Hear me out: Reboot edition

If you're just starting the show or haven't finished through season 6, this post is not for you 🙃

Maybe someone has already posted this here (let's be honest, I'm bad about being on Reddit on a regular basis). I'm doing my millionth rewatch, and I put spoiler for those who don't know about the Jake and Peyton situation.

I keep having this wild idea that since CMM isn't really down for doing the reboot, what if, hear me out: Lucas has passed away since we left off. Jake never ended up getting married to anyone, just worked and focused on Jenny. Peyton and Jake reconnect and they get together?? That way we still honor Peyton and Lucas, because they were meant to be. But we can also live out our happily ever after fairytale with Peyton and Jake. She's grown, she's matured, she's a mom, and they are two people who make each other happy.

Thoughts???
