In Season 2 things pick up pretty much right where we left off last year, with Frankie in a guilt-spiraling turmoil over sleeping with gay former husband Sol as the two attempted to pack up their old house together. The guilt is eating away at Sol, too, but he can’t bring himself to come clean when fiancé Robert is found keeled over in the kitchen after a heart attack.

Their only twist on Matthew McConaughey’s tortured musings would be that they want the circle to continue; instead of feeling trapped in a constant loop of pain, they’d look for ways to keep things spinning.
