Previously on
The Summer I Turned Pretty…
[Conrad] I just have to stay away from her
until the wedding,
and I won't think of her that way again.
- How have you been?
- Um, I've been good.
[Steven] Look, Taylor and me
are just friends now.
Why don't you ask Denise out, then?
[Belly] Hey.
Are you guys on the road?
Bad news. I'm stuck at the office.
I can't make it to Cousins
this weekend.
I will make your shower extra amazing.
[Belly] I'm carrying all of this
by myself.
Goddamn it.
Fuck it, we're going to Michaels.
Pillage corporate America.
I can't stop replaying it in my mind.
What it felt like to be
that close to her again.
[Adam] I know Laurel's not happy
about the wedding,
but if you're dead set on it,
you and Belly have my support.
He also said he's gonna pay for it.
And I can start looking
at apartments for us, too.
[Conrad] Whatever I was thought was
happening here was only in my head.
She and Jere… that's the reality.
[gentle music playing]
[alarm chiming]
[grunts softly]
Hey.
You should go back to bed, I'm sorry.
No.
That's okay.
- I'm good.
- [grunts]
- I don't mind.
- Mm.
- How are you so cute in the morning?
- [door opens]
[Adam] Morning.
Okay.
[Belly] Good morning.
[door closes]
[Adam sighs]
[Belly singing in distance]
You're up early.
Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to make sure
I had enough time
to review the new Nectar files
before today's meeting.
Did somebody mess with the settings
on my coffee machine?
Uh, I think Belly programed it
so it'd be ready when you woke up.
- Is… is it not working?
- No.
Neither is the shower drain.
Because it's clogged
with your girlfriend's hair.
Fiancée.
[both chuckle]
Look, you said she could stay
as long as she wanted.
Yeah, but it's been two weeks, Jere.
What am I supposed to do?
- Well, you could… Mm, I mean…Kick her out?
- [door closes]
- Hey.
- Oh, hey, Belly.
We were just discussing
your plans for the week.
Oh, did you ask him?
Um, no. Now is not a good time.
Ask me what?
[sighs] W… Um,
we're-we're trying to look
for an apartment near Finch,
but it's just been kind of hard
to find the time, that's all.
Oh. You want a day off?
Maybe just tomorrow morning.
Don't you have that, uh,
club walk-through with Paige?
Oh. Well, I could
drive there tomorrow morning
and then be back, like, in the afternoon?
You know what? Just take this morning,
and you can go to Cousins tonight,
to be safe, you know?
Avoid traffic.
Uh, what about the Nectar meeting?
If you don't make it back in time,
I'm sure we'll manage without you.
When you see Conrad,
will you please tell him to respond
to my emails about suit shopping?
- Thanks.
- [whispers] Suit shopping.
[regular volume] Thanks, Dad.
He hates me being here, doesn't he?
Uh, no. No, no.
[sighs] Yeah, although
you c-could be a little neater.
Uh… uh…
But who cares what he thinks, okay?
No. He's right.
I should go back tonight.
I just miss you up there.
I don't want to be up there without you.
It's not that I don't want
to go back to Cousins, it's just,
when I'm with Jere, everything is easier.
- It's only a few weeks.
- [chuckles]
And then you're done with Breaker,
- and I get you all to myself.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
[laughs] Okay.
I'm gonna take a shower,
- then let's look for a nice place to live.
- Okay.
Preferably with walls.
- [laughs]
- And a bed. Um, great.
[laughs] Hey, remember.
- Yes. Take my hair out of the drain.
- Yes.
[Belly] Got it.
Okay. Now, this is the apartment
I liked best
out of the ones we saw online.
- This place is amazing.
- Right?
And I can't believe it's still available
and in our price range.
- [chuckles]
- Wait.
You don't think a grad student
got murdered here or something, right?
No. No. I-I think we just got lucky.
- [laughs]
- Okay.
Let's go.
Newly resurfaced flooring
and a washer and dryer right in the unit.
Wow.
Wow. I love the light.
Look at this range.
- I mean, I can cook dinner every Sunday.
- [gasps] Yeah.
