Previously on The Summer I Turned Pretty...

Today's open house has been cancelled.

So I need you all out of the house.

- The boardwalk. That's a great idea. - You should come with us, Skye.

You know, once they get to see more of Cousins,

and hang out with you guys,

they'll see why we love this place so much.

- You sure Milo's cool with you coming with me? - Why wouldn't he be?

Because we kissed for, like, two seconds?

Don't worry. I'm right here with you, okay?

You know, I just feel

everyone's slipping away,

and-and the house

is the last thing tying us together.

Everything's gone.

What the fuck, Julia?

I'm sorry.

This must be such a shock.

I-I spoke to your father this afternoon,

and-and he and I decided that it would be best

not to drag this out any longer than necessary.

I don't give a shit what the two of you decided on.

You had no right to touch anything in this house.

- Those were her things. - Breathe, man. Okay?

- Stop. - Everything's in storage.

I made sure that everyone

was very careful with every single thing.

I'm just doing what I have to do

- to sell this house. - Bullshit.

You could have said something.

You could have warned us.

All you want to do is fight our mom,

- constantly. - Okay, enough.

You're not the only one that's hurting here.

And I'm not the one you should be angry with.

Your mother could have warned you

that this was gonna happen.

She just wanted to make me the bad guy, as usual.

I'm so sorry that she was too busy dying

to make your life a little easier.

You know, it sucks that our grandfather

loved her more than you,

but I'm not surprised.

Conrad could have chosen his words better.

But he's not wrong.

The truth hurts.

All of it hurts.

Jere...

What did you say to them, anyway?

I told them about Shitmas.

I mean, I just wanted them to understand

why you're selling the house.

You shouldn't have done that.

That was private.

Listen, I'm not going to defend

what Conrad just said, okay?

That wasn't right.

B... I-I can't defend this either, Mom.

I mean, can you?

Uh...

Connie, come on... No.

Connie.

Of course, Dad did nothing to stop her.

Connie, what can he do?

Jere! He doesn't care about us!

Our dad was never going to win

a Father of the Year award.

He was flawed, that's for sure.

But when it counted, he was there at the end.

Conrad just couldn't see it.

He didn't want to.

And this asshole won't even pick up my... calls.

- Did you know about this? - Easy, Connie.

I'm, no, I'm serious. I'm serious.

- Did you know about this? - I-I didn't know

anything, okay? I swear I would have told you.

Would you have? Really?

Because we haven't seen each other in ten years.

Would a day at the boardwalk have been enough

- to make you betray your mom? - Listen,

I know we don't know each other very well,

but I-I wouldn't have sideswiped you like this.

Connie, come on.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

My whole life, I've looked up to Conrad.

He's always been smarter, faster, just... better.

Maybe part of me even needed that: someone to look up to.

But a lot's happened this year.

I don't feel that way anymore.

Okay, we can't just leave.

All right? The house isn't sold yet.

- We still have a chance. - A slim one.

I mean, full disclosure, Mom's realtor is expecting

multiple cash offers, all over asking,

no contingencies.

Thank you, Skye, for that bleak as fuck assessment.

Also, where are we going to sleep tonight?

I think there are some sleeping bags in the garage.

I'm not sleeping this house.

Okay, I... We don't have to. All right?

Okay, well, hotels are usually all booked up

around this time of year.

I feel like I should... go.

And I'd totally invite you guys to come stay with me,

but it's a pretty small place, so...

Yeah, maybe... maybe we should go, too.

They're this close to giving up.

Don't go yet.

I know a place we can crash for the night.

♪ Was always the loser ♪

♪ You thought it was cool ♪

♪ What's the move? What's the move? ♪

♪ Love me or leave me ♪

♪ I never could choose ♪

- ♪ Thanks to you ♪ - You sure about this, bro?

- ♪ Thanks to you ♪ - Yeah, sure.

- Quit whining. - ♪ It's over ♪

We should go home.

♪ I'm out, yeah...

All right.

Here we go.

Huh.

What, you kept that?

Perks of not cleaning out your wallet.

What if there's someone in there?

It's been closed for hours

and-and there's never any night guards. We're good.

Okay.

Shit.

Not a great plan.

It's from Avengers. RDJ.

