00:00I wanted to see you, I wanted to tell you...
00:02Tell me what?
00:04That I love you.
00:11And?
00:14And I wanted to know if any part of you still loved me.
00:26You don't love me anymore.
00:30Paris, the city of love, lights, and second chances.
00:34And this time, the place where Belly and Conrad find each other again.
00:38Between strolls under the Eiffel Tower, late night confessions, and memories of cousins rushing back all at once,
00:44this chapter takes us to an ending that feels both nostalgic and electric.
00:48Today we're talking about kisses that once felt impossible, letters that gave strength,
00:53and the moment when Belly and Conrad finally choose each other.
00:56Get ready, the end of this story is pure romance and pure emotion.
01:03The very first thing Conrad sees when he gets to Paris is that postcard,
01:11but no matter how long he waits, Belly doesn't show.
01:14When she finally does, she's with Benito, rocking a brand new haircut.
01:18The worst part? Conrad catches her in the middle of a Parisian fling,
01:23and instead of walking away, he actually approaches her.
01:26Conrad!
01:28Surprise!
01:29Give me a hug! Come here!
01:35Conrad tells her he knows her birthday is the next day,
01:40but his conference in Brussels means he won't be able to spend it with her.
01:44Belly, a bit surprised, says she'll stay with him until his last train and pretend to be a tourist,
01:50because at this point, she's basically a Parisian herself.
01:53Contrary to what you'd expect, Belly doesn't invite Conrad in.
01:57She just grabs his suitcase to take it back to her apartment so she can take a breath.
02:01Put on the boldest red lipstick she owns, because love has officially arrived.
02:06But when she catches her reflection in the mirror, she realizes she's feeling something much deeper.
02:11Meanwhile, Jeremiah is still living with Denise.
02:14He's now famous for his recipes, and has gone viral on TikTok as the hottest up-and-coming chef.
02:20In a calmer, more mature moment, Jerry tells Denise that he knows Conrad is with Belly.
02:26And even though it might hurt, he feels surprisingly at peace.
02:30Okay, but are you good?
02:31Uh, yeah.
02:35Yeah, yeah, I think the anticipation was the worst part.
02:40But now that the Belly-Conrad reunion is finally happening, it's not that bad.
02:48This is the Jerry we've been waiting for, one who finally thinks about someone other than himself and his feelings.
02:53He even tells Denise he wants to buy her a couch, not for himself to sleep on, but so she won't hurt her back when she works.
03:01That's when Denise drops the news, she's moving to California with Steven.
03:06Jairus smiles and tells her he's genuinely happy for her.
03:09Denise asks him not to say anything to Taylor yet, since Steven hasn't told her.
03:14But unfortunately for them, Taylor overhears everything.
03:17I guess everything's just f***ed.
03:19It's just f***ed.
03:20Taylor, please wait.
03:22I'm sorry.
03:22But the drama in Boston doesn't stop Paris from being romantic.
03:26Belly and Conrad spend their days sightseeing.
03:29And of course, there's something between them.
03:31They're tied by the red string of fate, even if Belly tries to deny it.
03:35Conrad can't stop looking at her the whole time.
03:38While deciding what to do next, Conrad finally gathers the courage to ask about Belly's life in Paris.
03:44But before he leaves, all he wants is to see her Paris, not the one the tourists see.
03:52I've spent a lot of time imagining your life here.
03:59And I guess, I don't know, I'll do anything.
04:03But I wish, that I could see Paris the way you dream.
04:09You dream.
04:11Back in Boston, Taylor is furious.
04:14She just landed a job there, and doesn't think it's fair to give it up, just to follow Steven.
04:19Jerry asks everyone to focus so they can present the food,
04:22which inspires Denise to suggest hosting it at her beach house.
04:26The only problem?
04:27Jerry hasn't set foot there since the wedding that never was.
04:31Denise asks Taylor to keep quiet so Jerry can land this program,
04:35since Taylor's job basically depends on it.
04:38Okay, hi, hey.
04:40You got this?
04:41I will help you.
04:43No, you're right.
04:45I'm calm.
04:47I am focused.
04:49Okay?
04:50Like a fucking laser, and we're just gonna do it.
04:52Back in Paris, things turn beautifully intimate.
