In the latest twist on Sullivan’s Crossing, Maggie’s life is thrown into turmoil after an unexpected revelation about her past marriage. In a shocking turn of events, Maggie, played by Morgan Kohan, discovers that she must get a divorce from her secret husband, Liam, after a five-year statute of limitations is revealed by a lawyer. This news comes in the exclusive sneak peek from the April 27 episode of the series, shared by Us Weekly.

Maggie had been navigating the ups and downs of her romantic life, but nothing could prepare her for the bombshell that would hit her relationship with Liam. In the clip, Maggie seeks advice from Cal, portrayed by Chad Michael Murray, about how to resolve her situation with Liam. Cal, who has become a source of support for Maggie throughout the series, calmly explains to her, “I spoke with the lawyer’s office, and I am afraid you are going to have to file for divorce. There is a five-year time limit on refiling.”

Maggie is visibly upset by the news, and her distress is palpable as she responds to Cal, insisting that this is indeed a big deal to her. “An annulment meant the marriage never happened. A divorce means I was actually married,” Maggie replies, expressing the gravity of the situation. Her reaction highlights the emotional toll the revelation has on her, as she grapples with the reality of being legally married to someone she has not been in contact with for years. Despite Maggie’s emotional turmoil, Cal tries to ease her worries by reassuring her, “Look at the bright side, at least you don’t have to find a lawyer. Just breathe. It will be OK, I promise.”

The situation that Maggie finds herself in is far more complex than just legal paperwork. Her past with Liam, which was hinted at earlier in season 3, now comes rushing back into her life, forcing her to confront a chapter she thought was long behind her. During the earlier episodes, Maggie had casually mentioned Liam to her friend Lola as a summer fling she had encountered before finishing medical school. Their relationship was brief but significant, and after a fateful meeting abroad, Maggie and Liam lost touch. It seemed like a harmless, distant memory, but it would soon resurface in the most unexpected way.

The mystery surrounding Maggie and Liam was deepened when Cal discovered letters Maggie had written to Liam, in which she explained why their relationship could not work in the long term. Maggie had prioritized her career over her personal life, a decision that ultimately led to the end of their brief romance. Maggie’s decision to move forward with her life and career became a defining moment for her, but the appearance of Liam later in the season would force her to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past.

While Maggie’s romantic life took center stage, the series also explored Cal’s personal struggles, including his strained relationship with his estranged father, who was battling a terminal illness. Maggie supported Cal through these challenges, helping him navigate his difficult emotions during the reunion with his father. This support system brought Maggie and Cal closer together, and by the end of the season, they were making plans for their future together. Just when it seemed like everything was falling into place, a surprise guest checked into Sullivan’s Crossing and dropped a bombshell on the couple.

Liam’s sudden reappearance at the end of the season caught Maggie and Cal off guard. Liam, who had been mentioned in passing earlier in the season, now revealed himself as Maggie’s husband, a revelation that shocked both Cal and the audience. This unexpected twist turned the tables on Maggie’s blossoming relationship with Cal, introducing a new level of complexity to their bond.

Morgan Kohan, who portrays Maggie, spoke about the surprise twist in an interview with Swoon in July 2025. Kohan admitted that she was just as unaware of Liam’s true role in the story as the viewers were, describing the moment as one of the most exciting cliffhangers she had read. She shared that the moment she learned about Liam’s role in season 4, she had no idea when or how it would unfold. “That cliffhanger was so much fun for me to read as well,” Kohan said. “I knew he was going to be coming into it, but I didn’t really know when or in what capacity.”

For Maggie, the secret marriage to Liam adds layers of hesitation and confusion to her developing relationship with Cal. The emotional weight of keeping such a significant part of her past hidden could explain Maggie’s reluctance to fully commit to Cal. Kohan explained that Maggie’s uncertainty about getting serious with Cal is likely rooted in her history with Liam. “I feel like it came up so last minute that I didn’t really have time to think about it, but I think it definitely would. It makes a lot more sense, for sure, for her to be more hesitant,” Kohan noted.

As the season progresses, Maggie will be forced to confront her past with Liam and figure out how to navigate her future with Cal. Kohan added that Maggie’s emotional journey will require rebuilding trust with Cal, as the revelation of her secret marriage will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on their relationship. “There’s gonna have to be a few conversations had [between Maggie and Cal]. It’s going to be a trust thing to have to build up again because that is a pretty big thing to leave out.”

Season 4 of Sullivan’s Crossing is set to delve deeper into Maggie’s personal struggles and the complicated love triangle that now involves her, Cal, and Liam. The series continues to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, as Maggie faces a crossroads in her love life and must navigate the challenges of her past while planning a future with the man she has grown close to.

Sullivan’s Crossing is currently available for streaming on Netflix, and new episodes of Season 4 air on The CW every Monday at 8 p.m. ET. Fans of the show can expect more twists, turns, and emotional drama as the complex relationships unfold in the coming weeks.
