The star trio of Elodie Davis (Brianna Hildebrand), Tabitha Foster (Quintessa Swindell), and Moe Truax (Kiana Madeira) have returned to Netflix for the second season of Trinket on Aug. 25, and if the first season got us into the mind of a shoplifter, while the second and final season was the 12- step process for addiction recovery. (sort of)

We pick up right where we left off as only two days have passed since the season 1 finale, but what Elodie believed to be a great opportunity to choose her own destiny and go where she wants instead of being shipped off. She soon realizes the life on the road with rock star Sabine (Kat Cunning) isn’t the best option, pushing Elodie in ways that don’t make her grow but just uncomfortable. Whether pushing her to sing in front of a group or kissing another girl in front of her, that’s it for her. So the rose-tinted glass she saw her in have worn off and life on the road with Sabine is over. Also being reduced to nothing but a roadie is not the move.

As she is on her way back to Portland, Her Father confronts Tabitha and Moe to hopefully figure out where she could’ve run away. He eventually gets a call from Elodie where she tries to negotiate her return home, their conversation is a bit combative at first once his wife gets him to calm down and agree not to send her away Elodie return was a go.

Elodie returns home went as you would expect it, her father practically putting her on lockdown until she earns his trust again. As for her return to school Moe, Tabitha, and Elodie are ready to make their public debut as friends (a step up from how they had a secret alliance in season one). As a punishment and way to keep her free time to a minimum, her dad and stepmom force her to get involved in an after-school program. Unsure of what program to join Elodie’s love for music and ukulele skills lead to joining the school band.

On the first day of practice, she meets the cute and quirky clarinet player, Jillian (Chloë Levine) who seems to have instant chemistry, but Elodie isn’t totally sure if her new crush is into girls. After checking her Instagram page to decipher where she lands on the spectrum, views are left clueless until Jillian asks Elodie about coming to a Halloween party that Elodie now has to convince her dad to go. At this party Jillian dressing as Sally Ride “the first gay woman in space,” who didn’t come out until later in life. The two eventually kiss, but Jillian shares that she’s still figuring out her sexuality and grappling with how to tell her parents. But one thing is for sure: they want to be together.

So Elodie has found a romance more her speed, Moe, on the other hand, is dealing with several obstacles in her relationship with Noah (Odiseas Georgiadis). Not knowing the first thing about being a girlfriend she comments that it was much easier being lowkey about their relationship then out in the open. However that what she’s got Tabitha for, the two work together to make a sign in support of Noah for the big game. but not know the first thing about sports she yells during a penalty kick unintentionally causes Noah to miss a potential game-winning goal (ouch).

They get into an argument, which leads Moe to believe that they’ve broken up. She confides in Chase (Nik Dodani) — one of her robotics club teammates — and ends up kissing him in the robotics lab. Tabitha’s ex-best friend, Kayla (Jessica Lynn Skinner). who just so happens to be walking by the room spots them, takes a picture and sends it to Brady (Brandon Butler). So of course he uses this to Blackmail her into stealing the midterm exam from the teacher whose club adviser. On top of that, her home life is upended by the sudden reemergence of her brother, Ben (Andrew Jacobs), who returns from military school and father, Danny (Andrew Keegan).

Tabitha’s journey in season two is all about rediscovering her worth and embracing her true self. No longer with Brady, but initially continuing her romance with Lula (Henry Zaga) from the first installment. However, Lula suddenly disappears, ghosting her only because he stole her credit card information and ran up the bill.

Her biggest moment of the season was stand up to Brady for getting hostile with Moe at the Halloween party and pulling a knife on him and yelling, “You don’t f*ck with me, and you don’t ever f*ck with my girls, OK?” This newfound confidence does eventually lead to a new hairstyle, deciding to get her hair braided to embrace a sense of cultural ownership and a budding relationship with Ben. They try to keep their fling a secret, but it eventually comes to light and creates a rift between Tabitha and Moe. The two best friends take some time apart before they hash things out, allowing Tabitha and Ben to continue seeing each other.

However, Tabitha ultimately decides to be single and figure herself out is best for her. In Tabitha’s home life, she’s still dealing with her parent’s split due to her father’s infidelities.  She’s very cold toward her dad at first but comes around to mending their relationship. While she and her mother develop a closer bond, and Tabitha gains a better understanding of herself as a Black woman.

Brady who acts as the shows, main antagonist we where all puzzled to find out he admitted to sinking his own car until we understand his faking a mental health issue such as depression as a way to retake exams to boost his GPA. The blackmailing of Moeand eventual sabotage of her relationship with Noah after assuming she told the teacher he stole the test answers came back to bite him in the ass. As the trio unites at the school at midnight to assemble an installation for everyone to see. Displaying photos of Tabitha’s bruises caused by Brady and derogatory texts that he’s sent her. While also confessing to stealing the test in a letter that reads,

“We don’t expect you to like us, or even understand us, but we just want the truth to be known. Because we may be thieves, but we’re not liars. We stole the test. But it’s part of a bigger story.”

While the school reacts to the shocking exhibit, Tabitha drives Moe and Elodie to the beach where Elodie sprinkles her mom’s ashes. That was the finishing touches in the Netflix series as Trinkets has officially ended with its second and final season.
