Let’s be real: killing Sully would be like killing the heart of Sullivan’s Crossing. He’s the grumpy yet lovable glue that holds the town together. Plus, the chemistry with Maggie (played by the fabulous Morgan Kohan) is too juicy to burn to a crisp. The writers know we’d riot—and not the polite Canadian kind of riot, either.
Sullivan's Crossing Season 1 Episode 9 Review: Can't Help Falling
Think about it: if Sully died, who would fix his own roof in a storm? Who would stare dramatically into the forest while wearing a plaid shirt? Nobody. He’s irreplaceable, like that one friend who always brings snacks to the party. So, the fire is just a setup for tension, not a funeral.
What About the Aftermath?
After the fire, Sully gets a few gnarly burns and a lot of emotional baggage. The show spends two episodes dealing with his recovery—physically and mentally. He has a moment where he considers selling the lodge, but c’mon, we know he won’t. He’s too stubborn to let a little fire chase him out of his own family history.
And here’s the best part: the fire actually strengthens his relationship with Maggie. They have this heartfelt conversation in a hospital room where he admits he’s scared of losing her. It’s sweet, it’s corny, and I ate it up with a spoon. The fire is a catalyst, not a conclusion.
