Everything I have to say after watching S2 of One Of Us Is Lying in 2 days during the busiest and most difficult part of my exam season
!!! Disclaimers!!!
- unfortunately, i have not read the books so have no idea what the future holds, if you do, please don’t tell me at all or just tell me in a way without spoiling it for me
-i don’t even have any idea if the series follows the books exactly or not
- this is just me rambling on, please don’t come at me if i say something wrong/stupid (i should make a tiktok with this part stitching the ‘tell me you have anxiety without actually telling me you have anxiety’ video)
- also English is not my first language and it is exam period and quite late at night for me, so if something doesn’t make sense, well, i am not surprised
Just putting this out here for no reason other than my memory sucks and i want to remember this when season 3 comes out to see if i was right about anything that will be mentioned below at all
1.
So i believe that Cole will reach out to Maeve in order to get the video of the Murder Club standing above Jake’s body and have proof for them to get in jail but i don’t think he will do it as Cole. I’d assume he’s going to show up in Murder Club’s life as another character similar to Jake in S1 or Fiona in S2. Maeve being the amazing sister and mastermind that she is (even if she can be a little bit misunderstood and stubborn at times) will start working with him in some way in order to find out who he really is and put an end to this situation for forever. We all know Cole is not stupid so he will have his doubts and will be cautios when it comes to Maeve but she is the only person who has what Jake wants (the video=easier way to get MC into jail). I’d assume Maeve would have the tape deleted by then but if that were be the case then she couldn’t have a hold on Cole in any way. So i think she still has the video or at least she will be able to make it seem like she does, convincing Cole and Murder Club as well. Murder Club will be devastated and will be sure that Maeve was on the ‘bad side’ all along until the very end of the season but i don’t think it will be obvious for them that she’s in any connection with the one Fiona was working with, which we know is Cole, for a while (at least half of the season). Maeve, ofc, will be working on getting closer to Cole, finding out who he really is while having a bad relationship with MC.
2.
For some reason I feel like Vanessa will officially (or even more officially, since we heard “welcome to the team” by Addy in S2) join MC and be even more involved in finding out who the psycho of S3 is.
3.
Because of unresolved problems between MC and Maeve, especially with Bronwyn and Janae, i believe Addy and Janae will happen in S3 and S2 was a build up to that. At first, i thought they were just to be best of friends but the more we went on the more i (and i think we all) felt like there is more to that. So i think the fans will get what they want regarding this part of the series with Janae coming to terms with her/his/their (i believe i should use his from now) gender and Addy leaving this whole ‘i was just a blonde doll being told what to do by Jake and not being my own person’ thing by the end of S2. I don’t see why they would not go through with this with Maeve being out of the picture for Janae. I’m sure S3 will be full of chaos as well, they will need each other, logically even more than in S2.
4.
The biggest question throughout the season will be Jake’s secret. I believe Cole is involved in some way and that’s why he got rid of Fiona, she told him that she knew Jake’s secret in the last episode of S2 at the end. Cole has the influence to make all what happened to Fiona at jail happen without him being suspected. So can’t wait to find out what the big secret is and how Cole is involved. I find it not enough of a reason for all of this(this being byebye Fiona) to happen that Cole was afraid it would cause harm to their family’s reputation. It was either something big enough so that the whole family loses everything or Cole was involved in some way (or both tbh). Cole probably just really wants to stay the fake-perfect, influential, i-own-half-the-town guy that he seems to be for other Bayview citizens. I have a slight suspicion that Cole had to do something with Simon’s tragic byebye as well and at the end of S2 he just wanted to know if Fiona knew the secret or not, while knowing exactly or even influencing why Jake did what he did to Simon. Since we have the whole ‘Simon posted on his GossipSite about Fiona so she can’t have her fresh start at the new school’ thing going on for Jake’s reason to go through with the plan in the beginning. But even with that Cole might had something to do with it( oooor i just really want Cole to be this really really messed up kinda mastermind guy for some unknown reason.)
Other possibilities i have in mind but i am not as sure about them as about the ones above:
+ Why i dont think they will happen
Maeve will be the victim of Cole’s and she will ask for help from the MC but they won’t help her until the last minute bc they don’t trust her at all
-we know Maeve, she doesn’t ask for help
-it would be strange and unreasonable really to have any other targets than Murder Club themselves for S3
Vanessa not having a bigger role than she had in S2
-“welcome to the team” - Addy
-her finally finding out who she really is or wants to be with the help of Evan and not seeing in black and white about MC with the help of Kris
-she has a very significant connection to Cole (i mean damn, he got her pregnant) and since i believe Cole will have a big role/be THE bad guy (isn’t he that already?) i feel like Vanessa deserves to have a bigger role as part of the team/or just in general as well.
There will be someone else behind all of the drama other than Cole
-S2 was full of build ups about Cole being the/a bad guy. Why would they go through all of that just for it to be someone else? ((!!!!I’ll tell you why, so i can cry my eyes out about this show being brilliant and full of wth plot twists!!!! I swear i would go around campus telling everyone i cross paths with to watch all seasons bc it consumed my soul and i love it sm, but ofc in order for that to happen the plot twist has to be well planned out and it has to make sense 100% in the end))
Addy and Janae not happening, just staying bffs
- again, why all the build up in S2 if you don’t go through with it in S3? (Although there are some series where they just like to torture the fans and not give them what most of them want for some reason, although i’d be cool with it either way, them being friends or lovers)
-Maeve will be out of the picture for Janae and him and Addy just feel like what should happen if there’s no Maeve and Janae anymore (now that i think about it im a softie so if no Maeve than i deffo want them to happen, no bffs only bs plz, they deserve to have someone like a so next to them amongst the drama)
Maeve actually being a ‘bad guy’
-just no.
-S2
-i mean, come on, it’s Maeve
Other things i am interested in but have no elaborated theories about or had them but forgot them all by the time i was typing this (like i said in the beginning, i forget easily, at one moment head=full, a second later head=empty)
-gupta and her book
-wheelers and her working with Cole/is the police really in the dark as much as it seems (i mean i guess duh)
-obviously: Bronwyn-Nate, Cooper-Kris
-Cooper’s baseball career
-will Zach have any role in the future
Okay, that’s all i have rn. If you’ve come this far, well first of all im surprised, second of all the biggest congratulations and thank you to you!!!
Let me know what u guys think, would love to hear if you agree/disagree with any predictions, what other predictions you have
Now i want to buy all the book immediately and read them all, nice…
