Jet and Kendi spend a weekend together in Houston, discussing her weekly “Photography Sundays” tradition with Ryan, which developed after Nana’s funeral. Jet reflects that Ryan is sober most Sundays but occasionally drinks; when he does, she leaves him and photographs alone, choosing to keep trying because mercy with an alcoholic is ongoing.

Kendi urges Jet to skip Photography Sunday for a surprise. He has already checked with Ryan, who agreed. The surprise is a flight in a Cessna 172; despite Kendi’s reassurances as a licensed pilot, Jet is anxious but boards to show her trust. The flight proves miserable for Jet—she feels sick and afraid throughout—though it is safe.

After landing, they go to dinner. Jet worries that hating flying might mean she and Kendi are incompatible, since aviation is his passion. Kendi reassures her that he needs her, not another version of himself, then proposes with a pearl ring. Jet happily accepts, joking that their earlier kiss had already bound them, and they celebrate with ice cream plans.

Back at Kendi’s apartment, Shauna, Michael, and Ryan surprise them with a homemade sponge cake, photos, and congratulations. Jet steps onto the balcony, overwhelmed by grief for Lillian and the milestone she wishes to share with her mother. Ryan joins briefly, silently acknowledging Jet’s grief. Inside, the families discuss last names—settling on Darnell-Bright—and devise a wedding hashtag, #thefutureisdarnbright.

Jet asks Shauna to be her matron of honor, and Shauna tearfully accepts. As the parents leave, Ryan tentatively asks Jet to consider a father-daughter dance; Jet gives a noncommittal response, not ready to decide. Jet chooses to stay one more night with Kendi before an early drive for class.

Alone, Jet admits her past struggle with throwing up as a control mechanism and her fear of hurting Kendi the way Ryan hurt Lillian. Kendi refuses to back out and affirms his love. He also shares that he missed Lillian that night. Without deciding details like where to live or children, Jet and Kendi end the night together, newly engaged and tenderly connected.
