I'm trying to set things right, I'm trying to be better but this fucking world won't let me... Nobody believes I can change.
— to Jessica and Alex before Alex pushes him, in "Let the Dead Bury the Dead"


Bryce Walker (d. November 2, 2018) is the main antagonist of Netflix's "13 Reasons Why".

He is Nora and Barry Walker's son, Harrison Chatham's grandson, Chlöe Rice's ex-boyfriend, Hannah Baker, Jessica Davis, and Chlöe's rapist, and the twelfth subject of Hannah's tapes. He is portrayed by Justin Prentice.

Bryce was a senior at Liberty High School. He was the co-captain of the Liberty High's football and baseball team. He is Hannah Baker's twelfth reason for killing herself as he raped her one night at a party at his home in his hot tub.

In the third season, he shows himself to start to transition into a better person before he dies. The Evergreen County PD confirmed that it was a homicide. It was revealed in "Let the Dead Bury the Dead" that he had both his legs broken and right arm dislocated by Zach Dempsey out of anger because Bryce crippled Zach, and then pushed into a river by Alex Standall after being helped up by him because, Alex realized that even though Bryce attempted to reform himself, he threatened Zach and he had already managed to hurt everyone he loves.

In the fourth season, Bryce, despite being dead is far from gone. Hallucinations of Bryce still haunt Jessica, Clay and Alex throughout the season. Each time tormenting them in ways he hurt them when alive or by reminding them about covering up his murder.

In the show's finale as they are burying the Tapes, for true closure, Jessica sees a final vision of Bryce and finally confronts him. She tells him she has finally moved on, and that he had never won. She says they all grew to genuinely love and care about each other in the end. She says Bryce did that too. He smiles and walks away, seemingly finding closure.

Early Life

An 9 or 10-years-old Bryce broke up a fight between Justin and another kid. Bryce called the other boy a "dick" and went on to help Justin up. Later, at lunch, Bryce went and sat with Justin, who had been sitting by himself at an empty table. Having seen that Justin didn't have a lunch bag, Bryce offered Justin his sandwich. Justin accepted but only after Bryce stole some Twinkies from another kid so that they could trade.[1] Growing up, Bryce's parents weren't around much, which gave Bryce a lot of freedom but would also make him feel lonely. He would often misbehave as a kid[2].

Throughout the Series

Season 1

In the hallway of Liberty High, Bryce and his jock were talking to Justin Foley about his date with Hannah the day before. When Justin showed him racy pictures he took of Hannah as she slid down the slide on the playground, Bryce grabbed the phone and sent the photo of Hannah to everyone in the school, igniting rumors of Hannah being "easy" and a slut, which was the initial blow to her reputation.[3]

At the Pep rally, the Liberty Tigers basketball team were kicking off it's pre-season, the first step on the road to returning to state finals; Principal Gary Bolan stated. As the season's winner of the Captain's Award, Bryce was called up to the stage to introduce the varsity squad. He gave a small speech showing his gratitude to receive the award and then he called out the year's starting lineup. When Bryce called out Justin's name, he didn't appear. Jessica Davis had been worrying about him all day, and he hadn't shown up at the pep rally. After the pep rally, Bryce gave Marcus and Zach Dempsey a ride to his house. As it turned out, that was where Justin had been hiding out, at Bryce's pool house, playing video games to avoid the consequences of Hannah's tapes.[4]

Another memorable time of him in Hannah's depiction is when he raped Jessica when she was passed out drunk, unaware that Hannah was in the closet. Hannah states that he broke her soul because he raped her in his hot tub, leaving fingerprint bruising on her arms and back. This was the last straw for her before she sees the counselor, Mr. Porter to decide whether or not to kill herself. He later admitted to raping Hannah to Clay, unaware that he is admitting to it, when he confronted him, after giving Clay a serious beating, also unaware Clay was recording an audiotape on the side Hannah left blank (Tape 7, Side B).

Later, Tyler Down suggested to the others that they could set up Bryce as a scapegoat to take the fall, due to his crimes being far more serious than the things they committed. Despite this actually being seriously considered, Tyler was shot down.[5]

Season 2

When Justin and Jessica were gone from school, Bryce spread the rumor that Jessica cheated on Justin with him and called it rape. Mr. Porter confronted Bryce in the boys' restroom and pinned him up against a wall, telling him to not come near Jessica. However, Bryce still approached Jessica in the sports field and acted like nothing happened and they are friends. He was seen kissing Chlöe Rice, captain of the cheerleading team, after that.[6]

Mrs. Walker tries to get Bryce to agree to talk to Mr. Porter but he doesn't buy it. After Marcus testified and mentioned that Hannah had a crush on Bryce and pursued him, Bryce got mad at him until Marcus explained how this could help Bryce.[7]

Bryce invited an excited Chlöe to his house to have dinner with his parents. His father asked him if she's loyal, as he had told him to find a loyal girlfriend to make him look good in trial. Bryce questioned Chlöe about Jessica; how she was doing at cheer practice and whether she's said anything noteworthy.[8]

After Zach's testimony about his and Hannah's relationship, Bryce and Monty teased Zach by putting underwear with blood and Hannah's name on it in his locker. Zach started to fight Bryce, but it got broken up by Coach Rick.[9]

Bryce and his parents attended a baseball event, where Marcus called Bryce a rapist in front of everyone. After the event, Bryce confronted Marcus, who explained that he did it because the tapes are already out while he still has a future if the video of him and the stripper doesn't get released.[10]

The next day, when Bryce had invited Chlöe over for breakfast, she didn't show up. Bryce's father told Bryce that whatever what was going on with Chlöe, he needs to make it right and you should respect a woman who loved you. At school, Bryce approached Clay and told him they're not enemies and he should mind his own business. He also tried to convince Chlöe, who confronted him about the tapes, that what the tapes say is false and he wasn't serious during his confession.[11]

During Bryce's testimony, he lied and told the court that Hannah had a crush on him and they used to have sex from time to time. It's later revealed that Bryce was the one with the crush, but that Hannah just wanted to be friends. He also denied raping her, saying that "she wanted it". Later that day, Chlöe was about to testify against Bryce for raping her in the Clubhouse, but lied after seeing Bryce in the courtroom.[12] Chlöe later told Bryce that she believes him and knows he's a good person.

After the school won the case against the Baker's, Bryce got arrested outside the courthouse for sexually assaulting Jessica.[1] A month later, he was sentenced to three months probation. Meanwhile, Chlöe revealed to Jessica that she's pregnant from Bryce.[13]

Season 3

In the third season, Bryce and his mother moved in with his grandpa following the Walker's divorce. His grandpa's nurse Amara Josephine Achola and her daughter Ani also moved in. He's going to Hillcrest High School and is on their football team.[14]

At Hillcrest, Bryce got invited to sit down to talk to some Hillcrest students, who started talking about girls with him. One of the students, Dean, reminded Bryce of being a rapist and told him to leave. Later, Bryce’s teammates shoved him down the stairs, leaving visible bruising and cuts. When he got back home, Amara cleaned up his wounds while his mom is mad at him for already getting into fights at his new school.[15]

Bryce invited Jessica to come over, which she did. She told him that she’s doing great, but can still feel him on top of her and accused him of not knowing what he did. Bryce admitted that he went too far, but didn’t seem to apologetic. He decided to see her at The Crestmont and tried to apologize, but Jessica told him that she doesn’t need anything from him.

Bryce also invited Justin over and seemingly tried to rekindle their friendship, but Justin wasn’t having it and threatened to kill Bryce if he ever came close to Jessica. Bryce revealed to Justin that he knows about the group covering up Tyler’s attempted school shooting.[16]

Tyler was told by Monty that Bryce is to blame for him raping Tyler, so he found Bryce in a motel room, watching porn and smoking. He pulled a gun on Bryce, but Bryce told Tyler that he’s not behind Monty’s actions. Bryce told Tyler that he might as well just shoot him, because he’s a terrible person who is hated by the world.[17]

Alex turned to Bryce for steroids when he couldn’t get them from Luke or his dealer, who offered him the “friends and family” discount. Bryce and Alex started to hang out and do cocaine together. Bryce also introduced Alex to a sex worker. At some point, Bryce invited Alex to break into his dad’s house and mess it up. It turned out that they broke into the wrong house as a little kid came down the stairs. Bryce told the little kid and says “If you say anything, I’ll kill you,” causing the child to pee his pants and start crying. After they got back to the car, Alex told Bryce that he’s a bad person and doesn’t want to hang out with him anymore. Bryce shrugged it off and told Alex that he doesn’t get a discount anymore.

