Slides

1. Jeremiah and Belly’s engagement is a hot topic, but it’s clear that there is going to be a lot of hardship ahead regarding people finding out, never mind getting married in August.
2. But, at the very least, while licking her wounds over Steven, Taylor finds out and becomes the sole person happy about it the entire episode.
3. Though with learning her mom’s salon, Lucinda’s main source of income, is maybe a month from going under, Belly’s engagement is a silver lining. However, with Lucinda’s mom having money, things may not get too bad.
4. For Belly, though, while Susannah’s dedication goes well, the post-lunch ruins everything. After everyone but Jeremiah gets praise, she announces their engagement, and no one in the room supports them.
5. In fact, Steven, Adam, and Laurel are against it, and Conrad – who showed up just in time for the dedication – is utterly dumbfounded.
6. Is it wrong to say I’m more invested in Laurel and John, Agnes and Lucinda’s situation than the majority of the main storylines and drama?
7. Don’t get me wrong, the anti-Belly, stop being so impetuous movement, I’m here for, since I feel like Belly being consistently held accountable for her actions is needed – especially since she is an adult.
8. But, and maybe this is because I’m getting older and may need to phase out teen/YA dramas, but I’m just not able to really get into Belly’s relationships.
9. Steven’s? To a point, whether it is his work relationships or with Taylor, but Belly’s just feels too much like a fantasy of a girl who never felt chosen getting to live vicariously through someone with an abundance of choice.
10. Which isn’t to imply Belly’s life is perfect, but it is significantly missing what you’d expect it to have for someone who is the lead character and, increasingly, I’m finding the supporting characters having far more interesting lives than her.
