‘Ginny & Georgia' Season 3 Ending, Explained
For such a small town, Wellsbury sure is bursting with drama, in no small part thanks to Georgia AKA the Mayoress Murderess. Over the course of Ginny & Georgia's season 3's 10 episodes, Georgia went through a murder trial, a separation, a custody battle, and an attempted breakout from home arrest. Needless to say, the season was packed, and, if the Ginny & Georgia season 3 ending is anything to go by, season 4 is going to be even more charged.
Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a while for season 4. So in the meantime, let's dive into Ginny & Georgia's season 3 finale and recap what we know.
Major spoilers ahead for Ginny & Georgia season 3.
Georgia was found not guilty at the end of episode 9, 'It's Time for My Solo,' but how? In the finale, it's revealed that Ginny took a page out of Georgia's book and manipulated the outcome. Having given up on hope, Georgia was ready to go to jail for killing Cynthia's husband, but Ginny wasn't ready to give up. After Gil assaulted her, she used her bruises to convince Austin to lie on the stand and say that Gil had killed Cynthia's husband because he was angry at her for blocking him from renting an apartment in Wellsbury.
She then went to Cynthia, hoping to convince her to be open to the possibility that it could have been Gil. At first, she tried to get Cynthia to see that Georgia did what she did out of love and that if she had really wanted to hurt Cynthia, she would have allowed her lawyers to expose Cynthia's affair with Joe in court. Cynthia wasn't buying it, so Ginny took a different tactic: she told Cynthia that cameras at Blue Farm had caught her and Joe hooking up in the restaurant after hours and threatened to release the tapes and expose her affair. It was only after Cynthia had lied on the stand that she learned Ginny was bluffing. But by then, the deed was already done. Georgia was acquitted and Gil was on the run.
Marcus and Ginny started the season broken up and ended the season...maybe together? Though they kissed a few times in the season, they only had about 5 minutes of being blissfully back together before Marcus' drinking problem was exposed. The season ended with Marcus flunking sophomore year and being sent away to rehab. It's unclear if he and Ginny had a chance to say goodbye but before he left, she gave him a poem she had written for him and the two are definitely still in love with each other.
The season ends on a cliffhanger, with Georgia back home with Ginny and Austin. It should be a happy family moment, but instead Austin is mad at Ginny for taking him away from his dad and Georgia is disappointed to see Ginny take pages out of her book. Meanwhile, Paul is filing for divorce, so things are pretty tense in right now. So, naturally, it's time for a baby! The season ends with Georgia drinking milk straight from the bottle and Ginny realizing that her mom drank milk when she was pregnant. Uh oh.
Georgia has yet to take a pregnancy test, but if she is in fact pregnant, it's going to set us up for some major baby daddy drama in season 4. Who is the father of Georgia's baby? Is it Joe, the man who accepts her completely and has been in love with her since she was a teenager? Or Paul, the man who left her to rot in prison? We'll have to wait and see...

‘Ginny & Georgia' Puts A Spotlight On Depression And Addiction In Season 3
Felix Mallard and Sara Waisglass on 'Ginny & Georgia' on Netflix. When Ginny & Georgia premiered on Netflix in 2021, it looked like a fun popcorn binge-watch, but viewers quickly realized this series is much more than a soapy teen drama. Series creator and executive producer Sarah Lampert gave fans a sexy, fun show while also putting the characters through real-life issues, including eating disorders, personality disorders, and self-harm, to name a few. This season, depression and addiction take center stage with Felix Mallard's character, Marcus Baker. Mallard, alongside Sara Waisglass, who portrays his twin sister, Maxine, sat down and spoke with me about tackling such serious subject matter for a television show. Their performances are pure perfection and both took their portrayals very seriously. Jennifer Robertson and Felix Mallard in 'Ginny & Georgia' on Netflix. 'When you want to tackle something as serious as this, you want to treat it with a level of reverence and a level of love that people watching don't feel spoken down to or people don't feel like they're being made fun of, but they can really see their own emotional journey through it, you know? And with something like substance abuse, depression, and mental health, I think it requires a level of care and a level of understanding, and it's a delicate topic, so to be able to approach that is important," explained Mallard. "Hopefully, we did that in a way that people can resonate and feel understood instead of made fun of.' Felix Mallard and Sara Waisglass talk about their characters' struggles in season three of 'Ginny & ... More Georgia' on Netflix. While Marcus is unable to hide his depression and addiction, Maxine is the opposite. Counter to her brother, she's the outspoken, happy-go-lucky, popular girl who masks her loneliness and sorrow. Waisglass explained why it was so important to show this duality. 