“ | It has been four years of good times and bad times. Of adventures and close shaves. I would have never guessed that things would have turned out this way. But as we swim onto uncharted waters, as long as we stay together, we will always be a school… of fish! | ” |
— Bea |

Episode Summary[]
Bea finally begins to realize that she has feelings for Oscar. She asks Shellsea for advice, who instantly tells her that Oscar is definitely not for her. Oscar begins to imagine college life, where he and Bea would just stay friends as she would tell him about all her new relationships. He then realizes that if he wants their relationship to change, he has to change it himself. Bea and Oscar continue to grow closer, Bea still feeling like she and Oscar have chemistry. Milo tells Oscar that he shouldn’t tell Bea about his feelings because it will ruin the friendship, but Oscar is not totally convinced. After seeking advice from her parents, they tell Bea that she’ll know she’s in love when she feels it - "The Big Woo." Bea doesn’t feel the woo, so she doesn’t think that she loves Oscar.
At graduation, Oscar finally admits his feelings to Bea, who cuts him off and tells him she doesn’t know how she feels. Oscar is devastated and Bea goes to give her valedictory speech. In the middle of the speech, she suddenly felt the woo after memories of her and Oscar float by her, so she admits her feelings to Oscar in front of the crowd. Oscar finally heard the words he wanted to hear his entire life and is overjoyed, as is Milo. Bea gains her confidence and gives her speech, and everyone graduates.
