This article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of “School Spirits” Season 2.

In the first three episodes of “School Spirits” Season 2, Maddie Nears (Peyton List) realizes that while she’s stuck in limbo in the high school, her body, which has been possessed by the ghost of ’50s student Janet (Jess Gabor), is AWOL.

Her friends, led by Simon (Kristian Ventura) and Xavier (Spencer MacPherson), track Janet-as-Maddie to her childhood home, but then lose her… until she unexpectedly turns up to Maddie’s very surprised mother (Maria Dizzia), who assumed that her daughter is probably dead.

The show’s creators, Oliver Goldstick, Megan Trinrud and Nate Trinrud, teased what happens in the next few episodes (which roll out on a weekly basis) and explained that huge “Veronica Mars” homage.
