00:06Previously on The Summer I Turned Pretty, my family's been going to Susannah's Beach House
00:10and Cousins every summer since I was a baby. Look who came back all grown up. Susannah told me that
00:16when I was born she knew I was destined for one of her boys. I always hoped it would be
00:20Conrad.
00:21I wrangled Belly an invitation to be a debutante. Now which one of you is gonna be Belly's escort
00:26to the ball. Uh so are you and Jeremiah like a thing? They're like basically related. I'm not going
00:33with either of you. I am going to find my own date. I don't know what to think about you
00:36this summer.
00:37You have new friends. You have a boyfriend. I don't even know who you are anymore. Is that why you
00:41threw yourself at my brother so that you could get back at me? My heart's beating really fast. You're
00:45having a panic attack. It's my mom. I know you said you didn't want to do chemo but I'm not
00:50putting
00:50myself through treatment again. I'm gonna tell the kids when we get back to Boston. Why are you
00:54acting so different? I mean something's going on. Just tell me. Ellie I think about you. I do. You
01:00know I do. I just can't. You're my best friend. There were times I wanted to be more. I was
01:05just waiting.
01:06I mean how am I supposed to fully jump into something with Jeremiah if a piece of my heart
01:11still beats for his brother? Will you go with me to the temple? Hey does my mom seem okay to
01:16you? I heard your
01:17parents talk about it and your mom seemed really upset. Hey have you guys seen Jeremiah?
01:26Come on Adam. We need to talk all right? It's important. It's about mom. You've known this whole
01:30fucking time you didn't tell me. I told them I do the trial. It's going to work. Ellie I'm sorry
01:36for being
01:36so shitty all of a sudden. I mean you were going through all this alone. I wish you had told
01:41me so
01:41you didn't have to. No matter what happens next, I will always come back to this place and
01:47these people.
01:59You live in my dream state.
02:02I look at my fantasy.
02:05I stay in reality.
02:08You live in my dream state.
02:1120, 20, 20, 20 visions.
02:14Cupid hit me, Cupid hit me with precision.
02:17You're back.
02:18I'm back.
02:25We get it. You guys are into each other.
02:29Don't listen to him. You two are perfect together.
02:31I close my eyes.
02:35Can I get a kiss?
02:37And can you make it last forever?
02:40I said I'm about to go to war.
02:43And I don't know if I'm gonna see you again.
02:48I wasn't in Cousins.
02:51Conrad and I weren't together.
02:53And Susanna was dead.
02:55Nothing would ever be the same again.
02:57Hey, you dropped this.
03:02Conklin.
03:03What?
03:04I said you dropped this, Conklin.
03:06You're reading The Hunger Games in French.
03:10Trying to.
03:11I almost know the English version by heart,
03:13so it's not that difficult to follow.
03:16Very cool.
03:18Thanks.
03:22Escaping to your dreams is easier than living with your memories.
03:25It's the being awake that's the hard part.
03:36This almost doesn't feel real.
03:40How about now?
03:48I can't stop smiling.
03:52You know, you have the prettiest smile I've ever seen.
03:55Your whole face just lights up.
03:58Wanted to say that to you also.
04:04Uh...
04:05There's something that I...
04:08need to tell you.
04:12I don't even know how, um...
04:13Okay.
04:14What is it?
04:17Did you figure it out?
04:19Uh...
04:20I, um...
04:22A few days ago...
04:24Jeremiah told me that she owns for me.
04:32Oh.
04:34Wow, okay.
04:37So what did you say?
04:43I...
04:44kissed him...
04:45a few times.
04:55So, um...
04:57So when we both came to pick you and Taylor up from the side of the road,
05:00you know, and...
05:01you went with Jay, were you two already...
05:07You know, but there were moments of somewhere where I thought maybe there could be something
05:10with you and me, and then...
05:12you know, you'd shut down and get really cold.
05:15And I get it.
05:15I get it.
05:15I'm sorry.
05:16I'm sorry.
05:17No.
05:17It's all my fault.
05:18Anyway.
05:20I mean, it's mine too.
05:26Do you want to be with him?
05:30Being with you is all I've ever wanted.
05:32Okay.
05:33That's great.
05:34Be with me then.
05:35What?
05:36What, is that funny?
05:38I don't know.
05:39I'm sorry.
05:39It's just weird.
05:40I mean, everyone in our house knows that I've had a crush on you ever since, like...
05:45Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:46You have a crush on me?
05:48Oh, shut up.
05:49Yeah.
05:53You're it for me, Peli.
05:58I don't want to hurt Jay.
05:59Me neither.
06:01Like, I'll talk to him.
06:03He might not even be that upset, you know?
06:05It's Jer.
06:06He never takes anything too seriously.
06:07It's not...
06:10It's not like how it is with us.
06:15Uh, I'll talk to him first.
06:17I owe him that.
06:19Okay.
06:28Shh.
06:30Somebody's up.
06:41Early morning walk on the beach?
06:44Uh...
06:45Yeah.
06:46Mm-hmm.
06:52I knew it.
06:53I knew it.
06:56I knew it.
06:59I knew it.
06:59I knew it.
07:00I knew it.
07:05Sit down.
07:09So?
07:11Mom, just let me change first.
07:16All right.
07:18Enjoy your summer.
07:28No, but seriously, it's gonna be wild.
07:30It's the best team we've had in years.
07:31Oh, I made us these matching crop tops.