Bryce took Monty to a “rich kid” party, where Monty ended up beating Winston Williams Bryce pulled Monty off and offered Winston $5,000 to forget this ever happened. Winston negotiated more money, which Bryce is agreed with.[18]

Bryce came to Padilla Automotive to get his car fixed, which Tony initially refused to do but later agreed to. Tony didn't have enough money to pay his lawyers, so he sold Bryce his mustang for twice the price he had asked.

Bryce’s father had cut Bryce out of his life following the separation with Bryce’s mom. When Bryce saw his dad and his new girlfriend at dinner, he started a conversation with them, which his dad clearly didn’t appreciate.

Mr. Walker confronted Bryce about breaking into his house. Bryce refused to pay for any damages, and threatened to tell the divorce court about Caitlin, his 12-year-old daughter from a secret affair. After Mr. Walker is gone, Bryce’s mom told Bryce that they should move on from him.[19] The relationship between Bryce and his mom improved; they had a paint fight and Mrs. Walker taught Bryce yoga, where Bryce broke down crying.

Bryce and Ani had developed a close friendship as they spent a lot of time together in the house, which they hid from their parents. They started hooking up and Bryce soon fell in love with her.[20]

Kevin Porter became Bryce’s private counsellor, which Bryce at first didn’t want because of the way Mr. Porter used to treat him. He eventually agreed to therapy, where Bryce is tasked to write a letter about himself from his mother’s perspective. Bryce wrote very negatively about himself, and it broke down the walls between him and his mom. Mrs. Walker shared that she only parented Bryce the way she was raised, which was to give him as much as possible but not be quite as open emotionally.

In another therapy session, Bryce revealed to Mr. Porter that sex with a girl (Ani) is difficult for him because he fantasizes about holding her down. Mr. Porter reminded him that dating is probably a really bad idea for him right now, but Bryce was insistent that Ani is making him better.[2]

In a flashback, Justin was arrested for drug use and called Bryce to bail him out. Bryce learned that Justin is using again and that he’s getting threatened by Seth Massey, so he paid Seth $5,000 to leave Justin alone. Bryce also gave Justin his Oxycodone prescription as an alternative to heroin.[21]

Tony confronted Bryce over getting his family deported, but Bryce told him that he didn’t know it. Bryce then asked him if he could listen to Hannah’s tapes, as he’s never listened to them before. Tony agreed to it as Hannah wanted everyone on the tapes to hear them and drove Bryce around. Bryce cried while listening and wanted to apologize to Hannah’s mother for what he did to Hannah. Bryce approached her in the lobby of her hotel and tried to say sorry, but Mrs. Baker didn’t accept it and wished him a lifetime of learning what sorry means.

Bryce came across Clay, who was standing in Bryce’s driveway to ask Ani out. Bryce started mocking Clay. Clay declared that he’d kill him if he ever came near Ani. Bryce laughed it off and told Clay that he won’t beat him up, but can still have sex with his friend.

The next day, a drunk Bryce asked Ani about Clay. She denied that there’s anything going on with them. Bryce kept telling Ani he misses and needs her and aggressively grabbed her arm. Ani got frightened and ran away.[22]

Before the Homecoming Football Game, Bryce approached Jessica and asked her to meet him at the Navy Pier later that night. Bryce explained that he had something to give to her and told her to bring someone if she wanted. He then went to the Liberty Tigers locker room to confront Monty about what he did to Tyler. Bryce told him that if he doesn’t stay away from Tyler, he will tell the police about everything he did during the Hannah Baker trail.[23]

Shortly before the game started, Bryce saw his ex-girlfriend Chlöe hug Zach. Bryce approached her, who then told him that she was pregnant with his baby and had an abortion. Bryce was sympathetic towards her, but Chlöe told him that Zach helped her through it. Bryce started to believe that Zach stole Chlöe and tackled Zach during a fight that broke out during the game. He broke his knee in the process, ruining Zach’s chances to have a future in football.

Bryce went to the pier to wait for Jessica, but was followed by Zach, who was furious about Bryce ruining his future. Zach beat Bryce up, threw his phone in the water and left a severly injured Bryce behind.[24]

It's revealed that after receiving a severe beating from Zach Dempsey, a remorseful Bryce was confronted by Jessica and Alex Standall. Bryce had created a tape of his own for Jessica, acting as both a confession and an apology and he lamented how despite his attempts to change, the world wouldn't let him. Bryce begged the two for help with Jessica being reluctant as she knew Zach would go to jail if they did. Alex decided to help Bryce who reminded Alex of their friendship, but Alex denied ever being friends with him. However, in severe pain, Bryce slipped back into his old behaviors, threatening to harm Zach in retaliation and accusing Jessica of setting him up. Consumed with rage of his own, Alex told Bryce that Bryce had hurt everyone he ever loved and shoved him into the river. Attempting to swim, Bryce begged for help but the two just watched as he drowned. Ani Achola later framed the story as Bryce having been killed by Monty, who Deputy Standall told Ani was killed in his jail cell, to protect Alex while Jessica and her friends listened to Bryce's tape.[25]

Season 4

Despite Bryce being dead after season 3, he still appears in the fourth season. After Jessica burns the last copy of Bryce's apology/confession tape, a hallucination stands in front of her causing her to freak out.[26] The Hallucination would haunt the people involved in his murder (Mainly Jessica, Clay, and Alex).

When Jessica is in her bed room talking with Ani about their friendship, she has a hallucination of Bryce smirking at her.[27] Bryce also shortly appears when Clay is pranked by the jocks. Clay hallucinates Monty alive, but bleeding out. He tries to save him by stopping the bleeding but it doesn’t work and Monty dies. When Clay turns around he finds Bryce who calls him a monster.[28]

During the Senior Camping Trip, Jessica gets lost in the woods. She starts hearing Bryce's voice and all of sudden he's standing behind her. He tells her that she killed him and she should be okay now. Bugs start crawling out of Bryce's face and Jessica screams.[29]

During a lockdown at school because of a suspected shooting, Clay starts getting hallucinations, the first being of Monty. A halluciation of Bryce joins them and says what if a kid like Tyler is behind it? Clay says he’s had a gun to his chest and survived it and did the right thing. Bryce asks him if he’s a hero or a martyr, before the door handle rattles and his paranoia intensifies. He and Monty continue to taunt Clay.[30]

After it's revealed that Justin has HIV is terminal, Jessica has a hallucination of Bryce telling her that he wins. Jessica blames him for killing Justin, which Bryce confirms as everything that happened started after Hannah killed herself as a result of him raping her. She also tells him that he deserved to die.

After Justin's death, Clay has a hallucination of Justin and Bryce sitting together at graduation.

At the end of the season, Jessica has a final hallucination of Bryce and tells him that he didn’t win and his time is over. She says that he did bring the friend group together.[31]

Bryce's Crime (Reason #12)

Hannah's Reasons Navigation
← Previous
"Clay Jensen #11"
Next →
"Kevin Porter #13"


Bryce is Hannah's twelfth reason for why she killed herself and of all the people on her list, his actions are the most serious.

After a horrible day following losing $700 of her parents' deposit money and being rebuffed by Clay, a depressed Hannah goes for a long walk and eventually ends up in Bryce's neighborhood and is drawn to the sounds of a party at his house. Bryce sees her come in and greets her. Hannah joins the party and eventually joins Jessica, Justin, Zach, and his girlfriend in Bryce's hot-tub. After a few minutes, Hannah relaxes in and the four others eventually leave to hang out elsewhere. Bryce then silently enters the tub and turns it off. He and Hannah make some small talk and he then approaches her and begins touching her inappropriately. Hannah attempts to get out but Bryce grabs her and holds her, pulls her underwear off, and proceeds to sexually assault her. Hannah simply freezes and does not move as Bryce brutally rapes her, nor does she call for help. Hannah later reveals on her tapes that this incident completely broke her soul and it was following this that she fully decides to commit suicide. But before making her decision, she decided to see Mr. Porter, the guidance counselor.

Personality

Bryce is shown to be a cruel, arrogant, spoiled, manipulative, violent, and selfish person and is a very dangerous individual. Coming from a prominent background, being a star and a popular athlete at Liberty High, Bryce appears to view himself as being superior to everyone and as such believes that he can do whatever he wants to, never once taking into consideration other's feelings. Bryce is a cruel bully as well as he helped to humiliate Hannah numerous times and also Tyler on one occasion. That being said he never physically harmed Tyler, even going as far as to stand up for him when Monty shoved him against the lockers. He is violent towards others though, as shown when he threw Justin out of Jessica's room and also brutally beating up Clay after he accused him of raping Hannah.

