***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD***

After I finished the first season of 13 Reasons Why, I was left with mascara running down my face and a lot of questions. Now that I've successfully binged season 2, I'm even more confused than I was before!

So here are all the loose ends that need to be tied up in season 3 of 13RW.

Why did Hannah include Zach on the tapes?

The whole point of the tapes was to explain the series of events that lead Hannah to kill herself. She put Zach on the tapes, because he stole her compliments, but that happened before their relationship. So why did Hannah make a tape about something that had happened months before? You would think that their intense summer romance would have eclipsed that small moment of douchebaggery.

Where did Tyler get all his guns?

Tyler's mom said she doesn't approve of guns of any kind, so Tyler must have bought the arsenal himself. Since he's only a junior in season 2, how did he get the guns? You need to be at least 18 to purchase handguns or automatic weapons.

Why didn't Justin know about the clubhouse?

When Clay is trying to figure out where the clubhouse is, he asks Justin, the former jock. Justin has never heard of it, which makes no sense, because the photos allegedly go back years. When they were taken, Justin was still in school and fully involved in the jock gang, so he definitely would have visited.

What were those papers Tony burnt?

Early on in season 2, Ryan gives Tony a stack of papers that look like evidence. Tony only shows us one before he burns them: Hannah's last note to him, instructing him to listen to the tapes, because he "owes her." We found out that she hid him when he was running from the police, which explains that letter, but what about the other papers?

What's the deal with Jackie?

We know that Jackie's daughter also killed herself, which gives her and Mrs. Baker some common ground, but still – her entire character is weird. Some random stranger just moves in and then leaves without a trace a few months later for basically no reason?

Why did Marcus get suspended?

At the ribbon cutting for Walker Field, Marcus got up in front of the crowd and accused Bryce of being a rapist. Bryce himself has admitted that he is, in fact, a rapist, so why did they suspend Marcus?

Who broke into Clay's house?

13 Reasons Why went full-on Riverdale with its own version of Black Hood. A hoodie-wearing stranger broke into Clay's house, didn't take anything, and escaped without anyone knowing who it was. What's the deal??