"I understood that reference."

Can you guys, like, not? For just two seconds?

Right.

Okay, there's got to be another way, right?

We can try the pool gate.

Uh, we could also use my mom's key code.

Wait, are you sure? Your mom?

Yeah, it's fine. She's the manager

- at the restaurant here, so... - I mean,

wouldn't she get in trouble, though,

if, like, someone checked the logs?

No, no. She works the randomest hours,

so that alone shouldn't raise any red flags.

So long as we don't make a mess, like, at all,

should be good.

They won't even know we're here.

Thank you for not being on that whale boat, Cam Cameron.

Thank you.

- Thanks. - Thank you, Cam.

- Thank you, Cam. - Thanks.

Hello?

So what do we do now?

Ugh. Could we scavenge for food?

I need something in my system other than sugar.

Allow me to escort you to the kitchen.

Actually, wait. Can I come with you?

I have really specific snack requirements.

Uh-uh, Taylor. No, you're coming with me.

We'll fashion, like, blankets out of, like,

- curtains and some shit. - No, I'm on snack patrol right now.

Okay. So? I need your loudest voice

to scare away all the murderers.

Yeah, I'm Team Murderers.

Okay, fine. No, I mean, as long as you're cool

with, like, sleeping on, like, dusty polyester sheets.

I hate you so much.

Why do you need help with this?

What do you need me for?

All right, I think I know a place we could sleep.

Uh, you want to come?

Think I'm gonna go with Cam and Skye, actually.

I'll catch up with you later.

Are you okay?

I never should have gone to the boardwalk.

This is not your fault, Conrad.

There was no way you could have known what Julia was planning.

Maybe, but she never would have done it if I'd stayed back.

They fucking took everything.

And you heard Skye.

The house is going to sell fast.

No.

No, it's not over. I mean...

We're gonna figure something out.

Sometimes I hate myself

for how long it took me to notice it.

That invisible force between the two of them.

I wanted to tell Conrad that he had no right,

that he'd ignored Belly for all these years.

But it wasn't just up to Conrad.

It was Belly's choice, too.

So I forced myself to let it go.

There were more important things to worry about then, anyway.

What are you doing here? Don't you have class?

Yeah, class got canceled.

Thought I'd come see you and Mom.

Did Mom get the full-size Snickers for Halloween?

Mm-hmm.

You think Mom's insurance is going to accept

a sandwich bag full of receipts?

'Cause that's about all I got.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

If not, we'll figure something out.

So, how's...

you know, senior year?

It's fine, I guess.

Mom said you got homecoming king.

Yeah. I mean, the coronation was basically

preordained since freshman year.

- Right. - Yeah. So...

You take a date?

I went with Blake.

Oh, yeah. That's cool.

Are you seeing anyone?

You and I never really talked about what happened with Belly.

Jere, what happened last summer was fucked up.

I didn't even know that-that you two had kissed until after...

I was just hoping that you could...

What?

Give you my blessing?

I can't believe you came here like this.

You know what? Just do what you want.

You always do anyways.

Jere, I want to be with her.

And I... I really think that's what she wants, too.

But she's afraid of hurting you, Jere.

- Oh, is that right? - Yeah.

And it's tearing her up that you haven't responded

to her texts since last summer.

Yeah. Well, I've been busy.

Jere, I don't want you to hate us,

but I think about her all the time.

And it hurts, like, my chest physically hurts,

to not be able to tell her that I'm in love with her.

When your brother tells you something like that,

there's only one right answer.

Even if it doesn't feel right at all.

I'm not going to be the one to keep you guys apart.

So go for it.

Thank you.

Being around Belly this week

has made me remember all over again.

And my genius plan to stay pissed at her

and keep her at arm's length is a failure.

So I just keep telling myself over and over,

it'll never be me. It's always going to be Conrad.

Hey, Jere, wait up.

Hey.

I thought you were heading to the kitchen with Conrad.

Oh, no, they have plenty of hands.

Besides, I'd rather roam with you.

I mean, I'm just going to the screening room.

It's nothing special or anything.

Sounds like an adventure to me.

I mean, we never know what we'll find behind these doors.

It's a country club, not Narnia.