'That was something I was really proud of, that the writers did, because I don't think depression is one size fits all. I think everyone experiences it in a different way. I think one of the most shocking things is when you see someone who you think is brilliant and funny and amazing and has the best energy, and you understand that they struggle with mental health. It's always a shock, and I love that we're diving into that this year because I don't think anyone would look at Max and call her depressed. But I think she just deals with it in a different way, and her coping mechanism is to make everyone else happy, because if she can't make herself happy, she can at least do that for other people, which I think is a beautiful quality of hers.' She added that Ginny & Georgia also does a great job of showing what it's like to love a person who's struggling and how mental health affects everyone. 'It's not just in first person, but second person, third person. It's something that really does affect everyone. I like that we showed all sides of it.' When asked what it was like to portray a lonely, ostracized Maxine, Waisglass said it was painful. 'Whenever we do scenes in a classroom, it brings me back to high school. I did not have a single classroom scene this year, but I felt like I was in high school. Reading the scripts and seeing the hilarious scenes that I wasn't going to be part of reminded me a lot of when I was younger, and my friends hung out without me. It was very painful. I think it's something that everybody goes through. It's a rite of passage because it forces you to stand on your own two feet and recognize who you are and what you bring to the table, and that rejection is not about you. It was a very hard storyline to be part of; it hurt.' Lampert entertains the audience while tackling mental health in a unique way that doesn't feel heavy-handed or preachy and instead feels inclusive, respectful, and kind. 'The show's theme is that everyone is fighting a battle you can't see,' said Lampert in an interview before the new season's premiere. This has led to an audience connecting to the show on a deeper level. Lampert is dedicated to covering these topics accurately; she and her team have worked closely with Mental Health America since season one to craft these storylines. Season three premiered on June 5, and this show gets better with each season. The ten-episode third season is a rollercoaster ride, and the finale is phenomenal, with two cliffhangers in the last few seconds that will leave fans salivating at the bit for season four. The story centers around Brianne Howey's Georgia Miller, a mother who will do anything, moral or not, for her children. In a separate sit-down interview pegged to the third season, Howey and co-star Antonia Gentry spoke about how every character this season goes on a mental health journey. Felix Mallard, Brianne Howey, and other cast discussed the topic of mental health in season three of ... More Netflix's 'Ginny & Georgia.' When asked what she thinks Georgia's mental health issues might be, Howey replied carefully and admitted that her character suffers from a personality disorder. 'The show works very closely with Mental Health America to make sure that we aren't glorifying any of the wrong things and that we're handling all of these subjects with the utmost respect and care. I do think Georgia has narcissistic qualities. That being said, I think Georgia is the type of narcissist who is capable of change, and that's what has been really compelling this season to see for Georgia. Every character goes on a mental health journey. But yes, especially Ginny and Georgia.' To the fans anxiously waiting to see what happens next, the writers are back at work. 'The theme of season four is origins and cycles,' Lampert divulged, adding that though the original plan was to end Ginny & Georgia after four seasons, they realized there is more story to tell. 'We are not done yet.'

Georgia Man Thought He Was Meeting Wife for Romance, But Instead She'd Arranged His Murder
It was supposed to be a romantic rendezvous, but it turned out to be anything but. On February 14, 2010, 46-year-old Richard Schoeck drove to Belton Bridge Park in Lula, Georgia, to exchange Valentine's Day cards with his wife, Stacey Schoeck. But when he got out of his truck, he was hit by a barrage of gunfire. 'He's dead!' Stacey screamed in a recorded 911 call she made upon arriving at the remote wooded area in her car. Schoeck was shot five times. 'In the torso, once in the neck and once in the head,' said Woodrow Tripp, a former commander for the Hall County Sheriff's Office. 'All of the bullet wounds were in the front area of his body,' Tripp said in the 'My Deadly Valentine" episode of The Real Murders of Atlanta, airing Saturdays at 8/7c p.m. on Oxygen. Police determined that the shooting occurred between 8:45 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Schoeck still had his wallet, wedding ring and watch on him, so robbery was ruled out. 'There was no doubt that it was an intentional hit,' Tripp said. 'Richard never had a chance. He never saw it coming.' Georgia Woman Shoots Mom in Head, Then Returns To Do It Again: "Very Cruel" Two Friends Fatally Shot in Atlanta, and One Had Shocking Secret That Later Came Out Georgia Mom, 26, Fatally Shot in Head as She Slept Near Her Husband and Baby Three sets of tire tracks were found at the crime scene — one set from Schoeck's truck, another from Stacey's car, and a third from an unknown vehicle. Photographs and molds of treads at the scene were taken. 'We knew [the tracks were] going to lead us to whoever might have been involved with the death,' said Richard Trinkwalder, a now-retired investigator with the Hall County Sheriff's Office. That trail eventually led to a conspiracy whose mastermind shocked investigators. Manager at Tire Dealership Identifies Killer's Tracks Shortly after midnight on February 15, police interviewed Stacey. She said she'd met Schoeck three years earlier. He worked as a graphic artist in Atlanta. 