'Sullivan's Crossing' Season 3: Letters lead to heartbreak for Scott Patterson's Sully, questions for Chad Michael Murray and Morgan Kohan
We left Sullivan's Crossing with Cal (Chad Michael Murray) and Maggie (Morgan Kohan) agreeing to move in together, but there's plenty more relationship drama sparked in Season 3, Episode 7. While some couples get closer, some fall apart, including a particularly heartbreaking moment for Sully (Scott Patterson) and Helen (Kate Vernon). But this week's episode of Sullivan's Crossing picks up right where we left off, with Jacob (Joel Oulette) and Lola (Amalia Williamson) stuck in the mine, trying to figure out a way to get out. But more importantly, they're frantically looking for Jacob's backpack, which has his blood sugar kit that he urgently needs. Eventually Edna (Andrea Menard), Frank (Tom Jackson), Maggie and Sully realize Lola and Jacob are missing. While the search and rescue team is looking for them, Jacob loses consciousness from diabetic shock, as Lola tries to retrieve his backpack, stuck under the rubble. Once Maggie and Cal make it to the mine, they help get Jacob's backpack to Lola, and Maggie walks her through what to use in Jacob's kit. Luckily, he regains consciousness. But just when we think everything is OK, the mine collapses again while Cal and Rafe (Dakota Taylor) are still there, injuring Cal. Once they're home, Lola opens up to Jacob about her accident when she was a kid and her hard path to recovery, including learning how to walk again, and she reassures Jacob that he doesn't need to feel bad about what happened in the mine. Lola and Jacob are very much a couple now, spending an intimate evening together, a first for Lola. Unfortunately, while Lola and Jacob are solidifying their relationship, that's not the case for everyone at the Crossing. Sully tells Maggie he likes Helen "a lot." He even found a ballroom dancing class for them to take, but Helen has to take a rain check the deal with important book work. When Frank probes Sully about how it feels that Maggie is moving out, he says he wants her to be happy. Adding that for the first time in a long time, he's happy himself. But when Sully goes back to see Helen, she's checked out of the Crossing, just leaving a note behind. "Something important came up and I had to cut my trip short. Tried looking for you, but you weren't around. Leaving you a copy of my book so you can see how it ends," the letter reads. "I knew she had to head home sometime, I just wasn't expecting it to be so soon," Sully tells Frank. It's a heartbreaking moment for Sully. Even though Maggie and Cal have just reconciled, things take an awkward turn by the end of the episode. While Cal is hosting a poker night, Maggie gets a call asking her to consult on a patient presenting neurological symptoms. Even though she's not licensed to practice in Nova Scotia, the patient has agreed for Maggie to consult. At the poker game, Cooper (Steve Lund) addresses the rumour that he's on probation because at his previous station, he punched someone in the face. Cooper confirmed that he punch a good friend at his home, because he found him hooking up with his wife. As the poker game comes to an end, Cal sees a piece of paper fall out of a book he knocks over, and it's a letter from Maggie to Liam, the summer fling she had in Europe, which she told Lola about in Episode 5. "I don't know where you are right now or where to send this letter. I'm writing it anyway hoping it can give me some closure. I need you to know that I've never felt like this about anyone before. I realize now that it never would have worked out because even though I love you, my career needs to come first. Being a doctor is who I am and it's who I'll always be. I hope you can understand. Love, Maggie," the letter reads. As Cal is reading the letter, we find out that the patient Maggie was called in to see is Glenn (Dean Armstrong), who's experiencing dizziness and nausea, in addition to drowsiness, tremor and tingling in his hands and feet. While Maggie tries to leave when she sees it's Glenn, we ultimately see her staying at the hospital, trying to treat her father's enemy.

‘A Shared Language': Inside Country Music's Rap Revival
It's no coincidence that the two songs tied for most weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 toe the line between country and rap. Lil Nas X set the record with his Billy Ray Cyrus-featuring 'Old Town Road' in 2019, and late last year, Shaboozey tied the record when 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' hit the same 19-week mark. 'Country and rap might come from different worlds, but they thrive on the same foundation — raw storytelling and authenticity,' UnitedMasters director of A&R Aaron Hunter says. More from Billboard BigXthaPlug's Texas-Sized Charm Is Beloved By Country's Biggest Stars — And Coming to Nashville Kneecap Announce Massive Wembley Arena Headline Show Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U.K.' Tour Dates Hybrids of country and hip-hop have a long history in popular music, dating back to the 1980s including hits like Sir-Mix-A-Lot's 'Square Dance Rap,' Kool Moe Dee's 'Wild Wild West' and Shawn Brown's 'Rappin' Duke' (which The Notorious B.I.G. sampled in 'Juicy' a decade later). This year has brought an even bigger boom of successful crossovers between the genres. Post Malone's Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll — two artists with roots in hip-hop now making country music — has so far featured special guests including Eminem and Quavo. Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug teamed with Bailey Zimmerman for 'All the Way,' a top five hit on the Hot 100, while ERNEST and Snoop Dogg released their country collaboration, 'Gettin' Gone.' On the festival front, the country-heavy Stagecoach was more rap-inclusive in 2025, with Nelly and T-Pain playing to major audiences. Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen's Sand in My Boots Festival had Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz and Three 6 Mafia onstage. 'Both genres share the same theme of heartbreak, life stories and struggle, whether it's rural life or urban hustle, and that grit creates a natural connection,' Hunter says. He also points to the rising use of trap drums and 808s in country and rap, which has 'blurred lines, making collaborations feel less forced and more like a shared language.' BigXthaPlug will follow the success of 'All the Way' with a country-trap project this summer that will include guest appearances from Jelly Roll, Post Malone and Shaboozey. Even though the Dallas native never listened to country music growing up, he has felt a warm welcome from the Nashville community. 'My fan base is the country world's fan base,' he says. 'They was messing with me, [but] now it's a full acceptance.' This story appears in the May 31, 2025, issue of Billboard.
