The opening scene of Season 2 dives a little deeper into Sara’s life and shows what kind of freak she was before her untimely death.

A confrontation between the doctor and Sara’s mother reveals that Sara was not a planned pregnancy and was a result of “sexual abuse” that happened years ago. She also reveals that the man who raped her was mentally ill and is now inside a mental institution.

The entire scenario makes us believe that she is somewhat similar to her father. She believes that no one loves her and everybody wants to kill her. With everything that happened in the final episode of Season1, it can be said that it triggered her chain of thoughts and worsened her mental illness. Also, intake of drugs also could have played a massive role in worsening her condition.

‘Who Killed Sara?’ Season 2 premieres exclusively on Netflix on Wednesday, May 19.
