Firefly Lane season 2 is back to reveal why longtime friends Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate (Sarah Chalke) broke up and are no longer on speaking terms. When drama returns with the first part of its second and final season, it will continue flashing back to the late 1970s as teen Tully (Ali Skovbye) and teen Kate (Roan Curtis) get into various adventures and scrapes.

The show will also return to the 1980s, when the young adult friends are juggling their careers and romances. Kate starts a relationship with Johnny (Ben Lawson), whom she eventually marries, has a daughter with and then divorces.
Meanwhile, Tully goes on to become a wildly successful Oprah-like talk show show host. In Firefly Lane season 2, Kate will grapple with the painful aftermath of Johnny's trip to Iraq to cover the war.
