The Split Season 3 Plot
‘The Split’ storyline is set against the backdrop of high-profile divorces in London and covers the Defoe family and Hannah’s personal life.
The eldest and most responsible of the three Defoe kids, Hannah Defoe, felt abandoned when her mother, Ruth, the fearsome head of the family law practice, refused her a promotion.
Hannah, dissatisfied, joins a competing legal firm, Noble & Hale, where she meets her former sweetheart, Christie Carmichael, a dynamic lawyer.
Hannah’s life becomes incredibly tough once she joins Noble & Hale, as she must struggle with her furious family and her troubled marital life.
On the one side, Hannah must deal with her intimidating mother and impetuous younger sister, particularly when emotions over a wealthy couple’s divorce boil and Hannah is placed against her family law company.
On the other side, Hannah must manage her marital life – married to an unfaithful husband, Nathan, and the mother of three children, Hannah must choose between her family obligations and her increasing affections for Christie.
Things become much more problematic when Oscar Defoe, Hannah’s father, makes an unexpected return after 30 years. Amid all this drama, Hannah’s youngest sister Rose prepares to marry, compelling the Defoe family to address their differences and come together for the wedding.
However, as is to be anticipated in a family drama, Rose’s wedding does not end well, and the Defoes are once again forced to cope with difficult family dynamics.
Hannah is caught between her affections for Christie and her responsibility to her children as the season winds down, and fans wonder whether Hannah will leave Nathan and pursue Christie.
In Season 2 of ‘The Split,’ the Defoe family returns as the newly integrated legal firm Noble Hale Defoe. The remainder of the article details the numerous cases managed by the prominent legal clan.
Season 3 is intended to address the season 2 finale’s several cliffhangers. It should also conclude the plot, as this will certainly be the show’s final episode.
