Now that we have two full seasons of 13 Reasons Why [1], we can hardly keep up with all of the secrets [2], lies [3], hidden backstories [4], shocking testimony [5], and mysterious new characters [6]. While we love how the series eschews chronological order for the more poignant single-character approach, it's sometimes difficult to nail down the pertinent plot points. So let's pause the testimony to take a quick look at who's featured in each episode of the second season.