Of all the people on Hannah's list, Bryce's actions are the most serious as he is proven to be a dangerous, sexual predator who brutally raped both Jessica and Hannah and possibly others and shows absolutely no remorse whatsoever for his actions and does not even appear to view his assaults as being rapes, once making clear to Clay that, if his actions are rapes "then every girl at this school wants to be raped". He also sexually harassed Hannah once as well by grabbing her ass. He shows no remorse over her death either and claims that she wanted him sexually and that she practically "begged me to fuck her", which was completely false. He is shown to be somewhat of a coward as he appears fearful of what will potentially happen to him after Justin reveals to him of the existence of Hannah's tapes. He is also somewhat easy to manipulate as Clay was able to successfully coerce him into confessing to raping Hannah.

Despite all of this, he is to a certain degree, a good friend, as it has been proven that he and his family have helped Justin numerous times, as well as his mother, and even lets Justin stay at his house for long periods. However, it is shown that Bryce believes, because of this, he can control Justin, notably seen when he made Justin let him into the room where Jessica was sleeping after telling Justin that what Bryce owns Justin does too, which in his opinion should be reciprocated, which also dangerously implies that he thinks Jessica is Justin's ownership. Justin is so scared to allow this, that he comes back into the room and tries to get him off of her, however, Bryce forcibly and brutally shoves him out of the room and gets back to Jessica whom he then proceeds to rape (he has non-consensual sex with her while she is passed out) while Justin is downstairs visibly scared, fearful and upset because he knows what is going on.

In the third season though, we begin to see a change in Bryce before his death. He realizes the opportunity that he's been given to try and change his life with the minimal punishment that he received. and after witnessing his parents' divorce, he begins to realize how much pain he has caused in his victims, so he decides to try and make up for it in several ways, such as helping Justin combat his drug addiction and pay off his debt to Seth, trying to give Tony his car back after taking it from him in an attempt to make amends with him after his father sold out Tony's family to the ICE, apologizing to Jessica for assaulting her, and helping Tyler out after hearing of his rape by Monty, which ironically appalled him. He also became more sensitive to his emotions and to the emotions of others around him, opening up to Mr. Porter about his tragic upbringing and the feeling that his parents don't love him as well as his remorse for what he did and his fear that he will never change and he even forms a consensual sexual relationship with Ani. Bryce was sympathetic to Chloe after hearing of her abortion and showed he genuinely loved his mother as well defending her from his father and grandfather, having a playful paint fight with her and breaking down out hon guilt and remorse into her arms as they bonded during yoga. But, despite this, he still does some horrific things such as vandalizing his father's house and a house that he mistook for his father's, threatening the child with violence when he catches Bryce vandalizing his home and selling drugs to Alex and other people on the side. He also still treated Zach and Clay badly, the former for Chloe (his ex-girlfriend) leaving him for Zach (resulting in him breaking his knee), and the latter for bonding with Ani (resulting in his multiple taunts). In a tape he left before his death, Bryce expressed genuine remorse for his actions despite knowing that what he did may have been unforgivable to the point of no one wanting to even hear him out. Bryce stated that he dreamed of maybe becoming the type of person that protected people from what he did (which he technically did by protecting Tyler from Monty and, due to Charlie witnessing his threatening of Monty, being the one indirectly responsible for Monty going to prison).

Physical Appearance

Bryce has short brown hair and slightly rosy cheeks. He is light-skinned and has light blue eyes. He has a boyish look to him and is often seen wearing either a white shirt, a blue jumper, or a blue flannel shirt. Due to his background as an athlete, he seems to have a strong build.

Relationships

Hannah Baker

Hannah was raped by Bryce. It is implied that Bryce had a crush on her, but the feeling certainly wasn't mutual. Bryce raping Hannah was the turning point where Hannah decided to make the tapes and consider killing herself. He was the twelfth reason why she committed suicide.

Hannah and Bryce first met at Kat’s party at Hannah’s house. Bryce attempted to flirt with Hannah, complimenting her laugh. After Bryce left, Kat strongly dissuaded Hannah on pursuing him.

S01E05-Tape-3-Side-A-056-Courtney-Bryce-Hannah

Bryce asking Hannah and Courtney about their kissing picture in "Tape 3, Side A"

Following Hannah and Justin's romantic encounter in Eisenhower Park, where Justin took the racy photograph of Hannah, Bryce is responsible for circulating the photo across the school, damaging Hannah's reputation.[3]

After Alex put Hannah’s name on The List as “best ass”, she came across Bryce in a store. As they were standing at the counter, Bryce groped her from behind. Hannah turned around and asked “Did you just…?” Bryce replied by saying he didn’t mean to and said “It’s real tight… tight in the store.” He then told her that the list got it right. Hannah left the store crying.[32]

At the Winter Formal, Bryce approached Courtney and Hannah and put his arms around them. He asked them about the picture of them kissing and wondered if they’re a thing now. Hannah told him that they’re friends and that one day he might have some.[33]

After Hannah reached a particularly low point, she ended up wandering to Bryce's house, where he was having a party with many other schoolmates. At the party, Hannah got in the hot tub with Jessica, Justin and Zach. A bit later, everyone left the hot tub and Hannah was left all alone.
S01E12-Tape-6-Side-B-069-Bryce-Hannah

Bryce and Hannah in the hot tub in "Tape 6, Side B"

Bryce entered the hot tub and told her that she was the coolest and hottest girl in junior class. Hannah, who was quite uncomfortable, told him that she has to go. Bryce started inappropriately touching her, so Hannah attempted to get out of the hot tub. Bryce pulled her back and brutally raped her despite Hannah's objections.

On the tapes, Hannah mentioned that she already felt dead when Bryce raped her and he had broken her soul. Arriving back home, she made a list of people that were involved in getting her to the point where she was now. She started to consider suicide and did so a week later.

After Clay heard Bryce’s tape, he went over to his house to try and get a confession. Bryce told Clay that he and Hannah had an on-and-off thing and she wanted it. He claimed that she “was practically begging me to fuck her” and “if that’s rape, every girl at the school wants to be raped”.[5]

In the second season, a trial is going on between the Bakers and the school regarding Hannah’s suicide. During Marcus’ testimony, he lied that Hannah had used him to score a date with Bryce. A flashback revealed that Bryce had initiated a bet with Marcus to see if Marcus could get Hannah to have sex with him.[34] Mr. Porter’s revealed in his testimony that he learned that the person who raped Hannah is Bryce Walker.[11]

S02E11-Bryce-and-Chloe-008-Bryce-Hannah

Bryce and Hannah at a football game in "Bryce and Chloe"

In a flashback, Hannah and Bryce saw each other at a football game and had a friendly conversation. Bryce proposed to hang out sometime.

In Bryce testimony, he told the court that he and Hannah had an on-and-off relationship. Bryce lied about a time where Hannah took him to a bridge and they kissed. He claimed it became their place and they would hook up there. He said Hannah wanted a serious relationship, but that he was too ashamed to admit hooking up with her because of her reputation. A flashback showed Hannah and Bryce at the Clubhouse flirting and hooking up. He claimed that she lied about him raping her because she was angry he didn’t want to be more than friends.

Later, Bryce thought about what actually happened between him and Hannah. Bryce was the one who took Hannah to a bridge; they also didn’t kiss or hook up. They didn’t flirt at the Clubhouse but had a conversation about Bryce’s parents. When Bryce tried to kiss her, Hannah stopped him and said she liked him as a friend.[12]

S03E10-The-World-Closing-In-038-Bryce-Walker

Bryce listening to his tape in "The World Closing In"

In the third season, Bryce revealed that he has never heard the tapes and asked Tony if he still had them. He finally listened to the tapes and cried while doing so. After hearing them, he tried to apologize to Hannah’s mom for what he did to Hannah.[22] He revealed on his apology/confession tape that the day he listened to the tapes, his life changed. On this tape, he also admitted to raping Hannah.[25]

Chlöe Rice

Chlöe was Bryce's ex-girlfriend. They started dating between the first and second season. At some point, Bryce raped her while she was unconcious. Chlöe broke up with him after she got pregnant and got an abortion.

