Season 2 of 'Locke & Key' captures mind-blowing adventures and a few harrowing accidents. What happens to Jackie?

Season 1 of Locke & Key captures the days following the Locke family's move to the Keyhouse Manor, the mysterious family home located in the fictional town of Matheson, Mass. By Season 2, the children have come to terms with their fate as the guardians of the magical keys.

Season 2 of Locke & Key confronts the main characters with a brand new problem: the prospect of growing old. The fear of failing to remember adventures involving magic turns out to be overwhelming for Tyler in particular, whose girlfriend, Jackie, is already exhibiting signs of memory loss ahead of her 18th birthday.

The prospect of losing the ability to recall magical incidents will prove to be even more daunting in the face of Dodge's (Laysla De Oliveira) latest attacks. (She is cosplaying as Gabe (Griffin Gluck), Kinsey's boyfriend.) There's also a new villain in town named Frederick Gideon (Kevin Durand), and he is even more excited about the idea of wreaking havoc than Dodge.

Tyler and Duncan (Aaron Ashmore), Rendell's younger brother, create the Alpha Key to exorcise the demon that has taken possession of Jackie's body — only for the whole project to backfire miserably. For a second, it looks as though their efforts have been successful, but Jackie ultimately dies as a direct result of the experiment.

Things turn around between them by the end of Season 2, with Kinsey successfully deceiving the malicious Gabe in the Season 2 finale. She jumps off a clip before snatching up his much-cherished crown. She then spends some time in the company of Scot.

Elsewhere, Tyler decides to move to Boston for college. He passes up the chance to use the Memory Key, letting his memories atrophy once he turns 18 years old. He seems to have little interest left in preserving the glorious past now that Jackie is gone.

Season 2 of Locke & Key is available on Netflix now.
