What's going to happen in Anne with an E season 3?

Inspired by LM Montgomery's 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables, season three sees a more grown-up Anne and her friends set their sights on college applications - and romance. Following Gilbert Blythe's return to PE Island (after a time spent gallivanting off on the other side of the world), pulses and hormones are raging in Avonlea as our heroine realises her feelings for the sensitive teenager - but has his head been turned by a debutante?

Meanwhile, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are in agonies over whether or not to support their red-headed orphan - now 16-years-old - in her quest to discover her "true origins story," as Marilla worries that Anne won't need her anymore if she should find her real family. "I need to know if I was loved," Anne sobs during the trailer, accusing her adoptive parents of being "heartless" for apparently denying her a chance to seek out her birth parents.