07:33They're pink, obviously.
07:34Mm-hmm.
07:34And I got a bunch of new knee pads.
07:35Ooh, knee pads, Taylor.
07:37Shut up.
07:38Hey, Bells.
07:39It's not too late to sign up for volleyball camp, you know?
07:41Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
07:43Oh, our school is over, bitches!
07:46Woo!
07:47Such a clown, Steven.
07:48Hey, if I were going to Princeton, I'd be screaming about it, too.
07:52Thank you, Evelyn.
07:53Wait.
07:53Are you going to Princeton?
07:54That's so cool.
07:55I couldn't tell.
07:56Oh, you couldn't tell?
07:57You couldn't...
07:58Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
07:59Ow, the spike!
08:00What's up, man?
08:01What time is a grab party tomorrow, man?
08:03Oh, the band comes on at 10.
08:04I'm dating the singer.
08:06Uh, yeah, the Machine Gun Kelly wannabe.
08:08I tried to veto him from playing, but I guess we couldn't find anybody cheaper.
08:12Oh!
08:13Wait.
08:14So, are you coming to the party?
08:17I...
08:17I don't know.
08:20Belly!
08:21Belly!
08:21Can I talk to you for a minute, please?
08:25I gotta go.
08:27Okay.
08:28See you then.
08:29Bye.
08:29Sorry.
08:31Bye.
08:36Belly, I was reviewing your end-of-term transcripts, and I couldn't help but notice that your grades
08:40have taken a serious dive.
08:42I mean, you kept an A in French, but you won't impress colleges with just French.
08:47Is there something going on?
08:48Uh, there's a death in the family.
08:51Oh.
08:52I-I'm so sorry to hear that.
08:54But your grades have been dipping all year.
08:56You even got your volleyball captaincy revoked?
08:59Yeah, I-I choked at regionals.
09:02Okay.
09:03Well, have you, um, have you thought about where you're gonna apply next year?
09:06Um, I mean, I know I'm not getting into an IV, but there's always Penn State.
09:10Well, that might be a reach at this point.
09:12Without volleyball, you'll have to focus on less competitive schools.
09:16Have you heard about Finch?
09:18Um, yeah, I know someone who's going there in the fall.
09:21A family friend.
09:22Great.
09:23Well, maybe you can visit them and grab a tour.
09:24Yeah.
09:25I doubt it.
09:28Come in.
09:32Good morning, Bells.
09:34Hey.
09:35Come here.
09:41So, I stayed up all night doing research on-on the trial my mom agreed to.
09:46And, Bellya, I'm-I'm feeling really hopeful.
09:49That's-that's great, Jer.
09:51I mean, I'm so glad that Susanna agreed to do it.
09:54Yeah.
09:54I mean, if I'm being honest, I'm still kind of pissed Conrad never told me what was going on with
09:59her.
09:59But, you know, at least it worked out, right?
10:03Right.
10:04That's kind of why I think we should tell Conrad about us as soon as possible.
10:10I don't-I don't want any more secrets.
10:11And, plus, Steven already knows.
10:13Hmm.
10:17Actually, that-that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
10:23Okay.
10:24See, um, the thing is, um, last night I really couldn't sleep all night, so I went to-watch the
10:35sunrise on the beach.
10:37And Conrad was there, and we just started talking.
10:41And one thing led to another, and-and, um, and we-we kissed.
10:53You kissed my brother.
10:56I'm sorry.
10:57I didn't think that, you know, like, he-we-I mean, we wanted to tell you right away, so-
11:03You-you're already a wee?
11:04No.
11:05No, no, no.
11:06I-I just didn't-I-I didn't want it to be weird.
11:09Well, yeah, Belly, it is weird, okay?
11:11No, Jer, please.
11:12No, no, you know what?
11:13Actually, it's cool.
11:14It's cool.
11:15I get it.
11:16You know, I was just the distraction to keep you busy while you waited for Conrad.
11:19I'm glad it finally happened for you, Belly.
11:22It's great timing.
11:23It's not like my mom has cancer or anything.
11:24Jer, I didn't want to hurt you.
11:26You're-you're one of my best friends.
11:28No.
11:29No, you don't-you don't get to call me that.
11:34You don't mean that.
11:36I do.
11:37Now, can you please get out?
11:43Just so you know, he's gonna break your heart.
11:58We should already be in the car!
12:00Coming!
12:08Hey, is this okay?
12:09I swear I left the tickets here.
12:11I thought your dad was meeting us there.
12:13Will you-shoot, I forgot to make the reservation for lunch.
12:16Yeah, I figured, so I did it.
12:17Well, they're not gonna start without me.
12:19We've got time.
12:20I was supposed to iron that shirt for you.
12:22Take it off and I can-
12:23Oh, it-it's handled.
12:24It's handled, see?
12:25I use the starch spray that makes it look real smooth, eh?
12:31Oh, is that for me?
12:32What?
12:37Sweet!
12:37A laptop?
12:38Well, who sent this?
12:39What?
12:41Oh, my God.
12:42It's from Susanna.
12:45She must have planned it before.
12:47Classic Beck.
12:49I wish she could have been here.
12:52Yeah, Conrad and Jeremiah, too.
12:54They were busy.
12:56Yeah, sure.
13:04I feel awful.
13:08Brady.
13:09He was so angry at us.
13:12And he has every right to me, honestly.
13:17It's gonna be okay, Billy.
