But that’s how much he loves his friend and wants to make things better. Dash finds him, but it means he’ll have to go to a place that truly terrifies him: A Jonas Brothers concert in Hudson Yards on New Year’s Eve. Like a good Gen Z-er, Dash goes to Boomer’s Instagram to track him down. Now Dash needs Boomer’s help to try to figure out what to do and his best friend won’t talk to him. It’s been a week since things ended so disastrously between Dash and Lily…but also between Dash and Boomer. The Fiji part is obviously alarming to Dash, but it’s really the idea that Lily would give up believing that hits him hard. She was happy she had one last Christmas in which she believed in the magic of the season and the magic of New York, but she knows better now. She writes to him that she’s leaving for Fiji and also that he was right - they would’ve never worked out. The saddest! Well, finally Mark shows up with the notebook and one final message from Lily. Dash is at the Strand being the saddest boy who ever lived, hanging out by the Salinger books and saying things like “What I’m looking for isn’t here” when well-meaning Strand employees offer some help. That’s right, people: We’re back where we started. Thanks to bookstore clerk Mark, Dash knows that he’s running out of time to make things up to Lily. And I mean literally ticking: The finale episode continually reminds us of how many hours we have until the clock strikes midnight, one, because it is New Year’s Eve, but more important, because Lily and her parents will be on a flight to Fiji that night that departs at midnight. The clock is ticking on Dash and Lily’s love story.