'Stacey was attracted to his adventurous side,' said former WVEE news anchor Linda Looney. He flew hot air balloons, rode motorcycles and enthusiastically led Cub Scouts. 'His personality was such that he got along with everybody,' his friend Greg Gaugler told The Real Murders of Atlanta. Schoeck's first marriage ended in divorce with no children. Stacey had been married four previous times. She had three sons, ages 7 to 12 — two by her third husband and one by her fourth. 'Richard just took them in like they were his own,' Trinkwalder said. But the Schoecks had relationship issues. Stacey informed police that she was frustrated in her marriage. She'd been having an affair for six months with Juan Reyes, one of her co-workers at DeKalb Medical Center. Stacey claimed she was nowhere near the murder scene when her husband was killed, but said she had no idea where Reyes was during the shooting. Detectives learned that Reyes lived with his ex-wife, Jennifer, and their children in a rental property that Stacey owned. Stacey informed investigators that she'd told Reyes about her plans to meet her husband at the park on Valentine's Day. At 4 a.m. on February 15, detectives went to the residence Reyes shared with his family in Buford, Georgia, about 30 miles from the crime scene. Police knocked on doors and windows, but no one answered. The next morning, they found Reyes at his workplace and informed him of Schoeck's death. He agreed to come to the station for questioning. Reyes confirmed that the house that he and his family lived in was owned by Stacey. He admitted that he had met Schoeck a couple of times and denied any involvement in his girlfriend's husband's murder. Detectives asked about Reyes' whereabouts around the time of the homicide. 'We ate dinner at about 7:30,' he said in a recorded interview. 'By 10:30, I was in bed.' He also said he'd simply never heard police knock on the doors and windows of the house he lived in. Reyes' ex-wife confirmed his story. Investigators turned their attention to the evidence at the crime scene. 'The tire tracks were very significant in this case, because it was obvious from the scene that the person who did the murder arrived first,' said Lee Darragh, District Attorney for the N.E. Judicial Circuit in Georgia. 'Richard's truck went over the tire tracks of the person who was already at the scene.' A week into the investigation, police got a break. 'A manager at a tire dealership identified the third set of tracks, the killer's tracks, as Goodyear Integrity tires typically found on SUVs and trucks,' Looney said. Tires on vehicles belonging to Reyes and his ex-wife were not a match. They were eliminated as suspects. The investigation appeared to have stalled until police got a call from the IT department at the clinic where Stacey worked. During a routine maintenance check, a technician noticed that Stacey's email account had been wiped clean for February 12 to 14, which included the day of the murder. Detectives got a warrant for copies of the emails backed up on the server. The communications showed that Stacey had transferred $10,000 from her real estate account to the account of Lynitra Ross, a fellow employee also renting a house from her. The money was supposedly for home repairs. Police couldn't prove otherwise and looked for other leads. On March 24, investigators obtained a record of all cellular activity pinging off the remote tower near the park where Schoeck was killed on February 14. Records showed that Reginald Coleman, an Atlanta personal trainer who'd served time for violent crimes, connected with Ross at 8:40 p.m. that night. At the same time, there was a text message that Ross sent to Stacey that read, "Happy Valentine's Day." Detectives believed that was code signaling that the hit was done, Trinkwalder said. 'It looked like a hit funded by Stacey with the money funneled through Lynitra Ross to the triggerman Coleman,' Looney said. Detectives determined that Stacey had access to her grandparents' 2009 Chevrolet Impala. The tire tread on this vehicle was a match for the unidentified ones at the crime scene. Stacey, Ross and Coleman were arrested for murder. Investigators hoped for a confession from one of the conspirators. Stacey was the first to crack. She pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against her accomplices. Stacey claimed that in December of 2009, she'd complained to Ross about her unhappy marriage. Then, in January, she said she wanted Schoeck dead. Ross hooked her up with Coleman, according to The Real Murders of Atlanta. Stacey then explained that she lent Coleman her grandparents' Impala to use the night of the murder. She claimed she thought it was only going to be a robbery. But officials didn't buy that account. 'Stacy Schoeck is one of the most manipulative people I have ever met in my life,' said Darragh. 'She can tell a lie as easily as telling the truth.' RELATED: Where Are the People from Southern Fried Lies Now? All About Their Lives What was her motive for masterminding the hit? She claimed she feared that Schoeck was going to divorce her and get custody of her sons. Between May and November of 2012, all three conspirators were sentenced to life without the chance of parole. To learn more about the case, watch the 'My Deadly Valentine' episode of The Real Murders of Atlanta. The show airs new episodes on Saturdays at 8/7c p.m. on Oxygen.