13:19I promise.
13:24How?
13:33I think maybe we should hit pause.
13:38What?
13:40No.
13:42I don't wanna make things harder for you guys than they already are.
13:44You're not.
13:45I promise.
13:46The most important thing right now...
13:50Is that you and Jeremiah are there for each other.
13:52Are there for Susanna.
13:54And I...
13:56Us being together would make that impossible.
13:59Ellie, come on.
14:02I can't do that to him.
14:16I hate that.
14:20Yeah, me too.
14:21Do it.
14:28Um...
14:34This was always yours.
14:38No matter what happens...
14:41We'll still be infinite.
15:09You should read this.
15:11Later. We should go.
15:13Found them.
15:14Come on.
15:19They say that everything happens for a reason.
15:23Now, who they are exactly is unclear.
15:26Maybe a theologian coined it or...
15:28I don't know, whoever configured the simulation we're clearly living in.
15:33Maybe it was Rihanna.
15:34No, no, no.
15:36Rihanna can do no wrong.
15:38You're definitely not hurt.
15:41But we've heard it.
15:44Time and time again.
15:45It's supposed to convince us.
15:46You know, that everything had to happen.
15:49Exactly so in order to teach us something about ourselves.
15:52In order for us to grow.
15:56And meet our destinies.
16:02I think that's BS.
16:03I'm sorry, Mom.
16:05Sorry.
16:07You know, breakups don't always lead to breakthroughs.
16:10Sometimes a girl dumps you after an awesome summer and it sucks.
16:15And you learn nothing from it.
16:17But you eventually force yourself to move on anyways.
16:24But then, the unthinkable happens.
16:27And you realize it's pointless to think of life that way.
16:30Belly.
16:34Hey, I never see you in here.
16:36Your mom assigned me this room to clean.
16:39It's the easiest since I don't think she sat put in here once to do any writing this summer.
16:44Don't you hire cleaners anyway?
16:46Shh.
16:52I love that necklace on you.
16:56Connie told me everything that happened with the three of you.
17:02I'm sorry.
17:03Don't be sorry.
17:04It's not how I wanted this summer to end.
17:08Especially not.
17:13I just feel like I'm losing everyone.
17:15You're not.
17:17It just takes time.
17:19You'll find your way back to each other eventually.
17:23And this place is always here for you.
17:27Yeah, but you've made every summer here so magical, Susanna.
17:31I mean, what happens?
17:32What happens, Belly?
17:36You love this place the same way I do.
17:41If anyone can keep the magic going here, it's you.
17:47You're my special girl.
17:53I need to call the cleaners.
17:57Promise me you'll never leave me.
18:00Never.
18:03Because everything just happens.
18:07You know, good things.
18:09Bad things.
18:10All in ways that you never expect.
18:12All in ways that are so completely out of your control
18:15that they could just drive you insane.
18:21There are times where it feels like the world is happening to you.
18:25But remember that you are also happening to the world.
18:30So don't wait.
18:32Make what you want happen.
18:34Because tomorrow isn't promised.
18:36So you better make fucking sure that you are living today.
19:03So extra.
19:04Although he did earn it with that speech.
19:06It was good.
19:07Yeah.
19:08The speech kind of pierced my soul.
19:13Don't laugh.
19:14No, no, I'm sorry.
19:15No, I feel like I've been in this nightmare ever since Susanna died.
19:19Maybe it's time to wake up.
19:22Oh, I gotta go find Milo.
19:24He needs my help putting together a look for tonight.
19:27Cool.
19:29Do you want to come over after and help me with mine?
19:31No fucking way. Are you coming?
19:33Yeah, yeah.
19:34Really?
19:35And I'm gonna sign up for a varsity volleyball camp, too.
19:38Yes!
19:39Oh, my God.
19:40Babe, this party's gonna be insane.
19:41Like, you are going to die when you see Milo play.
19:44Uh, no, yeah.
19:44I mean, you literally might.
19:46Because, oh, man, I could smell him from the podium.
19:48Really?
19:48Yeah.
19:48Well, I'm sorry.
19:49Excuse me.
19:49My man doesn't have that Korean gene that makes you have no body odor.
19:53Okay.
19:53Okay, all right.
19:54Come on, Ellie.
19:54Mom and Dad are meeting us at the restaurant.
19:56Bye.
19:56See you later.
19:58It was a great speech.
20:01Susanna would have loved it.
20:02Yeah, I know.
20:05You know, I'm glad you guys are coming to the party tonight.
20:08Wow.
20:09I can't believe what I'm hearing.
20:10You really want me and Taylor at your party?
20:13Why?
20:13I never said want.
20:14I just...
20:16I just think it's better than moping around at home.
20:20Hey, you should drive.
20:22Really?
20:23I gotta read all the love in my DMs for my speech anyway, so...
20:26All right, come on.
20:27Uh-huh.
20:32Yo, this is dope.
20:34I'm going viral on TikTok.
20:35Is that a good thing?
20:37What, millions of people around the world watching my speech on a loop?
20:40Yes.
20:42That is a very good thing.
20:44I gotta forward this to Cotton Chair, man.
20:49Thank you so much.
20:51Oh, I'm sorry.
20:52Could I get a box for all this?
20:54Yeah, thank you, man.
21:02Happiness is an activity.
21:04Um, okay.
21:07Okay, well, everyone agrees you are the best.
21:10It doesn't say that.
21:11It's so random.
