WARNING! This article contains spoilers for The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 and The Lincoln Lawyer books!
The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 part 2 brought a sad end to Glory Days' arc, one that will surely affect the events of season 3. The Lincoln Lawyer first introduced Glory Days, aka Gloria Dayton, midway through its first season, where Mickey Haller was looking for her, hoping that she would testify in the Jesus Menendez case. As The Lincoln Lawyer season 1 progressed, it became evident that Glory was a prime witness in the murder Jesus was getting convicted for. After meticulously questioning every source connected to Glory, Haller found Glory in Los Angeles.
Toward The Lincoln Lawyer season 1's ending, Gloria finally showed up to testify for the case, which helped Jesus prove his innocence. Gloria, too, found a semblance of justice when the cop who had threatened her not to testify faced the dire consequences of his actions. However, in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 part 1, Glory Days landed in some legal troubles again, which hinted at her potential future in the show's overarching storyline.
Glory Days Moved To Hawaii In The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 Part 1
In The Lincoln Lawyer's season 2 part 1's episode 2, "Obligations," Lorna told Mickey that Glory Days got arrested for possession of cocaine and that he should be handling her case. When Mickey met Glory, she told him that someone set her up. She recounted that her new client first paid her with cocaine, and then her next client, an undercover cop, arrested her for drug possession. After pulling some strings behind the scenes and striking negotiations that favored Glory Days and Maggie, Haller managed to get Glory out of prison.
Unfortunately for Glory, Russel attempted to kill her soon after her release to erase all evidence of his real identity. However, Cisco and the cops stayed one step ahead by monitoring Glory Days and caught Russel before he could do anything to Glory. As Glory Days' The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 arc reached its conclusion, she claimed that she would likely return home to Hawaii for a while and spend time with her family. In The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 part 2, Glory seemed to go through with her plan, considering Mickey received a postcard from his former client.
What Happened To Glory Days In The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2's Ending
Despite believing that Glory had entered a fresh chapter in her life, she was seemingly pulled back into a dangerous situation. Upon acquiring a new client named Julian LaCosse in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2's ending, Mickey discovered the man had been accused of murder. The deceased woman turned out to be Glory Days, who was going by the name "Giselle Dallinger." Julian's case, as well as the truth behind Glory Day's death, will undoubtedly be the focal point if The Lincoln Lawyer returns for season 3.
In The Lincoln Lawyer books, Gloria never moved to Hawaii. Instead, she started living in Los Angeles, where she worked under the name "Glenda the Good Witch" Daville. She even started her website and offered a special $2,500 package to her clients called the Pretty Woman Special at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. One day when Gloria visited a room in Beverly Wilshire Hotel to meet her client, she discovered the room was empty.
Unbeknownst to her, Lankford was following her all this while. Later, on the same day, after she had an argument with her manager/pimp Andre LaCosse, someone murdered her. Although LaCosse was not responsible for her death, Lankford influenced the LAPD to arrest him on the charges of strangulating her and setting her apartment on fire. Luckily for LaCosse, Gloria had once told him that he should Mickey Haller if he landed in legal trouble. He followed Gloria's advice and got in touch with Haller. Although Gloria's murder case never reached full closure, Lankford likely had something to do with it in the books.
Will Fiona Rene Return As Glory Days In Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer?
Since the character has a crucial role in setting the stage for Mickey's next case in Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, Fiona Rene will likely return as Glory Days in Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer. She might be dead, but Glory can appear through flashbacks as a way to bridge the gaps in what led up to her tragic death.
