It is not uncommon for second interviews to start by asking if you have formulated questions about the position since the first interview. It is always a good idea to have two questions prepared. You do not want to start the interview with an answer of "Nope, I'm good." If you cannot come up with any good questions, one that always goes over well is "What do you consider the overall philosophy of the department".

Situation related questions are common in second interviews. Employers want to judge both your decision making skills and your ability to confidently answer these questions. You may be asked to describe how you handled a bad situation or how you shared your opinion. Be honest. Practice answers that will show employers that you have a professional attitude.
Avoid answering any question that reflects negatively on a previous workplace or coworker. If you are asked to describe how you handled disagreement with a supervisor, kindly tell the interviewer you cannot recall a time where you disagreed, and then answer the question in hypothetical form "but if I did come across that situation, I would"

After meeting Person Z and Person Q, I can tell that the entire department is organized to help meet those goals, and it appears to me that this is an environment with a clear path ahead of it."