Mm, still.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

So much good stuff in here.

Huh.

What is this, like Turkish bath towels

and Egyptian cotton robes?

- This is ridiculous. - All right. All right, all right.

Go check the Lost and Found,

see if there's any extra sweaters.

Um... Wait...

Oh, my God.

I could legit be a Hadid sister in this.

Gotta take a photo.

Stop laughing.

This is so cute.

What, huh? New profile pic?

No, it's for Milo.

Sorry.

Can you get out of it?

Yes, I'm out of it.

Who doesn't bother to come back for this stuff, anyway?

People who tip really well.

I mean, for them, losing something is just another excuse

to get a... better something.

I don't know how your mind didn't get

all warped working here.

Careful. That's almost a compliment.

Almost.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I guess, uh, rich people don't come back

for their drugs, either.

Oh, this is cool.

- Oh, wow. This is perfect. - Ah.

It's the most glorious sleeping arrangement

one could ask for while spending exactly zero dollars.

Yes.

You do have a flair for the epic.

Oh, they left the projection door open.

I wonder if I can remember how to work this thing.

Almost got it.

Perfect. There we go.

Ooh. All right.

You ready for some shadow puppets?

- Uh, yeah. - Let's do it. All right.

- Oh, the bird. A classic. - Yes.

- It's a classic. - All right, but now...

- Snail. - Aw.

Wait, that's... Okay, that's impressive.

- Okay. - Let me see if I can do, like a...

maybe like a... wolf.

Ooh, all right.

Bunny rabbit.

Boop, boop.

- Wolf... eats the bunny rabbit! - Hey!

No, that is not how you play shadow puppets.

That's how I play shadow puppets.

When she looks at me like this,

I can almost let myself believe she sees me the way

she used to see Conrad.

Oh, the... The Apartment. That's...

Your mom, uh, wanted me to watch that with her last summer.

She said, um, Billy Wilder was way ahead of his time.

She did say that a lot.

Yeah, we watched a lot of movies last year.

She'd go all out.

I mean, she'd pick a theme

and watch, like, three movies in a row.

She'd get a million different snacks.

She'd drink the green juice that I made her

with a, um...

- A Twizzler straw? Yes. - Yes.

- I taught her that. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Oh, my God.

Oh, wait, hold on. Hold on.

Sharesies?

- Sharesies. - Yeah.

Oh-ho.

All right, you guys, you can throw

those canapés on this cart.

And I don't think anybody's gonna notice,

'cause they always prep way too much food

for deb season anyway. So...

Sounds good to me.

I heard something crazy today.

You know that guy Liam Meyer?

That rich kid from the East Side?

I heard he bought a Maserati

and then crashed it two days later.

Okay, so I know the answer is likely "daddy's money,"

but, um, how did a kid afford a Maserati?

Yeah, well, that was a whole other thing,

because, uh, his grandparents had, like,

this trust fund for him.

He got a judge to let him access it

a couple of years early. Boom. Maserati.

He got a judge involved?

Yeah, his parents were pissed.

Cam Cameron, fountain of gossip.

I did not expect that side of you.

You know, I have layers.

Okay. Uh, you go grab some tablecloths.

- I'll grab some cushions. - Okay.

Is all this for the debs?

- Yeah. - It's like...

I can't believe we're still doing something

that was basically started as, like, a...

a giant party to present

a bunch of hot virgins to society.

- It's like... - I don't know, Taylor.

I think you would have liked being a deb.

I'm sorry, have you met me?

I know you, Taylor.

Actually, I've known you a long-ass time.

Yeah, you and Bella used to play princess together for years.

So? You ran around asking everyone to play doctor.

That doesn't mean you grew up to be a complete perv.

Yeah, I'll-I'll come with you.

- I can't get it open. - Oh, no.

That's okay.

I'll get it. I'll clean it.

- I promise. - Thank you.

Sorry.

Steve-oh!

Did you know Liam Meyer got a judge involved

to help him access his trust?

Boy, I bet that turned out well.

Yeah, but...

if a guy like that can do it...

so could we.

Do what, Connie?

You really want to, like, sue Dad or something?

I don't know.

Maybe.

He refuses to fight Aunt Julia on this.

And I already told him I'm not giving up

until I save this house.

