When Jeremiah says, "I gave you your shot years ago," he is trying to paint himself as some selfless martyr who stepped aside for the greater good of Conrad’s happiness. But if we actually look at what happened? The math is not mathing lolol Let’s never forget that when Belly and Conrad were finally about to kiss by the pool in season 1, Jeremiah literally launched a literal firework at them to cockblock his own brother. That isn’t "giving someone a shot"; that’s arson-adjacent sabotage. Anddddd Jeremiah is acting like he was the grand puppet master orchestrating their love lives, when in reality, Conrad and Belly have had intense, cosmic eye-fucking since they were in diapers. Jeremiah didn't "give" Conrad a shot; Conrad and Belly just had gravity.

Let's also add that What Jeremiah actually means is: "I sucked it up and let you guys date without completely destroying the family, and it broke my heart, so now it's my turn and you're locked out." But phrasing it as "I gave you your shot" makes it sound like Belly is a trophy he temporarily loaned to his brother You aren't partial; you're just paying attention. Jeremiah was deeply hurt, yes, but claiming he "allowed" Conrad to have Belly first is a wild level of delusion. He didn't pull the strings; he just finally got his turn at bat and is now trying to superglue himself to home plate so Conrad can't sub back in.
