SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “12th Quarter,” the Season 2 finale of “Chad Powers,” now streaming on Disney + and Hulu.
It sure is tough being Chad Powers.
Infamous quarterback Russ Holliday (Glen Powell) knows this well. But he’s not going to let anything stop him from continuing his double life as the socially awkward star of the South Georgia Catfish football team — especially not his teammate Gerry (Colton Ryan), who’s closer than ever to exposing Russ’ secret.
Throughout Season 2, Gerry grows increasingly suspicious of Chad, going so far as stalking the starting quarterback and those closest to him. He doesn’t know that Russ is hiding behind that prosthetic mask, but he’s pretty sure something’s amiss. Why else would Coach Ricky (Perry Mattfeld) be sneaking over to the QB’s house? And then he spots Chad’s father, “Howard Powers” (Toby Russ), wearing a wig and prosthetic nose to the homecoming banquet.
In the penultimate episode, “11th Quarter,” Gerry breaks into Russ and his friend Danny’s (Frankie A. Rodriguez) house and attacks Danny. The season finale opens by revealing their ransacked basement. Gerry stole the prosthetics used to disguise Russ as Chad. Danny is OK, but there’s blood running down his face.
