Please read part one if you hadn't already. Also I have to put in a trigger and spoiler alert. This post is not for those who have not yet watched season one of 13 Reasons Why. This post and series is also not for those who are easily triggered by bullying, sexual assault, suicide or depression. If you are in crisis, please get help.

Episode 4 starts off the same way episode 3 ended with Clay sneaking out after being grounded. Clay sneaks to the house of Tyler, whom the episode and tape is dedicated to. Tyler was stalking Hannah and was taking pictures of her. The school hosts a seminar about bullying and suicide for the parents. The jocks continue to want to hang out with Clay, but Tony keeps swooping in to "rescue him." I think the jocks were trying to keep Clay from talking. We also learn that Tyler was obsessed with Hannah to the point of thinking he was in love with her. Marcus was trying to convince Clay to stop listening to the tapes and hang out with the jocks. Clay also confronts Tony about seeing him beat up a guy. Courtney stays with Hannah to catch the stalker. Tyler took a picture of the two girls kissing through the window. Clay stops by the Baker's house to stop kids from throwing toilet paper in the trees and ends up talking to Mrs. Baker. The picture of the two girls kissing ruined Courtney and Hannah's friendship, so Hannah blames Tyler for ruining the friendship and exposing the secrets of others. Tony proves he has the second set of tapes. Clay takes a naked picture of Tyler and texts it to people in school for revenge.

Episode 5 is dedicated to Courtney, who is the subject of the fifth tape. We are also introduced to Jeff, who we will be hearing about more later in the season. In a dream that turns a sweet memory into a gruesome one, we see Hannah dancing with Clay, then all of a sudden, her arms are bleeding. Jeff is seen clapping from the bleachers, and Courtney stabs Hannah in the back. Justin confronts Clay about his act of revenge. Tyler went to the school counselor, Mr. Porter, about a bullying incident and ends up getting frustrated. Jessica, Marcus, Courtney and Zach are talking about stopping Clay, who they fear will tell someone about the tapes. They still believe Hannah is lying. When Tyler tries to join in, they chase him away. Hannah, Courtney and two other students go to the winter formal together. Bryce figured out that the picture was of Courtney and Hannah. Courtney was afraid of her own sexuality and furthers the rumor about Justin and Hannah. Hannah actually stands up for herself and confronts Courtney. Hannah blames Courtney for being a bad friend and making things worse. At the dance, Hannah takes Jessica home because she was drunk. Jessica apologizes to Hannah for slapping her. Clay takes Courtney to Hannah's grave and Tony brings Clay his bike. On the way home from the graveyard, Alex, Zach, and Justin force Clay and his bike into Alex's car to scare Clay into keeping his mouth shut. We learn that Alex's dad is a cop, and we also learn that Clay's mom is representing the school in the lawsuit the Baker's are bringing against the school.

Episode 6 is about the sixth tape, or tape three side B, which is dedicated to Marcus. This episode opens with Alex fighting Montgomery. Mr. Porter wants Montgomery and Alex to face some sort of punishment for the fight. We are introduced to the idea of the dollar valentine, which is where you take a quiz describing who you are and what you are looking for. You then get your results and the number of people deemed a good match by the quiz. We also learn that the boys still have Clay's bike. Marcus matched with Hannah on the dollar valentine. Marcus confronts Clay about the tapes and how Clay needs to keep his mouth shut. Marcus was late to the date, then when he did show up, he put his hand on her thigh and told her she was easy. Marcus also showed up with some guy friends. After Marcus left the date, Zach came back to check on Hannah. Sheri and Clay work on a project and almost hook up. Sheri wants Clay to like her even though she may have played a role in Hannah's death. Clay and his mom talk about the case against the school and the fact that maybe it wouldn't be a good idea for her to work it. She offers to not work the case if it would hurt Clay in any way.

This will go into a part three because we still have lots more to cover in this season, so stay tuned.
