The second season of Leanne ends with Leanne reflecting on her split from her ex-husband Bill with her hairdresser, Kimi (Jaime Pressly).
Now that some time has passed, Leanne is able to admit that while Bill was responsible for his affair, he wasn’t 100% to blame for the demise of their marriage. “I’m now willing to take 23% responsibility for my divorce,” she jokes.
She also realizes that she’s been somewhat selfish when it comes to her sister, Carol (Johnston), who moved in with Leanne to support her post-divorce. “I know what you gave up to be here with me, and I let you do it,” she tells her sibling.
In a hilarious full-circle moment, the last few moments of the episode cut to Bill, who also finds himself in Kimi’s chair. “My life sucks!” he laments.
What happens to Leanne?
Leanne is single by the end of season 2, having turned down Andrew’s proposal and dealt with her momentary attraction to Bill.
She’s not alone, however. Carol still lives with her, as do their parents, Margaret and John. The latter couple moved in after a mishap in their kitchen where someone left a pot of beans on the stove.
Leanne also forms a friendship with a man named Dutch (Billy Gardell) after the pair go on a date. He encourages her to speak her mind, however their relationship remains platonic.

At the end of season 2, Leanne and Bill are friendly, but not together.
Though Bill is single, having split from Faye (Emily Pendergast), Leanne is no longer interested in her ex-husband.
“It was a very brief, disturbing moment, but it’s over now,” she tells Carol of being briefly attracted to Bill earlier on in the season.
Bill continues to spend time with Leanne’s family, however, helping John prepare for his driver’s license test and serving as his poker buddy.

At the end of season 2, Margaret and John are still living with Leanne and learning to accept their limitations as they continue to age.
John struggles most openly with the change, lamenting his loss of freedom, though Bill reassures him that he’s still the patriarch of the family.
Margaret experiences her own journey with aging as she loses her ability to garden, but maintains a sunny disposition, even taking Carol for a spin on her and John’s motorized scooters.
