Maddie and Wally did not have a well-defined relationship. Maddie was too involved with the crime-solving of her death to notice any romantic feelings budding in her. However, it was evident in the show's first season that Wally holds a soft spot for Maddie in his heart.

Wally and Maddie attended the school dance together, where they shared a kiss. However, this did not lead to any development in their relationship, though Wally felt jealous of the Maddie-Simon bond. How this love triangle develops in Paramount+'s School Spirits season 2 remains to be seen.

In the first season, Wally and other friends of Maddie helped her unravel the mystery of her death while digging out information about theirs. Wally attempted the reverse chronological order of events and confronted Mr. Martin about them.

Wally and Charley went to the fallout shelter to explore more information and look through Mr. Martin’s hidden notebooks and papers. While they discovered a discrepancy about Janet’s death, they found out information about themselves, too.

Wally, who was a famous football player on his school team, was tackled on the field of his homecoming game, and the force of the football hitting him killed him instantly. Unfortunately, he needed to know more to transcend from the purgatory.

They realized the teacher had been lying to them all along, and there was more to dig out about the mystery. They further located a box filled with items that connected to their deaths at the time that Rhonda burst into the shelter. Unfortunately, they understood they were locked in the fallout shelter for the present.

As the finale of the first season shows, Janet is leaving town in Maddie’s body. Maddie’s spirit will need to track down Janet to regain her body. Maddie may try to get Janet to come to school and try hypnosis to get her body.

If Maddie gets her body back, she must bid goodbye to her newly acquired friends, including Wally. However, her friends may be able to crossover since they will have done a good deed by helping Maddie.

What turn Maddie’s story takes in School Spirits season 2, created by Megan and Nate Trinrud, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, catch the show's first season, currently streaming on Netflix and Paramount+.
