If you ever wanted a grand romantic gesture that screams endgame, look no further than this:
Conrad Fisher spent $473 to change his flight from Brussels to Paris.
Could he have kept his original ticket to Brussels and taken a $20 train to Paris an hour and a half later?
Yes.
Did he?
No.
Because he wasn’t willing to waste another second away from Isabel “Belly” Conklin.
And according to fans, THAT is how you get the girl.
It Wasn’t About the Money — It Was About the Urgency
Logically speaking, the cheaper option made sense.
Financially responsible. Practically sound. Totally reasonable.
But love isn’t logical.
Conrad didn’t want “an hour and a half later.” He wanted now. He wanted immediate. He wanted no extra stops, no delays, no symbolic distance.
The choice wasn’t about saving $453.
It was about not losing one more moment.
And that kind of urgency? It hits.
Grand Gestures vs. Guilty Proposals
Of course, fans couldn’t help comparing this to Jeremiah Fisher.
While Conrad was rearranging international travel without blinking, Jeremiah was buying a proposal ring that many viewers joked felt rushed and guilt-driven.
The contrast feels cinematic:
One brother spending a small fortune on flights he never even used.
The other rushing toward a proposal that didn’t sit right with half the fandom.
Fair or not, perception matters. And in this case, Conrad’s gesture reads as intentional and selfless — not reactive.
The Stoop Scene: Waiting Isn’t Nothing
To be fair, Jeremiah had his own grand romantic image: sitting on Belly’s stoop, waiting.
Fans even joked that he waited at least as long as that $20 train ride would have taken.
And waiting means something.
But here’s the difference some viewers point out:
Jeremiah waited hoping to be chosen.
Conrad moved immediately because he had already chosen.
Subtle distinction. Huge emotional impact.
He Rearranged His Life Without Flinching
What stands out most to many fans is that Conrad didn’t seem phased.
Flights changed. Money lost. Plans scrapped.
No complaints. No hesitation.
Just action.
That level of decisiveness, especially from someone known for overthinking, felt significant. It showed growth. Clarity. Certainty.
When Conrad knows, he moves.
So… Is This the Ultimate Endgame Evidence?
In The Summer I Turned Pretty, love is messy, complicated, and often mistimed.
But sometimes it’s simple.
If a man is willing to spend $473 just to be one and a half hours closer to you…
The math might not make sense.
But the message does.
