‘Good American Family’ Co-Showrunner Explains How Episode 3 Leaves “Bread Crumbs” For An Unexpected Ending To Natalia Grace Series

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the first three episodes of Hulu’s Good American Family.
By the third episode of Hulu’s Good American Family, audiences may very well be wondering how anyone can dispute that Natalia Grace terrorized her adopted family, the Barnetts, in the three years she lived with them.
But, as co-showrunner Sarah Sutherland warns, no one should jump to conclusions just yet.
“This episode is basically setting bread crumbs that will then get paid off in the end,” she tells Deadline.
By the end of Episode 3, Kristine Barnett (Ellen Pompeo) is good and well convinced that Natalia (Imogen Faith Reid) is out to get her. She thinks that Natalia is not actually a child, based on signs of puberty, and when she finds a used tampon under a piece of furniture while conducting a news interview with her son, Kristine flies off the handle.
