Sweet Magnolias had a dramatic ending

Throughout season two, Maddie faced plenty of drama herself following the car crash that occurred at the end of season one. But her friends Helen and Dana Sue had their own fair share of messiness in the final episode.

Maddie and her partner, Cal, faced trouble throughout the ten episodes due to his anger management, but in the end, Maddie realised she did love him. However, after Mary Vaughn dug up some dirt on Maddie's boyfriend that sees him end up jobless, he's clearly holding onto a lot of anger. In the final scenes, he's triggered by a local admirer who pesters him.

Maddie and Cal in Sweet Magnolias

Maddie begs Cal to wait for the sheriff, but he takes matter into his own hands, starting a fight with the intruder, but it soon backfires when the police eventually turn up and put Cal in cuffs.

Helen faced plenty of trauma in season two. After losing a baby early on the series, she decides to go through IVF treatments with her new beau. However, things get complicated when her ex, who previously said he didn't want to have kids, shows up and proposes! But the show cuts before Helen gives her answer.

And elsewhere in the finale, audiences see Dana Sue decide to get back together with Ronnie after previously being torn between him and new love-interest, Jeremy. Given the sheer number of loose ends and cliffhangers, we can't help but think season three of Sweet Magnolias is definitely on the cards.