Hey, at least, you know, we're not alone.

It's kind of nice having...

everyone around.

You know, kind of feels like old times.

I know.

It's good seeing you and Belly get along again.

I know she missed having you as a friend.

Wow, I feel like I'm in a holiday movie.

You know Mom. She loves a theme.

I'm glad we all get to celebrate together this year.

You know?

Yeah, for sure.

Wow.

Look at this amazing table.

Martha Stewart can kiss my ass.

I love it when you swear.

Uh, uh, "ass" is not swearing.

- Susannah, say "motherfucker." - Steven.

- What? You said you loved it. - She motherfucking loves it.

Everybody sit down, please.

The food's getting cold.

So let's go around the table

and everyone say one thing they're thankful for.

Jere-bear?

Uh, I'll go last.

How about that?

No, he caught me, he caught me putting sugar

in his green juice.

Okay, Mom, you're ruining my healthy recipes.

It is culinary blasphemy.

Not ruining. Enhancing.

Yeah, like the moussaka?

Hey, I still say it tastes better

with little pieces of hot dog in it.

Ooh, Beck, no. If you're going to ruin a recipe,

ruin it with steak.

Does he know how badly

I've wanted to take Belly's hand like that?

Would he care?

When Jere was little,

he made these amazing sandwiches.

- And Conrad... - Mom, no.

...Conrad, whose sandwich-making skills

were PB and J at best,

he convinced Jere that, uh,

- crust made your hair curly. - Mm-hmm.

Oh, dude, that's right. Because you wanted straight hair.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.

So Jere never touched his sandwiches...

- Never. - ...and Conrad finished them off.

Oh. Devious.

You got me back, though.

Remember when you peed in my lunchbox?

Yeah, let's not talk about that.

- Okay. - Let's talk about it.

Uh, are you ready for board games?

I'm... I'm too full.

Come here. Belly, come up here.

Beck found a bunch of 90s clothes she wants you to try on.

I still haven't gotten through

the last batch of Susanna's baby tees.

I really don't know how I feel about

you wearing my mom's baby tees from college.

There's a lot of plaid. And ratty Oasis T-shirts

- she stole from me! - Don't listen to her.

This stuff is gold.

Yeah, Steven's setting up the Wii in the other room

- if you want to play some games. - Nah, I'm going to

call it a night.

Okay.

Uh, actually...

can I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah, what's up?

Next time Belly is coming over,

can you give me a heads-up or something?

What do you mean?

I thought you knew everybody was coming over.

Yeah, I did. But if you guys are going to be here together,

then I don't want to be around.

Jere, come on. It's Thanksgiving.

- Of course we're... - No, it's better for everyone

if we just keep some distance, okay?

You do your thing and I'll do mine.

Sure.

If that's what you want.

Good night.

You hear music?

Yeah.

♪ But I gotta know ♪

♪ Do you really like me? Do you really like me ♪

♪ Low on time, I'd like to...

- Oh, my God. - Ow.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I hope we didn't interrupt anything.

No, you didn't interrupt anything.

♪ Do you really like me...

Yeah, uh, we were just talking about, um,

you know, the-the deb ball, and, um, I figured I would just

show Taylor some moves.

I mean, they drilled them so deep into our head,

they're pretty hard to forget, right?

Yeah.

Were you guys looking

for something specific?

We were specifically looking for you.

We found a place to sleep.

I-I've been texting you, but...

That's-that's-that's my fault. Just...

- Shoddy reception. - Oh. - Mm.

...set in here?

- You play gin rummy? - This is her favorite part.

I'm not very good at it.

I am. Let me get the cards.

You don't have to entertain me, Mr. Baxter.

There's nothing I'd like better.

You know, uh, togetherness.

- Guess what I did last Christmas? - Whoa, whoa.

There's extra napkins if you need them.

Thank you.

I'll take one.

...then I came home and cleaned up

after Mr. Eichelberger.

He had a little eggnog party here.

So I'm way ahead this year.

Ah, three across, spades double,

high deals.

Six, eight.

Taylor, that's gross.

No, I saw a TikTok about this.

You just poke a couple holes

so that the smoke is, uh, able to pass through

and then you just...

