Apple TV’s ‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Finale Turns Its Last 2 Minutes Into an Even Bigger Season 3 Problem
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Last Thing He Told Me, Season 2, Episode 8
Summary
After last week’s episode of The Last Thing He Told Me made its boldest move yet by killing off Frank Campano (John Noble) in broad daylight, the Season 2 finale finds that the power that once held this world together has officially shifted. Whatever fragile balance was left in keeping Hannah (Jennifer Garner), Owen (Nikolaj Coster–Waldau), and their daughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) safe is now in the hands of Quinn (Judy Greer), the eldest daughter of the late mafioso. It’s a turning point that doesn’t just raise the stakes but reframes the kind of danger the family of three initially found themselves in.
As Episode 8’s “Souvenirs d’enfance” highlights a potential Season 3, that shift feeds directly into the show’s biggest emotional reveal that Quinn was actually responsible for Kate’s death. But as co-creator Josh Singer tells Collider, it was far more complicated and unsettling than just a calculated murder. “There are no real bad guys, right? There are humans who make mistakes, and they’re not mistakes that are made out of malice,” he says, making it clear the distinction was always intentional. “They’re mistakes that are made out of some self-interest, but it’s never just pure evil. It’s always relatable and understandable.”
And with Quinn now firmly in power by the end — effectively taking the reins as Teddy (Luke Kirby) spirals, and with the reveal that Director of the U.S. Marshals Maris (Michael Hyatt) was the mole all along — the finale also leaves the door wide open for a Season 3. It’s a possibility series EP Lauren Neustadter, bestselling author Laura Dave, and Singer are clearly already thinking about.
“If we were to have the opportunity to dive into a third season, I would say the Judy and Luke show’s a pretty good show, right?” Singer says turning to Neustadter and his wife, Dave. “How does our relationship between our primary cast, Hannah, Owen, and Bailey, evolve? What happens with Judy and with Quinn and Luke, and what havoc they wreak? And can we ever get to a resolve with these guys — I think, is a good question.”
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Made Quinn’s Kate Twist More Complicated Than Pure Evil
Co-creator, Singer explains why Apple TV’s finale frames Quinn’s secret as a human mistake, not a clean act of malice.
COLLIDER: I wanted to start with the finale, because I think that’s where everything culminates to what this moment is. We also see that Quinn is a big part of it. She does admit the biggest secret, which is that she sent the car to scare Kate, but not really kill her. So why was it important for Kate’s death to come from control gone wrong, and not just pure evil or malicious intent?
JOSH SINGER: That is a great question. Thank you very much. Wow, I didn’t expect that level of detail. That is really terrific. And can I just say, first of all, how great are Jen [Garner], Angourie [Rice], and Judy Greer in that scene? To me, that and all the stuff we shot in Paris was really a pinnacle for me in terms of TV work. I was just saying that I don’t think I’ve seen performances that good since I was just starting out on The West Wing, watching John Spencer and Allison Janney going toe to toe.
Look, I have to say, this whole season was really about how do we keep to the spirit of Laura Dave and yet breathe into, “This is a television show?” That’s where we had Aaron Zelman and Daisy Mayer, who really helped push this in terms of what it could be as a TV show, and yet we had our really good friends at Hello Sunshine and Jen Garner pushing us to make sure we kept true to the spirit of Hannah Hall.
To me, one of the things that’s a hallmark of my wonderful wife’s writing is that there are no real bad guys, right? There are humans who make mistakes, and they’re not mistakes that are made out of malice. They’re mistakes that are made out of some self-interest, but it’s never just pure evil. It’s always relatable and understandable. She puts herself in everyone’s point of view. So, for me to specifically answer that question, for Quinn to just knock off her best friend would be against the spirit of what Laura does in her writing and, frankly, the spirit of what Hello Sunshine tries to do in terms of telling stories of strong women who are relatable and sometimes put in bad situations. Does that make sense?
LAUREN NEUFSTADTER: It makes perfect sense. I also think it’s really that we are giving dimension to every single one of these characters, and I think Quinn wasn’t always the woman that she is when we meet her in this show. To Laura and Josh’s great credit, they really think about all of the ingredients that lead us to the place where we are. So, while she makes very clear choices in the present, clearly they’re very informed by the events of the past, and this is a great example of just that.
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Finale Sets Up a Much Bigger Quinn Story for Season 3
Dave says the next chapter could lean into how Quinn and Hannah are more alike than they seem.
After Frank’s death, though, we do see that Quinn lets Hannah and Bailey go, but she makes that call about loose ends to Maris, who we find out is the mole, by the way. Very shocking. I did not think about that. What did you guys want that last beat to say about the world Hannah and Owen’s family will find themselves in now, going into a potential Season 3, which I’m hoping for, fingers crossed? It feels like we’re going to get there.