- Invite all our friends over.
- [chuckles]
- The high ceilings are nice.
- Yeah.
We normally don't rent to students,
but this place has been open for a while,
so they're willing to make an exception.
Just a warning:
this ain't a party building.
Oh, no, no, no, we're not party people.
We mostly just study quietly.
This place will go fast.
So, if you're interested…
Bells?
- Yeah. It's-it's perfect.
- [chuckles]
Great.
It's a standard application.
Background and credit check.
That shouldn't be a problem.
I have excellent credit.
Uh, and-and say someone
was a little behind on credit card bills,
will that negatively impact
the, uh, credit score?
[laughs] Sorry. Excuse us.
Uh…
[whispering] Your dad
pays your credit card.
Yes, but, um…
…I have that other card, too.
R-Remember, I signed up for it
to get the free Bruins tickets?
Uh…
[regular volume] Um… [chuckles]
We are very responsible people.
Super, super responsible.
Almost newlyweds.
- Yes.
- [both chuckle]
Oh… no, no! I'm-I'm not pregnant.
- [laughs] No.
- No, no, no.
If you'll excuse me,
I have to get to my next appointment.
[Belly] Okay.
[sighs]
We have no chance in hell, do we?
Uh, we could get my dad to cosign.
No. No. We need to do this by ourselves
because if your dad helps,
then he has a say in everything, so…
All right. All right, hey.
I promise we will find
a great place to live
that doesn't require a credit check.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
[gentle music playing]
Huh.
It's… it's cozy.
Cozy like a coffin.
Yeah.
It's, like, freshly painted.
It's a nice color.
Yeah.
- [Jeremiah] Ooh.
- Gross.
[Jeremiah sniffs]
- Oh…
- Oof.
No.
Is that a bathtub?
[animal skitters]
- [groans]
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
Oh, that's something…
Something's moving. Go.
Hey, this one's cute, right?
[Jeremiah] Yeah. It's…
Granite countertops.
- That's nice.
- [chuckles]
- [Jeremiah] New paint.
- Yeah.
- [Belly] Hmm.
- It's a pretty big closet.
[sniffing]
Wait.
What's that smell?
Is that, like… cat pee?
I don't smell anything.
- Liar.
- Okay. Come on, Bells.
We just need a place to live
next semester.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
Jere, this is our first
apartment together.
I don't want wake up to the smell
of cat pee every day.
Okay, so we'll Febreze it, all right?
Let's just go with this one.
I have to head back soon anyways.
Jere, Febreze is not, like,
some magical potion, okay?
And I don't want to sign a lease
just because you're in a rush.
Yeah, I'm in a rush because
I need to make my dad's meeting.
Okay, well, your dad said
they don't even need you there, so…
Yeah, and I'm busting my ass
to prove him wrong.
Okay, Jere, but this is important, too.
You're right. You're right. I'm sorry.
We don't have to take this place. Okay?
We'll just call it for today and, um…
look for more places on the weekend.
- Okay.
- All right?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Okay. All right.
[Belly] All righty.
[insects chirping]
[contemplative music playing]
[Conrad] Oh.
You're back.
- Yeah.
- You've been gone for a while.
I…
There's some more chicken in the fridge
if you want something to eat.
Uh, I'm… I'm not hungry.
I'm just gonna go to bed.
Night.
Guess I'll be eating Kit Kats
for dinner tonight.
[ NIKI: "Every Summertime"]
Baby, I'd give up anything ♪
to travel inside your mind ♪
Baby, I fall in love again ♪
- come every summertime
- Hey. [chuckles]
My daddy taught me
to choose 'em wisely ♪
but you don't have to try ♪
'cause, baby, I fall in love…
Oh, hello.
- Oh, it's wonderful to see you, Isabel.
- Hey.
Yeah, you, too, Paige.
Thank you so much for, um,
helping coordinate the wedding
so last-minute.
Yeah, it was kismet with the Arons
canceling their bat mitzvah.
- Yeah. [laughs]
- Shall we?
- Yeah, sure.
- So much to show you.
Now, there are a few things
I've been holding off on
'cause I'm waiting for your approvals.
[Belly] Yeah. I'm sorry, I know,