Yeah, but you can't just...

you can't just smoke random weed.

Belly, it's not random weed.

It's Lost and Found rich people weed.

It's probably really good.

- Can you hand me another one? - Yeah.

Well, you need any help, Tay Tay?

Could you just give me a minute? Damn.

Okay, c...

can you just be a little more neat, please?

Also, you can't smoke in here.

The upholstery...

I'm not going to smoke in here.

What do you call it when somebody...

All right, uh, well,

why don't we take this outside

before Cam Cameron has a stroke?

I'm hitting the gas!

- Oh, yeah! - Oh, come on.

Doesn't really... It's not supposed to go that fast.

Can you try and be a little quiet?

'Cause we're actually not even supposed to be out here.

- Come on, hit the gas! - I'm hitting the gas.

Wait, guys, guys, guys.

I think I know what the problem is, man.

- What? - I think there's too many of us on here.

- Oh! - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That makes sense.

Oh! Comin' for you.

- You are so gonna pay for that. - Go, go, go!

All right, all right.

All right, all right.

- Should've stayed inside. - Need some help?

This is so annoying.

Weed is not supposed to be this difficult.

I mean, it's like...

Can I give it a shot?

- Yeah. Have at it. - Thanks.

Be gentle.

- Come on. - Oh, you want help?

What?

- What was that look? - Mm.

You and Steven. It just...

seems like there's kind of a vibe.

No, there's no vibe.

I save all my... all my vibing for Milo.

Okay.

Steven really hurt me last year.

It's just... It's not the kind of hurt

that just goes away easily.

You know?

- Yeah. - Or, like, ever, maybe.

Yeah, I get it.

I know you do.

I think I... I loved Conrad

longer and truer than anyone in my whole life.

And I'll probably never love anyone like that again.

To be honest, it's kind of a relief.

'Cause I don't know, I don't know if I could survive that.

Can we make a pact?

Can we just leave first love in the past?

Like, where it belongs?

Yeah. Yes. Yes.

I saw you and Jeremy on the boardwalk.

And tonight on the couch.

There's something there.

Doesn't matter how far apart you sit, you know?

It's there.

Yeah, I feel like there...

there could be something, you know?

- Mm-hmm. - Like this charge

building between us.

But, you know, then he reminds me

how much I hurt him before.

I don't know. I'm like...

I shouldn't even be thinking about him like that.

Mm-hmm. Almost got it.

Push, push!

- Put your back into it! - Oh, God!

All right. All right, this thing is officially dead.

Why don't we crash up there for the night?

Well, that would be perfect timing,

because I have discovered the secret of the apple bong.

Good job, Skye.

You know, that's surprising.

I have layers.

Great.

Start unpacking.

Taylor, volleyball camp is in four days.

It's not like they're going to drug test us.

Coach would have had to put that in her email, right?

What email?

The one that we got yesterday about camp.

Have you talked to Coach yet?

Um...

- No, not yet. - Belly, wait. Why?

I swear to God, if you bail on us again...

No, no, no. I'm not bailing. I want to go.

Okay, well, don't tell me. Tell Coach that.

Okay.

Okay, yeah. I'll text her right now.

- Yeah. Great. Here. - All right.

You know, I-I... I really just don't want to...

I don't want to have to have a big conversation

with her about last season,

and, I don't know, I feel like

I just want to show up ready to play

- and prove myself on the court. - Okay.

I love that. It's very Killa B.

- Right? - Yeah.

So I don't have to text her, right?

Give me your phone.

Mm...

This is ridiculous.

"Hey, Coach, I'm planning to come to camp next weekend.

I already talked to the rest of the squad

and they are cool with me coming.

Can't wait to see you on the court."

Yeah, that's good. Yeah.

What's happening over here? Hmm?

We playing Truth or Dare or what?

All right. Yeah. You in?

Um...

I dare you to eat the apple bong.

- Ew. - I'm not scared. I've done worse.

Yeah, we know.

We worked so hard on this.

I am so sorry, Skye.

- I'm so sorry. - And now it's...

What does it taste like?

It tastes so...

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

- Gross. - Goddamn it!

Wait, wait. He knows he's going to have to clean that up, right?

We'll make him clean it up. We'll make him clean it up.

