The Craziest Moments From This Week’s “Sullivan’s Crossing” Episode
Once you start lighting fall candles, grabbing fluffy blankets, and baking banana bread, you might as well invest in a flashing neon sign that reads “It’s Gilmore Girls Season.” The cozy drama has everything we’re looking for once the weather turns chilly: a small town, deep relationships, and wacky traditions that make you want to hop inside your screen and live in Stars Hollow with Rory, Lorelai, and Lane.
While we’re rewatching GG for the [insert crazy number because we’ve lost count] time, we’ve also always got our eyes peeled for new TV shows. The CW’s new family drama, Sullivan’s Crossing, is perfect for Gilmore Girls fans — and not only because it features two of the same actors. Here’s everything we know about the new series.
Everything That Happened On “Sullivan’s Crossing” Season 1 Episode 4: ‘Rock & A Hard Place’
Right off the bat, “Rock & A Hard Place” is the craziest Sullivan’s Crossing episode so far this season. The two college boys we met during episode 2 have taken Chelsea and we have no idea whether Frank — who’s just been shot — is going to be okay. Thankfully, when Maggie and Cal (and then Sully) find Frank, they’re able to patch him up temporarily before the ambulance takes him to the hospital.
The shortest scenes in the episode also turn out to be the most memorable: While Maggie and Cal go after Chelsea, Sully tells Edna that Frank is in the hospital. Their conversation is an emotional one, which makes for a very impactful scene, even if it is a short one. Everyone finally reunites after rescuing Chelsea, but the Police Chief Tom is *not* happy Maggie got involved. Sully stands up for her, and it seems like we’re finally taking a step towards a true reconciliation! I will not rest until Maggie and Sully have the heart-to-heart they need!
The episode also plants some very ~interesting~ seeds for the future of the story. Jackson meets a new camper named Caleb, whom he’s trying to convince to go rock climbing, and Maggie and Cal continue to grow closer. But as we learn that Sully’s behind on loan payments, Maggie learns her deposition is two weeks away — before Cal admits he’s a lawyer and offers to help her prepare. (I did not see this one coming). This episode was definitely a roller coaster and I’m already itching for episode 5!

Where is Sullivan’s Crossing filmed?
The first season of Sullivan’s Crossing began filming in June of 2022 at Shubie Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Shubie Park features a green space and trails, but since it borders Lake Charles, it also features a beach area. Canada is a huge filming location, and has seen shows like Riverdale, The Flash, The Good Doctor, Chesapeake Shores, and Virgin River!
Is Sullivan’s Crossing a spin off of Virgin River?
Sullivan’s Crossing is based on the book series of the same name, written by Robyn Carr. Carr also wrote the Virgin River novels! So while this new series might not be a direct spin off of Virgin River, it is definitely safe to assume they exist in the same universe. The show is also executive produced by Roma Roth and Christopher E. Perry, the team behind Virgin River.