SINGER: Fingers crossed, as well. That’s very kind of you. What I would say is one of the things we were able to do, and Lauren’s been saying, is open the aperture up a little bit in the second season. We got a great supporting cast, whether it’s Michael Hyatt, who’s extraordinary as Maris, Judy, Luke Kirby, John Noble, Rita Wilson, all these wonderful people to play with in addition to our tremendous key cast of David [Morse], Nikolaj [Coster-Waldau], Angourie, and Jen. So, to me, if we were to have the opportunity to dive into a third season, I would say the Judy and Luke show’s a pretty good show, right? So, continue to be able to explore that. As is the Angourie and David show, as is the Jen and Nikolaj show. So, being able to follow how does our relationship between our primary cast, Hannah, Owen, and Bailey, evolve? What happens with Judy and with Quinn and Luke, and what havoc they wreak? And can we ever get to a resolve with these guys, I think, is a good question.
Laura, I wonder, was there ever a hell for Maris, or along the way were there breadcrumbs that you had in the book that you wanted to plant in the background as nuances? Was there anything that maybe is very obvious to you as the writer, thinking it that way?
LAURA DAVE: Well, I can take absolutely no credit for the Maris storyline. That was something that the writers of Season 2 came up with. What I did really want to lean into, and to answer your question also about Season 3 a little bit, is what I really wanted to lean into here. I really appreciate how you mentioned that about Quinn, because I’m always interested in what makes us similar as opposed to what makes us different, and this idea that evil and goodness aren’t as far apart as they seem if it both starts from the place of wanting to get somewhere better, and how we find the nuance there. So, I think really for Season 3, too, it would be leaning into many ways that Quinn and Hannah are more alike than they are different. That wasn’t a question about Maris, but I can’t answer your questions about Maris. [Laughs] I can’t answer that. I can only say they did a wonderful job.
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Bosses Explain Why Grady Had To Die
Singer says Grady’s death was meant to hit hard — and his story may not be over just yet.
It’s great. Going back to Episode 4, finding out that Grady got killed off, that whole case starts to get really murky. Do we see justice for Grady down the line? He was opening a can of worms. Did you want to break that trust in the system early on in the mid-season point? What does that unlock then for a potential storyline with whatever comes next in Season 3?
SINGER: It was very bittersweet because Augusto [Aguilera] was so great, and was so great in the first season, and yet Aaron and I very quickly were like, “Well, we’ve got to kill him off.” And it was in part because he’s someone you love. So the idea of losing him really hitting home, like this is real. These stakes are real. One of the interesting things about where we might go in a potential Season 3 is, as we see with Hannah and Owen and Bailey and Nicholas, they’re in such a good place, and Charlie, that they wouldn’t stir stuff up necessarily on their own. But if we know that Quinn and Teddy are going to stir stuff up, and you know that Teddy is going to stir stuff up, then it’s going to go both ways. I think finding justice for Augusto’s character would be a nice thing to explore in Season 3.
This season also reshaped what Bailey thinks she knows about her mom and her family, and then we get to see a mess that follows. Did you ever consider giving her just a cleaner truth, or was that mess supposed to be the point, like it’s supposed to be realistic?
SINGER: Again, as I think I said earlier on, and I think Hello Sunshine responded to this too, was when we started being able to play with different pairings, when we started being able to have Hannah and Owen go off on their own, and Bailey off on her own journey, specifically with talking to Nicholas and then talking to Quinn, there’s something really interesting. And Gary is such a strong actor, which is something we saw in the first season. She could carry the ball right. When you’ve got a great running back, you give her the ball. And she really did run with that ball. It just enabled us to really widen the aperture, as Lauren said, to enrich this drama. But of course, you always want it to be messy, and I think that’s, again, the great thing about Laura’s writing is it is messy in the best of ways. It’s human as opposed to mustache-twirly.
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ Never Lost Sight of Hannah Hall’s Story, Dave Says
The NYT bestselling author says the story’s throughline is simple: second chances and becoming your own hero.
Laura, was there a scene from the book this season that you wanted to circle around a lot, and you were like, “This is the one scene we can’t mess up that we have to have in the series?” Was there something that the show version did that the page didn’t do, like back and forth?
DAVE: Well, something that was so lovely because we’ve been partners in this from the very beginning is that we had this idea. We had a conversation in our backyard with Lauren about the idea of, like, what are the bright lines? What are the things that are going to make sure that the show and the book are really speaking to each other? And that is really this idea of getting to the place of how do we all get a second chance, which I think is something in the zeitgeist that we’re all hungry for right now? How do we get to a place where we can find forgiveness, where we can get somewhere better for all of these characters?
