'Tell Me Lies' star says Lucy, Stephen's relationship goes 'beyond' toxic
Spoiler alert: The following contains details from Season 3, Episodes 1-3 of "Tell Me Lies," streaming now on Hulu. Beware if you haven't seen it and don't want to know.

Chaotic. Heartbreaking. Gutwrenching. Consequences. Slutty. Messy. Hostage. Fear. Tears. Tragedy. Toxicity.

That's how the cast of Hulu's "Tell Me Lies" describes what fans can expect from Season 3 (streaming Tuesdays), which feels darker and more intense than the last. After the Season 2 cliffhanger that left us with more questions than answers, actor Jackson White, who portrays the infamous Stephen, tells USA TODAY "people are dealing with consequences" this season, "and they're having repercussions from the last few years."
"It's all coming to a head," he says, "and it's going to be explosive."

"Tell Me Lies," based on Carola Lovering's 2018 novel of the same name and created for television by Meaghan Oppenheimer, has captured a passionate fanbase of readers of the book and series-only viewers alike over its too-realistic portrayal of the toxic ex or situationship in Stephen and Lucy, played by Grace Van Patten, who won't quit each other, no matter how low their relationship goes.
Van Patten teases that Lucy and Stephen's relationship in Season 3 goes "beyond what I even thought toxic was. I couldn't even imagine these things if I wanted to." To this, Oppenheimer says, "It's hard to shock this audience, but we try."
Returning to the series alongside Van Patten and White are Cat Missal (Bree), Spencer House (Wrigley), Sonia Mena (Pippa), Branden Cook (Evan) and Alicia Crowder (Diana), with the new addition of series regular Costa D'Angelo (Alex).

Ahead of the season premiere, USA TODAY caught up with the cast and creator to break down the most dramatic moments so far, and whether fans can expect a Season 4.
Moments before, Lucy asked Pippa about Stephen. "He ruined your life sophomore year, do you not remember that? You barely came back from that," Pippa says. But in true "Tell Me Lies" fashion, viewers won't know what Pippa meant by that until the season finale.

Then, the timeline is set back to 2009, and Bree, fresh off the end of her affair with Oliver (Tom Ellis), her professor's husband, and her breakup with Evan, wakes up next to Lucy as the two spend Christmas break together. Back at school, Stephen and Lucy decide to give their psychotic relationship, as Bree describes it, another chance.

By the end of the episode, Bree finally makes it to the altar in 2015 and, to Stephen's surprise, says, "Of course, I do."
In Episode 2, after Stephen confronts Lucy over sleeping with Evan, the two decide to try to move past it. "We'll see how this goes," Stephen says.

Instead, he grows more resentful, distant and cunning toward Lucy − humiliating her any chance he gets − and to none of their friends' surprise, the two break up shortly after.

Before that can fully happen, though, Stephen tries to manipulate Lucy into telling Bree the truth. He claims it's the only way their relationship will work, but Lucy says no.
