Mac approached his sister, Lady Mae Greenleaf (Lynn Whitfield), by planting a kiss on her cheek. This act turn fans inquisitive about the next scene. However, shortly after that, the credits have started rolling.
Questions arise for "Greenleaf" Season 2
What could be the bishop's secrets which may be connected to Mac's imprisonment? All throughout the season, we have seen how he wanted so bad to seek revenge against Mac. However, the direction of the wind seems to be changing as the bishop has started to comply with Mac's demands. With the bishop's sudden cooperation with the serial rape suspect, it could possibly be connected to an evidence or any account that may damage the bishop's reputation.
Sadly, season 2 is not yet slated to air in a week. The series' followers will have to wait for its return for the questions to be answered. One thing is for sure. According to Greenleaf writer Jason Lynch, Season 2 will have 16 episodes instead of 12.