04:55Belly opens up about how this place helped her put herself back together
04:59after everything that happened.
05:00Conrad says he understands,
05:02giving her an analogy that ties it all back to the human body and how it works.
05:07Belly admits it took her a whole year to step out of her comfort zone.
05:11She even struggled with something as simple as buying laundry detergent.
05:15Just from looking at him,
05:16she asks Conrad to stay for her birthday celebration with her friends.
05:20Conrad doesn't want to impose,
05:22but Belly is very sure she wants him there.
05:25For the first time, things seem to be going right between them.
05:28I don't want to intrude on...
05:30It wouldn't be an intrusion.
05:32Just some friends throwing me a little pre-birthday dinner.
05:37Oh.
05:37Yeah, you should come.
05:38It'll be fun.
05:39And it'll be nice to have an old friend there.
05:43Are you sure?
05:43But back in Cousins, chaos reigns.
05:50Taylor is stressed, not just about impressing her boss,
05:53but also about everything Steven has been hiding.
05:56Seeing him fills her with anger,
05:58so she pretends she wants to redecorate the apartment and even adopt a cat.
06:02And while Steven and Taylor are fan favorites...
06:05Let's maybe just, you know, take like a beat on that.
06:08Yeah, let's take a beat, you dick.
06:09What are you...
06:10Listen, oh my god, okay, if it's that important to you, okay, let's get a cat.
06:14I just think that maybe we're not ready for it.
06:15Okay, I can't.
06:16I can't with you right now.
06:16I just lost my entire weight stuff.
06:18They honestly gave us more than Conrad and Belly ever did.
06:21This is still their ending we're here for.
06:23In Paris, things move slowly but surely.
06:26Conrad waits for Belly to finish her shower,
06:29wandering through her room,
06:30and spotting photos with Benito.
06:32The jealousy is obvious,
06:34but therapy has grounded Conrad enough to keep his emotions in check.
06:38Instead, he focuses on Mint Jr.,
06:40remembering the time he gave it to Belly.
06:43When she steps out,
06:44he can't help but tell her how beautiful she looks,
06:46cranking up the sexual tension even more.
06:49You look really beautiful.
06:53At the party, Conrad meets all of Belly's friends,
06:57from her roommates to Celine and Gemma,
06:59who fight over who gets to claim best friend status.
07:02Everything goes smoothly until Benito arrives.
07:05Conrad pretends to be unaffected,
07:07even when Benito gives Belly a gift.
07:10We've heard everything about you.
07:12You're like a legend in Paris.
07:14Legend, huh?
07:15During dinner,
07:16Gemma gushes about how romantic it was
07:18when Conrad confessed his love to Belly the day before the wedding.
07:22Max points out that maybe he could have waited,
07:24but Celine speaks up and says exactly what everyone on different teams was already thinking.
07:30It's like something out of a movie.
07:32Have the people looking at the screen screaming,
07:34do it, do it, Conrad.
07:36And the other half are all like,
07:37ah, no, don't do it, don't do it.
07:41Benito, for his part, is jealous too.
07:44He even tells Conrad that there are direct flights from California to Brussels.
07:48But contrary to what you'd think,
07:51he and Belly are no longer together.
07:53Gemma clarifies that Benito is just still bitter about being dumped,
07:57but now they're just good friends.
07:59This is all Conrad needs to feel free to be direct,
08:02without feeling like he's stepping on anyone's toes.
08:05Whoa, you'll always be the boy who taught me how to ride a scooter, so.
08:10Hey, I'll always be the boy who taught you how to ride a bike.
08:13Oh, cool, cool, cool.
08:14Back in Cousins, the drama focuses on Jer's big dinner.
08:19After losing all his waiters,
08:21his frat brothers have to step in and help,
08:24and to make things worse,
08:25the suppliers sent the wrong products,
08:27and forgot others entirely.
08:29When Steven shows up,
08:31he notices Taylor wants nothing to do with him.
08:33Jer has no choice but to come clean,
08:36and admit that Taylor already knows everything,
08:39and as if Cousins wasn't dramatic enough,
08:41Denise drops another bomb.
08:43Jer's father is here.
08:44The moment Jerry sees him,
08:46he swears the place is cursed.
08:48I'm so fucked.
