13 reasons why season 2 episode 13
Alex pulls out a gun (again with the guns!), startling everyone.
Monty, who also comes from an abusive home, seems to admit that he’s the one who’s been threatening everyone. The group devises a plan to get the box of polaroids back by confronting the person they believe has been attacking them - Monty. Meanwhile, Alex thinks he knows who has been threatening them. She also brings up Justin’s heroin use and tries to invalidate Jessica’s rape by repeating the rumor at Liberty High that Justin left because Jessica cheated on him with Bryce.
Though because he didn’t actually see him rape her (he was behind a locked door), Liberty High’s litigator tries to use that to discredit his testimony. Justin testifies that Bryce raped Jessica. It’s sweet to see a younger Bryce stand up for Justin, who came from a broken home and was bullied, but that obviously doesn’t forgive the person who Bryce grew up to be. There’s a flashback to Justin’s childhood and we see how he and Bryce became friends. In this episode, it’s Justin who is finally testifying. Clay’s hallucinations are growing more and more concerning and I’m shocked that with only one episode left in the series, we haven’t seen Clay get any mental health help. Hannah doesn’t get to come back and tell Clay what she wants. As we’ve mentioned in previous reviews, when a person dies by suicide, they are dead. She replies that she just wants Clay to forgive her. Clay’s still talking to hallucination Hannah and asks her if she wants him to kill Bryce. Justin manages to calm everyone down - Clay puts the gun away and Bryce returns to his house without calling the cops. The episode picks up where episode 11 ended, with Clay, Justin, Bryce and a gun.
