The initial episodes of Tell Me Lies season 2 are now streaming on Hulu, delivering even more twisted drama and suspense as Lucy, Stephen, and their circle of friends make their return to Baird College for their sophomore year.
However, a significant absence this season is Drew, portrayed by Benjamin Wadsworth. His character has yet to make an appearance, leading viewers to speculate about his whereabouts. Additionally, the storyline concluded in season 1 left many loose ends and unresolved questions regarding Drew.
In the first season, Drew faced the fallout from Macy’s death. Stephen framed him to appear as though he caused the accident, causing some friends to blame Drew for the tragedy. This situation led to various outcomes, including the breakup between Lucy and Stephen, as well as the split between Drew’s brother Wrigley and Pippa, which resulted in Wrigley missing his chance at the quarterback position.
What happened to Drew in Tell Me Lies season 1?
Drew’s connection to Macy’s accident and eventual demise was revealed early in episode 2 of Tell Me Lies. He confided in his brother Wrigley and Stephen about the incident, explaining that he didn’t report it due to being under the influence of alcohol and fearing the repercussions.
Though failing to report the accident was a grave mistake, the manipulation was orchestrated by another party. In Tell Me Lies season 1, episode 6, Stephen inadvertently divulges critical information to Lucy, who was his girlfriend at that time. He mentioned being in Macy’s car during the crash and that Drew was behind the wheel of the other vehicle.
Upon learning these details, Lucy becomes convinced that Drew is responsible for Macy’s death. Given Lucy and Stephen’s connection, she would do anything to shield and protect her boyfriend. With the knowledge she possessed about Drew that night, Lucy anonymously alerted the Dean, urging an investigation into Drew’s role in Macy’s demise.
This letter effectively triggered a chain of events that led to Drew’s downfall, impacting several individuals along the way. After discovering the letter, Drew accused Pippa of sending it. This assertion was influenced by Stephen, who suggested it was Pippa in an attempt to safeguard his reputation and friendship with Drew.
The confrontation regarding the letter culminated in a fistfight between the brothers Drew and Wrigley, who was Pippa’s boyfriend. This altercation resulted in Wrigley falling from a balcony, leading to an injury that sidelined him from the team. Consequently, Wrigley ended his relationship with Pippa, and without their star player, the football team scapegoated Pippa.
The season 1 finale of Tell Me Lies revealed that Stephen was actually driving Macy’s car at the time of the accident. He was under the influence but chose to drive anyway. While Macy sat in the passenger seat, Drew’s car narrowly missed hitting them, causing Stephen to crash into a tree.
Macy died instantly, and Stephen manipulated the aftermath: he positioned Macy’s body in the driver’s seat to mislead others into believing she was driving. He also deleted evidence from his BlackBerry that indicated Macy had invited him to the party that night. After leaving Macy for authorities to find, he allowed Drew to think he was at fault for the accident instead of confessing the truth.
Will Benjamin Wadsworth’s Drew return in Tell Me Lies season 2?
The mystery of Drew’s absence continues in Tell Me Lies season 2. His last appearance was during the confrontation with Wrigley, which resulted in the football player’s injury. His lack of presence in the first few episodes of season 2 has only deepened the intrigue surrounding his character.
Moreover, certain clues from the previous season raise questions about Drew’s situation. At Bree and Evan’s wedding in season 1, Wrigley appears to be under the influence of substances. Lucy describes him as a “coked-up gorilla,”and Evan interjects, noting, “It was his brother’s birthday yesterday, so maybe take it easy on him.”
Evan’s remarks hint that something significant may have occurred to Drew between Wrigley’s injury and the wedding. It’s possible Drew has distanced himself from his brother after the injury incident, or he could be deceased, which would explain Wrigley’s downward spiral.
As of now, no definitive information has surfaced regarding whether Benjamin Wadsworth will reprise his role as Drew in the upcoming season of Tell Me Lies.
Catch Tell Me Lies, including all episodes from the first season and the latest installments of season 2, now streaming on Hulu.
