![]() The closeted football player actually has an alibi for the night that Bryce died, but he was killed while in jail and awaiting sentencing for the sexual assault of Tyler Down (Devin Druid). Alex and Jessica came clean to the core group and they crafted a web of lies to point their collective finger at Montgomery de la Cruz (Timothy Granaderos). ![]() The season finale provided a three-part answer to the central question of who killed Bryce when it was revealed that Zach Dempsey (Ross Butler) beat Bryce and left him for dead on a boating dock, but that it was Alex Standall (Miles Heizer) who threw him into the water, where he ultimately drowned, after Bryce threatened the nearby Jessica Davis (Alisha Boe). '13 Reasons Why' season 3 premiered on Netflix on Friday, August 23, and all three seasons are available for streaming now.The new season of 13 Reasons Why set up the final run of the Netflix series.Īfter pivoting to reset the controversial high school drama around a whodunit murder mystery, the third season opened with the death of convicted rapist Bryce Walker (Justin Prentice) and spent 13 episodes questioning nearly every character who has appeared on 13 Reasons Why in a major way. There is no excusing what Bryce did and it's good he is gone, but there is no explaining that Alex felt the need to murder him either. It was more like Alex let his love for Jessica blind him once again to the fact that Bryce was making progress. So when at the end it is revealed that Alex pushed Bryce into a lake and let him (Zack had beaten him up earlier) freeze to death - the reason being Bryce had hurt too many of his friends - doesn't really seem to fit. The point to be noted here is that in all the reckless things they did, neither of them got hurt, and most of the time the two emerged from the adrenaline rush feeling 10-feet-tall.įor all that a redemptive arc for Bryce Walker is worth, not only did he offer Alex a supplement to accelerate his growth, but also with a much-needed sense of reckless abandon that began changing Alex as a person through the events leading up to the first episode of season 3. Walker had moved into with his new mistress, Alex and Bryce's unlikely bond was both a symbol of Bryce trying to be better, as well as Alex partaking in toxic coping mechanisms to feel better about himself. ![]() ![]() From snorting cocaine in the back of Bryce's jeep, to wrecking his father's new house that Mr. And out of that sick sense of self-pity and stubbornness to win her love he resorted to drugs supplied by Bryce.īryce was also the one who, after Alex was dumped by Jessica, took him to a friendly prostitute for much-needed physical intimacy. And as he saw her spiral back to her own toxic boyfriend Justin (Brandon Flynn) - who was the one who allowed Bryce to rape Jessica while he watched the door - Alex felt he needed to buff-up the way the school-jocks did to gain Jessica's love. While Jessica was still struggling to reclaim her body after coming out in the open about Bryce raping her back in season 1, Alex thought her lack of interest in having sex with him was more of a result of her not being attracted to him. This earned him the pity of others, but a lot of bullying from Bryce's (Justin Prentice) cronies for his failed suicide attempt, but sadly, it couldn't earn him a place in Jessica Davis's (Alisha Boe) heart that he wanted. But while he didn't die the injury left a part of his body immobile for a long while, leading the already scrawny Alex to walk around with a limp and rely on a walking stick to get by. After he made that list ranking girls in their class based on their best body features, Hannah's sad story of bullying and her eventual rape began, something that caused Alex to spiral with guilt and shoot himself in the head at the end of season 1.

Much like the beginning of the show, with Hannah Baker's death and the mystery surrounding why she killed herself - or rather - who were the people behind her decision, this season also dug deep into a death and offered a poetic sense of justice as it all came down to a tape, just like the ones Hannah left behind to explain her decision to end her life.