Chlöe and Bryce started dating after Bryce had asked Zach for Chlöe’s number. Their relationship was first revealed when they started making out after a cheer practice, which Jessica witnessed.[6]

S02E01-The-First-Polaroid-153-Bryce-Chlöe

Bryce and Chlöe kissing in "The First Polaroid"

Chlöe told Jessica that she doesn’t have a problem with what she did with Bryce. When Jessica is confused as to what she means, it’s revealed that Chlöe believes Jessica cheated on Justin with Bryce and called it rape after regretting it. She even put up photos in a classroom of Jessica drunkenly dancing, calling her “a drunk slut”, to prevent her from talking about Bryce in court.[35]

When Chlöe and Bryce are hanging out at Bryce’s home and about to hook up, Chlöe told Bryce in a non-serious tone that it isn’t happening and to get away from her. Bryce grabbed her and told it’s happening. He also locked the door, possibly so if Chlöe really didn’t want to have sex, she wouldn’t be able to get away. Chlöe pointed out that he “just takes whatever he wants”, which Bryce confirmed. Chlöe didn’t seem to mind all of this.[34]

Bryce invited Chlöe over for dinner because his parents wanted like to meet her. Chlöe was very excited about this and started contemplating about what she was going to wear. At dinner, Mr. Walker told Bryce that Chlöe seems like a great girl and said it’s important that she’s loyal. Meanwhile, Chlöe told Mrs. Walker that Bryce is always sweet to her. When Mrs. Walker noticed Chlöe’s bruises, Chlöe told her that they’re caused by cheerleading. However, they were presumably caused by Bryce.[8]

S02E06-The-Smile-at-the-End-of-the-Dock-036-Bryce-Chlöe

Chlöe confronting Bryce about his reaction to Justin's return in "The Smile at the End of the Dock"

When Justin showed up at school for the first time in months, Chlöe accused Bryce of caring about Justin being back. Bryce denied this and said she doesn’t know how he feels. Chlöe told him he’s right and left the table.[9]

During a pep rally, Bryce ran up to Chlöe and gave her flowers and a kiss. He encouraged the crowd to applaud for her.

Chlöe and Bryce were watching a movie at the Walker house when Bryce attempted to have sex with her. Chlöe wasn’t into it and wanted to watch the movie. Bryce undressed her anyway and had sex with her. He asked her if she wanted it, which she confirmed, although her tone and body language indicated that this wasn’t true.[36]

After Hannah’s tapes were leaked by Clay, Chlöe crossed out the cruel things people wrote about Jessica in the bathroom stall, indicating that she now believed Bryce had raped Jessica. She still sat with Bryce at the opening of a baseball field later that day.[10]

The next day, Chlöe didn’t show up at the Walker’s family breakfast she was invited for. Nora wondered if it was because of Bryce being called a rapist at the ceremony the previous day, but Bryce said that Chlöe doesn’t care about that stuff.

S02E09-The-Missing-Page-054-Chlöe-Bryce

Bryce inviting Chlöe to a vacation to Italy in "The Missing Page"

At school, Chlöe confronted Bryce about saying that every girl wants to be raped on his confession tape. Bryce excused it by saying he didn’t mean it as he was drunk and annoyed at Clay. Chlöe also asked about Hannah: Bryce lied that Hannah made it up to get revenge for him not liking her back. He told Chlöe he didn’t tell her because he didn’t want to talk bad about a dead girl and was afraid she’d believe Hannah. He then told Chlöe that she’s special to him and invited her to go on vacation with his family. Chlöe seemed excited at first, but then became hesitant and said she has to ask her mom first.[11]

During Bryce’s testimony about Hannah, Chlöe walked out of the courtroom. Afterwards, Jessica met with Chlöe and showed her Polaroids of Bryce raping her. Chlöe told Jessica that she doesn’t remember it happening and tearfully asked why Bryce would do that. Chlöe agreed to testify in court.

Bryce and Chlöe walked into the courthouse at the same time and locked eyes. Chlöe testified that Bryce had invited her to the Clubhouse, where they drunk and smoked. When the Baker’s lawyer asked Chlöe if she remembers having sex with Bryce, she looked at Bryce, started hesitating and said that she now remembered giving consent.

S02E12-The-Box-of-Polaroids-074-Bryce-Chlöe

Bryce and Chlöe making up in "The Box of Polaroids"

At school, Bryce and Chlöe got called into the vice principal’s office. Here Chlöe asked Bryce about what had happened the night in the Clubhouse. Bryce accused her of making the choice to get stoned and to have an audience. Chlöe also wanted to know about him going to the bridge with Hannah, as it was supposed to be their place. Bryce got annoyed and asked if she thought testifying against him would make her feel better about it.[12]

Later that day, Chlöe found Bryce in the school’s library. Bryce asked her if she feels safe and believes him, which Chlöe both confirmed. Bryce claimed to be a good person; Chlöe said that she knows this and it’s the reason she was with him. They shared a kiss and confessed their love for each other.[1]

Bryce and Chlöe attended the Spring Fling dance together. At the dance, Chlöe revealed to Jessica that she’s pregnant with Bryce’s child.[13]

Chlöe kept her pregnancy a secret from Bryce. They met up at Monet’s where Bryce mentioned that something changed between them and he feels like he’s losing her. He said he loves her more than anything and messed up, but she believes he can change as she lied for him in court and didn’t leave him. He said he wants to be better for her and asked not to give up on him.

Bryce talking to Chlöe at Monet's in "If You're Breathing, You're a Liar"

As Chlöe was having dinner with Mrs. Walker at the Chatham house, Mrs. Walker apologized for Bryce’s behaviour and warned that he’s no different from his father and grandfather, who are both abusive and shouldn’t have had children.

Chlöe informed Zach about her pregnancy and had an abortion with his support. Afterwards, she revealed that she’s going to break up with Bryce. Following the break up, Ani found Bryce crying. Bryce told Ani that Chlöe was the only one who stood by him for a long time and he thought she believed in him.[15]

Shortly before the Homecoming Football Game started, Bryce witnessed Zach and Chlöe hug each other. Bryce called and greeted her, but Chlöe appeared uncomfortable and wanted to leave. Bryce told he it was nice to see her happy and she still has a spark after everything he put her through. Chlöe decided to tell him about her abortion and apologized for not telling him before. Bryce was sympathetic and apologized for having to go through that alone, but Chlöe revealed that had Zach to help her through it.

S03E12-And-Then-the-Hurricane-Hit-068-Bryce-Walker

Bryce and Chlöe talking before the football game in "And Then the Hurricane Hit"

Bryce grew angry at Zach, believing he stole Chlöe from him. During the football game, Bryce targeted Zach and broke his knee. This caused Zach to confront Bryce after the game, and severely beat him. As Zach was leaving, Bryce wanted to know if he has had sex with Chlöe. Zach replied by saying that Chlöe is his friend.[24]

After Bryce’s death, Chlöe told Clay and Ani that she really felt like she loved Bryce.[15] She attended his funeral, but it appeared to be to support Zach. She isn’t seen mourning Bryce.[19]

Ani Achola

Ani was Bryce's friend and lover. They lived in the same mansion because Ani's mom worked for the family. They soon started to form a friendship which eventually resulted in a sexual relationship. Bryce said that he really likes Ani and wants to change for her.

S03E07-There-Are-a-Number-of-Problems-with-Clay-Jensen-079-Bryce-Ani

Ani and Bryce in bed in "There Are a Number of Problems with Clay Jensen"

Ani and Bryce lived in the same mansion, as Bryce had to move in with his grandfather after his parents divorce and Ani moved in because her Mom became the caretaker of Bryce's grandfather. They soon developed a friendship, besides people such as Nora Walker and Jessica Davis warning Ani to stay away from him. One day, they started making out which led to them having sex. They continued to have a sexual relationship which they hid from everyone else. Bryce soon fell in love with her and claimed she was changing him for the better. Ani didn't seem to return those feelings. At some point Bryce becomes assertive, asking about her and Clay's relationship and shaking her while repeatedly saying he needs her. Ani runs away from him. At the homecoming game, Bryce kisses her, but Ani stops the kiss and leaves.

After Bryce's death, Ani is seen mourning Bryce only once(at his funeral) but she's actively trying to find out who murdered him. Ani continuously defends Bryce against Clay as she's convinced Bryce was changing and deserved a second chance. After Clay gets arrested, Ani tells Jessica that the worst thing she's ever done is sleeping with Bryce, but it's possible she only says it to make Jessica tell the truth. When she finds out Alex and Jessica are responsible for his murder, she frames Monty as the murderer and when Deputy Standall hesitates, she insists that both Bryce and Monty hurt people when they were alive, and they should end the cycle of suffering by letting 'the dead bury the dead'.

Justin Foley

Justin was Bryce's former best friend. They became friends in third grade, and Bryce soon started to look after Justin because of his bad home life. Their friendship fell apart after Bryce raped Jessica. In the third season, Bryce still appeared to care about Justin.

