Many blessings to Steve!
And absolutely zero to Ben, who makes a childish little I cantwaitto meet him remark before leaving.
He better be so freaking good in bed (you know hes mediocre at best).
Itll mean a lot to Steve, Jessie says.
Theres no us with the two of them.
Jessie is interested in exactly none of it.
He can see she doesnt look happy.
At laser tag, Tom decides to test the waters.
Hes much more cool and confident than weve seen from him in a while.
He tells Jessie to watch out because hes pretty fucking good at laser tag.
Again, I dont know how Tom pulls off sexy while wearing a laser tag vest, but goddamn.
He gets closer and closer to Jessie until he finally kisses her.
And then Ben kills him because, say it with me everyone, Ben is the worst.
Thankfully, Jessie recognizes this act.
Ill always love you, but that doesnt mean I like you or want to be with you.
Youre a fucking asshole, Ben, she promptly responds.
We broke up because you were too scared to be with me, she says.
And if that all sounds exactly like someone else we know on this show, good.
It one hundred percent should.
Tom apologizes for kissing her, especially because hes leaving for the U.S. in a week.
Its just confusing seeing you, he tells her.
The back-and-forth that follows is wonderful in that it is sad and also feels so authentic.
Jessie asks why they really broke up shes confused.
Isnt that the same thing?
But no, it really isnt.
Therein lies the problem.
Which brings us to the partys final stop: Paddle boats in the pond.
Because what is a romantic gesture if it doesnt take place in or near a body of water?
You ever see a Nicholas Sparks movie?
Everyone is, like, perpetually wet in those.
(And yep, I SAID WHAT I SAID).
Its kind of your thing, Kate tells her.
That is a top-notch, queen-level get-agrip friend.
I Ben-ed Tom, didnt I?
leads Jessie to the only logical conclusion: She needs to talk to Tom.
So, she hops into the pond.
She hops into the pond!!!
Instead, the scene is hilarious and lovely and so goddamn swoony.
I am swooning!!
So, now Jessie is in the water.
And she walks over towards Toms boat and tells him she wanted to say shes sorry.
Was it that urgent?
Yes, of course it was.
I love you, she tells him, laughing at how that sounds coming out of her mouth.
She apologizes again before heading back to her boat, but thenTom hops into the water!!
Not to be, like, dramatic about it.
Tom reaches for Jessies arm, pulls her back toward him, and kisses the hell out of her.
He says he loves her, too!
The fountain in the middle of the pond goes off!
We are all cheering because love is the best!
And for the second season in a row,Starstruckcompletely sticks the landing.
just, for the love of God, tell me theyll be going for the trifecta.
