1. All The Sabrina Parallels

   When you’ve been with us because the begin of Season 3, we dove deep into TSITP‘s ties to Sabrina. ICYMI, in Season 3, Episode 2, we noticed a poster in Stomach’s dorm room for Sabrina, the 1954 movie starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden. Followers know that Stomach loves outdated motion pictures and even watched Sabrina on her drive-in film date with Cam (David Iacono) in Season 1. However a Sabrina poster was additionally the inspo behind TSITP‘s Season 3 promo shot, which confirmed Jere kissing Stomach on the cheek as Conrad seemed on. For many who don’t know, the film reveals Hepburn’s character, Sabrina, in a love triangle with two brothers. It additionally reveals her heading to Paris to seek out herself, then later returning together with her chosen brother. Sound acquainted?! Forward of Episode 10, followers assumed the references and parallels to the movie had been teasing TSITP‘s endgame, which, based mostly on the poster formatting alone, could be Conrad. However Jenny took the Sabrina references to a complete different degree within the penultimate episode, basically securing a Bonrad endgame.

   Whereas Stomach and Taylor are speaking concerning the Fisher boys at Stomach’s New 12 months’s Eve occasion, a framed Sabrina poster is on the wall behind them and later seems in a scene when Stomach is shifting. On the cellphone, Stomach tells her mother her new condo “has a view of the Sacré-Coeur. Similar to in Sabrina.” And the scene the place Stomach is writing a letter to Conrad is an extremely cinematic parallel to a scene of Sabrina writing a letter of her personal, additionally sitting on a desk, beside a lamp, with doorways open and the identical iconic view behind her. We expect we’ve seen this movie earlier than, and we DID just like the ending!

2. Whereas Stomach and Conrad might not have been collectively on Christmas in Season 3, Episode 10, “Final 12 months” nonetheless discovered a method to name again to their Christmas in Cousins that modified every part. In Episode 310, Stomach says she has large plans to spend Christmas eve on her personal, and as we study, these plans embody dancing alone to Brenda Lee’s basic vacation hit, “Rockin’ Round The Christmas Tree.” If the scene appears to be like acquainted, it’s a reference to Dwelling Alone (tune and all!), the film Stomach was memorably watching to have fun the vacations when Conrad arrived on the seaside home. “What would Kevin do?!” He would bust a transfer to some festive tunes!

3. Conrad Maintaining Stomach’s Letter In His Pockets Is A Nod To The E book

   When Stomach does lastly reply to Conrad’s letters, Conrad retains the postcard folded up in his pockets. Within the present, the reveal is a candy signal of how a lot her phrases, and the truth that she replied in any respect, imply to him. However the scene in Episode 310 can be a nod to the ultimate paragraph of TSITP‘s third and ultimate ebook. Warning We’ll All the time Have Summer season ending spoilers under, so for those who don’t need any concept of how the ebook ends, skip to Easter egg #4…

   After E book 3 shares the textual content of Stomach’s letter to Conrad, Stomach explains, “For years he stored it in his pockets, mushy and creased into 1,000,000 little folds. He stated it stored him going. Saved him hoping. He stated he needed to maintain it with him all the time, however I stated we should always preserve the letters collectively, the place they belong…” BRB, sobbing!

4. A Deep Dive Into Episode 10 Numerology

   Since we’ve examined every part from occasions on clocks to gate numbers this season, we really feel it’s our civic obligation to place our Taylor Swift pondering caps on and discover the numerology and Angel Quantity potential in Season 3, Episode 10. Conrad’s flight to Paris leaves at 10:45 p.m., and 1045 is believed to represent “a message out of your angels and the Universe to start engaged on creating your individual future, utilizing your distinctive talents, and constructing a powerful basis in your future.” Feels like our man, am I proper?!

   Subsequent up? $473, the very particular fare distinction Conrad is charged to change his flight. As a complete, 473 is reportedly related to twin flames, targets, the presence of angels, and trusting one’s interior self and the trail forward. However added collectively, 4+7+3 = 14, and because the quantity 14 additionally seems on a wall in entrance of Conrad within the ticket scene, some followers surprise if it may very well be foreshadowing Stomach and Conrad’s beloved Valentine’s Day flashback from the books, although that looks like a bit extra of a attain.

   Subsequent up, I’m sadly right here to debunk one other wild numerical-adjacent concept! Whereas it’s very on the market, I’d be remiss if I didn’t admit to clocking it immediately myself. When Stomach’s shifting into her new condo, followers shortly observed “A12” on marked in purple on her shifting packing containers. Contemplating Taylor Swift posted a video with “A12” within the background again in 2024, then introduced A12th album, hopeful followers had been questioning if Han may have a shock twelfth episode in retailer, however alas, it appears that’s simply how sure packing containers are labeled!

5. The Layered That means Behind Stomach’s Haircut

   Whereas Conrad’s on a flight to Paris, we see Stomach prepping for her birthday dinner by heading to the hair salon for a minimize. When the hairdresser asks if she’s certain she desires a chop, she says sure and provides, “I’m prepared for one thing new this summer season.” Whereas the haircut will undoubtedly assist usher in a brand new period of Stomach’s life, it additionally powerfully signifies the top of a previous period. The minimize comes after Jeremiah let Stomach go, then gave Conrad his blessing to pursue her, and the truth that Jere stated, “Don’t ever minimize your hair, okay?” to Stomach in Season 1 suggests this minimize is a major step in direction of letting him go and discovering who she is with out him.

   Let’s additionally take a second to acknowledge that Stomach and Conrad are about to reunite in THE SUMMER for HER BIRTHDAY in PARIS. That’s definitely one thing new, too!

6. The “No Sneakers” Family Parallel

   We all know, we all know, it’s presupposed to be 5 issues you could have missed and a profitable needle drop! However this Stomach and Conrad parallel was too cute to disregard! Foreshadowing their very own shared no footwear residence, maybe?! We will solely hope!

Episode 10’s Successful Needle Drop: “Signal of the Occasions” by Harry Kinds

“Final 12 months” function two of my favourite Taylor Swift songs (“I Can Do It With a Damaged Coronary heart” and “the 1”), plus bangers like “Homicide on the Dancefloor” and a shifting music second for Bleachers’ “Isimo,” however Harry Kinds “Signal of the Occasions” completely closed the episode, welcoming viewers to “the ultimate present” (AKA the finale/Bonrad engame?!) as each Stomach and Conrad took main steps ahead. As Harry sang, “Keep in mind every part shall be alright.
We will meet once more someplace. Someplace far-off from right here,” and people, they’re LITERALLY ABOUT TO. It’s! A! Signal! Of! The! Occasions!
