After the “Good Trouble” Season 4 finale left viewers reeling after dramatic cliffhanger, the new teaser for Season 5 sees the Coterie recovering from the tragic incident with the unanswered question: who got shot?

“Someone that you care about got shot,” a voice echoes as several familiar faces, most notably Maia Mitchell (Callie), return to the Coterie in the wake of the shooting.

“I don’t know what to say,” Gael says in the teaser as the friends solemnly gather around their kitchen table while Davia asks, “Do you think they’re gonna make it?”
