'Sullivan's Crossing' Season 3: Chad Michael Murray, Scott Patterson navigate dating women committed to their careers
Season 3, Episode 8 starts with Cal almost confronting Maggie about the letter he found in last week's episode, in which Maggie wrote to a former fling about needing to put her career first. But instead, Cal just says that he feels they haven't been spending much time together.
While helping Rob (Reid Price) at the lodge (which has now been inspected and cleared to continue renovations), Cal tells him about the letter and that he thinks Maggie misses medicine more than she's letting on. Rob comforts Cal by saying that people's perspectives and priorities can change in life, and Cal shouldn't let that one letter get to him.
Meanwhile, Sully (Scott Patterson) is in heartbreak mode. He's trying to call Helen (Kate Vernon), but she's not answering his calls. He's also trying to keep busy at the Crossing, clearly trying to take his mind off of Helen leaving.
Maggie finds out that Helen left, through Edna (Andrea Menard), while also telling her dad that she's consulting on Glenn's case at the hospital, Sully's enemy, stressing that Glenn is really sick and that she took an oath to help people.
"The Sully I know, he'd never turn his back on anyone," Maggie says. Sully agrees with her, but admits he's "on edge" after Helen left unexpectedly.
That's when Maggie gets a call that Glenn took a turn for the worse, and she goes through his case again. Glenn came to the hospital with a tremor, requesting a prescription for anxiety medication, thinking he had the "yips," an involuntary muscle spasm.
But the new piece of information is that he's developed a rash, similar to the firefighter who came to the hospital the other day, who was helping Rob work on the lodge. Now Maggie thinks there may be a connection.
When Maggie talks to the firefighter, he tells her about his landscaping job, which he does when he's not at the firehall. He said his stomach's been off and he was tired before going to help Rob, but thought he was just coming down with something.
Maggie has a breakthrough when Jacob (Joel Oulette) shares that the lichen samples he collected show signs of contamination with heavy metals, particularly arsenic, found in things like pesticides used in landscaping.
It turns out that the firefighter works for the landscaping company Glenn uses at the golf course, and they were trying to use up pesticides that had recently been banned. Glenn had a particularly high exposure, because he lives and works there.
Now that Glenn has answers, being in the hospital alone made him realize that he's been trying to prove his worth to a father who's never been there for him.
"I hoped that if I made enough money that eventually he would take notice," Glenn tells Maggie. "But he didn't even bother to return the hospital's calls."
At Maggie's request, Sully goes to the hospital to see Glenn and there's a truce. Glenn apologizes to Sully and says he wants to make things right.
Glenn has stopped construction on his new development, wanting to make it a conservation area. But there's one catch, Glenn wants Sully to be the one who looks after it for him.
Helen eventually picks up the phone when Sully calls and she tells him that she's been in back-to-back meetings because there's a producer in Ireland who wants to turn her novels into a TV series. And she'll be needed in Dublin for a while.
Cal goes to check on Sully, who suggests that Sully go to see Helen in Ireland, but Sully doesn't want to "get in the way of her career."
Fans of Sully and Helen will be glad to know that Helen calls Sully back with a big proposal, she asks him to come with her to Ireland.
"Maybe it's time for you to let go and start focusing on your future," Helen says, with Sully agreeing to join her.
In other relationship updates, some couples are stronger than others.
Lola (Amalia Williamson) talks to Sydney (Lindura) about her first time having sex, and with Jacob specifically. They talk about the "liberating" but "vulnerable" feeling of opening up to someone so intimately. Despite her feelings for him, Lola is being realistic about the fact that Jacob has to go back to Alberta to finish his degree.
But Jacob decides that he's going to call his advisor to see if he can finish up his research from Nova Scotia, meaning the couple could be together for much longer.
Meanwhile, Sydney and Rafe (Dakota Taylor) talk about the future of their relationship, with Sydney saying she's not interested in getting married. It's very different for Rafe, who believes a marriage license is important, leaving a big question mark about how long this relationship will last.
The episode ends with a big dinner, prepared by Edna, with Frank (Tom Jackson), Cal, Maggie, Sully, Lola and Jacob. But suddenly Edna drops a salad bowl and says she can't see.
Another Sullivan's Crossing episode that ends with a cliffhanger.

