13 burning questions '13 Reasons Why' needs to answer in its next season

How many seasons and cassette tapes does it take for a small suburban school like Liberty High to crack the mystery that was Hannah Baker's suicide? According to Netflix, at the very least, two whole seasons. "13 Reasons Why," the show you're scared to talk about with your teens, has been renewed for a second season.

Some might say "13 Reasons Why" didn't need another reason to keep on going past a first run. To those people, we say there's no cap on teen suffering. Four years is long! But just what will Netflix do with another season of a show that seemingly already solved its titular investigation? Easy: Open 13 new doors where one just closed and deviate further from the book.

Here are 13 queries we need "13 Reasons Why" to settle in season two, with obvious spoilers for the first season referenced throughout.

Did Alex Standall kill himself, too?

Season one ended just as it began: with a teen suicide. Or in the case of Alex Standall, a possible attempted suicide. We're left with the cliff-hanger that Alex, one of Hannah's former best friends and recipient of one of her tapes, shot himself in the head and is in critical condition.

It was the show's unsubtle way of demonstrating to the audience how easy it is to be a silent bystander to someone in grave pain and in imminent danger of self-harm, just as the teens of Liberty High were when it came to Hannah. But if this is also the show's way of setting its second season up for 13 more Hannah copycat tapes, now narrated by Alex, it's toeing an already thin line.

Is someone going to finally report Bryce Walker to the authorities?

Over a dozen teens and several adults have the testimony from Hannah Baker that she and Jessica Davis were raped on two separate occasions by their classmate, star athlete Bryce Walker. Judging from one of the final scenes of the first season, Jessica, now his only living victim, seems like she is going to tell her father.

At what point does it become criminal negligence for this many people — including the school guidance counselor, by the way — to continue sheltering Bryce from the law? Clay has Bryce's confession on tape (obtained through not the most legal means, but it exists). Hannah has her own account of what happened on tape, which her parents now also have in their possession.

Jessica can give her own statement if she's comfortable and wants to press charges. Someone call the dang police already. Or better yet, get Jessica’s military dad to handle it his own way. For what it's worth, series creator Brian Yorkey had this to say: "If we left these 13 episodes out in the world with [the rapist] not being brought to justice … it'd be incredibly dissatisfying to me."

Is Tyler Down trying to plan a Columbine-like attack?

One of this show's many PSAs is its strong anti-bullying message, and no one was bullied worse than Tyler Down throughout the season. As a proven stalker, who repeatedly photographed Hannah and other students in private moments without their consent, he was also an easy target with a lot of pent-up rage.

In one of the season's final shots, we see Tyler with a case full of assorted guns and ammunition that he's hiding from his parents, for obvious reasons. For a show that hasn't shied away from suicide and rape (and seems fixated on revenge), a school shooting seems well within its scope.
