Morgan is about to find out some things she didn’t know about the man she shared her life with, the man she had a child with. Morgan is someone who notices everything, all the details, but we all have blind spots, right? As the season goes on, we’ll start to unlock some things about who this person was and what he might have been doing that she wasn’t aware of.
[It’s] Less about Morgan still being in love with a guy who might be gone forever, and more about her daughter. She can see that Ava has this dark cloud over her head about not knowing. The 15-year-old girl has created a pretty sour image of her birth father, and that’s what’s driving Morgan. It’s getting the answers that hopefully provide closure, not just for herself, but more importantly for her daughter.