One of my very favorite scenes is between the inimitable Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer in Episode 8, where you first see that fight, and then where you get, as Josh and Lauren were just talking about, that resolution with Angourie and Jennifer and Judy. The other thing that I did want to mention is, and it’s funny how things all come back, but when I started writing this first book, it was 2011, but I started thinking about it all the way back in 2003 — Lauren knows this story. The two things that really mattered to me were an interview I saw with Linda Lay, in which she was talking about how her husband had done nothing wrong, and an interview I saw with Reese Witherspoon in which she was quoting Gloria Steinem and how important it is for women to watch other women become the hero of their own lives. For all three of us up here, if I can say that, that is really what’s at the heart of this, and what would be at the heart of it moving forward, is that Hannah Hall is the hero of her own life, and everything revolves around that.

“When I saw what we had done, I actually think we arrived at something more elegant and a little bit more restrained,” Wyle admitted of the final product.
President Donald Trump clarified that he did not suggest to wife Melania Trump to make a statement about Jeffrey Epstein — but approved of her making one.
“I said, ‘If you want to do that, you can do that.’ I said if she wants to do it — I didn’t recommend it, but … I let it be her, I said, if you want to do it,” Donald, 79, said in an interview with the New York Times on Friday, April 10.
The president also clarified that Melania “didn’t meet me through Jeffrey Epstein.”
“I could understand her feelings,” he said. “But I said, ‘If you want to do it, do it.’”
First lady Melania Trump surprised many when she released a statement denying any connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — including her husband, President Donald Trump. Following Melania’s Thursday, April 9, statement to the press, MS NOW reported that they had a “brief phone call” with the president, 79, where he allegedly told the […]
Donald shared that he and his wife’s conversation about making the statement “wasn’t a big discussion.”
“I’d say it lasted for about two minutes,” he explained. “I had no problem. I thought she actually did a good job.”
Melania made headlines on Thursday, April 9, when she addressed speculation about her and her husband’s connection to Epstein. (The disgraced billionaire was convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Prior to his 2019 death by suicide, Epstein was awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors.)
“[The rumors] with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” Melania said during a Thursday, April 9, press conference at the White House. “The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect. I do not object to their ignorance but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.”
Melania claimed that she had “never been friends” with Epstein.
“Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been circulating on social media for years now. Be cautious about what you believe. These images and stories are completely false,” she continued. “I am not a witness or a named witness in connection with any of Epstein’s crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter.”
The first lady clarified that she and Donald Sr., who wed in 2005 and share son Baron 20, were previously “invited to many of the same parties as Epstein” but she “never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice [Ghislaine] Maxwell.” (Donald Sr. is also father to Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany Trump.)
First lady Melania Trump stunned observers on April 9, 2026, when she held an impromptu press conference at the White House to deny any connection to late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and to reject rumors that Epstein introduced her to her husband, President Donald Trump. What Melania Trump Said During Her Rare Public […]
Epstein and those who have been accused of being in his inner circle have been a hot topic in recent years due to the Department of Justice’s investigation into him. The government body has been releasing Epstein’s alleged correspondence — also known as the Epstein Files — as part of an FBI investigation into his actions.
Trump later told the Times on Friday that he doesn’t “mind anything having to do with Epstein.”
“The only thing I don’t like is, I waste a lot of time having to talk about it,” he told the outlet.
15 of Epstein’s victims spoke out against Melania’s remarks in a Thursday statement, “Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice. It also diverts attention from [former attorney general] Pam Bondi, who must answer for withheld files and the exposure of survivors’ identities.”

Here’s where the HBO drama left Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and more back in 2022.
First lady Melania Trump stunned observers on April 9, 2026, when she held an impromptu press conference at the White House to deny any connection to late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and to reject rumors that Epstein introduced her to her husband, President Donald Trump.
What Melania Trump Said During Her Rare Public Address
“[The rumors] with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” Melania Trump said in a statement to the press on April 9, 2026. “The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect. I do not object to their ignorance but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.”
The first lady claimed she had “never been friends” with Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. (He was previously convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution.)
She acknowledged that she and husband President Donald Trump “were invited to many of the same parties as Epstein from time to time” but insisted she “never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice [Ghislaine] Maxwell.”

Melania said she first “crossed paths” with Epstein in 2000 at an event she attended with her husband and that she “had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings” at the time. She also acknowledged replying to an email from Maxwell but dismissed it as nothing significant.
