What happens in season 2
Netflix's summary is short: at the start of season 2, Sophie and Margo are on the outs, but old secrets and new enemies soon force them back together. The trailer promises more seduction, murder and changing loyalties in Maple Brook, Texas, and the season keeps asking whether these women are the hunters or the hunted.
Where season 1 left off
Without spoiling the details: season 1 ended with a high body count. Sophie crossed a line that put her and Margo on more equal, and more dangerous, footing, and Jed found out that he cannot control everything at home. All eight episodes of season 1 are on Netflix if you want to catch up before Thanksgiving.
