What Are The Characters Up To?
Rue, who is working at a smoke shop in Mexico, is tracked down by Laurie, a drug dealer, who confronts her and says she owes her money. With that, Rue is thrown back into this dangerous world.
Cassie and Nate are together and engaged, with Cassie being involved in making online content that Nate learns about after walking in on her. Jules is in art school, while Maddy is working in Hollywood at a talent agency. Lexi is also working as an assistant to a showrunner.
How Did Season 2 End?
Season 2 concluded on February 27, 2022, so let’s recap what happened since it’s been a little while.
After relapsing and hurting a lot of her friends through her actions, Rue tries apologizing to everyone, including her sponsor and friends. The season also ends with Lexi’s explosive play that follows the lives of her friends and makes a lot of people upset. That includes her sister Cassie, whose relationship with her best friend’s ex-boyfriend is portrayed and leads to Cassie having a meltdown on stage. She and Nate appear to have broken up over the play as well.
And with that, Nate turns his father, Cal Jobs, into the police.
Lastly, Fezco and his adopted brother Ashtray are stormed by the police, which results in a shootout with the police killing Ash.
