Is Darcy leaving 'A Million Little Things?'

Darcy and Gary officially became a couple at the end of Season 2 and were still going strong at the onset of Season 3. As Darcy parented her son, Liam, Gary was taking care of Delilah Dixon's (Stephanie Szostak) kids while she was stuck in France.

The two played house together until the last episode of Season 3 before the two-part finale, "No One Is to Blame," when Darcy learned that her ex-husband, Steven, got a new job that's located a few hours away.

Per her agreement with Steven that they would remain in the same area for the benefit of their son, she's forced to leave town. In the end, Gary decided to uproot his life and move with her, and it seemed that they would finally get their happily ever after. That is until Gary got caught engaging in criminal behavior.
