Expected Plot
The first season of P-Valley concluded with the apparent death of Montavius. He was seemingly killed in a fight with Mercedes and Autumn after violently confronting Autumn about his missing money. It’s unclear who pulled the trigger. But show creator Katori Hall told Entertainment Weekly that “the secret of what went down in the Paradise Room will bond Uncle Clifford, Mercedes, and Hailey forever.”
Hall continued, “As we develop these characters, even more, I think time will reveal what truly happened in the Paradise Room. But there are so many levels to what happened and what the cover up is, and who has been a part of the cover-up. I’m just really excited to see how people react. Because that’s going to be the big question: Who shot Montavius? Is Montavius dead?”
But there are also other questions, such as whether Mercedes will get her daughter back.
