Matt Parkman linked to cliffhanger for Volume 5: “Redemption”

Hey All,
These are the first plot lines related to Season 4, Volume 5 called Redemption for Matt Parkman. Greg Grunberg talks about Daphne, Alena, a revengeful Matt and his role in the season finale of Fugitives, in an interview for Bullz-eye.com with Will Harris. Thanks to reader ayeargone for the heads up. Here is a summary with some spoilers:

1. As confirmed in his interview with TV Guide, Matt Parkman “does do something that he will regret forever before this season ends”
2. Matt will carry a secret that “it’s gonna fuel Season 4.”
3. Matt is involved in the “the big season finale sort of cliffhanger thing.” He adds, “Well, I’m obviously the guy who pulls it off, but you’re gonna be, like, ‘Wow, unbelievable. I never thought he would do that’ “
4. Greg Grunberg on Daphne, “I was actually sad to see [Brea Grant] go, but I was excited for me, just at the story development and having my wife coming back into the picture and getting my baby back.”
5. More on Daphne: “I basically created this love affair. I mean, there’s really no relationship other than in my head. We definitely care about each other, and we’re leaning on each other, but there’s no real romance there other than what I’ve sort of fabricated because I don’t have the family and the relationship that I want, or somebody in my life.”
6. This is a direct quote that contains Matt Parkman’s plotline for Volume 5 in a nutshell: “in Season 4, my big thing is to hold on to this family and to make the family work, first of all, because there’s a lot of contentious baggage to deal with, but also to protect these people that I love and this simple thing that I’ve always wanted: a family. I think it’s really exciting.”
7. Greg on the finale of Fugitives: “the overall story, the big picture story [of the Fugitives arc], will be answered.”
8. Volume 5 Redemption will center once again in ” real characters dealing with these unreal situations”, similarly to Season 1.

That’s quick summary of the interview. Greg is a bit vague on the details of next season for obvious reasons, but if you put things together is easy to start getting the big picture of Redemption. Click here for the full interview.
