Second / The Second

Hello!

I have a question. Do you need the article the before the word second in my example? My opinion - no.

Are you ready for your English lesson, which is second in your timetable?

Thank you.
In your sentence "second" is an adjective - adjectives do not need articles (except when used as an absolute adjective - and your use is not that use.)