I just wanted Jeremiah
- to weigh in on them, too.
- [chuckles]
- [string music playing]
- How is Jeremiah?
He's good. Yeah, he'll be at the tasting.
- Oh, wonderful.
- [hands clapping]
[Covington] Everyone.
- [music stops]
- Five minutes, please.
[indistinct chatter]
[pensive music playing]
Here we are. So, as you can see,
we're setting up for a gala tonight,
for the National Association
Against Censorship.
It's about the same size as your wedding.
Uh, confirming that the ceremony
will be outside, correct?
Uh, yes, that's right.
- Photos on the stairs?
- Uh, sure.
Um, did you get my text
about the anatomical heart ice sculpture?
[laughs]
Oh.
I-I thought it was a joke.
I can certainly look into that.
Um, but just so you know,
we've had some trouble
nailing down vendors
so close to the big day.
Kayleigh and I just confirmed the caterer.
Can they do lobster rolls? 'Cause that's
what we were planning to serve.
Yeah, they don't really do sandwiches.
But they offer a formal lobster entrée.
I'll ask if they have a sample
available at your tasting.
- Okay.
- Uh, now, there's one other thing
- I wanted to ask you about.
- Yeah.
I was thinking it might be nice
if your mother lit both of the candles
for the unity candle portion
of the ceremony.
Uh, I don… Uh, I don't
think we're gonna do that.
Oh. Okay.
Uh, should we go
look at the ceremony location?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
[somber music playing]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [phone vibrating]
Hey. Hey, uh, how was
the walk-through at the club?
[Belly] Uh…
…still going on.
Is everything okay?
I'm just having second thoughts
about what we're doing.
Okay.
It's just not how I pictured it.
I mean,
it feels like, suddenly,
the ball is rolling
and everything is just
happening without us.
Wh-What do you mean?
It's getting so big, Jere.
I mean, Paige said that we're
gonna need four bartenders.
Four.
Two weeks ago,
we were just gonna get a keg.
[chuckles]
It's our-it's our wedding day.
It-It's only happening once.
Jere, we have over a hundred RSVPs.
I don't even know a hundred people.
Look… my dad is just excited.
I know your mom and dad
will come around.
I just don't want to be looking out
at a… at a sea of strangers
on our wedding day.
So don't.
Look at me.
[chuckles softly]
I got you.
[Belly] Jere's right.
All we need to do is cling to each other
to get through this storm.
We love each other
and that's what really matters.
Okay.
And I promise
we'll find a nice place to live.
I know.
- I'll call you later.
- Okay.
- [Denise laughing]
- Bye.
[Steven] …cover my space.
You wreck my space.
Fine, go for it.
[Denise] I'm just making sure
that you're not gonna get poisoned,
- you know?
- Not on my keyboard. Oh, my God.
Well, then move your shit over.
- I don't know what you want.
- Such a pain
- right now.
- You can have some of my lettuce.
You two are pretty chummy these days.
- [Denise scoffs]
- Yeah, well,
you know, we just trauma bonded
over StarcadeX.
- Mm.
- Huh.
So, Fisher,
what is the dress code
on this wedding, huh?
Uh, you're coming?
Mm, yeah, obviously.
I'm not gonna miss a chance
to schmooze with the partners.
Oh, really? Really?
'Cause I thought-I thought
you were gonna, you know jump…
Okay. Yep.
[Denise] Dress code, nepo baby.
Come on.
Again with the nepo baby?
[chuckles] Sorry.
Um… I don't know.
I think we're thinking yacht formal.
Wow. Yacht formal.
- Oh, my God.
- Not at me.
- Oh, my God. Oh…
- [laughs] Did that get you in the eye?
- Yeah, aim it anywhere else.
- I'm so sorry. [laughs]
- Oh, Jesus.
- [Jeremiah] It was Taylor's idea.
Whatevs.
So besides, uh, suit shopping
with Conrad and your dad,
what other wedding crap
do they have dealing with this weekend?
[scoffs] Well, we're basically done.
Now that it's at the club, they
pretty much handle everything for us.
And then Kayleigh's handling the rest.
Wait, Kayleigh Kayleigh? From here?
That is so not her job. [scoffs]
