Additionally, Goggins gave viewers a potential teaser about their relationship for an alleged new season saying,
"Lucy and The Ghoul are - I don't know if they're a team - but I think they're beginning to understand each other and whenver anyone sets out to define the truth, it's never going to be easy, is it?"
