'A Million Little Things' Season 3: Eddie is alive, here's how he'll end up paralyzed when ABC show returns
'A Million Little Things' returns with its Season 3 later tonight. The hit ABC show had been away for a while leaving fans eager to know what happened after that cliffhanger Season 2 March ending. Eddie Saville (David Giuntoli) was on a call with his wife Katherine (Grace Park) when he is hit by a car. Fans were left heartbroken over the incident which left his life hanging by a thread as they were finally hoping for things to take a turn for the better of the Saville family. Whether he is alive and well or not, only the premiere tonight can tell.
We can tell you what fans, "doubt they'd kill him off at this point" expect - "It'd be interesting if they do a lost limb or organ donation angle."
Eddie's Season 2 arc was quite something. From his marital problems with Katherine at the beginning of the season because of his affair with Delilah (Stéphanie Szostak) and the ensuing chaos to battling alcoholism and addiction and finally, a little secret that threatened to ruin everything - Eddie has been through some really hard time. But what can a man do when he is down on luck? Can he place bets without care?
Eddie and Katherine, following the tumultuous period in their relationship, were looking at restarting their marriage. This time, they were going to be better partners to each other. Well, this promise was mostly from Eddie's end because if anything, Katherine has always been a truthful and honest wife and mother to their son Theo (Tristan Byon). But when he meets with that accident, things start looking downhill.
However, the official synopsis of episode 1, which is titled 'hit & run', don't quite clearly mention that he's not okay. "In the aftermath of Eddie's car accident, Katherine leans on their beloved group of friends for support," the synopsis read. Episode 2, which is titled 'Writings on the Wall', doesn't tease any harm on Eddie as Katherine and Theo "learn to adapt to their new life" following the accident.
This has got several fans of the show wondering Eddie's quality of life following the accident. "I'm going to guess he lives but ends up disabled somehow, perhaps wheelchair-bound. Or with a long recovery requiring intense PT, which will lead to depression and relapse with his addiction," another fan added. Another fan points out how the possibilities are endless. "Shall we have a "what happens to Eddie?" betting pool? Will he be paralyzed for two episodes and miraculously recover by the end of the season? Good ol' fashioned amnesia where Katherine has to win him back? Prescription for opioid pills where he just can't stop taking them?" But, given the nature of the show, we can't help sense the sarcasm in their tone.
Either way, if you were concerned about his alive-or-dead status, you need not be, because there's no doubt that Eddie is returning tonight. "We couldn't imagine saying goodbye to David Giuntoli," he had said in a recent chat. 'A Million Little Things' returns on Thursday, November 19, 2020, at 10 pm on ABC.
