Warning: This post contains spoilers for the season 2 finale of My Life with the Walter Boys.

Alex got what he wanted in season 2 of My Life with the Walter Boys — until, of course, he didn’t.

After a few weeks of clandestine hook-ups with Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez), Alex (Ashby Gentry) gets the shock of a lifetime when he hears her confess her love for his brother, Cole (Noah LaLonde), who’s also just said he’s in love with her.

The season ends there, with fans waiting with baited breath (again!), as Jackie finds herself in an increasingly complicated love triangle with the two brothers.

Gentry, 26, tells PEOPLE that there were a few versions of that finale confrontation, and he was surprised by the final cut.

“There’s some stuff that didn’t make the cut,” he explains. “Especially the end — there’s a lot of stuff [that was] in that last scene [in the scripts] that is not in there.”

“There are pieces I wish made [the cut],” Gentry admits.

“I think there was a crossroads of like, are we going to go this direction or are we going to go that direction? And based off of how that was cut, and the scripts I’ve read from season 3, I think I know why they cut it,” he says. “And I’m like, ‘Okay, because they’re going in this direction.'”

Gentry — who knows what’s to come in season 3 as it has already started production — teases the story will take an unexpected turn.

Now that he can look at the end of season 2 with some sense of where the story is going in season 3 — which the series was renewed for before season 2 even premiered — the actor says, “The aftermath of the cliffhanger will manifest in it in a way that I didn’t think was going to happen.”

“It’s not that I see the cliffhanger differently,” he starts, trying to explain without divulging any future spoilers.

“Okay, here’s a good way to articulate it without spoiling anything. When I was preparing for season 3 hitherto a few days ago when I got the scripts, it was just based off of the information that I had from season 2, and part of that information was the dialogue in the portions of the final scene that were cut.”

Based on the dialogue Gentry thought would make the season 2 finale, he says, “I thought, okay, we’re going this way. And now, reading the [season 3] scripts, I’m like, nope, we’re going that way.”

In a complete pivot, Gentry is actually partial to Cole’s story this season, rather than his own.

“I mean, I’m a little Team Cole. I like his arc this season,” he admits.

“I think it’s really interesting that he’s forced to find his way in a real material sense. It’s no longer this introspective, spiritual journey of, who am I without football? It’s now time to figure it out, ’cause you’re graduating this year and you got to figure out what you’re going to do with your life.”

He adds, ‘It’s so funny to parallel his yearning for that life with his yearning for Jackie. I think that’s really interesting.”

As for Alex and Jackie, Gentry says, “I really like the Alex-Jackie moments this year. I think they’re so much better than the first season.”