What JD Vance, Pam Bondi, and Sam Altman Can't Stop Listening To, According to the ‘Panama Playlists'
Jul 30, 2025 6:34 PM A new website claims to know the Spotify listening habits of Trump officials, tech leaders—and even journalists. Attorney General Pam Bondi allegedly jams out to Nelly's 'Hot in Herre." Photograph: Soumyabrata/Getty Images From JD Vance's dinnertime Bieber to Sam Altman's Shazaming of incredibly popular hit songs, a website claiming to have published the Spotify listening habits of members of the Trump administration, tech leaders, and journalists is making the rounds. 'We've been scraping their accounts since summer 2024. Playlists, live listening feed, everything. We know what songs they played, when, and how many times,' the Panama Playlists site reads, alleging, 'With a little sleuthing, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is them.' Are all of the accounts real? At this point, it's hard to tell. The accounts listed have not been independently verified by WIRED. Reporter Mike Isaac from the New York Times, tells WIRED that the songs listed on the website under his name matches his real Spotify listening history. Five of the Spotify listeners from the website confirmed to The Verge the accuracy of their posted data. So, I've spent all morning obsessively listening to every song on the 'Panama Playlists,' enjoying a voyeuristic look into the listening habits of powerful people. Representatives of the public figures whose playlists were featured did not respond to immediate requests for comment. Vance's potential cooking playlist, which which had been reported on before this drop, has Justin Bieber's 'One Time' and the Backstreet Boys's "I Want It That Way" in rotation. The 'Panama Playlists' also claim US Attorney General Pam Bondi jams out to Nelly's 'Hot in Herre' and Foreigner's 'Cold as Ice,' (the latter sounds like a mad lib for the administration's current immigration policy), Florida Governor Ron DeSantis allegedly streams Miley Cyrus's 'Party in the USA', and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appears to enjoy some Cyndi Lauper with 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun.' (I mean, some of them also want reproductive rights, too). Even gay Republicans couldn't resist the gravitational pull of Brat summer, it seems, with nominee for US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jacob Helberg listening to Charli XCX's 'Apple' over 50 times in the past year. If the lists are accurate, Helberg could soon become the member of the Trump administration most on the gay-pop train. Chappell Roan's 'Femininomenon' and Addison Rae's 'Diet Pepsi' clock in as his next top two most listened songs, according to the 'Panama Playlists.' I wonder how Helberg's potential boss would feel about him being a Chappell-head, especially considering the artist said 'fuck Trump' last year. The songs Silicon Valley tech leaders allegedly have on repeat are especially unhinged. The public Spotify account seemingly linked to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, which appears to follow playlists from one of Altman's longtime friends, contains multiple Shazam playlists of identified tracks, from Dixon Dallas's 'Good Lookin',' a gay parody of country music, to Missy Elliott's 'Get Ur Freak On.' Elliott's ubiquitous hit is mainly just the lyrics 'get ur freak on' repeated over and over, making it particularly ironic to Shazam. Additional songs that Altman appears to have Shazamed include: 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster the People, 'Liability' by Lorde, 'The A Team' by Ed Sheeran, 'Fly' by Nicki Minaj, and 'Make You Feel My Love' by Adele. Palmer Luckey, co-founder of defense company Anduril and controversial figure in Silicon Valley, confirmed on X that he curated a number of mid-2000s bangers for his 'Best Music Ever' list, created about a decade ago; Kelly Clarkson's 'Since U Been Gone,' Hilary Duff's 'So Yesterday,' and Avril Lavigne's 'Sk8er Boi' were all part of his Spotify listening habits. Hate to say it but these are, in fact, certified bops. What song did newly appointed Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang allegedly listen to after the deal with Scale AI, his startup, closed? The 'Panama Playlists' claim that it was 'Stubborn Love' by The Lumineers. Not necessarily the celebration song I would have picked. Venture Capitalist Marc Andreessen appears to have both 'Go The Fuck To Sleep' (probably where I would slot in The Lumineers) and 'Focus Alpha' playlists. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie's alleged list of songs for working out on a Peloton bike include Donald Glover's 'This Is America,' about racism and gun violence, and The Rolling Stones's 'Gimme Shelter.' Is it crucial to know exactly what songs JD Vance might be listening to? Yes and no. While this is a seemingly trivial look into what's going on inside his headphones, the 'Panama Playlists' purport to be a stunning example of the porous nature of online data. The website serves as a critical reminder that your digital footprint could be more public and trackable than you typically realize. Similar to when Vance's Venmo account was left public, apps designed for consumers sweep up the data of everyone, even the most powerful people in the US. For Spotify users, any playlist you make is public by default, and this has to be manually turned off in the settings. And if you'll hold on for just a second, I have a couple default settings on my Spotify account that I need to change real quick—can't let my continued obsession with the Twilight movie soundtrack get out.

