"V" is on the bubble, meaning its future is still uncertain. But, if it does return for a third season, show runner Scott Rosenbaum has revealed that the series will be come very emotional thanks to the conclusion of the second season.

In "Mothers Day," Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell) discovered a secret Government agency planning to go to war with the Visitors, Chad (Scott Wolf) was outed as a member of the Fifth Column and Tyler (Logan Huffman) was entirely devoured by evil Lisa (Laura Vandervoort).

So, if the series does earn a pickup from ABC, all of those threads will carry the show forward.

"Erica is going to find out her son was murdered and what that's going to do to her will be fascinating to watch," Rosenbaum said. "Other characters have died [and] the stakes are high."

Tonally, season 2 was a massive change for "V" and the series introduced more graphic scenes (like Tyler's face melting thanks to red rain, and Anna butchering one of her own), with the change credited to a little more harmony behind the scenes. During the first season, "V" was fraught with creative differences that fragmented the overall story and the impact any developments have on the characters.

So, with the house in order, the second season became a more cohesive story and that will continue next season.

"[V] has gotten to a place at the end of this season, [where it's] the closest to what I wanted it to be," he said. "The pacing of the shows [in a third season] will be very much like that last episode. They all will be peddle to the metal and tons of story and excitement."

But what are the chances that "V" will earn itself another year? At the end of its freshman year, ABC was in a position where it had to choose one genre show to carry forward into the 2010-11 season. The decision to renew "V" came for a second season came as a surprise due to the audience erosion that took place throughout the year, but with "FlashFoward" -- the shows only real genre competition for renewal -- demonstrating an even bigger audience drop off, the series only just made the cut.

This year, "V" pretty much picked up where its first season left off in the ratings department but after a few weeks of declining numbers the show did spring back for its season finale ... an episode that could be viewed as something of a back door pilot.
