What to Expect from the Plot
Season 1 ended with Jackie fleeing to New York City after a messy love triangle involving Cole and Alex. A drunk Alex confessed his love at Will and Hayley’s wedding, while Cole’s sweet gesture of hiding Jackie’s late sister’s broken teapot led to a kiss that left fans reeling. Unlike the book by Ali Novak, where Jackie chooses Cole, the show took a bold turn by keeping her romantic future open-ended, with Jackie boarding a flight to New York to live with her Uncle Richard.
In Season 2, Jackie returns to Silver Falls, Colorado, determined to mend things with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family. But fitting back in won’t be easy. Alex, who’s had a major glow-up over the summer, is focused on training for a risky rodeo event and enjoying new attention, which might make him less open to reconnecting with Jackie. Meanwhile, Cole takes on a new role at school, but his old habits creep back, stirring up drama. Jackie’s journey will center on balancing her New York roots with her new life in Silver Falls, facing choices that could change everything she’s worked to rebuild.
Showrunner Melanie Halsall has teased that Season 2 will be “bigger and better,” with “massive set pieces” and “more intricate” stories. The show will deviate from Novak’s sequel novel, My Return to the Walter Boys, to keep surprising viewers, so even book fans are in for some twists. The love triangle between Jackie, Cole, and Alex remains at the heart of the drama, with Netflix promoting a “Team Alex or Team Cole” vibe that promises juicy developments. New characters like Maria and Wylder Holt will add tension, especially for Alex, while B. Hartford and Zach could spark new romantic possibilities for other Walters.
