3.20, “We Were Here” - Someday We Will BeThe conversation, of course, must begin with their past.They make light of the terrible gifts Jonah once gave Andi, but really, they’re kind of laughing about their entire relationship. The on-again, off-again nature of it. The misfires and miscommunications. It’s funny to think of kids reminiscing of their past and going, “Man, we were such children back then” but that’s basically what these two are doing. Like Jonah and picking gifts, we just never figured it out.But that transitions really nicely into the reveal that their bracelet is alive. As Andi once put it, the only times she and Jonah ever really understood each other, it was through that bracelet. It’s always been a representation of their relationship and it serves as that again here.Andi thought the bracelet was lost. Gone forever. And Jonah did, too. But it turns out it wasn’t. Turns out it had always been nearby. They just couldn’t see it because it was hidden amongst the socks. When Andi offers to make the bracelet disappear once and for all, Jonah stops her. That’s not what he wants. He likes the bracelet. He always has. He hasn’t been good about showing it. Because of his immaturity, he would stop wearing it at times, or misplace it, but that didn’t mean he didn’t care for it. He just wasn’t ready for it yet. He wants to wear it now, though. So Andi puts it on him.Does it mean he’s ready to wear it now? I don’t know. Maybe not quite yet.And Andi looks at him and wonders the same thing. If we’d just had a better idea of who we were and what we were doing, what could’ve been.And Jonah, flashing a surprising sense of wisdom, a wisdom that he’s occasionally stumbled upon throughout the series, reminds her that nothing’s set in stone. They didn’t figure it out then, but the future? Maybe we will.Jonah’s last line is so fascinating. Jonah, who just episodes ago, was freaking out at the thought of having to respond to Amber’s declaration of love, declares, unprompted, that he loves Andi.And it’s not the same kind of love, to be sure, but I think it’s, interestingly, a more mature type of love. It’s the kind of love you reserve for someone you really care about. I love you as a person. I love you as someone who means something to me. I see you for how amazing you are, and I love you for that.Will they get back together soon? Will they ever get back together? Who knows? We all keep growing and changing. We learn more about ourselves. We mature. Who can say when someday will be.The wide open nature is the beauty of it. -- source link