21:11Yeah, it literally says it right here.
21:13It literally says it right there.
21:14I don't know what you want.
21:14You want to see it?
21:15Yeah.
21:15You want to see it?
21:16Look, I don't know what you want from me.
21:17It says it right there.
21:18I know what you're telling you.
21:20We're so proud of you.
21:21You're gonna have the time of your life at Princeton, right, Laura?
21:23Yeah, I love college.
21:25That's where I met Susanna.
21:29So, how are things going with your book?
21:31Uh, my publisher is hounding me to do this meet-and-greet event with booksellers.
21:35I said no.
21:38Why?
21:38Because it's not necessary.
21:42Okay, uh, well, it's time for me to go get ready for the party.
21:45Mom, mwah, Dad, mwah.
21:48Thank you for lunch.
21:49I'm gonna go with him.
21:50Uh, it was delicious.
21:52All right.
21:53Have fun, kids.
21:54See you at home.
21:55Yep.
22:01So you're not trying to promote your book?
22:03I'm not gonna have schmoozy conversations about Susanna just to get prime placement in bookstores.
22:08Well, you did write a whole book about her.
22:10It might feel a little cathartic.
22:11I wrote the book in a fugue state.
22:14I have no interest in dissecting it just to come up with pithy insights on grief.
22:20Okay.
22:23Glad the whole not going to therapy thing is working out for you.
22:33Look, you wrote a beautiful book.
22:38I think Susanna would want you to share it with the world.
22:44She was always my biggest cheerleader.
22:47Guess now I have to be my own.
22:53I'll wear the skirt, but I draw the line at pom-poms.
23:00I am so excited that you're finally here this summer.
23:03Can we do, like, everything that we never got to do together?
23:05Like, parties, pool, mall.
23:07We have to get you a fake ID.
23:10Let's start by figuring out what I'm gonna wear tonight.
23:11Okay.
23:13Okay.
23:17Susanna's earrings?
23:19They're perfect.
23:24Okay.
23:26Since my man is playing tonight, I'm gonna need you to be the super hot friend
23:30standing next to his super hot girlfriend.
23:33Yeah, let's get super hot.
23:34I love it when you agree with me.
23:38Um, I'm thinking this.
23:41That's what you call super hot.
23:43This looks so good on you.
23:45No, no.
23:46I've got to have something better.
23:47Ugh.
23:47Okay.
23:55Mm-mm.
23:58No.
24:08The call came the second week of September.
24:10Three weeks since the last time I'd seen him.
24:13It felt like a dream.
24:16Unreal.
24:21Hey.
24:22Hey.
24:24I, uh, didn't expect to hear from you.
24:27Yeah, is it okay that I'm calling?
24:29I shouldn't have called.
24:29This was dumb.
24:30I'm sorry.
24:30No, no, no, no.
24:31It's okay.
24:33Um...
24:33We're still friends, right?
24:35Yeah.
24:35Yeah.
24:36We're friends, yeah.
24:38Yeah, and, um...
24:41Friends can talk on the phone.
24:42Yeah.
24:43Yeah.
24:43Nothing weird about friends talking on the phone.
24:50Uh, so how's, how's college life?
24:53Um, it's cool.
24:55It's cool.
24:56My roommate snores even louder than you do, which...
24:59Oh, come on.
25:00I don't snore.
25:01Yes, you do.
25:02You a thousand percent do.
25:03I've heard you through the walls for years.
25:05Only when you're really tired, though.
25:10How was school for you?
25:11Ugh, boring.
25:12Painful.
25:13I mean, like, no, no.
25:14Who invented Trigg, and why do they torture innocent high school students with it?
25:20Can't be that bad.
25:21No, oh, it's, it's bad.
25:23It's, it's, it's really bad.
25:24I mean, I can't keep up with all the letters.
25:26Well, you know, the first thing you gotta do is determine if it's a right angle triangle or not.
25:30Bradley, have you seen my, uh, big kettlebell, the 20 pound one?
25:33Steven, I'm on the phone.
25:34Well, tell Taylor to go to bed.
25:35Hi, Steven.
25:40Hey, Conrad.
25:45It's not in here. Go away.
25:49Sorry about that.
25:51Okay, um, what were you saying about triangles again?
25:55Uh, so if it's not a right angle triangle, uh, we're not gonna worry about it yet.
26:00Yeah.
26:03Okay, if you want to wear the t-shirt, you know, we should at least crop it.
26:08It was Conrad's.
26:10You know, every time I think of him, I still get this, like, pain in my chest.
26:16Mm-hmm.
26:17I know.
26:19Sucks, babe.
26:20But eventually, you're gonna have to let him go.
26:23Yeah, I just wish I knew how.
26:26It's like my Memo always used to say.
26:27The best way to get over a man is to get under a new one.
26:38Heading to a grad party?
26:40Yeah, mine.
26:42Me and the guys are throwing it, remember?
26:44Oh, right.
26:45Well, have fun.
26:47And don't drink and drive.
26:48Oh, don't worry.
26:49I promised Steven I'd be the sober driver.
26:51Oh, and I ordered you a pizza, okay?
26:53So please eat it.
26:54Don't worry about me.
26:56Go.
26:56All right. I love you.
26:57Bye. Bye.
26:58Bye.
26:58Be safe.
26:59Bye.
26:59I love you.
27:00Bye.
27:16Oh, my God.
27:20Milo.
