Malco) disagreeing on whether to
have a child of their own; Maggie
(Allison Miller) and Gary (James
Roday) navigating a cancer-free
life together for the first time; and
PJ (Chandler Riggs) discovering
the true identity of his father.
And if that wasn’t enough, sea-
son 2 will find a mysterious figure
(Jason Ritter) “coming into the
world and threatening to shake
everything up,” all while the group
realizes that time doesn’t neces-
sarily help them move past their
friend’s death. “Life goes on and
yet you still have the reminders
and the absences,” shares Nash.
“In some ways, it’s harder. As our
friends pursue their lives, they
realize that the loss is still pro-
found and will always be a part of
the fabric of their lives. We don’t
see Ron Livingston as much as we
did in season 1, but Jon will be back
and he will be impacting their de-
termination to finally live life on
their terms.” —DEREK LAWRENCE

T HURSDAY
“Save the Date”
“It’s the episode where
Katherine and the whole
group find out about Eddie
and Delilah’s affair. A lot of
shows delay stuff like that,
but we made the decision
to bring it up and have that
bomb go off right away.”
“Christmas Wishlist”
“That one is an important
episode. We learn some
stuff about Jon and it
marks their first Christmas
without him, so it’s a really
moving, hopefully authen-
tic look at how his family
copes with the milestones
of life without him. If you’re
going to watch one [epi-
sode] and understand the
heart and humor of our
show, this is the one.”
“Goodbye”
“I think the season 1 finale
definitely sets the table for
where we start off in sea-
son 2. When I was editing
it, we knew we had a sea-
son 2, and we made a lot of
editing choices behind the
idea that we wanted to
make sure that fans watch
that episode when it re-
airs right before we pre-
miere season 2.”