Well, she's just helping us out
as a favor for my dad.
She's worked here forever and she's
basically, like, a friend of the family.
Friend of the family.
That's what you are, too.
- [Steven] Don't! Don't…
- [Denise laughs]
- Don't we have a meeting to go to?
- Oh, Jesu…
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Yeah, but seriously, we got to go.
- Wow. Yeah.
[lighthearted music playing]
Mm, so…
what are you doing this weekend?
Want to meet up?
Uh…
Uh, the… Like, this wee…
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, g… Oh, I… You know, I can't.
I can't. Um, I have to drive five hours
drive down to my sister's bridal shower,
which is at my ex's house. Uh…
Well, because, uh, because
my mom's boycotting the wedding.
Oh, no, I was just hoping
that we could, um…
Never mind.
That sounds fun. Uh, just…
I'll catch you later. Okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
[vehicle approaching]
- [engine stops]
- [door opens]
Hey.
Hi.
Sprinkler head's fucked-up.
How's the club?
- Fine.
- Cool.
Cool. Hey, I made some food
and I put it in the fridge for you.
Um, yes, it is chicken, before you ask.
But I also put some
corn on the cob and a cookie.
- I'm not that hungry, but thank you.
- Yeah.
Well, it'll be there.
Thanks.
Are you still cool with me taking the car
to Philly tomorrow for the bridal shower?
Yeah, of course.
I'm just gonna take the train to Boston.
Okay.
I don't suppose that Laurel's…
changed her mind about coming?
No.
[Taylor] Tomorrow's gonna be
- amazing.
- [Belly] Yeah.
Okay?
Laurel does not know what she's missing.
Thanks. Thank you for everything.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Chin up, babe, okay?
Go do something really nice
- for yourself.
- All right. See you soon.
Was that Belly?
Is she so excited for tomorrow?
No. She was, like, practically in tears.
Fucking Laurel.
- Ugh.
- Like, I can't believe that she's
boycotting her own daughter's
- bridal shower.
- I can.
Laurel has always been
unreasonable and overprotective.
- Mom…
- And judgy. Do you remember
- your 13th birthday?
- Uh-huh.
When you got pulled over
driving me and Belly home
from, um, TGI Fridays?
I'd had one and a half mudslides.
I wasn't drunk. I didn't even
- get a ticket.
- Yeah, that's 'cause
you flirted with the cop.
- Well…
- Speaking of cocktails, did you
get lemons for the
French 75s tomorrow?
- I got everything that was on the list.
- Okay.
Stop stressing, baby.
Us girls are going to have a blast.
Yeah. And Steven.
- Steven's coming, too.
- Huh.
- Yeah.
- Hmm.
He's just driving all the way from Boston
to go to a bridal shower?
Yeah, a bridal shower for his sister.
Oh, come on.
No boy drives five hours
to be the only guy
at his sister's bridal shower.
- He's giving you an opening.
- [clicks tongue]
- Just saying.
- Okay, well, stop saying.
Go squeeze some lemons.
Okay.
You just messed 'em all up,
the ones you just perfectly fol…
Ugh!
[pensive music playing]
Damn it.
- [Adam] Mm-hmm.
- [Kayleigh] Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles]
- Are you happy?
[Kayleigh] I'm so happy.
Thank you.
- Okay.
- [Kayleigh] Yeah, it just means
- a lot.
- Is that what you want?
- Mm-hmm.
- [knocking]
Hey, it's Jeremiah.
[Adam] Yeah. Come in.
- Hi, Jere.
- [Jeremiah] Hey,
- Kayleigh.
- Did everything
go okay with Belly
this morning at the club?
Yes. Yeah, great.
- We couldn't do it without you.
- [chuckles]
Right. Yeah, uh, thank you
for setting that up.
I've known you since you were a kid.
It's… it's my pleasure.
- [chuckles softly]
- [Kayleigh chuckles] Oh.
By the way, you guys
are all set for tomorrow.
Conrad's taking the train in.
He's gonna meet you at the suit shop.
And then for after,
I made a res at Il Mare.
- I know how you like oysters, Jere.
- Thanks, Kayleigh.
Can we change that to Grass Fed?
It's Connie's
favorite steakhouse
and he's never in town.
Jere?
- Grass Fed is great.
- Okay.
Uh… I'll just…
I'll give you this, then.
Yeah. Okay.