Bryce and Justin were first seen together in a flashback. Bryce was seen teasing Justin about something and Justin showed him a photo, telling him that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. It was an upskirt picture taken when Hannah went down a slide, making it seem like they had sex. Bryce took Justin’s phone and spread the picture around.[3]

At a party at Jessica’s house, Justin is standing outside Jessica’s room where Jessica was laying down as she was too drunk to have sex. A drunk Bryce arrived and excitedly greeted Justin, asking him if he wants to play beer pong. Justin told him that he’s staying upstairs because Jessica is “totally wasted”. Bryce asked if he can take a look, but Justin told him that she’s his girlfriend. Bryce told him that she’s just his summer hook up and said “what’s mine is yours, right?”. Next thing you see is Bryce entering the room, Justin assumedly let him in. However, Justin re-entered the room and tried to pull Bryce off of Jessica. Bryce told him to get out, pushed him out of the room and locked the door. Justin started crying and didn’t get help or tell anyone about what happened.[37]

Shortly after Hannah’s suicide, when Clay started listening to the tapes, Justin skipped school and stayed at Bryce’s pool house. After staying for a few days, Bryce woke Justin up by pouring some water over his face. Bryce told him that he’s always welcome but that he thought he would be going home the previous night. Justin explained that he hadn’t left yet because of Seth, but Bryce asked if that was the only reason as Jessica had started texting him. Bryce said that he always got his back and if he did anything, he can take care of it as long as Justin keeps him clean.[32]

S01E09-Tape-5-Side-A-010-Bryce-Justin

Bryce and Justin hanging out in "Tape 5, Side A"

Throughout the season, Justin and Bryce are often seen hanging out and Justin spends much time at his pool house. At the same time, Justin doesn’t want Jessica to come near Bryce and gets irritated when she does hang out with him. When Clay asked Justin why he’s protecting Bryce (regarding Jessica’s rape), Justin declared that he isn’t protecting Bryce but protecting Jessica.[37]

At some point, Jessica and Bryce were hanging out at Bryce’s house along with some other friends. Justin and Alex arrived to get Jessica from there. Bryce encouraged Justin to play poker with them and ignored the tension between him and Jessica. The situation escalated to Justin dragging Jessica out of the pool house which started an argument between Justin and Jessica. Bryce told Justin to calm down, Justin told him to stay away from Jessica. Justin revealed to Jessica that Bryce had raped her; Bryce walked towards him and said “Justin, brother…”, but Justin pushed him and stated that he’s not his brother. He tried to attack Bryce and screamed that he’s going to kill him, but Zach held him back. After Jessica left, Bryce calmly asked Justin what he just did and left too.[38]

The next day, Bryce tried to call Justin and left a voicemail. He said that he doesn’t know what he did to set him off and that’s it’s killing him that he can’t talk with him about it. He asked to call him back and said that he loves him.

S01E13-Tape-7-Side-A-074-Bryce-Walker

Bryce watching Justin leave in "Tape 7, Side A"

When Justin tried to talk to Jessica, he tried to excuse his actions by explaining that Bryce had always been there for him when he had nothing and that Bryce had bought him things he needed but didn’t even ask for. Jessica told him that Bryce did this so he can own him, but Justin denied this.[5] Justin later offered to kill Bryce if that’s what Jessica wants.

Justin decided to leave town, but called Bryce to meet up with him before doing so. Justin told him that he didn’t go to his deposition, which Bryce thought was good. Justin then revealed Hannah made tapes about what everyone did to her before she died, that included the things Bryce did. Bryce asked Justin if he knows the real story, to which Justin responded that he does now. Justin told Bryce that he won’t see him around and left.[39]

During the time Justin and Jessica are gone from school, Bryce told everyone that the reason Justin called him a rapist is because Jessica had cheated with him but told Justin he had raped her.[6]

S02E08-The-Little-Girl-027-Justin-Bryce

Justin confronting Bryce in "The Little Girl"

Clay convinced Justin to return to Evergreen; Justin agreed to stay because he wanted to take down Bryce for Jessica. Monty informed Bryce about Justin’s return to possibly testify, but Bryce said he didn’t care. When Justin unexpectedly showed up at school, Bryce and Justin faced each other. Justin told him “You…” and fainted. Chlöe pointed out that he clearly cares that Justin is back, although Bryce denied this.[9]

Justin returned to school on the day the tapes were leaked. Justin confronted Bryce, telling him that he heard his confession and he’s going down. Bryce asked him how he sees that happen without him going down too; Justin clarified that he’d do anything to make him pay. Bryce bragged about all the resources he has to protect him and intimidated Justin by pointing out his poor family situation and by saying that no one cares about him.[10]

S02E11-Bryce-and-Chloe-063-Justin-Bryce

Justin and Bryce about to fight in "Bryce and Chloe"

In court, Bryce said that he had hooked up with Hannah and she had a crush on him. At school, Justin confronted him about lying, saying that he’d have told him if it was true. Bryce asked “what, because we were best friends and I told you everything?”. Justin threatened to kill him and asked if he’s still going to hide behind his boys. Bryce stated that he isn’t hiding and asked Justin if he wants to fight. Justin attacked him, which led to a big fight between numerous students. During the fight, Justin and Bryce kept targeting each other.[12]

Clay went to Bryce’s house with a gun while hearing Hannah in his head; Justin tried to stop him. Bryce asked what they were doing and wanted to call the cops, but Justin irritably told him to shut up and hold on. After getting the gun from Clay, Justin loaded it and told Bryce to forget what just happened. Bryce asked Justin about him testifying and told him to be more scared than he is. Justin responded by saying that he’s the dangerous one as he got nothing to lose.

Justin and Bryce in third grade in "The Box of Polaroids"

A flashback showed an eight-year-old Justin getting bullied by another kid at the schoolyard. Bryce told the kid to leave Justin alone and called him a dick. Bryce offered to help Justin up, but Justin slapped his hand away, said he could take care of himself and asked him to fight. Bryce refused and Justin left. During lunch time, Justin sat alone at the table without food. Bryce sat with him and asked where his lunch was, to which Justin answered that he already ate it. Bryce offered to trade his sandwich for twinkies, but Justin didn’t have those. Bryce then stole twinkies from another kid and gave them to Justin so he could trade them. Justin told him that he doesn’t need to stand up for him. Bryce told him that he knows, but just wanted a twinkie. They formed a friendship.

During Justin’s testimony, he shed more light on his relationship with Bryce. He said that his friendship with Bryce was about both loyalty and fear, he held onto it because he didn’t think he had anything else. He said that Bryce was never his friend, because he doesn't know what friendship is. Justin also revealed to the court that Bryce was the one who raped Jessica.

It’s revealed that the day Justin showed Bryce Hannah’s picture, Bryce had seen him walking to school from the wrong direction and assumed he had slept with someone. He had started nagging Justin about it; Justin showed the picture to make him stop.

S02E13-Bye-080-Justin-Bryce

Bryce offering Justin a drink in "Bye"

After Justin’s testimony about Bryce appeared to be unsuccessful, Justin and Jessica reported him, which resulted in both Bryce and himself getting arrested.[1] Bryce got off with three months probation, while Justin was given six months.

Bryce approached Justin at the Spring Fling dance, offering him a drink. Justin refused. Justin asked Bryce about his transfer to another school and said he was lucky to start over. Bryce brought up how on their first day of high school Justin stayed over and talked about how they’re going to be kings of the school. Justin told him that he’ll always remember and Bryce said he will too.[13]

I've known him since I was eight. He was the first person that gave a shit about me, the first person to look after me, man. He was my fucking brother.
— Justin to Clay about Bryce[src]

Justin threatening Bryce in "The Good Person is Indistinguishable from the Bad"

A few weeks after Bryce transferred to Hillcrest High School, he texted Justin to meet up to talk about Jessica. When Justin arrived, Bryce invited him to sit down and grab a beer. However, Justin refused as he only wanted to hear what Bryce had to say about Jessica. Justin thought that Bryce was lying when he said that Jessica had come to see him, but Bryce told him that he has never lied to him. Justin denied that this is true by saying that he had lied every time he called him brother. Bryce told him that he was his family for a while and he’d do anything to get that back. Justin said to not talk to him again and threatened to kill him if he ever came close to Jessica again, and left.[16]

In a conversation between Tyler and Bryce, it’s brought up that Bryce had seen what happened at Spring Fling but didn’t say anything to the police and isn’t going to. When Tyler asked him why, Bryce explained that it’s because Justin helped him and he has hurt Justin enough in his life.[17]

When Justin got arrested for drug use, he called Bryce to bail him out. Bryce told him that his lawyer made it all go away and asked about Seth. Justin claimed that he can handle it and asked for a ride home. Bryce told him that he’s there for him for anything and that he’s his brother forever, no matter what.

Bryce bailing Justin out in "Always Waiting for the Next Bad News"

Bryce paid Seth the money back that Justin owed him. He also paid additional money for Seth to leave Justin alone. Bryce said that if Seth doesn’t leave him alone, he’ll find out what good of a friend he is. Afterwards, they went to Monet’s and talked about Justin’s drug use. Bryce warned him that he could die from shooting up heroin and that he doesn’t want him to die. He gave Justin his oxy prescription to take instead.

