Sullivan’s Crossing isn’t going to make Maggie’s marriage to Liam easy to end.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive clip from the Monday, April 27, episode of the hit series, Maggie (Morgan Kohan) checks in with Cal (Chad Michael Murray) about helping to “fix” her situation with Liam (Marcus Rosner).
“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,” Cal tells Maggie, who is visibly upset by the news. “It’s no big deal. It will work out.”
Maggie fires back that it is a big deal to her, adding, “An annulment meant the marriage never happened. A divorce means I was actually married.”
Despite the roadblock, Cal convinces Maggie not to worry.
“Look at the bright side, at least you don’t have to find a lawyer,” he jokes while referring to his past career. “Just breathe. It will be OK, I promise.”
Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing initially hinted at Maggie’s ex when she mentioned Liam to Lola (Amalia Williamson) as a summer fling she had met before finishing medical school. After a meet-cute during a trip abroad, Maggie and Liam fell out of touch.
Liam was brought up again when Cal found letters Maggie had written to Liam explaining why their relationship couldn’t work long-term because she wanted to prioritize her career.
The rest of the season focused on Maggie and Cal’s relationship. Despite them not being an official couple, they faced several challenges, including Cal reconnecting with his estranged father, who was battling a terminal illness.
After Maggie supported Cal through the difficult reunion, they returned to Sullivan’s Crossing, where he asked her to move in with him. They started planning their future just as the season came to an end, which is when a guest who checked in earlier that day revealed himself to be Liam. He then shocked Cal by referring to himself as Maggie’s husband.
Kohan previously teased the surprise twist, telling Swoon in July 2025, “I remember hearing a little bit [about Liam early in season 3]. I didn’t know they were married. There started to be talk when we filmed the scene with Lola and having summer flings. I knew that he was going to be coming into it, but I didn’t really know when or in what capacity. That cliffhanger was so much fun for me to read as well.”
The actress acknowledged that Maggie’s trepidation about getting serious with Cal could have come from her past 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,” she added.

Kohan noted that she was just as in the dark about Liam’s role in season 4 as the audience.
“At the same time, I still don’t know the history, so who knows when we get to find out a bit more of that information, what he really means that he’s her husband and all that kind of stuff,” she continued. “I mean, 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.”
Sullivan’s Crossing is currently streaming on Netflix. Season 4 airs on The CW Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
