After the silence. After the distance. After years of believing the story was over, there was still Stevie and Lindsey. Two people drawn back together by a single decision: the Buckingham Nicks reissue. The crack in the ice that began the thaw. With a trusted confidant listening, they retrace the months that led them here: the late-night calls, the stolen moments, the heat of a love that never burned out. This is a story about risk and renewal. About temptation and trust. About what it takes to lower your guard when history has taught you not to. And about how the ending they never wrote is still waiting to be lived.

Before the fame. Before the heartbreak. Before they became icons, there was just Stevie and Lindsey. Two kids from California tangled up in ambition, music, and a love that neither of them understood but couldn't seem to walk away from. As Stevie looks back on those early days, she begins to trace the fault lines of the choices that changed everything. This is a story about being chosen, and what it costs. About chasing the kind of dream that burns everything in its path. And about how the beginnings we try to outrun are the ones that never truly let us go.

What if the love of your life had nothing left to hide-except you? Fleetwood Mac are back. Officially. Onstage, the chemistry is electric. Offstage, it's more dangerous than ever. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are secretly married, deeply in love, and doing everything they can to keep it that way-while hiding the truth from their fans, the press, and the ghosts of their own past. But a twelve-city tour leaves little room for secrets. Between backstage mishaps, unexpected reunions, and the rise of a suspiciously well-informed fan blog, the line between performance and reality begins to blur. As public speculation grows louder and old habits resurface, Lindsey and Stevie must decide what matters more: protecting their privacy-or claiming their truth. Because when the whole world is watching, even love has to take the stage.

After twenty-five years of marriage, three children and countless betrayals, Lindsey Buckingham is finally about to be free. All that stands between him and a clean break is one final court hearing, a mediation room that smells like doom, and a soon-to-be-ex-wife who's asking for backpay on emotional damage. Also? He may or may not be sleeping with Stevie Nicks. Again. Note: Severance isn't part of the therapy series. It's a standalone one-shot, written in gleeful celebration of the day a sharp-eyed mediator finally cuts through the bull, and sets Lindsey's divorce on the righteous path to completion. Think Tim Robbins crawling through a river of metaphorical crap-except with a stronger sense of rhythm and significantly more emotional baggage. Freedom has never looked so good.

As they unpack decades of passion, collapse, and unfinished songs, a new truth emerges-one that neither a memoir nor an interview can contain. With the past bleeding into the present and old habits rising to the surface, Lindsey and Stevie must decide what to salvage, what to bury, and whether love-once shattered-can ever be rebuilt. Because some stories don't end. They echo.

What if the love of your life never really left the room? When legendary guitarist Lindsey Buckingham is fired from Fleetwood Mac, he thinks he's lost everything-until his wife Kristen files for divorce, and he realizes the real reckoning is only just beginning.

And one name cuts deeper than all the others: Stevie Nicks. As the sessions unfold, past and present collide-unearthing betrayal, regret, and the kind of love that refuses to die quietly. Torn between the life he built and the life he lost, Lindsey must finally confront the question he's spent decades avoiding: Was he ever capable of choosing anyone at all?

Find out when we take a look at what happens when Dave's cameras aren't rolling and Stevie and Lindsey find themselves in the midst of a torrid affair that may or may not turn into more when the project is over and they realize their feelings don't just exist "in their dreams."