08:49I mean, this dinner's falling apart,
08:50and now my dad's here to watch it blow up in my face.
08:52Hey, it's gonna be fine.
08:53No, I just, I never should have come back here.
08:56You know, being in this house again
08:57makes me feel like the same loser I was
08:58when I walked out that door last summer.
09:01The place is just cursed.
09:02In Paris, there's a sense of comfort.
09:04Conrad is sitting right next to Belly,
09:06and the flirting is impossible to ignore.
09:08The tension between them is palpable.
09:11Conrad leans in,
09:12and bluntly asks if Benito is her boyfriend.
09:16Not your boyfriend.
09:17I never said he was.
09:19All while they're sharing a cigarette,
09:21the kind that feels like a peace offering.
09:23But we leave the Parisian sensuality behind,
09:26and head back to Cousins,
09:28where the ever-annoying Adam,
09:29tells Laurel that Kaylee broke up with him.
09:32John admits that he's single too,
09:34so Adam suggests they go on a singles cruise,
09:37just to have wild no-strings-attached sex.
09:40Back with Conrad and Belly,
09:41Conrad hands her a small vial
09:43filled with sand from Cousins Beach.
09:46And it makes me feel closer to everybody.
09:48When the cake arrives,
09:50memories come rushing back to Belly,
09:52and all she needs to do is look at Conrad.
09:54But this finale has no shortage of romance.
09:57So we return to Cousins,
10:04where Taylor and Steven are in the middle of an argument.
10:07Their relationship is starting to crack.
10:09Taylor moved to Boston for him,
10:11and now it looks like she might have to follow him to California.
10:14The fight ends in a kiss,
10:16because deep down,
10:17they both know they're meant to be together,
10:19and that California is where they belong.
10:21What? What do you say?
10:22You really just pack up and
10:25move to California for me?
10:27I mean...
10:28Not for you.
10:30With you.
10:31Back in Paris,
10:32Conrad teases Belly,
10:33asking if he has to call her Isabel,
10:36now like everyone else does.
10:37But she refuses.
10:39She wants to keep being Belly for him.
10:41Conrad confesses that when she first left for Paris,
10:44he thought she was just running away from everything,
10:47and that she'd eventually come back.
10:49But now he sees she wasn't hiding.
10:51She was building a life in the city she's always loved.
10:54Conrad tells her Jared knows he's in Paris,
10:57and even wished him luck.
10:59And he's okay with that?
11:04I don't know.
11:04He said good luck.
11:07Like,
11:09good luck.
11:10Or like,
11:12good luck.
11:13There's a full moon tonight.
11:23I'd like to be under the same moon as you again.
11:28Belly,
11:28wanting to break the tension,
11:30says she wants to take him somewhere else.
11:32Since we're closing loops,
11:34we check back in with Jared and Denise.
11:36He offers her a taste of his dessert,
11:38and she beams with pride,
11:40telling him to stop comparing himself to Conrad,
11:43that his obsession with his brother needs to end.
11:45You're the one who is obsessed with him.
11:47And I don't know why.
11:48You're a fucking 10.
11:51I'm a 10?
11:52Oh my god.
11:53Okay,
11:54please don't pretend that you don't know you're gorgeous.
11:56Alright,
11:57you're basically a model.
11:58She even admits she finds him physically beautiful.
12:01In the heat of the moment,
12:02they talk about Steven and Taylor,
12:04who have worked things out,
12:06which makes Jerry think about Belly.
12:08She gave up on that for me.
12:11And I let her.
12:12Just because I didn't want to be alone.
12:15And the time she refused to go to Paris,
12:17overcome with emotion,
12:18Jerry kisses Denise,
12:20because their relationship is rooted in growth,
12:23and they both know it's real.
12:24When the dinner ends,
12:25Jerry thanks everyone.
12:27Adam has a heart to heart with him.
12:29And just like that,
12:30we close this redemption arc.
12:32I'm so proud of what you pulled off tonight.
12:37Okay,
12:37but I'm not surprised.
12:38I mean,
12:38I've always known what you're capable of.
12:40I've always been proud of you.
12:42I thought that went without saying.
12:44For the Fisher family,
12:46at least for Jer and Adam,
12:47that night,
12:48under the Paris moonlight,
12:50Conrad asks Belly to dance,
12:52just like they did at graduation,
12:54when everything between them fell apart.
