Last week, Ginnifer Goodwin said that her character on Big Love "does something next season that in my own esteem is so horrible that I had trouble even performing it."

Talk about a major teaser!

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, series co-creator Mark V. Olsen may have at least shed some light on what the actress is referencing above. Referring to Ben and Margene, he said:

“We have flirted for three years with [that] relationship. And this year we finally decided to pay it off.”

Considering the events that ended last season, during which Ben smooched his step-mother, there's only one way in which the show can pay this off. We're giddy just thinking about that scandal.

Big Love returns to HBO on January 10.
