Warning - The rest of this article contains spoilers for School Spirits Season 2, Episode 8.
The Direct sat down with Kristian Ventura, where theSchool Spiritsstar helped break down what exactly happened to Simon.
What Happened to Simon in the School Spirits Season 2 Finale?
“Oh, So This Is What a Season 3 Would Look Like.”
You know, here’s how the producers explained that moment to me.
But it’s the perfect role reversal.
I mean, Simon has done a lot for Maddie these past couple of seasons.
Now it’s like, your turn, baby.
Maybe he could scream Maddie’s name, and she’ll be there.
And lo and behold, he is trapped in the underworld.
It was such an act of unconditional love.
It was an act of, I don’t know what the danger is.
I just got to run and get her.
And that kind of knee-jerk reaction is kind of what friends are for.
Is Someone Running Around In Simon’s Body Now?
“I DON’T EVEN KNOW!”
First, it was Janet taking over Maddie, and then Mr. Martin borrowing Mr. Anderson’s body.
Did Simon cross paths with a mysterious soul?
I DON’T EVEN KNOW!
I don’t know.
I really don’t thinkAre you saying that his body should be lying around somewhere in the school?
Ventura: Simon, saying, ‘where the hell is Maddie?’
Trapped in that scar is the big question mark.
Mr. Martin, I need to figure out.
He didn’t tell me something, and it’s something important.
This is beyond the red rooms.
This is beyond scars.
This is something about the hospital and the school.
What is underneath these places that allowed ghosts?
What did he find?
Kristian Ventura: I think he feels burnt out.
I can’t even go to college anymore.
That’s going to be on my record forever.
He’s just burnt out.
And I think what he learns is there is no such thing as a jail-free card.
There are consequences to everything.
So it’s a heartbreaking moment.
There’s nothing left for him to give.
He’s just completely 0% battery.
What’s Simon’s College Future In School Spirits?
“Simon Hasn’t Done a Single Thing For Himself.”
It was, you know, it’s either clean your room or call Northwestern.
He’s picked up that phone.
He did something for himself, and when he hung up, he just sat back in the chair.
It was the first time his soul had been restored.
And I always make the argument: why do we love people?
He just becomes a shadow.
He just becomes a figure of her.
He’s almost like an understudy of his own life.
He’s just there.
And so she needs a best friend to love.
Kristian Ventura: There’s a potential for so many great scenes in the third season.
Is that going to be Charlie?…
[Simon] deserves the world, and I hope that they rescue him.
