However, I wish there was more for Miss Jenn’s final scene to pay off. Her scene with Ricky is heartfelt and necessary. Looking ahead at the future, hopefully, HSMTMTSdoesn’t forget the way Miss Jenn acted this season. This bodes well for his future with Kourtney and his possible role in helping the Wildcats learn the truth about their rival.
I’m thrilled it’s because he’s “in awe” and “intimidated” by Kourtney and not because he’s scheming with Lily. Though they do receive most of the screentime, HSMTMTStakes the opportunity to prove my pessimistic tendencies wrong regarding Howie’s motivations for acting so weird. “Second Chances” spotlights the Core 4 (Ricky, Nini, EJ, and Gina) at their most significant turning points yet.
It leans well into this found family, their interpersonal relationships, and the music that pulls them all together. This episode never loses sight of the reasons why HSMTMTSis so special. “Second Chances” deals with the very grounded fallout of everything the previous episode sets up. HSMTMTS 2×11, “Showtime,” was all about East High’s Beauty and the Beast. Until then, “Second Chances” gives us plenty to analyze and appreciate.
All of that potential is enough to keep us on the edge of our seats, awaiting a renewal. There are plenty, but all of them set up a potential third season that will take place in the Summer. Don’t get me wrong there are cliffhangers in this finale. This season finale could easily leave the characters on a cliffhanger regarding the competition. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series Season 2 Episode 12, “Second Chances,” steps away for the Menkies long enough to show what’s mattered all along - the Wildcats.
