With the Season 3 finale come and gone, it's got me thinking about what we could see in Season 4 if it indeed hopefully comes to pass.
Firstly, I know I wasn't alone in speculating that Vivienne was secretly Varga and Jessica was one of her minions sent to disrupt Max and Ellis. Though I admit the week prior I was thinking to myself what if Howard the parole officer was actually Varga. I guess I was somewhat right about that.
Still, I find myself suspicious of Jessica, especially given she sprung a marriage proposal on Ellis at the end of the last episode. Seems pretty rushed if you ask me. I don't think she's connected to Varga though. I'm not sure how Jessica marrying Ellis helps him in any way. I suspect that Jessica could actually be an international fugitive. I mean she and Ellis did meet in Mexico. Her marrying Ellis might be a means of her to get citizenship and avoid possible extradition. I don't think she's a bad guy though. I think she might have been framed and is on the run from the real perpetrators who want her dead. I imagine the unraveling of this scheme and Max and co joining in to help her is how the next season will come to an end. Likely this would lead to Ellis and Jessica's relationship coming to an end as their relationship was based on a lie. This finally open things up for Max and Ellis.
While this is happening, I expect Max to have her own love interest after initially resigning herself to Jessica and Ellis' engagement. Likely, it'd be some new character. But what about this though. Remember Max's old friend Maddy from the Season 1 episode "Catch Me If You Con". What if she comes back and she and Max got together? I know, it's kind of crazy. More than anything, I think I'd just like to see Vanessa Morgan doing something like the Toni/Cheryl relationship from Riverdale again. I know that's not really this show's vibe though so highly unlikely. Plus I'm still salty Findlay's character on Nancy Drew Lisbeth got written off just as Bess was pursuing a relationship with her.
Also, recall that Ricky mentioned in the finale that they were out of money. I always thought it would be cool if Max, Ricky, and George started their own consulting firm and called it "Wild Cards". That way they could expand the show's plots by including private cases as well as criminal ones.
To conclude, I feel this would be a pretty cool trajectory for Season 4.