“My polite reply to her email doesn’t amount to anything more than a trivial note,” she stated. “I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance at a New York City party in 1998. This initial encounter with my husband is documented in detail in my book, Melania.”
She added that “numerous fake images and statements” about her and Epstein have been circulating on social media and warned people to “be cautious about what you believe.”
“I am not a witness or a named witness in connection with any of Epstein’s crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter,” she said.
President Trump Apparently Had No Idea Melania Was Going to Speak Out
Melania Trump’s speech appeared to catch the White House unaware. Following her remarks, MS NOW reported that the outlet had a “brief phone call” with President Donald Trump, who allegedly told them he had no prior knowledge of his wife’s plans to speak out on the topic. The publication alleged that “many” White House staffers were also “caught off guard” by Melania’s impromptu statement.
The president, however, backed his wife’s claims, telling MS NOW, “She didn’t know [him].”
Jeffrey Epstein’s Victims Push Back
Melania Trump’s speech drew a swift response from Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, who took particular issue with a portion where the first lady encouraged victims to give sworn testimony to Congress in a public hearing.
“Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice,” a statement signed by 15 Epstein survivors read on April 9, 2026. “It also diverts attention from [former Attorney General] Pam Bondi, who must answer for withheld files and the exposure of survivors’ identities.” Their statement concluded, “[Bondi’s] failures continue to put lives at risk while shielding enablers. Survivors have done their part. Now it’s time for those in power to do theirs.”
The survivors also echoed criticisms that the Justice Department’s release of the Epstein files was handled haphazardly, with identifying information left unredacted in some cases and other important documents allegedly never being published at all.
President Donald Trump confirmed on April 2 that Bondi was leaving her role as attorney general to take “a much-needed and important new job in the private sector,” though multiple media outlets reported that she was fired due to the president’s displeasure with her recent job performance.
Jimmy Kimmel Weighs In
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also weighed in during the April 9, 2026, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, questioning the timing of Melania Trump’s remarks.
“Why is this happening today?” Kimmel asked, making reference to President Donald Trump’s threats against Iran. “He spent the past six weeks trying to bomb this Epstein story out of the headlines. Two days after the ceasefire, she puts it right back on top.”
Kimmel wondered whether Melania did it on purpose, joking, “She must really hate him. I don’t know how else to explain it.”
President Donald Trump is taking aim at political podcasters like Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens after they criticized him amid the conflict in Iran. “I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful […]
He also referenced reports that White House officials were blindsided. “He didn’t know she was going to do it before she did it, which shows you just how smoothly things are running over there,” Kimmel added. “For whatever reason, she didn’t ask [her husband].”
He concluded: “She didn’t give him a heads-up. She just went right out in front of the cameras and fired away.”
Donald Trump Clarifies He Didn’t ‘Recommend’ Melania’s Statement
In an April 10 interview with the New York Times, Donald Trump explained he didn’t suggest for his wife to hold a press conference about Jeffrey Epstein, but was aware it was happening.
“I said, ‘If you want to do that, you can do that.’ I said if she wants to do it — I didn’t recommend it, but … I let it be her, I said, if you want to do it,” Donald, 79, said in an interview with the Times.
He added that he thought Melania “did a good job” while also confirming that his wife did not know Epstein.

The singers behind the fictional girl group — Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — recently won the Oscar for Best Original Song.
Residents in Los Angeles’ Holmby Hills neighborhood are reportedly uneasy amid speculation that Sean “Diddy” Combs could return home if his appeal succeeds.
Concerns center on potential disruptions, including loud gatherings and increased media attention associated with his property, which some locals note has previously drawn police visits.
The concerns come as Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team continues its appeal against his 50-month sentence, now under review by judges.
Holmby Hills Neighbors Concerned As Diddy Appeal Raises Possibility Of Return Home
Residents in the upscale Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles are reportedly growing anxious as speculation builds that Sean “Diddy” Combs could be released if an appeals court rules in his favor.
According to TMZ, sources familiar with the area revealed that chatter among neighbors has intensified in recent days, with concerns that a possible return home could bring renewed disruptions similar to those that allegedly contributed to his earlier legal troubles.
The unease isn’t just about media attention or increased security presence, as locals are also worried about the lifestyle activity linked to the property.
Insiders claim that past gatherings involving Diddy’s family were extremely loud at times, leading to repeated police call-outs, which unsettled parts of the community.
Separately, reports suggest that real estate agents in the area are already informing potential buyers about Combs’ nearby property, treating it as relevant disclosure information due to concerns it could affect property value or lead to future disputes if not mentioned.
