Complications closed on USA Network with its first season finale. If there is a Season 2 of Complications, will there be a confrontation between Doctor John Ellison (Jason O'Mara), his nurse Gretchen Polk (Jessica Szohr) and the Mysterious Caller (voiced by Jay Karnes)?

In our previous recap, Dr. John Ellison (Mara) is a suburban doctor who used to be at the top of his game in the emergency room. Outside of work, Ellison is dealing with the emotional downfall of his daughter's death. With the loss of his daughter, Ellison suddenly finds redemption after he saves a young boy's life from a drive-by shooting. Gretchen (Szohr), a street-smart ER nurse, is caught in the middle when Ellison becomes involved in a gang war led by Darius Bishop (Chalk).

In our recent recap, reeling from his wife, Samantha (Beth Riesgraf)'s affair, John discovered Detective Holden was on the hunt for Antwon. After Darius revealed Holden was indeed a dirty cop, John raced to the secret hospital where Antwon was being taken care of. After Darius was shot down, John had no choice but to put down Holden. Though life returned to normal and his family was reunited, it took a mysterious phone call to complicate matters for John.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Matt Nix reveals who was on the other line with John, "The voice is Jay Karnes. We had him on Burn Notice, he was obviously terrific as Dutch on The Shield. And yes, it's a very different world. ... The character of Wes this season was John's entrée into the cancer clinic. He's a spoiled rich kid, and that world is certainly dangerous and certainly violent, but it's a very different thing than the world of street gangs. We talked to gang experts and people who work really closely to gangs, there's a certain amount of self-serving activity that's just for profit or for the love of destruction, but a lot of it actually is pro-socially motivated. There's an underserved community that needs a de facto police force, an underserved community that needs an income source, that needs jobs, that needs something for everybody to do."

Nix adds, "When you look at the world of people scamming Medicare or people running corrupt cancer clinics that's a different class of criminal and in a lot of ways, morally worse, because these are people with a lot of other options. These are people who have advanced degrees. These are people who, rather than try my trade legitimately, and make a very good salary, I'm going to actively hurt people and make a ton of money. If you're balancing the moral books between a gang and somebody who's injecting people who don't have cancer with cancer medication, I'll go with the guy who's taking care of his housing project."