27:21Hi.
27:22Thank God you're here.
27:24Oh, my God.
27:32Hey, so I need to be able to see you when I'm up on stage.
27:34Yeah.
27:34All right.
27:34So stay up close.
27:35Okay.
27:36Yeah.
27:36My boy.
27:38Yeah.
27:40You call this a party?
27:41Where are all the hot ladies, you promise?
27:44We're literally standing right here.
27:46Oh, no offense.
27:48I'm into older women.
27:50Personal preference.
27:51Yeah.
27:52Hey, babe.
27:52I'm gonna go help the guys finish something.
27:54Okay.
27:54All right.
27:56Bye.
28:00Okay.
28:01Well, have fun, everybody.
28:03I gotta go make the rounds, entertain the people.
28:05You know.
28:06Oh, shit.
28:07Okay.
28:08Come on, Spike.
28:10You're so cute tonight.
28:12You know that?
28:12Come on, let's go get some drinks.
28:13I can't drink.
28:14I'm trying.
28:15Okay.
28:18What?
28:19Oh, my God.
28:20But camp is gonna be so much fun.
28:22I bought us all matching PJs.
28:24Oh, you are going to need to buy one more set.
28:27Guess who finally decided to join?
28:29The killer B is gonna have her captaincy back from Donna in, like, no time.
28:33You know what I mean?
28:34Yeah, right?
28:35But Coach Shaw is okay with it.
28:37You know.
28:38Come back.
28:39I actually haven't talked to Coach yet.
28:41I wanted to talk to you guys first.
28:44I mean, after last season, I totally don't blame you if you don't want me back on the team.
28:48Oh, shut up.
28:50You're always one of us.
28:51Yes.
28:52Right answer.
28:53Bump.
28:54Set.
28:55Hit.
28:55Swipe.
28:55That's the way we like to fight.
28:58Come on.
28:59Come on, team.
29:00Let's hear you scream.
29:03Here.
29:04And for you.
29:05There we go.
29:06Oh, my God.
29:09Holy shit.
29:10Oh, my God.
29:11Oh, my God.
29:12Oh, my God.
29:15Oh, my God.
29:18Oh, my God.
29:19Hey, you still there?
29:21So...
29:23My roommate, Trusky.
29:25Oh, did he sleepwalk in his underwear again?
29:27No, he didn't.
29:27He didn't, thankfully.
29:28But we were talking and it turns out he's a 5G conspiracist.
29:32So, apparently, that guy that Katie was seeing had a girlfriend the whole time.
29:37I mean, it just sucks.
29:38Like, he didn't really seem like the type, you know?
29:47Did you know my dad cheated?
29:51Adam cheated on Susanna?
29:53Yeah, the first time my mom was sick, he had an affair with his secretary, Kaylee.
30:01I found out about it last spring, like, the same day I found out of my mom's cancer coming back.
30:09How'd you find out?
30:10Um, I came home early from school one day and heard them fighting.
30:20She was crying so much, Belly.
30:22She...
30:22I've never heard her cry like that before.
30:27So, I left.
30:29I went back out.
30:30I drove around town for two hours and came back and pretended not to know anything.
30:35I'm so sorry.
30:37It sucks that you had to carry that secret for so long.
30:42Yeah, it's just exhausting.
30:44Like, I couldn't turn my brain off.
30:48It was like, if you do that, then this horrible thing is gonna happen.
30:52But if you do this, then, you know, just this catastrophic thing will happen.
30:57Oh, my God, that sounds so stressful.
31:05Oh, God damn it, it's two o'clock.
31:08You said you had practice early. I should let you go?
31:09Oh.
31:12Yeah.
31:14Um, off-season workouts suck.
31:16But, uh, there's a rumor that a college scout from Finch is coming to watch our club team play this
31:21weekend.
31:22And there's a chance coach might make me captain.
31:24What?
31:25That's crazy.
31:26I'll definitely let you go.
31:28I didn't know that.
31:30Five more minutes?
31:34Yeah, okay.
31:35Yeah.
31:36I'll do it.
31:37I'm gonna do it.
31:38Yeah.
31:39Oh, yeah.
31:40Yeah.
31:41What are you waiting for?
31:41Watch out.
31:43Good luck.
31:50Wow, you're, uh, really good at operating a keg.
31:55Wow.
31:55Hi, Conklin.
31:57Oh, um, comment bon qu'est-ce pita?
32:00Uh, en Paris le mortal, comme d'habitude.
32:04Yeah, good.
32:05I didn't know you took French.
32:07Oui.
32:08You want one?
32:09No, no, I'm okay, thanks.
32:11Uh, I'm the Didi tonight.
32:13Cheers.
32:18I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.
32:25I could stay lost in this moment forever.
32:32And every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure.
32:40I don't wanna close my eyes.
32:44I don't wanna fall asleep cause I'd miss you, baby.
32:49And I don't wanna miss a thing.
32:51Do you wanna know something so romantic?
32:54Milo wrote this song for me.
32:55It's fine.
32:56It's a cover.
32:59You love that song from the movie Armageddon?
33:02Oh.
33:03Well, it's still romantic.
33:05Okay, wait, don't make me beg you for details.
33:07What did you and Cory talk about?
33:10Uh, the book I'm reading.
33:13I'm sorry, you suck at talking to guys.
33:15Okay, I'm Rusty and also he's the one who brought it up.
33:19And he spoke to me in French.
