Season Two
Gail and Mitch begin counselling to try to repair the marriage that they both want to save. After this fails to work, Mitch seeks advice from a friend, which leads him to suggest to Gail that they try having an open marriage, the motive being that if they remove the need for trust in the relationship, they might actually be able to gain it back. Gail goes along with it because she still feels guilty about the affair, but it is made clear that she doesn't want to go down this path. When Dawson discovers the arrangement, Mitch and Gail realize that their relationship is no longer working, and it is time for them to split up. Shortly after this, Mitch serves Gail with divorce papers. Late in the season, Gail attempts a last minute reconciliation, but when she sees Mitch with another woman (the new film teacher at Capeside High School), she decides to take up a job offer in Philadelphia to put some distance between them. Just as she is about to leave, Mitch tells her he wants another chance to repair their relationship, but Gail decides that her leaving is the best thing for all concerned and she goes.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming in of spring is like the creation of Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