12:56They both admit how immature they were.
12:58In some of their choices,
13:00Belly says it feels like that was a lifetime ago,
13:03but that his letters gave her strength.
13:05To Conrad's surprise,
13:06Belly read them constantly.
13:08The reason she took so long to write back,
13:11was because she knew she had to let go of the past first.
13:14And then,
13:14just as Taylor Swift's dress starts playing,
13:17yes,
13:18that song.
13:19And have you moved on?
13:20Our secret moments,
13:47in a garden.
13:48The meaning is crystal clear.
13:50If Taylor wanted her clothes off,
13:52when she wrote it,
13:53Belly and Conrad want the exact same thing.
13:56This time,
13:56they're older,
13:57wiser,
13:58more passionate,
13:59and completely in love,
14:00letting themselves give in to the moment.
14:02And in the most romantic way possible,
14:05they make love,
14:06because deep down,
14:07they've always belonged to each other.
14:11Afterwards,
14:12Belly admits that every birthday wish she ever made was for him.
14:15But she also knows this may not be a forever,
14:18and Conrad feels the same,
14:20as if this could be the ending of it all.
14:22They love each other.
14:24Thanks,
14:24they will be forever.
14:27But their lives feel worlds apart.
14:30When Belly steps out of the bathroom,
14:32she insists that he go.
14:33Conrad tells her he doesn't love her just because his mother wanted him to.
14:37Is everything okay?
14:41Did I do something?
14:44His love is real.
14:45Belly wonders,
14:46if all of this has been about Susanna's death,
14:49if that's why she longs for him.
14:50But Conrad insists that isn't why he loves her.
14:53Through tears,
14:54he says he tried not to love her,
14:56that what he feels has nothing to do with Susanna.
14:59You're gonna love me anymore?
15:00I've always loved you.
15:05That's the problem.
15:06I don't really think that's the problem.
15:08And that even if he met her for the very first time today,
15:11he would love her just the same,
15:13with no other choice.
15:15Conrad says he's leaving for Brussels.
15:17Belly lets him go,
15:18again,
15:19heartbroken.
15:20Belly stares at a photo her mother sent her,
15:23realizing she's never really stopped being the same girl she's always been.
15:27Seeing Mint Jr.
15:28and the infinity necklace.
15:30She knows Conrad is,
15:34and always will be,
15:35her endgame.
15:36But by the time she calls out to him,
15:38he's gone.
15:39As Out of the Woods plays,
15:41Belly runs through the Paris streets,
15:43like her life depends on it.
15:45Finally reaching the train station,
15:47Conrad is still there,
15:48lost in thought.
15:49Conrad,
15:50I choose you,
15:53of my own free will.
15:55Staring out the window,
15:57just when it seems like everything is lost,
15:59there he is.
16:00Belly shows him her infinity necklace,
16:03their silent way of sealing their fate.
16:05Meanwhile,
16:06Cousins is finally at peace,
16:08calm,
16:08familiar,
16:09safe.
16:10Everyone seems to have found their place,
16:12and made their choices.
16:14Steven and Taylor accept each other,
16:16for who they are.
16:17Jer grows up and finds someone just as passionate as he is.
16:21Belly and Conrad keep moving forward together.
16:23They don't go back to Cousins for a long time,
16:26but when they finally do,
16:28Conrad never stops looking at her.
16:30Belly in her signature yellow dress,
16:32walks by his side back to the beach house,
16:35the place that held all their promises,
16:37of what summer could be.
16:38Belly and Conrad,
16:40together,
16:40just as it was always meant to be.
16:42And at last,
16:43we see them spending Christmas in Paris.
16:46Belly smiling like never before,
16:48Conrad completely happy,
16:49closing out three full seasons,
16:52with Olivia Rodrigo,
16:53Ariana Grande,
16:55Harry Styles,
16:56and Taylor Swift on the soundtrack,
16:58and a heartfelt letter from Jenny Han,
17:00thanking the fans for sticking around until the very end.
17:04And no,
17:04we don't see Belly and Conrad's wedding,
17:07but we don't need to.
17:08They chose each other,
17:09and that's what really matters.
