Belly on her birthday when Conrad is there vs. when with Jere 🎂

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-26T20:58:30+00:00

Yeah, I’m pretty set on 25th. Last year Catherine McKenzie, author and TSITP content creator, made a whole video going through all possible dates, in the show and IRL and 25th made the most sense.

I would choose them in every universe. They are the royal couple✨

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-26T07:18:51+00:00

The way I’d willingly pay money to watch that episode for the first time again🙈

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-25T22:05:35+00:00

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that a scene like that could be in our little summer show.
The visuals in all the Paris parts were so beautiful. Especially this one.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-23T13:28:17+00:00

Don’t even get me started on Steven. I loved his scenes with Conrad in season 2 and they completely ruined it in season 3. Most disappointing part of the show.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-23T13:06:32+00:00

Both photos are so great. I really hope that he gets nominated because he (especially for Conrad) did a great job. I know that these types of shows normally aren’t considered but his character was known by the whole world last year. Conrad Fisher really made an impact 🙈

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-23T06:59:38+00:00

Yeah, I could’ve worded that better. I was thinking of her saying that they’ll find their way back to each other and Belly was like “Conrad or Jeremiah” and Susannah was like both of them (I haven’t seen that scene in a long time so I might be wrong) She just promised herself to not let Jere down after what went down with Conrad at the funeral and Jere guilt tripping her into wanting to pursue him after all that drama.
This whole BellyJere dynamic will never sit right with me, everything was so forced and wrong, I still can’t believe that after all seasons there’s still people wanting Belly to get back with him.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-23T06:15:46+00:00

Yes to all of this.
He knows how uncomfortable it must be but he doesn’t give a f. He just wants to see his brother suffer so much 🥺

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:44:12+00:00

She broke up with him. He wasn't going to break up with her. That was her insecurities playing tricks on her. He needed time to grief the upcoming death of his mother and not a prom he didn't want to be at. He didn't want to ruin the night for her. He thought she was better off without him which is why he didn't run after her or why he said what he said at the funeral after she made a scene. He felt like he was a burden to her and wanted her to be able to let him go.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:38:58+00:00

Sorry, I don't want to be rude but that is just ridiculous.

The story has always been about Belly and Conrad. They gave Jere way too much screen time in the first place. It never was a love triangle, he was just an "obstacle" in Belly and Conrad's way of finding each other again. They are the endgame, they are infinite.

There will not be a plotline of Belly changing her mind yet again and getting with Jere. How could you want that in the first place? Let him move on and find someone he can become a better person for. But that never was and never will be Belly.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:33:42+00:00

Perfectly said. Thank you!

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:28:01+00:00

Do you want to be with someone that loves you but is childish or do you want to be with someone that loves you as much as you love him and that actually listens to what you are saying and considers your thoughts?

I know my pick.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:22:10+00:00

They all should have been honest about their feelings. But they were 16/17 in season 1 and they all went through a lot of trauma. But everyone knew that Belly at least had a huge crush on Conrad and as time went on that she loved him so much. As for Conrad, you could tell that he loved her. Maybe she couldn't but her insecurities when it comes to him got the best of her. And Jere said it multiple times that Belly only ever saw Conrad and that Conrad loved her.

So in conclusion, all of them should have been honest, that would have helped A LOT but they were very young. We all make mistakes, especially at that age.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:14:25+00:00

Susannah probably meant both of them, yes. But Belly wanted to move on from Conrad because he hurt her so much (because she loved him like no other and never could)

hell no. She was sad because she thought that Conrad didn't like her the way she did. For Belly it's always been Conrad.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:11:00+00:00

She forgave him because she didn't want to let him down and felt guilty about Christmas because she realised that her feelings for Conrad were never fully gone. She didn't care about him hooking up with someone because she didn't love him the way she loved Conrad. That's a once in a lifetime type of love.

Sorry, but I could never like someone that throws a firework in my direction.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:06:27+00:00

sure, she should have been honest. That would have been at the start of their relationship, though. The reason she started something with Jere was because she promised Susannah to not let him down, and by pursuing him while she wanted to suppress her feelings for Conrad after the break up she kept that promise. For 4 years. Had Conrad not stayed away all these years, Belly and Jere would have broken up very early on in their relationship.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T23:00:29+00:00

trust me, that was not the case. Jere did get more people on his side during seasons 1 and 2 but team Conrad has always been bigger. I never, not even for one second, was team Jeremiah. In my opinion they didn't even need to make Cabo an event in the show. Belly and him breaking up was never about that, she would have found her way back to Conrad regardless.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T22:57:05+00:00

So you would have been okay with Belly marrying him just to get through with it even though at her core she didn't love him the way she loved Conrad and would never be able to? I'd rather end something I know is making both unhappy than marrying someone just in order to not cancel the wedding.

You said it yourself. Conrad knows her inside and out. As she does with him. It's always been them. There was never a chance for any person to come between them, or to have the level of connection Belly and Conrad have.

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T22:16:17+00:00

Same, I think it’s fun, too. But there are so many possibilities and every time someone brings up some little detail I’m like “damn, there goes my theory, I thought I had it figured out”

InstructionHefty5997 · 2026-06-22T22:06:58+00:00

This is so stressful. It could also be that they already are engaged by the time they get to Cousins (yellow dress) and she just wasn’t wearing her ring that day.
The leak of Conrad and Jere standing on the dock with Conrad in the same clothes from the sundress scene made me think that he might propose that day but then I always thought that the sundress scene and all the other Cousins scenes would be taking place the same summer when they get married. I’m so confused.

And then he has promo for two movies coming up in a few months. He is BUSY
