How did Belly think a relationship with Jeremiah after marriage was going to work if this is the way she looked at him and or talked about him. Now, I know she told Steven (trying to convince herself) that all the irritating things about Jeremiah is no big deal, but any of us that are married knows the irritating stuff usually just gets bigger after marriage. As the saying goes Now that they have caught the fish, they stop feeding it and hence any small irritation usually just gets bigger. Or the honeymoon would be over as soon as the marriage started.

Now, I know Jellies can bring up that scene where she mocked Conrad about Stanford but it wasn’t about stuff that she disliked about him but rather her trying to cater for Jeremiah’s inferiority complex and that mocking actually became a laughing stock for them because yes, Conrad did become a grown up in Stanford while they stayed two little kids.

Which brings me to another point, did she ever see his manchild behaviour and compared it to how Conrad had become a man? (I think she did because otherwise would she say, he thinks he’s some grown up… but true to Belly form, she would’ve immediately pushed it down).

Belly didn’t just think he was physically gone. She thought he had moved on. She thought she had lost him again. And considering she literally fell down the stairs because she thought Conrad is gone..

And then Conrad's Nope...Still here.

Like… him saying I’m still here. Still loving you..never stop loving you❤️

Belly was clearly uncomfortable with Jeremiah trying to mark “his territory” right next to his brother and her ex boyfriend, like five weeks after s2 finale.

And let’s not forget how Belly and Conrad immediately stopped being cute at Thanksgiving when Jere looked at them like he wanted to throw something at them. They were being considerate. And Belly, here, at least tried to not throw it in Conrad’s face but of course Jeremiah has to act like he always does.

They will never make me like him.

This scene hasn’t been talked about enough. The heartbreak, the yearning, the longing, the passion all of it coming from both sides. You can feel how deeply they still love and want each other...

Looking foreward to the final scene being added to these beautiful collage once the movie comes out ❤️❤️

Twitter is talking about it. I guess we can too. But wow, I don’t know what to say.

Belly’s first time with Conrad, did it bring Conrad to tears or like, did Belly take his soul in this moment? I’ve seen fan theories that he was a virgin, too, and I just find that difficult to fathom plus I think Nicole mentions them having been together like that in the past.

But my god, Conrad’s expression here is immaculate. His devotion sublime. Belly, girl, how good you had it!

Does this add anything to our understanding of this scene? It was already such a sweet, perfect and beloved moment. Is he crying or am I crying? Probably me

Edited: because apparently I’m 100 😭

Lyrics from Lost Weekend (Reprise) that make me think of Conrad Fisher 🥹

Belly told Conrad to go to hell…. And he did….. for 5 years

It was all worth it to him though…

Then he experienced one day of heaven, just for her to momentarily send him back again.

They’re going to have the best love story to tell their kids one day.

Btw, this is intended lightheartedly. They could laugh about it in Paris and ultimately see the funny side of all the hurt. That’s healing.

​

The number of likes on their recent posts really says it all. You can see just how much people love Chris and Lola and how excited everyone is to see updates from them. 🥹❤️

They’re both so genuinely loved by their fans, and honestly... I just love that for them. They deserve all the love and support!

And boy has it been a ride. The hurt in Conrad’s eyes when he sees Belly and Jere make out, the conversation with Belly after. The birth of sassy Conrad, he will always be famous, and that scene was the one thing that got me through this episode, as the pain just keeps growing right after. Exile playing when he leaves the two and then breaks down outside, that was just agonizing.

While it was clear as day that Belly and Conrad would get back together at the end of the show (the composition of them all lying in bed or on the floor, the lighting says it all), having to wait for season 3 for two years was no fun at all. Especially after being left with Belly in a relationship with Jere, saying that this isn’t what she pictured, while Conrad is back at the summer house and puts everything back in place. 

But glad that we made it out, and let’s hope for sassy Conrad 2.0 in the movie. 

There’s something so powerful about putting these two moments side by side because they feel like two different chapters of the same love story

“I thought you knew".”

Those words carry so much of the uncertainty that defined their earlier relationship. There’s love there, but also the assumption that love can be understood without being spoken. The hope that the other person can read between the lines and recognize the looks, silences, and the little gestures, and yet somehow know what’s being left unsaid.

But that kind of love can also leave so much room for misunderstanding as was the case in that scene. Conrad assumed Belly knew how much he loved her without ever truly saying the actual words

“**I need you to know.”**

That one word — **need** — changes everything.

This isn’t about hoping someone understands anymore. It’s about choosing to be vulnerable enough to tell them. It’s about taking something that has lived inside you and finally putting it into words.

I think that’s what makes this parallel so beautiful.

The first moment is about being understood without speaking. The second is about speaking because being understood matters.

There’s also something really beautiful about the physical parallel in these shots. In both, there’s this closeness and quiet intimacy, but the emotional meaning is different in each.

Both Chris and Lola’s performance makes that evolution hit even harder. The bottom scene unlike the first doesn’t need a huge reaction. The emotion is in the stillness — in the way Belly closes her eyes, in the small expression on both their faces.

It’s such a subtle reminder that growing up doesn’t necessarily mean feeling less deeply. Sometimes it means finally learning how to communicate what you feel.

From “I thought you knew” to “I need you to know.”

From assuming love could speak for itself to realizing that sometimes love needs to find its voice. 🤍
