Scarlett arrives in Stockholm with Jan’s help, uncertain whether Lukas will want to see her. Jan pushes her to plan a proper grand gesture as they drive to his family home. When they arrive, Lukas is already outside, clearly expecting her.

Lukas reveals he has been checking Scarlett’s location and cannot sleep without knowing where she is. Scarlett admits she is terrified by how messy and uncontrollable falling in love feels. They reflect on her previous trust in him and confirm they want to be together, agreeing to make decisions jointly.

They discuss logistics: Lukas suggests a med school deferral or honoring his Stanford commitment so they can be in the same place while she finishes undergrad. Scarlett worries about influencing his life choices, but Lukas insists time apart is the only waste and that choosing her is his decision.

They acknowledge that they have effectively been dating for months. Lukas admits he fell for her early and hid the depth of it; Scarlett fears he’s angry about her NCAA retreat, but he says her actions hurt her as much as him. He also reveals he had a ticket to St. Louis, ready to follow her.

Together they decide to attend the upcoming US Olympic trials and plan to spend the summer together in Melbourne. They set boundaries for a monogamous relationship, with Lukas admitting jealousy and rejecting open arrangements. Scarlett finally says she loves him; Lukas receives it with joy, calling their reunion a Midsommar miracle.
