Things are about to get very serious on Sullivan's Crossing.

TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at Sullivan's Crossing Season 1 Episode 4, which picks up in the aftermath of Frank being shot by the college boys.

As expected, we're in for an emotionally charged hour as Edna learns of the shocking incident as Frank fights for his life.

In the exclusive clip, we see Sullivan arriving to tell Edna the news, but he handles it very well for someone worried about his friend.

Sully recognizes that he has to be strong to deliver the news, or Edna will be even more worried.

It's a harrowing scene and one that shows the close-knit nature of everyone in the series.

Thankfully, Sully has seen Frank and is well aware of the severity of the situation but notes that Frank will pull through.

Throughout the early episodes of Sullivan's Crossing Season 1, we've witnessed the enduring bond between Edna and Frank.

Simply put, they're couple goals, and for that reason alone, we're inclined to believe Frank will pull through.

The series features highly dramatic scenes, but they're necessary to tell all of the stories at the wheel of the show.

It's rare to get a show with so many well-written characters. Everyone has a purpose, which shows in episodes like this, where everyone rallies to help people in need.

The college boys were first introduced on Sullivan's Crossing Season 1 Episode 2, and they made their presence felt in the bar.

Their presence was elevated somewhat on Sullivan's Crossing Season 1 Episode 3, leading to the life-changing shooting.

Edna doesn't take the news well, and even though Sully says Connie is sending someone to take her to her husband, she wants to be by his side at that moment.

It's only natural. Their love for one another bonds them, and I dread what would happen if Frank didn't survive.

I'm trying to think about where Maggie fits into all of this because she has a connection with Edna and Frank.

On Sullivan's Crossing Season 1 Episode 1, Maggie returned to where she grew up, but many people felt like strangers because she didn't look back after being taken away by her mother several years ago.

There's a good chance she'll be on hand to help Frank through this ordeal, which could help put her back in good graces with her father.

The CW knew Sullivan's Crossing would be popular and picked up Season 2 well ahead of its series debut.

Despite airing earlier this year in Canada, the ratings on The CW have been strong, with the show emerging as the most-watched and highest-rated show on the network this fall.

Those numbers only include live+same-day, so it's possible other shows could be performing well with delayed viewing factored in.