Connie.
- Hey, Laur.
- Hi.
And they may not…

- Of course.
But it will,
it's just a question of when ♪
I've lived…
Can I get you guys
anything to eat?
I'm good, thanks.
Uh, yeah. I'd love
just the…
cheeseburger and fries.
- She'll do the same thing.
- Uh, none for me, thanks.
And,
- uh, coffee, please.
- [waitress] Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
[clears throat]
So, what's up?
I want to talk to you about the wedding.
And why I think you should go.
[scoffs]
Belly seems to be doing just fine
without me.
John will give in to her the way
he always does. I'm pretty sure
Steven's agreed to be Jere's groomsman,
only he's too chickenshit to tell me.
Adam's footing the bill. Taylor's
- the wedding planner.
- Not anymore.
Dad asked the woman that
he cheated on Mom with to take over.
- Kayleigh?
- Mm-hmm.
You got to be fucking kidding me.
So break my heart if you must ♪
It's a matter of trust…
Wait, how did you know about that?
You can't go…
I've known for a long time.
I heard them fighting about it years ago.
I just only ever told Belly.
I know you have doubts…
I cannot believe you kept that secret
bottled up for so long.
Who, me?
[chuckles]
It's, like, my thing.
Yeah, no, you're right.
- It is your thing.
- [laughs]
You've got nothing to lose…
Um…
[clears throat] Look, I didn't ask you
to come here to talk about that.
Um…
Let's talk about the wedding.
I think you should be a part of it.
You think Belly and Jeremiah
should get married?
- I didn't say that.
- Then what do you think?
Some love is just a lie of the mind…
I think that they love each other.
It's make-believe until it's only…
And that they're gonna go through with
this regardless of what anyone thinks.
And I think that Belly really needs
her mom right now.
She's not eating, Laurel.
She's so sad.
You should have seen her today.
She's all alone. She doesn't have Jere,
he's doing his internship in Boston.
Jeremiah is not thinking this through.
He's not taking it seriously enough.
Well, he's serious about her.
This wedding is happening, Laurel.
And if you aren't there for her, you will
regret it for the rest of your life.
…aware, love, we've both ♪
had our share of ♪
believing too long ♪
when the whole situation was wrong…
- Thanks.
- Mm.
Some love is just a lie of the soul…
Are we speaking honestly
with each other here?
Don't we always?
Yes. That we do.
So, tell me.
What's your interest in all of this?
Some love is just a lie of…
I just want her to be happy.
Just her?
And Jeremiah, too.
And what about you, Conrad?
When do you get to be happy?
'Cause it's always been
a matter of trust ♪
I'll be happy when the wedding's over
and I'm back at Stanford.
It's always been a matter of trust ♪

[Steven] Coming.
Hey. Thanks for letting me
- barge in on your Saturday.
- Oh, wait,
- shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes.
- Ooh. Hey.
Sorry.
- [Steven sighs]
- All right.
- Oh. Nice setup.
- Thank you.
Okay, you want to tell me
what's so crucial
that you couldn't wait till Monday?
I mean, you know I've got that thing
with my sister in Philly.
You remember what I said to you
on the train?
About wanting something more?
Uh…
Oh! Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Uh, did you get another job offer?
Oh. No. Uh, not exactly.
I mean, I've been looking, for sure.
And I…
met with a ton of places after the gaming
convention, but they all sucked.
- [chuckles]
- But then I realized,
why the hell am I messing around
with these tech bros
and their shitty-ass ideas
when I have my very own tech bro
with a pretty fucking great idea
right in front of me.
I can't get your stupid-ass game
out of my head, Steven.
[short chuckle]
You're saying you want to start
- your own company?
- Yeah.
With me? I'm sorry,
you can't be serious right now.
Yeah.
Okay, apparently you are. Wow. Uh…
So, the thing is,
if scam artists like
StarcadeX can get attention
from the big name VCs, then why can't we?
[sighs] Oh, God.
Okay, um… For starters, I mean,
we'd be in breach of our contract
with Breaker if we left.
- Well, my contract's almost up.
- Okay, well,
I've got, like, two more years
left on mine.
And they practically make you sign
those things in blood.
Okay, yes, it's definitely
gonna be tricky to pull off, all right?
We would have to do everything on the DL.
- Wh…
- No record of it anywhere.
But… hey…
I love a challenge.
And I know you do, too.
You know, for what it's worth, like, I…
I wouldn't potentially blow up
my entire future for just anyone.
Okay? I…
I genuinely think
that we would make a great team.
[gentle music playing]
Well?
- [sighs, groans]
- Mm?
- Okay, let me see the business plan.
- Yes!
Come on, Conklin.
- Okay. [groans]
- All right. So, here.
All right.
One year for startup plus incorporation
- Yeah.
- and trademark, all of that.