Bryce and Justin met up after Justin played a football game and talked about how unsuccessful it was. Bryce tossed him a new bottle of oxy. Bryce wondered out loud how they got were they are now, to which Justin replied that he had raped his girlfriend.[21]

Bryce disappeared after a football game and was found dead a couple days later. Clay shared the news with Justin, who ran to a different place and cried. Clay followed him and asked if he’s okay, but Justin told him he wasn’t because Bryce was the first person to care about him and that Bryce was his brother. When Clay suggested that Bryce didn’t look out for him, Justin got angry and told him that he doesn’t know everything and that Bryce is a human being.[16]

Justin attended Bryce's Funeral. Monty asked him why he was present as he wasn’t Bryce’s friend in the end. Justin explained that neither of them were, but at some point they both loved him. After the funeral, Justin told Jessica that when the protest took place during the service, he felt himself wanting to stand up for Bryce and hates that he feels this way.[19]

At the end of the season, Justin helped protecting Bryce’s murderer by framing Monty for it.[25]

After Justin returned from rehab, Clay asked him if he had talked about Bryce. Justin told him he did, he had talked about the kind of person Bryce was to him and him being gone.[26]

Jessica had a hallucination of Bryce while Justin was dying in the hospital. Jessica told him that he killed Justin, which the hallucination confirmed because if he didn’t rape Hannah, Justin wouldn’t have run away and live on the streets, where he contracted HIV.

Following Justin’s death, Clay saw hallucinations of Bryce and Justin together at graduation. Clay asked hallucination Justin why he was hanging out with hallucination Bryce. The hallucination told him that they loved each other and were brothers. He also stated that you can love and forgive people who did bad things.[31]

Zach Dempsey

Zach was Bryce's former best friend. They considered each other brothers, but grew apart during the second season. In the third season, Bryce broke Zach's knee for "stealing" Chlöe and Zach beat Bryce up for ruining his future.

S01E04-Tape-2-Side-B-029-Alex-Zach-Bryce

Zach and Bryce dressed up for the Halloween contest in "Tape 2, Side B".

In the first season, Zach is often seen hanging around Bryce or at his pool house. Zach often stood by or helped Bryce when he was harassing other students, such as when he held Justin back so Bryce could spread around Hannah’s picture or when they pressured Clay and Alex into having a drinking contest. They participated in the school’s Halloween contest together with Alex[40].

When Justin revealed the truth about Jessica being raped and tried to attack Bryce, Zach held him back.[38] The next day, when Zach is accused of defending Bryce, Zach claimed that he isn’t and just didn't want everything to blow up.[5]

S02E01-The-First-Polaroid-143-Bryce-Zach

Bryce and Zach at the baseball field in "The First Polaroid".

When the trial between the Bakers and the school started, the Walkers offered Zach to use Bryce’s lawyer when he has to testify. Zach later asked Bryce about this. Bryce told him that it’s because he’s looking out for him and they’re in this together.[6]

During baseball practice, Zach and Bryce got into an minor argument. Zach informed Bryce that he knows he got called to testify and wanted to know why he didn’t tell him. Bryce explained that he didn’t want Zach’s new friend, Alex, to know. Zach told him that they don’t talk about that kind of stuff and won’t tell anyone because he got his back.[35]

When Zach was struggling with school, Bryce gave Zach the answers of a midterm test he was going to have next day. Zach thanked him and Bryce said that he always got his back.[34]

S02E02-Two-Girls-Kissing-034-Bryce-Zach

Bryce and Zach in "Two Girls Kissing".

After Zach’s testimony about his sexual relationship with Hannah, Bryce and Monty put up a red-stained underwear inside his locker. They laughed at him and Bryce asked why he wouldn’t even tell his best friend about losing his virginity. Bryce got angry and started to fight Bryce, but Coach Rick broke it up.[9]

As Bryce, Zach, Monty and Scott were walking the school’s hallways, Bryce asked Zach if he was coming to his party that day and Zach unconvincingly said he was. They suddenly heard someone playing Bryce’s confession tape; Bryce asked Zach how this could happen. Zach explained that someone had anonymously leaked the tapes. At the opening of a new sports field funded by the Walkers, many news vans arrive because of the leaking of the tapes which made Zach want to leave. His mom told him to stay to stand by Bryce, but Zach left anyway.[10]

S02E08-The-Little-Girl-014-Zach-Bryce

Zach informing Bryce about the leaked tapes in "The Little Girl".

Zach and Bryce got into an argument in the middle of a baseball game. Zach pointed out that they both know Hannah didn’t lie on her tapes and said he “can’t do it anymore” before walking off the field.[41]

Near the end of the season, Zach and Bryce met in the boys' locker room. Zach informed him that he doesn’t have to clean up his locker until the end of the year, but Bryce revealed that he was transferring to Hillcrest and they’ll see each other on the football field next year. Zach asked about Chlöe, Bryce’s girlfriend, and Bryce told him that loyalty is a thing she has, referring to Zach not being loyal to him. Bryce then said “Take care of yourself, Zachy” before leaving the room.[13]

Shortly after Bryce’s transfer, Bryce saw Zach’s car at a gas station and stopped to say hi. They talked about Hillcrest and the football team. Zach told Bryce that he’s going to do things better than him as a team captain. Bryce told Zach that he’s soft for it and his mom is the “only one with an actual dick in the family”. Zach told him to leave, but Bryce asked if he wanted to fight. They had a short stare off until Zach said that it’s not worth it. As Bryce left, he told Zach that he’s “fucking over the team” while he was still “fucking his head cheerleader”, referring to Chlöe.

S03E02-If-You're-Breathing-You're-a-Liar-021-Zach-Bryce

Zach and Bryce talking in "If You're Breathing, You're a Liar".

Zach supported Chlöe when she was pregnant with Bryce and wanted an abortion. After Chlöe announced that she’s going to break up with Bryce, Zach asked if she wanted to hang out during Summer.[15]

Before the Homecoming Football Game, Bryce witnessed Chlöe and Zach hugging. He went to talk with Chlöe, and she informed him that she had an abortion and that Zach helped her through it. This infuriated Bryce, as he believed Zach stole his girlfriend from him.

During the game, Bryce accused Zach of cheating, which Zach denied. He then told Zach that he’ll get revenge on him for stealing his girlfriend. As the game continued, he tackled Zach. Zach called him an asshole and said he didn’t steal Chlöe, he had supported her, unlike Bryce ever did. They started to fight but were stopped by the referee and their teammates. At the start of the second half, H.O. started a protest during the game which led to a huge fight. As Zach was fighting another Hillcrest player, Bryce saw his chance and charged at Zach, breaking his knee. By doing this, he ruined Zach’s future in sports.

S03E12-And-Then-the-Hurricane-Hit-072-Bryce-Zach

Bryce about to charge at Zach in "And Then the Hurricane Hit".

After the game ended, Zach waited for the Hillcrest bus and followed Bryce to the pier, who was waiting there for Jessica. Bryce was surprised to see him there and asked what happened to his knee. Zach punched him, said “I’m gonna kill you” and going to hell. Bryce said that he’ll see him there. Zach’s anger only grew and he kicked and punched him multiple times to the point Bryce had blood coming out of his mouth and couldn’t get up. They accused each other of taking away their future. As Zach walked away, Bryce asked if he had sex with Chlöe and told him "She didn't fuck you 'cause you're a pussy-ass bitch!" Zach stomped twice on Bryce’s knee, threw Bryce’s phone into the water and left.[24]

Alex and Jessica found Bryce and asked what had happened, so Bryce replied that Zach did it. After giving Jessica a tape, Bryce asked them for help so Alex went back and helped him up. As Alex was helping him, Bryce threatened break Zach’s other leg and destroy him. Alex pushed him into the water and Bryce drowned as he couldn’t swim due to the injuries caused by Zach.[25]

S03E12-And-Then-the-Hurricane-Hit-082-Bryce-Zach

Zach confronting Bryce at the pier in "And Then the Hurricane Hit".

After Bryce went missing, Zach went to the pier and called Bryce, asking where he is. At this point, Zach didn’t know what had happened after he left the pier. He also didn’t tell anyone about what he did.[14]

Ani and Clay questioned Zach about getting his knee broken by Bryce. Zach had lied about who did it and now pretended to not know that it was Bryce. He mentioned that he had been fighting with Bryce his whole life, ever since Pop Warner, a youth football program, in fifth grade. He said he worked hard to put Bryce in the past and doesn’t want people to know Bryce was the one to break his knee, as it would seem like Bryce won.[15]

At Bryce’s funeral, Zach got to give a speech as he’s the football team captain. He said that Bryce was loyal and strong, which he aspired to be in a way. He mentioned not always agreeing with Bryce and what he did, but wants to believe that you’re more than a sum of your actions. He ended the speech by saying that he’s his brothers keeper and apologized to Bryce.[19]

S03E06-You-Can-Tell-the-Heart-of-a-Man-by-How-He-Grieves-025-Zach-Dempsey

Zach speaking at Bryce's funeral in "You Can Tell the Heart of a Man by How He Grieves".