33:20Bitch, what?
33:21In French?
33:22Okay, that's so hot.
33:24Like, he sounds obsessed with you.
33:26Yeah, I don't know.
33:27I mean, that combo took so much effort.
33:30Like, is it supposed to be that hard?
33:33I mean, like, look at you and Milo.
33:34You guys just make sense.
33:37I don't wanna close my eyes.
33:39Well, Milo and I are soulmates.
33:41I don't wanna fall asleep cause I miss you, baby.
33:44And I don't wanna miss a thing.
33:47Cause even when I dream of you.
33:50The sweetest dream would never do.
33:53I still miss you, baby.
33:55And I don't wanna miss a thing.
34:23Yeah.
34:26Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
34:32I didn't mean to call you that.
34:36I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me.
34:42Please tell me, please tell me why.
34:50Belly, I'm in the crowd, sir.
34:52Hold my shirt for a second and make sure no one spills anything on it.
34:54Ew!
34:55Steven, no, I don't wanna hold your 20 people.
34:57Woo!
34:59Yeah!
35:00What the hell?
35:01Are you okay?
35:02Ow.
35:03Uh, Belly, I'm sorry.
35:05No, yeah, no.
35:05I'm good.
35:06I'm totally fine.
35:07I'm just, um, I'm gonna go get a drink.
35:11You're my sober driver, Bellybells.
35:14Don't let me down!
35:15Steven!
35:16It's no surprise to me.
35:18I am my own worst enemy.
35:21I had this weird thought today.
35:25Yeah?
35:27I love weird thoughts.
35:28I was thinking if my dad had cheated on my mom,
35:34she probably wouldn't have even cared.
35:37Is that hard?
35:39No, but you really think Laurel wouldn't have a reaction?
35:42I mean, kinda.
35:43Like, nothing about my dad ever excited her.
35:46You know?
35:47They were, like, never romantic around each other.
35:50And you wanna see your parents being romantic?
35:54Maybe.
35:55I mean, I just can't imagine marrying someone who didn't give me fireworks.
36:01You know, like, like electric jolts every time I saw them.
36:07Were you surprised when you found out your parents were getting divorced?
36:10Uh, yes and no.
36:12I mean, I always thought divorce meant fighting, you know?
36:16And there was none of that.
36:17I mean, they were cold for a little while, but, um...
36:21Everything's kinda back to normal.
36:24In a weird way, that must almost be a little harder to understand.
36:29Exactly.
36:33Oh, wow.
36:35What?
36:36I don't know.
36:38I've just never sent any of this to anyone before.
36:42Me either.
36:47Hey, can I ask you something?
36:49Anything.
36:52Um, how's, how's Jer? Is he, is he doing okay?
36:55Um, yeah. Yeah, he seems good. Why?
36:59I don't know. I've, I've texted him a few times since summer ended.
37:01And, uh, he never writes back.
37:04Yeah, no. I mean, he's probably just busy with senior year stuff.
37:07Right, right, right.
37:08Or, you know, it's that he'll never get over what I did
37:10and hold it against me for the rest of our lives.
37:12Belly.
37:13Never mind.
37:14Forget I said anything.
37:23I learned something kinda cool.
37:25Tell me.
37:27Did you know that Venus is an evening star
37:31for 263 days out of the year?
37:34And then it disappears from the sky for 50 days
37:36before returning as a morning star for another 263 days?
37:41I did not know that.
37:43That is very cool.
37:44And right now it's an evening star.
37:46It's really bright next to the moon.
37:49I'm actually looking at it right now.
37:54It's, it's probably, uh, against the rules to say this,
37:57but, um, I wish we were looking at it together.
38:06Me too.
38:14And Billy?
38:17Yes, Comet.
38:20I couldn't be with someone who didn't make me feel electric either.
38:48Hey.
38:49Hey, Conklin.
38:51Hey.
38:52Long time no see, huh?
38:53Yeah.
38:53No, I know.
38:54It's been ages, right?
38:55Yeah.
38:56Is that seat taking?
38:58Uh, nope.
38:59Nope.
38:59I'm right ahead.
39:00Yeah.
39:08I wonder if Venus is a morning star or an evening star tonight.
39:12I think Venus is a planet.
39:14No, actually, uh, ancient astronomers, um, you know what?
39:20Never mind.
39:21Okay.
39:22It's dumb.
39:24You know, you can hardly see any stars this close to the city anyway.
39:28There's a lot more by the beach.
39:33I, uh, used to spend every summer at this beach in Massachusetts.
39:37Hmm.
39:39Are you going this summer?
39:41Uh, no.
39:42No, I'm not.
39:44So then you'll be here for the 4th, huh?
39:46Yeah.
39:47Okay.
39:48Well, my folks are gonna be out of town,
39:49and I'll just think about having a few people over.
39:52You and your friends should totally come.
39:54That, that sounds cool.
39:56All right.
39:56Cool.
40:00Come here.
40:02You kind of have something.
40:03Here.
40:04Oh, yeah.
40:07Uh, Belly, no, I was just...
40:09Oh, my God!
40:10No, I was just...
40:11You had something in your...
40:12I have something.
40:12Yeah.
40:13You know why?
40:13Because I just, it's grass, because I just got kicked in my head.
40:15That's right.
40:16Holy shit.
40:16But no, no, no, I'm totally fine.
40:18I'm just, um...
40:18Oh, my God.
