Is this goodbye for Sass Warner?
After a bittersweet week, Sass left Ferndale to be with the man she loves.
Hawks was working in a war zone for Doctors Without Borders until he went missing after a bombing and was presumed dead.
Finding out Hawks was alive was a dream come true for Sass… after an initial hiccup where his identity was questioned and she felt like she’d lost him all over again.
But Sass finally got to talk to Hawks and see him on a video call, confirming he was alive but that he had to have his leg amputated.
Hawks told her to forget him and move on with her life but Sass knew what she had to do.
The next we saw her she was happily reunited with Hawks and not planning on returning to Ferndale any time soon.
What will we do without Sass?
