1. Belly Chooses Herself First

A prevalent theory suggests that Belly will prioritize her personal growth over her relationships. After calling off her wedding with Jeremiah, she might embark on a solo journey to Paris, symbolizing her commitment to self-discovery. This aligns with a Reddit user's interpretation:

"She doesn’t ‘pick’ Conrad. She and Jere break up and she experiences life. She grows and becomes who she is outside of the Fisher boys."

2. Jeremiah's Future with Redbird

Another theory posits that Jeremiah, after ending his relationship with Belly, might find new love with his fraternity brother, Redbird. This speculation is fueled by subtle wardrobe choices and longstanding fan theories.

While not confirmed, this potential storyline adds depth to Jeremiah's character arc.

3. Conrad and Belly's Reunion

Despite the complexities of their past, some fans believe that Conrad and Belly will reconcile. The emotional weight of Conrad's confession and the symbolic "Lemon Jelly Belly" moment with Belly's mother, Laurel, hint at a possible reunion.

This theory is supported by the show's history of rekindled relationships.

4. Susannah's Letter as a Turning Point

In a pivotal scene, Jeremiah discovers a letter from their late mother, Susannah, intended for Conrad but mistakenly given to him. The letter praises Conrad and Belly's bond, leading Jeremiah to call off the wedding. This moment underscores the lasting impact of Susannah's influence on the Fisher brothers.

5. Time Jump Leading to a Reunion

Some fans speculate that a time jump will occur, allowing Belly to spend time away from Cousins and the Fishers to "find herself." This period of self-discovery could lead to a reunion with Conrad later, echoing themes from other romantic narratives.

In the latest episode, "Last Kiss," Belly calls off her wedding with Jeremiah and heads to Paris, only to unexpectedly reunite with Conrad at the airport. Key moments include Susannah's misaddressed letter, a touching "Lemon Jelly Belly" code-word between Belly and Laurel, and the symbolic Gate C83, interpreted by fans as a sign of Conrad and Belly's endgame.

6. Steven and Taylor: Rekindling Their Romance

Fans have noticed lingering chemistry between Steven and Taylor, despite their earlier breakup. In Season 3, Episode 7, they share a near-kiss interrupted by Taylor’s mother, Lucinda. Actor Sean Kaufman confirmed this moment would have led to a kiss, suggesting unresolved feelings.

Many speculate that Steven and Taylor will reunite, possibly even considering marriage or starting a family, providing a stabilizing love story parallel to Belly’s journey.

7. Laurel and John: Rekindling the Past

Belly’s parents have a complicated history, filled with love and conflict. In Episode 7, Laurel and John share a moment that hints at lingering feelings. Fans theorize that they could reconcile, offering a narrative of second chances.

A reunion between Laurel and John could also serve as a mirror to Belly’s story, showing that relationships, though messy, can evolve and grow with time.