40:19I'm gonna go.
40:21Uh, hey, hey, Belly, actually.
40:23Yeah.
40:23Um, could you do me a favor?
40:25Could you put in a good word for me with, uh, your friend Marcy?
40:30Yeah.
40:31With Marcy?
40:32Yes.
40:33And you.
40:34That makes sense.
40:34Yeah, I totally will.
40:35Cool.
40:37Thank you for this.
40:38Yes.
40:38Okay, bye.
40:48Belly.
40:48Belly, come here.
40:51Hey, sis.
40:52Sis, sis, sis.
40:53Check it out.
40:53Check it out.
40:53Check it out.
40:55Oh!
40:56Oh, my God.
40:59I can't believe you did that.
41:01This party sucks.
41:02Dude, it's beer, man.
41:04It'll dry.
41:05Chill.
41:06I'm leaving, okay?
41:08Wait, wait.
41:09Did something happen?
41:09No, nothing happened.
41:11Whatever.
41:11Uh, Steven, can you just get Spike to drive you home, please?
41:14Spike?
41:15No, Spike is drunk.
41:17You promised to be my sober ride tonight.
41:19Okay, well, I'm ready to go now.
41:21Okay, well, I'm not.
41:22Great, then can you just call an Uber or something?
41:24Why are you being such a buzzkill right now?
41:26Oh, I'm sorry.
41:27Am I ruining your fun night, Mr. Perfect Valedictorian?
41:30Kinda, yeah.
41:31Okay, well, in case you forgot, which it clearly seems like you did, Susanna just died, so I'm
41:36a little bit sad, but please don't let that stop you from having the time of your life.
41:40Fuck you.
41:41You know, I lost Susanna, too.
41:43Okay, you don't think I'm sad about that?
41:45Oh, what, were you crowd-serving the pain away?
41:47My apologies.
41:48No, you should apologize.
41:49You screwed up and now everything is weird with Conrad and Jeremiah.
41:53I mean, they won't even text me back anymore because of you.
41:54Okay, guys, wait a second.
41:55That is not my fault.
41:57Isn't it?
41:58Hmm?
41:59I should be celebrating with them tonight, but they wouldn't come because you made things messy.
42:05You had Jeremiah and it just wasn't enough.
42:07You had to have Conrad, too.
42:10God, you are so fucking selfish.
42:12Steven!
42:13What?
42:13Serious?
42:14I had to have Conrad?
42:16Are you kidding?
42:18I was in love, Steven, like out of my mind in love.
42:21What was I supposed to do?
42:24Belly.
42:26Belly.
42:27Steven.
42:32Hey.
42:34Steven is a drunk idiot right now.
42:36Please do not listen to him.
42:37No, he's right.
42:38I mean, I ruined things with both of them and then Susannah died and I completely ruined
42:43her funeral and I just, I wish I hadn't started any of it.
42:45No, you don't.
42:46Yes, I do.
42:46No, you don't.
42:47Yes, I do.
42:47And I'm so tired of feeling sad all the time and I just, I don't think I get to feel
42:52better.
42:53You think that right now, but I promise you.
42:55No, no.
42:56No, no, no, no.
42:57Nothing is promised.
42:58You can't promise anything.
43:01Sorry.
43:01Sorry.
43:01I just, I know you're trying your best.
43:05I don't, I don't expect anyone to understand what I'm going through right now and I think
43:10I just have to deal with it alone.
43:18I'm going to go.
43:19I'll go.
43:20I can come with you.
43:21No, no, no, no.
43:21You stay.
43:22I mean, it's your boyfriend's debut and I just, I just need to go to bed.
43:29Will you text me when you get home, please?
43:31Yeah.
43:33I love you.
43:33I love you.
43:35I love you.
43:45I don't think I'm going to do that.
44:03I got my driver's license last week
44:07Just like we always talked about
44:10Cause you were so excited for me
44:13To finally drive up to your house
44:17But today I drove through the suburbs
44:20Crying because you weren't around
44:26And all my friends are tired
44:29Of hearing how much I miss you
44:33But I kinda feel sorry for them
44:36Cause they'll never know you the way that I do
44:39Yet today I drove through the suburbs
44:42And pictured I was driving home
44:46To you
44:49And I know we weren't perfect
44:52But I've never felt this way
44:56For no one
44:57Oh, and I just can't imagine
45:02How you could be so okay
45:05Now that I'm gone
45:08I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
45:15Cause you said forever
45:18Now I drive alone past your street
45:22You said forever
45:24Now I drive alone past your street
45:40Hey, happy almost Halloween
45:43Conrad
45:44Conrad
45:45I know I'm not supposed to be here
45:47But I'm
45:49Here
45:52I brought candy
45:58Do you want me to go?
45:59No, no, no, no
46:00Um, don't wait
46:01Just, um
46:04What?
46:04Uh, what are you doing here?
46:06Um, I wanted to see you
46:10So
46:11Yeah, yeah
46:12Um, you know, but I thought
46:14Right, no, I know, I know you
46:17You were worried about Jared
46:18But look, I had a chance to talk to him
46:20And he's doing really good
46:22Actually
46:22He's, um, doing on dates, you know
46:25And, um, he's been on this high
46:27Ever since he got made Homecoming King
46:28That's great
46:29So, um
46:31He's over
46:32Yeah
46:35I think he is
46:42Billy, I don't think I could ever get over you
46:46I mean, I'm not
46:47I'm here
46:50But whenever I talk to you, I'm just happy
46:53And I gotta say
46:54Standing in front of you right now
46:55It's torture
46:56Not being able to kiss you
47:27Belly, we need to talk
47:28I'm kind of tired
47:30Sit down
47:40You didn't eat?
