before launching Belly (Lola Tung) toward a whole new Fisher brother collision.

In response, Laurel slaps her daughter.
For hitting her, for holding on to her anger, for running away from her emotions.
(Presumably, that agreement stipulated “no spray-painted walls.")
Where are the store-brand Doritos ground into the carpet?
The half-full beer bottles tipped over on the bathroom counter?
Where’s the vomit?
Her face is peaceful as they hug, but Connie’s is significantly broodier.
The next obstacle for the group is Adam Fisher (Thomas Everett Scott).
The boys are elated, and there’s much hugging.
Okay, but where’s Adam going to live now?
No time to dwell on those details; we’ve got more apologizing to do!
The first challenge they confront is Conrad’s acceptance to Stanford.
Belly swears to herself that it’s the last thing she does for Conrad before letting him go.
Then she starts to confess something about her feelings, but Conrad’s asleep before she can.
Everybody’s happy and laughing, and Steven even gives Conrad his blessing to pursue Belly again.
Jeremiah clocks this, of course.
He notices every interaction Belly has with his brother.
She’s still wearing Conrad’s Brown sweatshirt as she and Jere goof off on campus.
Their day ends with Belly buying her own Finch sweatshirt it’s a metaphor!
and telling Jeremiah that she’d like to play volleyball here.
Unable to hold it in anymore, Belly asks if he’ll ever give her a second chance.
But she swears she won’t.
They’re different now.
Her Conrad dreams were just that: dreams.
But Jeremiah is real, and he’s who she wants.
He scarcely pauses before breathing, “Yes.
Yes, I still.”
Then he kisses her like her lips are oxygen and he’s been suffocating for years.
But they’re quickly interrupted by a pointed throat-clearing.
And he doesn’t look too happy about it.
