The second season of Netflix’s ‘My Life With the Walter Boys’ brings back the complicated romance of Jackie Howard with the Walter brothers, Cole and Alex. The ten-episode season takes many twists and turns, and as much as the actors make the show better by expertly inhabiting their roles, credit also goes to the people tirelessly working behind the scenes to bring the story to life. The final episode of the show pays tribute to one such behind-the-scenes person who played an integral role in making the show what it is today.
