Plus, identity struggles, and a giant curveball, in Season 2, premiering April 8 on Freeform. Jeanette and Kate are often at odds with each other, but that doesnât mean that we donât root for them equally. The writers smartly avoid characterizing Kate as the blonde mean girl, and instead emphasize that even though sheâs at the top of the food chain that is the cutthroat world of high school, she shows kindness to everyone she encounters. The best versions of Jeanette and Kate are certainly when theyâre at their youngest and most innocent. By way of extreme circumstances, the series weaves a narrative of how teenage girls are taught by society that they should be afraid and always on their guard. As Kate deals with her kidnapping trauma, she finds herself cast as the perfect victim, but without any real support or empathy from those around her. Meanwhile, Jeanette deals with the ire of not just her small Texas town, but the entire country, as allegations come out against her regarding Kateâs kidnapping. They both walk the tightrope of what people expect of them, but the third timeline sees them each rebelling against those expectations.