Apple all over my leg.

You guys trying to keep playing Truth or Dare?

Conrad?

- I'm not playing. - Come on, dude.

- No. - What, you scared?

Come on, man.

Where do you, uh, see yourself

in the next ten years?

Here, honestly.

Coming back to Cousins.

Fourth of July barbecues,

digging for clams, serving with Jere...

- Making pomegranate margaritas. - Right, right.

I don't know, I just feel like

whatever kind of shit you got going on,

you just come back here, you forget about it.

Come on, man. Nobody's playing Truth or Dare right.

It's either you go big or you go home.

Agreed. This needs to get way more Euphoria.

Okay. Um... I'll give it a whirl.

- Hey. - Yay.

- Uh... - What you got?

Belly. I dare you to, uh,

kiss Jeremiah.

I can remember the exact moment

when everything changed.

♪ Strange light revolves ♪

- ♪ Around you ♪ - Oh, my God.

♪ You float across the room...

From the first moment I saw her last summer,

I was done for.

♪ Heaven can't hold...

She'd always been just Belly.

A girl I've known my whole life, my friend.

Except what I was feeling in that moment

was so much stronger.

- How was the drive? - Good.

- Great. - Awesome. Hey...

I wanted to grab her and hold her

and kiss the shit out of her.

- And the feeling never went away. - Uh...

Jere! Jere, Jere, Jere, Jere! Come over here. Come on.

But I wasn't the only one.

♪ God only knows ♪

♪ Where this could go ♪

♪ And even if our love starts to grow...

I tried to convince myself for a long time

that they weren't inevitable.

Too bad. I like me better without them.

That I had a chance.

♪ Heaven won't be the same...

But it's pretty clear to me now that I never actually did.

...exactly like I thought it would.

You know, aren't we too old for that kind of shit?

Right?

Yeah.

Cam, you know the drill.

Yes. Truth, please.

What's your biggest regret?

Um...

I'd probably say, um, not spending enough time

with my sister before she died.

- Whoa, I'm sorry. I didn't know. - It's okay.

- You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. - It's okay.

It was ten years ago.

She was 16. Um,

I was just a kid.

I really looked up to her.

Mm, I still look up to her.

Does it get any easier?

Yeah.

It's always there, you know.

But, um...

the pain starts to, uh...

you know, feel more like a scar than it does a scab.

Like, sometimes something totally random will set you off.

Like, um...

a song she used to play for you or, um...

little yellow tree air fresheners

she had in her car and the...

pain just feels brand-new again.

But, um...

everything...

everything goes back to normal.

Eventually. Whatever the hell that means.

Yeah, the fuck if I know.

I'm sorry, man.

No.

I'm sorry about your mom.

She was really cool.

Sorry, Taylor, where did we lose you there?

Oh, my God. No, you didn't lose me at all.

All right, just, like...

No, I really love talking about mental health.

Like, you should look at my TikTok.

It's, like, 70% therapists.

I'm just, like, really fucking tired right now.

Yeah, I guess it is getting kind of late.

I'll, uh, I'll go get you some blankets.

- Yeah, let's do it. - Yep.

Is this camping? 'Cause I got

a badge for that shit in Girl Scouts.

Gonna take my leave.

Did anyone find an air mattress, by chance?

Hey, um...

I'm, uh, I'm sorry if the dancing thing was weird.

It wasn't weird.

I mean, it was, but I didn't hate it.

Bad bitches need their roses, too.

You know?

I'll take your word for it.

- You know what I mean. - Yeah, sure.

Hey.

You want to go finish the movie?

It's kind of late.

Do I have BO or something?

I mean, I've never seen you turn down

a Truth or Dare kiss before.

Don't-don't do that.

Do what? I'm just trying to talk to you.

I mean, before, on the, on the boardwalk...

Just stop.

Okay?

Why?

Why don't you want to kiss me?

Because if I kiss you, I don't know that I can ever stop.

I'm sorry, Laurel, but you suck

at taking pictures.

I just wish I could be with you guys.

I'll make sure she gets some good ones, Susannah.

Don't let it sit too long.

Thank you.

Okay, now I-I want one with-with all the girls together.

I was annoyed

with Conrad that day,

with everything about him.