After Clay got arrested for Bryce’s murder, Zach felt guilty as he believed Bryce died because of the injuries that he caused. He reported himself at the sheriff’s station and explained what happened between him and Bryce. However, the police revealed that Zach wasn’t the one to kill Bryce as Bryce had died of drowning. He also didn’t get in trouble because they can’t proof whether Bryce’s injuries were from the football fight or from Zach beating him.[24]

At the end of the season, Zach agreed with framing Monty for Bryce’s murder to protect Clay and Alex.[25]

In the fourth season, Zach started drinking heavily which was presumably because of his guilt for what he did to Bryce. He told Winston that he feels bad as Bryce might not have died if it wasn’t for him. He also asked Winston to tell Mrs. Walker that he’s sorry if he dies during what they believed was a school shooting.[30]

Zach agreed to tell Winston and Diego who actually killed Bryce and met them at the pier. He was drunk and told them that it was him all along. Diego, knowing Zach was lying, started beating him. Zach hallucinated himself in the place of Diego, so it was similar to what Bryce must’ve seen when Zach beat him up.[42]

At prom, Zach told Alex and Jessica that Bryce ruined all three of their lives and that even though he didn’t deserve to die, they deserve to live.[43]

Montgomery de la Cruz

Monty was Bryce's former friend. Monty tried to help Bryce by threatening everyone who could get Bryce in trouble, although Bryce didn't appreciate this. Shortly before Bryce's death, their friendship ends as Bryce was disgusted by Monty raping Tyler. Monty was later killed in jail and framed for Bryce's murder.

S01E05-Tape-3-Side-A-017-Alex-Justin-Bryce-Monty

Bryce and Monty making fun of Tyler in "Tape 3, Side A".

In Season 1, Bryce and Montgomery appear to be friends. They are shown together on numerous occasions. In particular, Montgomery is shown with Bryce, Justin, and Zach pushing Clay and Alex into a drinking contest, and later is at a party at Bryce's house. He and Bryce are seen together with other jocks at the Winter Formal, and they both, at some point, harass Hannah and Courtney over the kiss photo. He and Bryce both moon Tyler after Clay takes a photo of his ass. He is also at the party at Bryce's house when Justin calls Bryce a rapist.

He and Bryce are later shown hitting baseballs together and discussing the next season, and the past. It appears, however, that Bryce does not trust him with everything. When Montgomery asks how Bryce injured his hand, Bryce lies and claims he punched the wall (he punched Clay Jensen). Later, when Montgomery and Tyler fight (which Montgomery initiated), Bryce breaks it up.[5]

S02E01-The-First-Polaroid-052-Montgomery-Bryce

Monty and Bryce in "The First Polaroid".

Monty would do pretty much anything for Bryce during the second season, to 'keep him clean'. Knowing of his sexual assaults on Jessica Davis and Hannah Baker, whether he believes they happened, he sticks by him and attempts to drag down anyone who could get him in trouble. He threatens the tape subjects and testifiers by leaving intimate objects and threatening notes around them behind Bryce's back and even vandalized Tony's car and the Baker's drug store. It is also revealed that he saw Bryce rape Hannah, but did nothing, though he was far enough away to not see much, so he may have assumed the sex was consensual. It is also shown that he hides a place from Bryce where he goes when he can't stay at home.

When Bryce finds out that Montgomery is the one who threatened others on his behalf, he is disgusted, but still gives Montgomery his lawyer to make sure charges are not pressed, though he admits he only did this because Montgomery used his car, and he knows after the rape charges have been filed, no jury would believe he had no idea.

S02E05-The-Chalk-Machine-057-Bryce-Monty

Bryce and Monty in "The Chalk Machine".

Towards the end of the season, Monty seems to be more pissed off on behalf of Bryce than Bryce is. Monty talks about ways of dealing with Marcus Cole for costing them their season and Tyler Down just because he is back, and anyone else trying to bring Bryce down still. Bryce is confused as to why Monty wants to make trouble in Bryce's life, considering Bryce's current situation. He responds with "Yeah, that's a great idea at this particular time.", when Monty pushes Bryce, Bryce boldly responds with "We are not going to do a goddamn thing.", telling Monty he is on probation. Monty doesn't get this and believes Bryce is saying that he can't be a part of it but is telling him to go ahead. Bryce tells him once more, with an aggressive "I guess your father didn't beat you hard enough, 'cause you're still a fucking idiot. The last time you tried to help, you almost fucked up my whole plea deal.". They have a heated argument and Bryce ends the conversation by getting up and saying "I want you to leave it alone, and leave me alone. We're done.". Monty does leave Bryce alone and believes that he and Bryce are no longer friends. This may have been a contributing factor to his assault on Tyler.[13]

S03E05-Nobody's-Clean-066-Monty-Bryce

Monty and Bryce leaving the party in "Nobody's Clean".

Their friendship seems to recover as they go to a party thrown by Hillcrest students. Monty gets drunk and beats up Winston after he and Monty had just hooked up and he wanted to get to know Monty better, not knowing Monty suffered from internalized homophobia. Bryce albeit irritated just assumed it happened because Monty was drunk and that he's just like that. He pays Winston a large sum of money to keep quiet and then later he and Monty blackmail him after discovering somebody took the SATs for him.[18]

However, right before his death, Bryce learns about how Monty raped Tyler. Ironically this disgusts Bryce (as he had started to reform himself, and wanted to start making things right). This leads to Bryce confronting Monty before the homecoming game, in front of another player, Charlie. He tells Monty to leave Tyler alone or else he'll tell the cops about what Monty did during the events of the second season.[23] Monty feels betrayed as he considered himself and Bryce to be brothers. After the game, he says that he'll "end" him. Bryce calls him saying he won't because he's always been a coward.[25]

S03E11-There-Are-a-Few-Things-I-Haven't-Told-You-077-Monty-Charlie-Bryce

Bryce confronting Monty about raping Tyler in "There Are a Few Things I Haven't Told You".

Monty attends Bryce's funeral along with the other athletes. He appears to have a good relationship with Bryce's father, who he happily greeted before the service started. Monty asked Justin why he was attending as he and Bryce weren't friends at the end, to which Justin replied that Monty wasn't either but they both loved him at some point.

Marcus lied during the trial between the Bakers and the school, saying that Hannah used him as she was interested in Bryce. In reality, Bryce made a bet with Marcus to “get his hands in Hannah”, which he tried to do during a Valentine’s date and caused him to get on the tapes.

S02E07-The-Third-Polaroid-032-Bryce-Marcus

Marcus asking Bryce for help in "The Third Polaroid".

When Bryce later saw Marcus at school, he confronted Marcus for bringing up his name in court. Marcus explained that he did him a favor, because now the court believes Hannah liked Bryce he can make up a story about how Hannah spread lies about Bryce after getting rejected. Bryce appreciated this and later continued the lie in court.[34]

Tyler and Cyrus blackmailed Marcus with a video of him getting a lapdance by a stripper in the Clubhouse. Marcus informed Bryce about this and said he needs to help him. Bryce told Marcus he doesn’t owe him anything and can’t get involved. Marcus disagreed, his argument being that he had lied in court in favor of Bryce and Bryce should return the favor. Bryce told him that he didn’t ask for him to lie and it’s on himself.[36]

S02E08-The-Little-Girl-051-Bryce-Marcus

Bryce confronting Marcus about exposing him in "The Little Girl".

Marcus got blackmailed again, this time telling him to expose Bryce or he’ll be exposed. He gave a speech as Student Body President at a big school event, where he mentioned that the values of Liberty have changed and he’s part of the problem. He said he has been protecting a rapist like Bryce Walker.

