Sully’s Fate Revealed: Alive After Sullivan’s Crossing Fire Shocker

by

In Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing, now airing again on The CW, an important query arises: Did Sully perish in the diner fire, or is it that the Outpost must continue without him?

It’s possible that you may notice similarities between Sully and Scott Patterson’s most famous character, Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls, as both share certain traits. Both are set in their habits, reluctant to embrace change, yet deeply committed to their small communities. They serve as pillars of these towns, and the locals wouldn’t want them any other way.

Despite the chaotic turn of events following last season’s finale, it seems Sully found himself in grave danger after a fire erupted at a local diner, caused by Rob forgetting about a pot of chilli on the stove. The situation quickly escalated, leaving Maggie and Cal uncertain about their next steps.

In the debut of Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing, long-awaited clarifications are provided. Is it possible that Sully merely feigned death in the fire, or was this just a misleading hint? Be advised: potential spoilers lie ahead!

Did Sully die in Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3?

Despite the opening scene of Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3 not disclosing the details, it is evident that Sully managed to survive the flames and live on.

It’s uncertain whether upcoming Season 3 episodes will delve deeper into fire-related flashbacks, but considering that Rob’s insurance claim was denied, it appears highly probable.

In the midst of Maggie’s house move, there are discussions about Cal’s potential return. However, Sully’s intense coughing fit makes it difficult for him to converse clearly. He insists it’s just allergies, mentioning that a doctor had previously given him a clean bill of health.

Later on, it’s discovered that Maggie suffered a tragic loss due to the fire – she had miscarried her baby. In a separate discussion, Sully questions her decision to remain in The Crossing instead of Boston, suggesting things would have been different if he hadn’t visited the diner that fateful night. “It wasn’t your fault I lost the baby,” Maggie confesses, surprising everyone with this bombshell revelation.

During the course of the episode, Maggie grapples with her grief over her loss, learning about the tragic events from Edna while she was in the hospital. According to Edna, “the strain proved too intense for the baby,” leaving Maggie devastated. So far, Sully and Maggie haven’t spoken about it.

After the fire incident, it seems like Sully is feeling a strong urge to retire. His talks with Frank and Edna suggest this could be the case, but unexpectedly, a new guest named Helen rekindles his initial enthusiasm.

Another factor that prevents Sully from retiring is that a new development company has arrived in town, planning to build luxury resorts on the land. The first episode of Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing concludes with these developers chopping down trees and erecting signs, announcing their intentions as “Seaside Splendor” coming soon.

Fans knew Sully was alive before Season 3 started

It turns out, the information presented earlier wasn’t exactly surprising for the show’s fans as they already knew from the trailer that Sully would be alive when Season 3 began.

The surprise, initially planned for Season 3 Episode 1, was accidentally leaked due to pictures of Patterson being taken on set and a sneak peek trailer shared on social media platforms.

The photographs on their own might have been interpreted as additional flashbacks or scenes reinforcing the Season 2 cliffhanger; however, the trailer contradicted this assumption. Shortly after we reviewed the night of the fire, a scene shows Sully in good health, grappling with the construction of a high-end development nearby.

Hold up! It seems that Sully didn’t perish after all? (Spare the spoilers…)” and “Whoa, spoilers alert! Yet, I adore it!

Another person chimed in, “Wow! This suggests that Sullivan isn’t deceased!!! I had a feeling they wouldn’t write him out of the story… it just wouldn’t feel right without Sullivan around! It’s fantastic that Maggie is finally becoming more open with him!

It’s not surprising that Sullivan’s Crossing decided to keep their main character, Sully, alive. TV series like Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias usually avoid on-screen deaths or only mention them if they occurred off-screen or a long time ago. Killing a character in an unexpected accident is generally considered a taboo, so it’s understandable that the show wanted to hold onto its most recognizable name.

It’s clear that Sully has many events coming up in his life, and it won’t only be his personal storylines that will impact him. Prior to the fire, he confessed to Lola that he was responsible for the car accident which claimed her mother’s life a decade ago, and this is something that likely won’t be easily forgotten or resolved right away.

Every week, you can catch Sullivan’s Crossing on CTV and The CW.
