13x08 Young Forever

The episode picks up outside the funeral home after Adam’s service. Eli comments at the turnout and Dallas comments how everyone loved him. Bianca snaps how this is utter BS and the doctors should of saved him while Becky comments how Jesus just wanted him close….if Bianca and Eli’s looks could kill in the moment. They walk away and Dallas offers to take her to the post funeral reception she shakes her head and apologizes for saying that to Bianca. Drew then tells Becky that it’s her fault that Adam is dead cause he took the van to get reception and died texting her. Dallas says Drew’s just a mess but Becky is crying saying she doesn’t think she’s welcome anymore.

WHATEVER IT TAKES

Jenna comments how she hates funerals and she misses Paris. As she they are walking Alli gets a text from Leo and ignores it as they approach a crying Becky asking why she’s not at the reception since she’s his girlfriend. She tells the others that she and Adam had a fight and she said they needed space. Jenna says how if she believes Adam is in heaven she can talk to him whenever she wants and apologize. Becky then gets an idea asking if anyone knows how to build a bonfire.

In her hospital room, Clare writes on an RIP Adam facerange page as Eli walks into the room. Clare asks how to say goodbye to someone who changed her life and asks how the funeral was and if Drew cried. Eli said Drew was quiet but the whole thing didn’t feel like Adam at all. Eli comments about the memorial video they are making which will show everyone how great he was.

Drew is moping playing video games as Bianca brings him food. Dave in his one appearance this season and Imogen show up, Imogen tries to lighten things up in her own Imogen way saying it looks like someone robbed a flower shoppe while Dave asks how everyone’s summer was however Drew’s not one for chit chat and walks upstairs. Dallas follows suggesting they go to the bars or something but Drew wants to be alone.

Clare and Eli are editing their video when Audra comes to deliver Clare good news….she’s officially in remission and can go home that night. Eli tells Clare people would love to see her and hear some happy news as they begin to pack up.

Bianca wants Drew to talk to her. She’ll do anything. Drew says he wants his brother back and it was his fault not Becky’s. he was the last person Adam talked to and if he said things different maybe Adam would be there. Bianca tells him about the bonfire and that he should go and Drew says going won’t bring Adam back.

Becky, Alli, Conner, and Jenna are setting up for the bonfire as Becky places a chair for Adam. She thinks perhaps it was a stupid idea. What if nobody comes cause Adam’s friends don’t like her and Drew hates her too. She wants things to be perfect for Adam.

Eli shows up at the hospital asking why Clare isn’t getting ready. Clare is worried she shouldn’t go cause her immunity is still weak. Eli says he’ll be her hug proxy and that she wants to honor Adam doesn’t she. Clare tells Eli that Adam got her through her cancer and that she doesn’t want people to judge her cause she got to live and he died. Eli says Adam wouldn’t want her to be sad or guilty.

Becky thinks the party is a bust and is about to pack it in when Alli tells her to look and soon everyone from school ends up showing up. Imogen tells Becky it’s going to be a packed house…er…field as everyone gathers around to talk celebrate Adam’s life. Again it’s a moment where there is no dialogue needed.

Eli and Clare arrive and Eli says it reminds him of the party Adam threw for Fiona at the old church and how it was that night the two of them finally sparked. Eli says Adam taught him the power of twinkle lights. 

Everyone sees Clare and wants to hug her but Eli intervenes. Conner asks why she’s out of the hospital and she shares her news. Now she just needs to make the most of her life.

While the party is going on a grieving Drew is ambling in tears around town ignoring his friend’s texts and looking over the memorial page stopping when he sees the video Clare posted.

For the most part it’s all music and if I didn’t delete Shazam I’d tell you the song. It flashes from Drew to the bonfire and it’s just emotionally raw despite it not being a ‘Quarterback’ situation and Jordy still being very much alive.

Drew finally shows up to the bonfire  and Dallas embraces him. Drew asks how do we move on and Dallas says we find a way to say goodbye. I just love this bromance and I’m sure I’ve said and will say it allot.

Jenna sings as Drew looks at the memorial saying Adam did a stupid thing but when he’s passionate about something he goes after it which is why everyone is here to say goodbye. Drew won’t cause he’ll always be there in his memory. Dallas teases unless Drew gets concussed again as he lets out a little laugh. Drew then tells Becky thanks for throwing the party Adam would of loved it and that he’s sorry for yelling at her. Drew asks how do they move on and Becky says they should make Adam’s death mean something.