Bryce angrily confronted Marcus about what he did. Marcus defended himself by saying that he had asked for help, but Bryce didn’t do anything. He also said that he could still protect his future while the word that Bryce is a rapist had already spread around. Bryce told him he made a big mistake. After this, they are never seen interacting again.[10]


Scott Reed

S02E11-Bryce-and-Chloe-004-Scott-Bryce-Monty

Scott and Monty carrying Bryce on their shoulders in "Bryce and Chloe"

Bryce and Scott appear to be friends throughout the second season. They are often seen together, and it appears that Scott believes Bryce's lies about the night Jessica claims she was raped. However, as the evidence builds up and points more and more to the fact that Bryce is a liar and a rapist, Scott is shown to heavily disapprove of Bryce's actions. He still defends Bryce, however, when Clay attacks him, by pulling Clay away.[12] He states multiple times that he is not a rapist (to Clay and Montgomery), and even tells Montgomery that they (the jocks) have protected Bryce for too long, showing he is unwilling to condone Bryce's actions. He even tells some of the people on the tapes where Montgomery sometimes sleeps––thinking that he has the Polaroids––so that Bryce's actions will be put to justice. At the end of the trial, he is shown sitting on the side of Hannah's parents, rather than that of the school. Scott and Bryce never share any scenes after this, leaving it unknown how Bryce feels about Scott's actions.[1]

Quotes

You wanna call it rape, call it rape. Same difference.
— Bryce to Clay, when asked if he raped Hannah.[src]


She wanted me. Me. She was practically begging me to fuck her. If that's rape, then every girl at this school wants to be raped.
— Bryce to Clay, after unknowingly admitting to raping Hannah, this line was also secretly being recorded by Clay as a confession.[src]


I got your back, always. Whatever you did, if you even fucking did anything. We can take care of it. I mean, anything. You know my one rule. Keep me clean.
— Bryce to Justin[src]


What's mine is yours, right?
— Bryce to Justin before raping Jessica[src]

I don't think that you can speak to me that way.
— Bryce to Mr. Porter[src]


You've got more to lose than I do.
— Bryce to Mr. Porter[src]


A favor is only a favor if someone asks for it.
— Bryce[src]


People talk a lot about what it means to be a member of a team. The brotherhood, the sense of belonging to something greater than yourself. It's about fighting together, but it's also about family. About knowing who will be there for you, always. And when it's right, when it's 11 guys working as one, there's nothing like it. No greater feeling in the world.
— Bryce Walker[src]


Bryce: "One wrong turn and you're plummeting down, down, down. Splat. Game over."
Hannah: "Did you bring me here to murder me?"
Bryce: "No. No, I just mean we take it for granted is all life and how precarious it is. Coming here helps me step out of mine sometimes."
―  Bryce to Hannah at a bridge[src]
You're making a big fucking mistake!
— Bryce to Jessica when getting arrested[src]

Aren't you here to hurt me now? So, do it, man. Seriously. If it'll make you feel better, go ahead. You'd be doing me a favor. (...) Come on, dude. You could kill the monster. This town would celebrate. You're right, I hurt people. I don't get to start over. 'Cause no one's gonna let me. So, go ahead. Shoot me.
— Bryce telling Tyler to shoot him[src]


Bryce Hallucination: " Hey buddy. Aww, you knew this was coming right? The dead don't stay dead in your life. Not for long."
Clay: "You're not here."
Bryce Hallucination: "You think I'm gone. You got rid of me? I'm fucking immortal Jensen. I'll live as long as you do. Every time you look at Jessica, or think about Hannah, or look at Ani. I'll be right there."
Clay: "Fuck you."
Bryce Hallucination: "You think you're going to get out of this town, go off to college, I'll be there. Graduate, get some shit job, I'll be there. Or maybe you get some sweet gig in finance, maybe you'll be a lawyer like your mom, and I will be all over that shit. I'll be everywhere you look as long as you live. Fucking Jessica. Fucking Hannah. Fucking Ani."
Clay: "No!"
Bryce Hallucination: "you can't punish me, but you can punish her."
Clay: "You're dead. You're gone from this earth. You're a bloated corpse with a hole in your head."
Bryce Hallucination: "I may be gone from this earth, but I will be reborn in the bodies of a million men. And there is nothing, there is nothing you can do to stop me. You're not well Clay, you need help."
―  Clay hallucinating Bryce at school[src]
Hey, Jess. It's me. Yeah, I know. A tape. Yes, I did it on purpose. Not to be a dick, but... Because the day I listened to those tapes, my life changed. And I bet the same is true for you. And for Justin, and Zach, and everyone, and I wanted to give you this. I'd thought you'd hear me better if I wasn't standing in front of you. You said I had no idea what I'd done to you. You were right. I can't stop thinking about you, replaying that night in my mind. I raped you. I heard you say no, and I did it anyway. Because I wanted to, and I didn't care how you felt. Justin tried to stop me. I wish I could tell you that there was a tiny voice in my head telling me that what I was doing was wrong. There wasn't. I never had one of those before. That's not an excuse, it just is. I raped Hannah Baker. I raped 7 or 8 other girls. Some of them were my girlfriends at the time. I won't name them, but if they choose to tell you, believe them. I'm broken. I know that. I'm a person in a thousand pieces. But I'm seeing a counselor. It's a long, hard process, but... little by little, you start picking up the pieces. And you realize that what you're making is a mirror. And the more pieces you put together, the more you see yourself. I'd like to say that I'm not the same person who raped you, anymore, Jess. But what I've come to realize is that I'll always be him. But I'm trying to be better. To be someone worth something in this world. I have this dream that I could be someone who protects people somehow. Protects them from people like me, like who I was, I don't know. I am so fucking sorry for what I did to you, and I know words add up to nothing compared to what I took from you. Someone once told me that it'll take me a lifetime to learn what sorry is. They're right. But I'm starting. If you've listened this far, thank you. It's more than I deserve. I wouldn't blame you if you smashed this tape to fucking pieces.I would. I wish you the best, Jess, truly. Goodbye.
— Bryce's tape for Jessica[src]

Bryce: "I win. Come on, why the silent treatment? I'm just here to pay my respects to Justy."
Jessica: "You killed him."
Bryce: "Yeah, I did. I don't rape Hannah, none of us are here, right? He doesn't run away. Doesn't start shooting up. Letting men fuck him."
Jessica: "How can one person cause so much pain?"
Bryce: "Look in the mirror. You let me die."
Jessica: "You deserved to die."
Bryce: "Yeah, maybe. But here we are. You probably have it too."
Jessica: "Fuck you."
Bryce: "Yeah. I win"
―  Jessica's hallucination of Bryce talking to her at the hospital.[src]
Bryce: "I'm on those tapes. It's my day too."
Jessica: "No. Your day's gone. Long gone."
Bryce: "You need me in this world. Otherwise, what would girls like you start riots about?"
Jessica: "Oh, there's plenty."
Bryce: "Still, I kinda feel like I won."
Jessica: "You didn't. I was looking around today at graduation, and I was thinking about how Justin was missing, and Hannah. But then I thought, I love these people. Clay Jensen, Zach, and Courtney, Ryan freakin' Shaver, for fuck's sake. In what kind of world do I love all these kinds of people? The world you made. We had to love each other at the end of it all. You did that."
Bryce: "So that's something, right?"
Jessica: "Sure."
―  Hallucination Bryce last appearance to Jessica as the group is burying the tapes.[src]

Trivia

  • Bryce and Barry have earned multiple awards, which are displayed in their home.[32]
  • His address is revealed to be 3025 Drakewood Drive, Evergreen County, CA 94181.[46]
  • The name of his Instagram is 'brycemoney23'.
  • Bryce is the only person on the tapes who never received or heard them, due to Clay passing him over in order to coerce him into confessing to raping Hannah and to give them to Mr. Porter. Bryce is also the last person on Hannah's list to learn of the existence of the tapes. In "The World Closing In", Bryce finally hears the tapes.
  • Out of all the 13 people's mistakes and crimes on the tape, Bryce's is considered to be the most serious, as the tapes show his complicity in two rapes. Tyler even points this out to the others when suggesting to use Bryce as a scapegoat.
  • Bryce's family is very affluent, as shown by his large house with a big pool and pool house in the backyard, where Justin stayed in.[32]
  • Bryce seems to wear prescription glasses, indicating that he may be nearsighted or farsighted. Although the glasses were first seen in court during trial, Bryce mentioned that he hadn't worn them in a while. Later, he's seen wearing them in class.
  • In actuality, Bryce truly is the reason for Hannah Baker’s suicide. Despite everyone on the tapes were just as guilty of causing Hannah Baker’s suicide, Bryce is responsible for most of the reasons as it was his actions that made everyone betray Hannah:
    1. Bryce is the original source of Hannah’s slut-shaming because he sent out an up-skirt photo of Hannah, taken by Justin on their date to everyone around the school. This is how the 'Hannah the Slut' label began.
    2. Bryce started the hot or not list that Alex contributed to and sexually assaulted Hannah after she was labeled the best ass.
    3. Bryce deduced who the two women in the photo sent around the school were and told Montgomery who began harassing Courtney and Hannah.
    4. Bryce initiated a bet with Marcus to see if Marcus could get Hannah to have sex with him.
    5. Bryce made fun of Zach after he was rejected by Hannah making him feel insulted (debatable).
    6. Bryce raped Jessica the night of her party which Hannah, hidden away in a closet, was forced to witness.
    7. Bryce raped Hannah.
    • Tony actually references this in Season 3 by pointing out that even though Hannah's tapes are dedicated to other people, they are still all Bryce's tapes.
  • In his own tape, Bryce confessed to raping Jessica, Hannah, and seven or eight other girls. He refused to name the others to protect their privacy but stated that if they came forward, they should be believed. This effectively makes Bryce a serial rapist.
  • Bryce played pitcher on the baseball team and receiver on the football team.