47:41Your guidance counselor emailed me
47:44I didn't know you lost your volleyball captaincy
47:46Or that your grades were so bad
47:48Yeah, I'm sorry
47:49I'm not getting into Princeton like Steven
47:51That's not what I'm saying
47:53You can do better than this
47:55I'm really disappointed in you
47:57Sorry, Mom
47:58You know, Susanna died, remember?
47:59You don't get to use Susanna's death as an excuse
48:01This whole year has been hard for me, too
48:04You were barely here
48:06And I don't blame you for being there for Susanna and the boys
48:09They needed you
48:10But you can't blame me either for things that happened because you were away
48:13This isn't about blame
48:15This is about you and the choices you made
48:18It's about taking responsibility for yourself, even when things are hard
48:21Life keeps going
48:23You can't just give up
48:25You want to talk about taking responsibility?
48:27You won't even promote your book because you refuse to talk about Susanna
48:32You can't just suddenly be concerned about volleyball when you haven't gone to a single one of my games this
48:37year
48:38I waited all year for you to step up and be a parent
48:42You gave up way before I did
48:55You have to do that at every stop and it's kicking up my gag reflex
48:59If you'd rather walk, we can let you out right here
49:03I'd probably be safer, honestly
49:05Hey, you don't got to worry, man
49:07I'm fully sober
49:09Fucking belly, man
49:11Taking my car and leaving me straight into my own party
49:14Who does that?
49:16I don't know
49:17Who yells at their own sister in front of everyone for being sad?
49:20She yelled at me first
49:22So mature of you, Steven
49:24How about you try some compassion next time, asshole?
49:27Aren't you supposed to, like, come together in grief?
49:31Life cannot be separated from death
49:33Wow
49:35So helpful
49:36Man, thank you
49:38Milo's very in touch with his emotions
49:40That's what makes him a great musician
49:42Aw, thanks, babe
49:44You know
49:46I actually have a record label interested in Siamese
49:50What?
49:51Yeah, check it out
49:52Cancel Culture Records
49:57Babe
49:58They only have one post
50:00Yeah, that's what's so punk about it
50:02Yeah, dude
50:03Congrats, man
50:05Congrats
50:07Oh, it's me, man
50:26My darling Steven
50:28Congratulations on your graduation
50:31This is the start of what is sure to be an exceptional journey
50:35I wish I could be there to watch you shine
50:38But you have an extraordinary mom
50:41Who will be with you every step of the way
50:44Remember
50:45The world is not only happening to you
50:48But you are happening to the world
50:51And don't forget to enjoy the ride
50:53Love, Susanna
51:21Hey, I know it's late
51:22But about the bookseller event
51:26I changed my mind
51:27I'll do it
51:34I knew I'd lose Susanna eventually
51:40I just didn't know I'd end up losing all of them
51:44In my memory
51:45The three of them will always be entwined
51:47Forever linked
51:49There can't be one without the others
51:55I still remember
51:57The look on your face
51:59Now
51:59They're all gone
52:01Through the darkness
52:02At 158
52:04The words that you whispered
52:07For just us to know
52:09You told me you loved me
52:11So why did you go
52:14Away
52:23Away
52:24Away
52:24Away
52:26Away
52:44Just like our lives
52:51Ellie?
52:52Hi, Jeremiah. I'm so glad.
52:54Are you with Conrad?
52:57Uh, no. Why would I be with Conrad?
52:59I-I don't know. I just thought maybe you guys would, um...
53:03Jared, what is going on?
53:07Conrad's gone.
53:09Wait, what do you mean, gone?
53:12He's not answering my texts or picking up my calls.
53:15Since when?
53:16Yesterday.
53:18I mean, isn't he in the middle of finals? Maybe he pulled in all night or at the library?
53:21No, no, I don't think so.
53:23Apparently, he told this from me that everything is fucked and then he just took off.
53:28I think I'm gonna go to Brown in the morning and see if I can track him down.
53:31I'll never get Susanna back.
53:33But I can't let Jeremiah and Conrad go too.
53:36Okay.
53:37I'm sorry.
53:38But I'm coming with you.
53:44Yeah.
53:46I saw you dancing in a crowded room.
53:50You look so happy when I'm not with you.
53:54But then you saw me caught you by surprise.
53:58A single teardrop falling from your eyes.
54:03I don't know why I run away.
54:08Ooh.
54:11I'll make you cry when I run away.
54:15Ooh.
54:19Take me back cause I wanna stay.
54:23Save your tears for another.
54:26Save your tears for another day.
54:31Ooh.
54:34Save your tears for another day.
54:40Ooh.
54:43Ooh.
54:44I don't know why, yeah.
54:47Ooh.
54:49Ooh.
54:51I'll make you cry when I run away.
54:56I'll make you cry when I run away.
54:57Save.
54:59Save your tears for another day.
55:04Ooh.
55:05Ooh.
55:06Ooh.
55:06Save your tears for another day
55:14Save your tears for another day
55:22Save your tears for another day
56:04Save your tears for another day
56:06Save your tears for another day
56:36Save your tears for another day
56:40Save your tears for another day