He'd gotten to take Belly to her prom,

and he'd acted like it was some big chore.

I don't have your corsage.

I must have left it in my dorm fridge.

It's okay.

We got to go.

Yes. Yes.

Beck, it's time for them to head out.

I'm just going to get a couple last pictures, okay?

I'm heading up to you tomorrow, first thing.

Have fun, everyone.

If it had been me, I would have done it right.

I wouldn't have forgotten the corsage.

I'd have given her the perfect night.

Hey.

I'm ready for a little Marilyn.

You want to go a little cowboy with The Misfits,

or drag with Some Like It Hot?

Are you okay?

Conrad forgot Belly's corsage?

That's shitty of him.

He left it in his dorm fridge.

It was so beautiful, too.

He sent over pictures. Orchids.

Drink up.

I'm sorry. They ran out of vanilla at the store, so...

...I hope you still like it.

It's okay. The little cocktail umbrella

kind of makes me feel like I'm having

a strawberry daiquiri or something.

It was Belly's favorite.

The virgin strawberry daiquiri at the club?

It's 'cause it always came with those little umbrellas.

I totally forgot that about her.

You always remember what makes Belly happy.

Yeah.

Oh, honey.

You still have feelings for her.

No, Mom. I-I got over that crush a long time ago.

You never let anyone see you hurting.

I'm fine, Mom. Seriously.

Yeah, well, sometimes I think

you're a little too good at being fine.

Well, isn't that what everyone wants me to be?

No.

Not me.

This is all my fault.

I got so excited

at the prospect of Belly being with one of my boys.

It must have been so hard for you,

seeing her with your brother.

I don't want you have to worry about that, Mom.

Promise me.

You and Conrad will never let anything come between you.

You will always put each other first.

Mom, Con and I are fine. I promise.

You don't have to worry about that, okay? She chose him.

They-they chose each other and I'm...

I'm, I'm...

Her best friend.

This is just the beginning of your story, Jere.

And I-I can't guarantee anyone's feelings.

Or promise that no one will get hurt. But...

...the fun in life is figuring out

where the rest of the story goes.

Do you know what my graduation quote was?

Amelia Earhart.

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself."

Remember that.

I adore you, sunshine boy.

My dad always loved Conrad better.

Love you, too.

But I had my mom.

She was the only person who ever really saw me.

Her and Belly.

So, um...

What are you saying?

I don't know, Bells, it's complicated.

That thing you said earlier?

About "adventure is worthwhile"?

Did my mom tell you about that?

No, I...

I saw it on your graduation cap.

When my mom went, she, uh, recorded the whole ceremony.

I saw you get your diploma. Strut up to the stage.

I wanted to be there for your day,

even if it was, you know...

just through my mom's phone.

- Get off of me. - Ow.

What time is it?

- What's going on out here? - Hmm?

Mom. Hi. I'm so sorry. Um...

They... they needed a place to stay

because they lost their house.

- Cam... - Um... I'll clean everything up, I swear.

- No, we'll-we'll all clean. - Good.

- And don't forget to return the cart. - Yeah, yeah.

Still thinking about the whole Liam thing?

Texted him last night.

Figured you might.

He told me how the whole thing went down,

um, and he gave me the contacts for his estate lawyers.

You gonna call?

- Jere, you don't have to be a part of this. - What did I say?

Just no more doing everything alone. Okay?

Well, I sent him an email

and told him the situation's urgent.

I'm hoping that since I got the connect from Liam,

that they'll respond by tomorrow.

Okay. Well, as soon as they do,

we'll let Julia know that we have an offer she can't refuse.

Okay.

So we'll lock up.

Head to, um...

Oh.

Wow. Look who it is.

- Hi. - It's okay. I'll handle it.

- Thank you very much. - I'll be in touch?

Yes, thank you.

Excuse me.

Oh, I wish you boys had gone home

when I asked you to.

You're not getting us to abandon our house, Julia.

It's not your house, Conrad.

And, um...

it won't be mine for long, either.

Julia, please. We have an idea, okay?

A buyer has made an offer

on the house and I've officially accepted it.

I have to go to Boston

to finalize the details, but, um,

it's done.

The house is sold.
