The 10-episode season that premiered on Aug. 28, ended with Rodriguez's Jackie Howard confessing to Cole Walter (Noah LaLonde) that she loved him after spending most of the season trying to avoid him and deny her feelings. However, things continue to be complicated, as the confession is overheard by Alex Walter (Ashby Gentry), whom Jackie rekindled a relationship with and also told she loved.

I don't know what could possibly happen," Rodriguez tells The Hollywood Reporter. The series, which has been renewed and is already in production on season three, is sure to continue to heat up Jackie's love triangle with the Walter brothers, which first ignited in the Netflix series' season one finale when Rodriguez's Jackie kissed Cole after a season full of lingering feelings. The only issue was that the kiss happened while Jackie was dating Cole's brother Alex, who had also drunkenly confessed to loving her. Returning to New York proved to be an escape for Jackie, but season two sees Jackie return to Silver Falls and the Walter family determined to make things right - that is, until her feelings and perfectionist tendencies make things, well, more complicated. Add in Jackie retuning to 2.0 versions of Alex and Cole - Alex a seemingly more confident guy with the ladies and Cole trying to commit to his education and explore a football coaching position - and she immediately wants to help Alex be his former self and support Cole on his new journey. "She cares about them both so deeply," Rodriguez says. "I think she does feel obligated, and she feels like she's trying to make everything right and do right by everybody. She ends up making a ton of mistakes along the way." Jackie also spends the season trying to heal from the tragedy of losing her family and honor her idejntity as a Howard while finding her place in Silver Falls. With the second season now available to binge, Rodriguez spills to THR all about Jackie's big return to Silver Falls, Jackie and Alex rekindling a relationship, and Jackie's confused feelings about Cole, below. *** Season two starts with Jackie returning to Silver Falls, but it's clear that she is now more than ever trying to figure out who she is and her place within the family, with Alex/Cole and with school. What did you hope to explore with her this time around? When Jackie comes back to Silver Falls, she's making a conscious choice to confront her problems, especially the ones she ran away from. In season one, you see Jackie really push away all of her feelings. At the start of season two, you see her make that decision to come back, decide to confront things and try to be almost the perfect version of herself, because she feels guilty. That's her only way to feel like she could make things right, a little bit. That's the overall theme throughout the season. You see her deal with with things a little bit more head on with Alex and Cole and with her grief. It comes out in different ways than she expects. It's about her growing and just taking a little bit more responsibility. We also see Jackie try to confront and heal from her past tragedy more this season with Jackie still grieving her family and wanting to honor her identity as a Howard. What was it like further exploring that journey with Jackie and how would you say she evolved from the beginning of season two to the end? In the beginning, right when she comes back, her only goal is to be the new perfect version of Jackie at whatever cost. Throughout the season, she's torn, because she wants to be that version so much, but she is also this past version of herself and doesn't want to forget who she was, where she came from, and she doesn't have any anything in Colorado that ties her to that. It's a bit like when you want to make everybody else happy, and forget to take care of yourself. It's important for her to reconnect to that. Episode nine was one of my favorites. When I read that script, I cried. I was really looking forward to that, it's one of my favorites. I wanted to do that episode justice.
