5 Freeridge Season 2 Theories After That Wild Cliffhanger

Mariluna is blunt about who she is and what she’s about in Freeridge’s finale; she’s rich and loves playing games. She offers Gloria (Keyla Monterroso Mejia) and her pals a million dollars and gives them three months to blow the whole thing, with the promise of $10 million if they succeed. Unfortunately, the cliffhanger at the end suggests she won’t live to see this promise delivered.

But Mariluna’s passing won’t be the end of the story. It’s unclear who she willed her millions to, but it’s not Sad Eyes and Joker. If anything, it’s probably going to her surviving relatives: Geny and Reuben. Fans are theorizing (or perhaps just hoping) that the Martinezes honor Mariluna’s promise to the new Core Four and that Gloria’s hopes to help her dad aren’t dashed.

Whether or not Gloria’s dream of getting her dad into the best cancer treatment center comes true, Stage 3 cancer is nothing to sneeze at. The chemo, radiation, and medications are already taking a toll on Javier in the Season 1 finale, and that’s just the beginning of the treatment.

The reality of cancer is that the treatment is sometimes as bad as the disease it’s trying to combat, and Javier will probably get worse before he (hopefully) improves.

Thus far, all of the crossover characters in Freeridge have been secondary or minor characters from On My Block. The closest thing to bringing back one of the main stars was the phone call to Jamal.

But that may all change in Season 2. Freeridge reminded viewers of Jamal’s close relationship with Marisol, but Ruby was her actual blood relation, her grandson. That makes Marisol his great-aunt, and a family funeral (if Mariluna is indeed dead) is bound to bring people to mourn. If Jamal and Ruby are no-shows, fans will be pretty upset.

Real talk: Gloria breaking up with Rusty probably means they’re toast, even if she did come to find him and apologize for freaking out — not because Rusty isn’t going to agree to a relationship over it, but because of his and Ines’ kiss.

Season 1’s love triangle was about Cam, Demi, and Dre working out their issues. For Season 2, moving to a Gloria-Rusty-Ines situation makes a lot of sense. One can only hope Dre gets plenty of podcast material out of it.

The RollerWorld money may not have been officially cursed, but On My Block was right; all money is cursed because there are those without it who will do anything to get some.

And it’s not just the RollerWorld money that Sad Eyes and Joker may go after. If the Martinez family inherits Mariluna’s wealth, they’ll be the twosome’s first targets. If Geny and Rueben honor Mariluna’s promise and give some of that money to Gloria and her friends? Everyone should be worried.
