It turns out from pictures that Bryce tackled Zach so as to ruin his chances of getting to college based on his sports accomplishments. However, the pressing question in this episode is why Zach lied about not knowing who tackled him during the homecoming game, which resulted in the brawl. He goes to the extent of coming up with a schedule so all of Tyler’s friends can assist him every day to prevent another outburst from the boy who almost became the perpetrator in a school shooting. However, Clay seems to be too preoccupied, which is contrasted with a flashback that shows that Clay extremely concerned about taking care of Tyler. Episode 2 begins with Zach Dempsey, Bryce’s former teammate.Įpisode 2 of ’13 Reasons Why’ starts in the present as Tyler approaches Clay to talk to him. That being said, it appears as though the episodes of Season 3 will tackle all the possible lies that the people of interest to the case might have said. Of course, we cannot forgive him for his past crimes, but ’13 Reasons Why’ seems to be telling us that he did not deserve to die either. Bryce’s humanity is pushed even more to the forefront in Season 3 when we are informed that his parents have split up and Bryce appears to be all too human. We witnessed some vulnerable moments from the rapist jock when he confessed that his parents were almost never home and it made him feel lonely. Although the series has successfully painted him as a monster, there were inklings in the past season that Bryce comes from a broken home.
