Season 1 ended with Alex (Miles Heizer) attempting to kill himself. However, while he did shoot himself in the head, he survived the wound but does have a great deal of physical and mental issues. He’s also still very much in love with Jessica (Alisha Boe), and in the final episode, gets her back.

The entire season circles around whether or not there will be justice for Hannah and if Bryce Walker (Justin Prentice) will be punished for raping both her and Jessica. After discovering a group of polariods that show Bryce assaulted other women as well, Clay (Dylan Minnette) and his friends assume that’s enough for an easy arrest. However, the polariods get stolen and Jessica was very hesitant to come forward. She finally did, with reassurance from the group that they’d support her, in the 12th episode. Unfortunately, Bryce being a rich man with a powerful family, was given only three months’ probation while Justin, who knew about the assault and didn’t come forward until his deposition, got six months in juvenile. Justin was informed ahead of time he’d most likely be charged as well, but still did it for Jessica. Bryce transferred schools and his girlfriend – even though it turns out she was the unconscious girl in the polariods assaulted by him – stayed with him. She’s also pregnant.

After Clay and Tony (Christian Navarro) found Justin homeless and convinced him to come back to town, it was quickly revealed that Justin is addicted to heroin. He stole money from his mother’s boyfriend when he left town in season 1 and had been living on the streets and getting high. He moved in with Clay, got clean, then went to jail. Officials couldn’t find his mother to release him, so Clay’s mother adopted him. In the final episode, it was revealed that he is still doing heroin.

Basically. In the summer before 13 Reasons Why season 1 took place, Hannah began secretly dating Zach (Ross Butler). They actually lost their virginity to each other. But when school started, Zach was afraid to tell his friends, so he blew her off. Clearly, he regretted it – he was actually behind the polariods showing up in Clay’s locker. He helped Clay, Tony, Justin and Jessica reveal the truth about Bryce.

Even though Mrs. Baker (Kate Walsh) put her entire life and soul into the case, the school ultimately won, thanks to the multiple secrets that came out during the trial. Mr. Porter (Derek Luke) even admitted on the stand that he didn’t do everything he could. He was happy he told the truth, even though the school fired him.

Throughout the depositions, Clay realized that he didn’t know Hannah as well as he thought did. When the season began, he was in a relationship with Skye (Sosie Bacon), but since he kept seeing Hannah, Skye quickly realized he was still in love with her and couldn’t get over Hannah’s death. Every episode, Clay saw Hannah and spoke to her, but ultimately, she didn’t give him any answers. He did seemingly forgive her during the final episode when the Bakers finally decided to have a service for her. He spoke and she sat in the congregation. At the end of his speech, she left, walking toward a bright light.

Before Bryce was given his ridiculous sentence, Jessica told her story in the court room of him assaulting her. And she wasn’t the only one. Multiple other women in the show, including Hannah, Nina (Samantha Logan), Courtney (Michele Selene Ang), Clay’s mother (Amy Hargreaves) and Mrs. Baker, told their own stories of sexual assault.

As many episodes did, the finale, titled “Bye,” began with a warning about sexual assault and drug abuse that viewers may find disturbing. That was an understatement. Ahead of their deposition date and throughout the season, many students received disturbing messages – for Zach, it was a dead rat; Clay was run off the road; and a sex doll with “SLUT” written across it was left on Jessica’s doorstep. It was revealed that Bryce’s BFF Monty (Timothy Granaderos) had been responsible, but that was just the beginning. During the season, Tyler (Devin Druid) did everything he could to tell the town that Bryce was a rapist. He was sent away to get help but returned to school on the finale, only to get jumped by Monty and his friends in the bathroom. After slamming his head against the glass mirror and the ceramic sink, Monty sexually assaulted Tyler with the end of a wooden broom in one of the most disturbing scenes of the series.

As shown in the season 1 finale, Tyler had been hiding a giant chest full of guns. In the season 2 finale, he prepared to use them, strapping himself with an assault rifle, bullets and a handgun and driving to the Spring Fling. Luckily, Clay was able to talk him out of it, just steps outside the school, telling him that he doesn’t want Tyler to die, and that that is how this will end. “We’ll figure it out. I swear,” Clay promised, taking the assault rifle and sending Tyler into Tony’s car. Clay’s left standing there, holding the gun in the final moments. “What do we do now?” he asked Jessica and Justin, who also just slept together behind Alex’s back in the locker room.