Oh, Mrs. Evans. Hi.
I can't believe

They look great.
Oh. Okay. Let's party.
- Okay.

- Charcoal gray pinstripe.
- Thank you.
[Jeremiah] Maybe classic navy?
- Sir?
- Oh. Thank you.
[quiet, indistinct chatter]
- Mm.
- Hmm.
So, Dad, what-what do you think…
the merino wool
- or the silk?
- The silk.
- Really? Why?
- You'll thank me when it's 90 degrees.
- [laughs] Okay.
- [Adam chuckles]
I remember my first custom suit.
I couldn't afford it, but I knew
my clients would take me more seriously.
I was so full of shit.
You wouldn't believe it.

Okay, so what's, like, the craziest thing
you did to impress one of your clients?
I want double vents in the back here.
Double vents.
Just like mine. Here.
Stand up straight.
Come on. Straight.
Button that once.
Looking sharp.
Look at this. Look at this.
[Conrad] Yep. Thanks, Dad.
- Ready? Here we go.
- Okay.
- Pass the bow.
- Pass the bow.
Here we go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Belly laughing] Okay, good.
Okay.
[gasps]
- Aw!
- [guests exclaiming]
[laughs]
Aw…
Wait, that's so sweet.
- Wait, Belly, look at me.
- Wait… [laughs]
Aw…
This is so sweet. This is amazing.
Thank you, Anika.
Of course.
- Okay.
- Did Steven say
if he was running late or something?
Um… no, but it's…
it's okay if he bails.
- Yeah.
- I mean, my mom came,
that's the most important thing.
- Happy for you, babe.
- [chuckles]
This is, um, this is from Mrs. Evans.
- Oh! Nice.
- [Mrs. Evans chuckles]
- Okay. Oh.
- Pretty.
Ooh.
Wow! "Isabel Fisher." That's…
That's… that's on there.
Oh.
Sorry, Mrs. Evans.
The stationery is beautiful.
I just… It's so weird
seeing that as my name.
Aren't you planning on changing it?
And maybe then
they'll let you tell me 'bout…
You could hyphenate.
Conklin-Fisher is kind of sexy.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. Yeah.
[Belly] Uh…
I… I guess I figured
I would keep my name.
Like my mom did.
- Hey, hey. Open mine next, hon.
- [Belly] Yes!
Oh, God. What?
- [Anika] You can do it, you can do it,
- [Belly] Do you know what it is?
- you can do it.
- No.
- You don't know what it is?
- Which is the problem.
Laurel, cover your eyes.
[Belly laughs] What does that mean?
[Belly inhales]
- Wow.
- Wow!
Hello, ladies!
I am sorry I am la… [shrieks]

- Why would you…

- Hi.
- Hello, Steven.
Yeah, you're late.
Where's Belly's gift, you cheapo?
Is that it?
[Steven] Yeah.
AirTags. Pack of four.
You know, so you don't lose Jere
on your honeymoon.
[giggling] Did you stop at Target
on the way here?
Okay, and? A gift's a gift.
Oh, my God, Lucinda. Nice outfit.
- [Lucinda] Aw. Thank you, babe.
- [Steven] Come here.
- Come here, you. Babe. Aw.
- Yeah.
Okay, next gift.
- Let's…
- Okay!
- …let's do this one.
- Yay!
Who's this one from?
- [Rusted Root playing "Send Me On My Way"]

