While Susannah was fighting and dying, she stayed in the family home in Boston. Conrad has the form too.
At this point with Jere graduating, they should have already been talking about what to do with the Boston house. I guess dad, who owns it?, took it for granted that the real estate there could sit forever. No need to sell, just let it keep appreciating.
So, now he can sell Boston, keep his apt, and buy Cousins Beach house—nice trade.


I think this is right.

That scene with the dad and Laurel was just so awkward.

And Laurel convinces Julia in like a 3 minute conversation? Sure, it was mostly because of Skye, but this was all just too fast.


Julia's absolute determination to sell the house ASAP never made sense IMO. I was sure that the problem of money - as in, Julia didn't have any - was going to come up at some point. But it never really did. Also, love Kyra Sedgwick, but she's a much bigger name than anyone else in this series. Casting her is weird unless she becomes a major focal point of the series.

The Conrad - Jeremiah - Belly triangle is really icky. That is all.


Re Julia I didn't really understand her whole story. She felt like an unwanted step sister never accepted so the beach brings back too many bad memories of being excluded?

Re the triangle, it's like they never think it through all the way. Which is how young love is. But if she were to marry Jeremy he'd always be in Conrad's shadow.



It was more complicated than that, they were half sisters.

Taylor's pretty annoying herself. I think I only like Jeremy and Cam Cameron.


Me too, and Taylor.

I really hate the Belly Conrad romance, not cool to have young girls romanticizing the emotionally unavailable brooding boy.

*spoiler for middle of ep7*
Dad was sort of realistic.
Rich people lol. But it does make sense for him to downsize / switch up his living situation if they are both in school, living like vagabonds. Maybe dad rents a 3br instead of whatever big house they live in in Boston.

Also, what house did Susannah live in during fall, winter, spring?? Isn’t there equity there?? Maybe that’s the house the boys live in, and .. weren’t they going to talk about that when she died?? Waiting for Jere to graduate?

Watch s2e7 right now. The scene with Bella and Conrad outside (minute 15 or so)…

It was so genuine to stuff I went through in my 20s. Seriously took me right back to break ups / maybe continuances / pretty much saying I love you while you’re breaking up.

Cute.

Not done with the ep, but I have to say it’s funny that the movers left stuff in the garage. Everything into storage but not that stuff.

I feel like episode 6 and 7 are better than the earlier eps in the season.

This is a "background" show for me, I have it on while I'm cleaning or doing laundry but not really paying attention to the storylines. I love the beach house style and summery vibe, and it's nice to look at young beautiful people, but agree, the plot leaves a lot to be desired.
