefly Lane. There is always the possibility that Kristin Hannah will decide to write a third book, but there will be no season 3 until then.