The Rapper Appeals 50-Month Sentence, Challenges Trial Evidence As Judges Deliberate Decision
On the legal front, Diddy’s attorneys questioned his conviction, arguing that his 50-month sentence is excessive compared to typical penalties for Mann Act-related convictions, which they say often average closer to 15 months.
They also note that he has already served a significant portion of his sentence while the appeal is under review.
During the appeal proceedings, Diddy’s defense team referenced allegations involving Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, including claims of drug use that they say were excluded from the original federal trial.
They also brought up an incident described as a “hotel night,” a term linked to what they characterized as consensual encounters with an individual identified as “Jane,” which they argue did not involve coercion or threats. The defense has asked the court to issue a swift ruling, though no timeline has been provided for when a decision might be reached.
More About Diddy’s Conviction Under The Mann Act
Diddy was convicted last July on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act.
The charges centered on arranging travel for escorts to engage in sexual activity with his former partners, including Cassie and another woman who testified under the pseudonym “Jane.”
He was acquitted of the more serious allegations of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which prosecutors had argued involved coercion and abuse tied to a wider pattern of misconduct.
According to the indictment, authorities claimed Diddy pressured both women into sexual encounters with male escorts, sometimes involving drugs and extended multi-day sessions.
These encounters were referred to during the trial as “Freak Offs” and “hotel nights,” with prosecutors alleging they were at times recorded. Diddly denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty throughout the proceedings.
The Rapper’s 50-Month Jail Release Date Has Slightly Changed
In sentencing submissions, prosecutors sought a prison term of more than 11 years alongside the maximum $500,000 fine, while the defense requested a much lighter sentence of around 14 months.
Ultimately, in October, Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Diddy to 50 months in prison, which is about four years and two months, along with a fine and five years of supervised release.
Separately, the Bureau of Prisons has updated its projected release date. According to People Magazine, he is now scheduled for release on April 15, 2028, a slight change from earlier projections of April 25, 2028, and prior estimates of June 2028.
Where Is Diddy Serving Out His Prison Sentence?
Diddy is currently held at FCI Fort Dix, a federal correctional institution located on a military base near Philadelphia.
The rapper’s legal team had requested placement due to access to rehabilitation programs and proximity to family.
Since his arrest, several photos and videos of Diddy from inside Fort Dix have been shared online, revealing the music mogul interacting with other inmates and carrying out his prison duties, a huge contrast from his once glamorous lifestyle.

Forget ‘Marshals,’ Taylor Sheridan’s 102-Minute Western Is a Must-Watch Before It Leaves Netflix
There’s no shortage of Taylor Sheridan titles in the world now, and that’s part of what makes going back to Hell or High Water such a good reminder of where so much of this really started. Long before sprawling TV universes, ranch wars, and sheriffs trying to hold the line in a collapsing world, Sheridan delivered a lean, bruised, and deeply human crime story set against the dusty backdrop of West Texas. It doesn’t need big mythology or franchise sprawl to land. It just works. And for Netflix subscribers, the clock is now ticking.
Hell or High Water is leaving Netflix on May 1, which means there’s only a short window left to catch one of the best films Sheridan has ever written. Released in 2016 and directed by David Mackenzie, the neo-Western thriller earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Jeff Bridges, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. Nearly a decade later, it still holds up as one of the sharpest and most emotionally grounded modern Westerns of its era.
Chris Pine stars as Toby Howard, with Ben Foster as his volatile brother Tanner, while Jeff Bridges plays Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton and Gil Birmingham stars as his partner Alberto Parker. The film was Sheridan’s first foray into the world of neo-Westerns, and you can see the Yellowstone DNA running through it.
How Good Is ‘Hell or High Water’?
When it first hit theaters,Hell or High Water became both a critical darling and a modest box office success, grossing over $37 million worldwide. It earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Bridges, Best Original Screenplay for Sheridan, and Best Editing. On Rotten Tomatoes, it remains Certified Fresh with near-unanimous praise (97%) from critics and audiences alike.Collider’s review of the moviehailed the leads in Pine and Foster:
“This film lives and dies by the performances of the brothers. And they do not disappoint. Tanner could’ve been played as an over-the-top firecracker with an itchy trigger finger, but Foster smartly winds the violent coil down until its most absolutely necessary. Instead, Foster chooses to lay on a good-for-nothin’ charm that’s all mumbled confidence and acidic humor. And instead of simply having a short fuse, Foster adds the beats of frustration that both ignite that fuse, but also drive home the idea of brotherly love. As the other brother, Pine, who usually plays heroes, plays neither hero nor anti-hero. He is a man with a plan. He is measured.”
