So suck onthat, Con-heads.
Excuse me, that was petty.
But as far as season finales go, this one was, frankly, a bit of a dud.
We certainly didnt need that last-minute, highly contrived Steven and Taylor fight or any more heart-wrenching Susannah flashbacks.
But the show decided that we did, so were doing it.
I would also like to know if Conrad is serious right now.
And also, where does he get off?
And also, how dare he?
He does, eventually, but only for the pleasure of taunting them both mercilessly for the entire drive.
I was gonna get you a Stanford [sweatshirt] because I, you know …
So that was your first kiss?
Oh, no … how many times was it last summer, guys?
Belly, which one of us is a better kisser, me or him?
My God, hes such an insufferable little shit.
Dont worry; there is no sex.
This isntGame of Thrones.
Of course he still does.
Its quite a pickle!
Note also that Con wouldnt have said this to Belly at all if Jeremiah had not begged him to.
Jeremiah only wants Belly to be happy and to be with the guy she really wants.
And if thats Conrad, then Jere will drop it forever because he loves her that much.
Belly has told us in voice-over that she and Conrad are over.
She has told Conrad theyre over to his face.
Shes told Jeremiah several times that she wants to be with him.
Elsewhere in this episode, Laurel makes a friend.
Belly essentially forces her volleyball coach to let her back on the team by showing up to camp uninvited.
Did we learn anything new in this episode?
Not really, no.
Did we resolve anything that hadnt yet been resolved?
Only if you count volleyball camp.
Did we advance the plot in any major way?
What do you think?
Emotional Gut Punches
Belly and dying Susannah spooning and crying.
Susannah being there for Laurel when she gave birth to Belly.
Jeremiah, sniffling, If youre what she needs, then I wont get in the way again.
Listen, this little baby is acting his face off, and I love him.