Riley Hawk Talks ‘Quiet' Life With Wife Frances Bean Cobain, Says Dad Tony ‘Helps a Lot' With Baby Ronin
Riley Hawk and Frances Bean Cobain have found a state of peace — nirvana, one could say — with their life at home with 10-month-old son Ronin. In an interview with People published Wednesday (July 30), the young skater opened up about living a 'quiet' life, despite his and his wife's famous parents. Riley is the son of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, while Frances' father is late rock icon Kurt Cobain. More from Billboard Frances Bean Cobain Honors Father Kurt Cobain on 30th Anniversary of His Death: 'He Feels Transcendent' Tony Hawk Says He Wishes Kurt Cobain Could Have Met Their Grandson Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' Video Hits Two Billion YouTube Views 'We just do our own thing,' Riley told the publication, noting that they 'don't really think too much about' the weight of their respective inherited legacies. 'We're just a very quiet stay-at-home family. We just hang out.' 'My dad helps a lot, and it's really cool that we get to all hang out together,' he added. 'It's just a cool thing for him to get to hang out with his grandson a lot. That's kind of where we're at, just taking it day by day.' Riley and Frances — whom Kurt shared with fellow rock pioneer Courtney Love — welcomed Ronin in September 2024, about one year after they got married. Tony has been open about how much he loves being a grandfather to the little boy, and on Instagram this past February, he wrote, 'I wish Kurt were here so he could see the incredible woman his daughter has become, meet her devoted, caring husband, and hold our wondrous grandchild.' The Nirvana frontman died in 1994 after suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Frances wasn't even 2 years old at the time. On the 30-year anniversary of his death last year, the younger Cobain opened up about her complicated feelings of grief on Instagram. 'I wish I could've known my Dad,' Frances wrote at the time. 'I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story. I always wondered if he would've caught tadpoles with me during the muggy Washington summers, or if he smelled of Camel Lights & strawberry Nesquik (his favorites, I've been told).' 'Whether it's by hearing a song or through the hands we share, in those moments I get to spend a little time with my dad & he feels transcendent,' she added at the time.

Ted Cruz Is Weirdly Invested In The Backlash To Sydney Sweeney's Jeans Ad
Add Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) to the chorus of conservatives who are defending Sydney Sweeney amid heated backlash to her American Eagle campaign. On Tuesday, the Texas Republican offered a snide, politically charged take on the controversy on X, formerly Twitter. 'Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women,' Cruz wrote alongside a New York Post article about the campaign. 'I'm sure that will poll well...' He doubled down on his remarks while appearing on Fox News in a segment that aired later on Tuesday, using the Sweeney furor as an example of 'how extreme' he feels the Democratic Party has become. 'This week the Democrats have decided, with the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, that they hate beautiful women,' he said. 'That's just a little nuts for them to say, 'I'm sorry, we're the Democrats. Beautiful women are no longer acceptable in our society.'' Sweeney, best known for her portrayal of Cassandra 'Cassie' Howard on HBO's 'Euphoria,' has faced a barrage of criticism this week following the release of her American Eagle ads, which play off the words 'genes' and 'jeans.' 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,' the actor explains in one of the ads. 'My jeans are blue.' A narrator then reads the tagline: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Though the ad seems to be an intended as an homage to Brooke Shields' 1980 Calvin Klein campaign ― also controversial for its time ― some fans on social media felt it contained white supremacist undertones. Watch one of Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ads below. 'Having Sydney Sweeney talk about her genes/jeans is already a bad look for American Eagle, but calling her genes/jeans 'blue' takes it even further, hinting at 'blue blood,' a term historically tied to whiteness and aristocratic lineage,' the Instagram account Style Analytics wrote. 'It's a nod to eugenics, aligning the brand with the growing conservative/right-wing/white supremacy movement ... This is just one way brands have recently been attempting to plaicate to conservatives.' Many echoed those sentiments, including one TikTok user who called the ad 'what happens when you have a bunch of white folk who all look and think the same.' Added another on X: 'This is so Hitler like what.' Neither Sweeney nor American Eagle have yet to respond to the criticism over the campaign. Cruz, however, is among a growing number of conservatives, including White House Communications Director Steven Cheung and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, in defending the ads. Related...
