This is so bittersweet as much as I was ready for Jessie and Mia I was not ready for the end of the Scorpions. I can say Jessie and Mia did not disappoint the broken boy trope is one I donโ€™t get that often but I love it so much mixed with second chance. 

We get see there is a lot more to Jessie behind his mask and his vulnerability people think men and especially athletes are impenetrable, but scars especially childhood scars go really deep. Mia I could not help but feel for her she had her world turned upside more times than anyone should and she still has the biggest heart especially in the way she is there for Jessie through his trauma and his addiction.

 Their story is very emotional your heart will squeeze a few times. This girl group is always the best the way they bring Mia in and support her is always a favorite with this group. Yes we get more of Mr. Romantic Jon and his fight to be a wedding planner, the epilogue will absolutely have you wanting to just restart the whole series. As much as it will have you excited for the next chapter.
