SPOILERS ahead for Locke & Key season 2. Locke & Key season 2 killed off Tyler’s girlfriend Jackie, played by Genevieve Kang, in a shocking twist. The relationship between Tyler and Jackie is at the center of Locke & Key season 2 , as the couple grapples with the central challenge of growing old.
In the Locke and Key season 2 finale, he tells Kinsey and Bode that he won’t be using the Memory Key, even though he’s about to turn 18 and will soon lose all of his memories of the magic. Instead, he wants to leave it behind him and start fresh.
Of course, we know that Dodge (Laysla De Oliveira) uses the Identity Key to turn herself into Ellie in the season 1 finale, meaning the Locke siblings actually throw Ellie into the Omega Door. As Locke and Key season 2 opens up, however, the Lockes are clueless as Ellie is still missing.
This is extremely sad for Tyler, and Jackie’s death likely plays into the reason why he wants to forget about the keys. In the Locke and Key season 2 finale, he tells Kinsey and Bode that he won’t be using the Memory Key, even though he’s about to turn 18 and will soon lose all of his memories of the magic.
Who is Jackie in Locke and Key?
Jackie Veda is a main character in Netflix’s Locke & Key. A close friend of Eden’s, Jackie catches Tyler’s eye upon his relocation to Matheson. She soon becomes tangled within his complex family and the magic of the keys .
Blaming both himself and Dodge for Jackie’s death, Tyler’s immediate reaction is to seek revenge against the demon for what it did to Jackie. Although calmed down by Kinsey, Tyler ultimately does kill Dodge with the Alpha Key, avenging Jackie’s demise.
When Tyler doesn’t attend the 5K, Jackie is furious, and she calls the relationship between the two — and the friendship — quits. The two do not talk for several days after. The two eventually reconcile when Jackie helps the Locke Children dispose of Dodge’s body through the Black Door. They begin dating shortly after.
As part of a trap for the Lockes, Dodge uses the Demon Key to have Jackie possessed by a demon. Tyler narrowly manages to escape and becomes determined to save his girlfriend by crafting a new key that will “unlock” the demon from her soul.
Much to Tyler’s relief, Jackie is able to take the Alpha Key from him, proving that she’s human once more, and they express their love for each other. However, moments later, Jackie starts bleeding liquid metal from her eyes, collapses and dies in the arms of a devastated Tyler. The paramedics later tell Tyler that it looks like she died of a brain aneurysm.
Tyler, wanting to impress Jackie, later uses the Head Key to insert knowledge about the wars into his head.
With the help of Duncan, Tyler successfully creates the Alpha Key. Tyler and Duncan follow Jackie from her house to the cliffside home that Gabe is using, where Tyler witnesses Jackie giving Gabe the Demon Key after presumably using it to help expand his army.
What is the problem with Locke and Key season 2?
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.