Whoa.
Laurel showed up to the shower.
She's got to be

- [Adam] Wow.
[chuckles] Told Belly she'd come around.
Happy for you two.
Oh. Uh…
Con, are you gonna bring a plus-one?
I'm just wondering
for seating arrangements.
Nah, I'm good, dude.
Yeah? You gonna make a play
for one of Belly's bridesmaids?
- [chuckles]
- Oh, she's-she's not having bridesmaids,
just a maid of honor.
But her friend Anika is hot.
She's single.
[laughs] Uh, there's no point, dude.
I'm going back to California.
Well… well, that's exactly the point.
[both laugh]
[clears throat]
- Uh, while we're on the subject.
- [turns radio off]
I have some news for you boys.
I am seeing somebody
and I want to bring her to the wedding.
She's great. She's-she's kind,
she's nice, she's beautiful.
And you already both know her.
It's Kayleigh.
- Whoa.
- Yeah.
- [laughs]
- Are you serious?
Yeah.
[mournful music playing]
Yeah. It's-it's, you know, it's been
four years since your mom passed, and…
Kayleigh's really important to me.
Hey, I'm-I'm glad you found someone
that makes you happy, Dad.
- Right, yeah.
- Thanks, bud.
So, when did this thing
with you and Kayleigh start, Dad?
We've… liked each other for a long time.
It's just not until recently
that the timing was right
for us to give it a real try.
Right.
[Jeremiah clears throat]
[ Alvvays playing "Archie, Marry Me"]
- [indistinct chatter]
- Hey. So beautiful.
That looks good!
[Belly] Okay. Send that to me.
[shutter clicks]
- Hi!
- Hi!
- Fire.
- Yes.

- Who's ready for the honeymoon game?
- [cheering]
Okay, okay. Can you pass this?

- This is, like, so, so, fragile.
- Ah! Is that what I look like?
- Okay.
Mom, why are you…
- [all] Belly!
- [laughs]
[all] Yes!
Marry me, Archie…
- [laughing]
- [Anika] Okay, okay, party people.
Does Belly know which celeb
Jeremiah would want to be stuck
on a desert island with?
Uh… Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Correct.
- [Belly] Mm-hmm.
- [Anika] Okay, next question.
Does Belly know what Jeremiah considers
his weirdest personality trait to be?
[chuckles]
- Did you just copy me?
- What? No.
You just have unnaturally fast reflexes.
Yeah. You would know.
Floral arrangements and…
- [Belly] Jere hates…
- What does that even mean?
…having food and drink
in his mouth at the same time.
Correct. You have not
missed one yet. Damn.
Yeah. I mean,
I've known Jeremiah, like, my whole life,
- so… [laughs]
- [guests] Aw…
All right. Am I the only one who finds
her knowledge of Jere trivia
low-key frightening?
[Taylor] If they weren't engaged,
I would tell Jeremiah
to get a restraining order.
[Taylor clears throat]
- Are you two making fun of me?
- [both] No.
Okay.
Last question. Does Belly know
the name of Jeremiah's first pet?
Steven, this is Jellyfish 101.
Yeah, I know… Oh, wrong side. [sputters]
No! You copying me again?
[Steven] Okay, no. I changed my answer.
- No.
- Which is legal.
You were copying me again
after I said something.
- No, there are no rules towards changing…
- No way. No, no…
- [Steven] That is such…
- Guys.
- No way. He said no.
- [Belly] The answer
is Rosie the dog, and Jere found her
on the beach, and she ran right up to him
and covered him with kisses,
and it was probably
the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
- [guests] Aw.
- [Anika] Rosie is correct.
A perfect game for Belly
and a win for Taylor.
- [cheering and applause]
- Thank you.
Uh… [imitates buzzer]
[scoffs] Um, hold up.
Hold up. Uh, the winning point
should go to me, no?
Conrad found Rosie, not Jere.
Uh, no. Jere definitely found Rosie,
and you're wrong.
- [scoffs] No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.
- I'm not. No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are, Steven.
Nobody cares. No, stop. It doesn't matter
who found the damn dog.
The point is, is that Jere's first pet
was Rosie, so I win, you lose.
- Okay, no… Don't… No, no, no.
- Yes, you do.
- Don't start with me. No.
- Yes, you do. - [phone vibrating]
- You're the loser.
- All right, whatever, whatever.
- I'm getting a phone call.
- I won. Again.
[Steven] Okay, I actually
have to pick this up.
Look, do not start the next game
without me, all right? Hi, Denise.
- What's up?
- [Lucinda] Who wants another drink?
Drink? Drink?
- Yeah. Get a drink.
- Yes. A drink.

So won't you say ♪

Steven is wrong.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I mean, she slept in his bed,
and he cried when the owners
came to pick her up.
I know, you're probably right.
- Yeah.
- Steven's just being a shit stirrer,

right now?
- Do you not like the shower?

and I just, I realized
that I've been so focused

I'm gonna be someone's wife.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

That's the idea.

did I think you were…
completely insane

Yes.
But…
then I-I…
I thought about it, and it's like…
you and Jeremiah are really lucky.
You're really lucky
because you know what you want.
And it's like… not a lot
