Full spoilers follow for Margo’s Got Money Troubles.
I can’t believe Season 1 of Apple TV’s brilliant new comedy is already over. I was glued to my screen after Elle Fanning’s performance as Margo Millet, a single mother and college dropout who tries to support her new baby, Bodhi, by creating an OnlyFans account.
Who won the custody battle for Bodhi?
Baby Bodhi found himself in the middle of an intense custody battle between Margo and Mark, with the latter being pushed to gain full custody of his son by his overbearing mother, Elizabeth. Using Margo’s sex work and complex family dynamics against her, Margo faced many challenges where she had to prove that she was taking good care of her son.
Despite setbacks like her father Jinx (Nick Offerman) relapsing, her mother Shyanne (Michelle Pfeiffer) breaking Elizabeth’s jaw, And After appealing to Child Protective Services (CPS), Margo won the custody battle. However, this isn’t an idealistic outcome at all, making for some serious drama for season 2.
The terrifying Superior Court judge has a lot of opinions about everyone involved, immediately launching into an incredulous attack on Mark for impregnating his student, making it laughable that he wants moral excellence here (an incredibly satisfying moment, I must say). The judge, as nervous as he is, makes fair comments about everyone involved, as this is indeed a complicated scenario.
In the end, he decides that Margo should have primary custody, but Bodhi should know his biological father and will be able to do so two weekends a month. It’s debatable whether this is an entirely happy outcome, but Margo seems happy to properly introduce Bodhi to Mark, who insists that he’s a good father, so it’s good for now, and everyone celebrates.
I certainly expect this decision to create problems in Season 2, now that Mark is in the picture. I still don’t trust this guy, but hey, he has the chance to prove us all wrong. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.
Who called CPS on Margo?
Now this is shocking. We all assumed it was Mark, and I think we can be forgiven for that, given that he stopped at nothing to try to take Margo down before he was appeased in court. Or maybe you thought it was Elizabeth, who has been mad at Margo since day one for “catfishing” her son, as she puts it. It turns out the call was from someone much closer to Margo: a member of her own family.
But Shyanne’s new husband, Kenny (Greg Kinnear), comes forward and admits that he called CPS after learning of Jinx’s relapse. He accuses Shyanne of loving Jinx and Margo too much, so she would never have had the strength to do it.
Naturally, Shyanne is furious that Kenny is doing this behind her back. We’ve left the couple in a very awkward and tense position at the moment, and I have to admit that I don’t have much hope for their relatively new marriage. They already seemed like two different people, as Kenny is a deeply religious man, which conflicts with Shyanne’s lifestyle.
I don’t quite see this ending, but it seems like Shyanne is trying to cling to happiness and new romance after being betrayed by Jinx. Honestly, no one in this family can catch a break.
What’s next for Margo’s career?
Despite everything she’s been through, Margo doesn’t let anyone stop her. We’ve seen her online presence reach new heights thanks to her two new friends, KC (Rico Nasty) and Rose (Lindsey Normington), and her longtime roommate, Susie (Thaddea Graham).
We’ve followed the ups and downs of Margo’s journey into creating adult content, and the last time we saw her, she was preparing to take it to the next level. She’s much more confident than at the start of the series, and we’ll be following her progress throughout Season 2, even if we have no idea of the plot details yet.
Season 1 ended on a positive note, with things seeming to calm down for Margo. But knowing this show, it won’t last very long, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
