Director Justin Wu told Fandom Wire earlier this month that with no book plot to follow for the sequel, he tried to follow what he felt was true to the characters instead of what he felt viewers might want to see.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to the second movie, I wanted to capture what people loved about the first. It really did mean scrolling through TikTok and reading thousands upon thousands of comments on Letterboxd and other review sources just to see what they connected with,\u201d Wu explained. \u201cMoving forward, I negated a lot of the fan theories and just asked the core narrative question: Where do I think they should go?\u201d<\/p>\n
So, do Dallas and Drayton make it through Intercepted unscathed? Keep scrolling to see where the fan favorite couple end up:<\/p>\n

Sidelined: Intercepted picks up with Dallas in the dance program at Cal Arts and Drayton playing first string quarterback<\/a> for USC. They are living their best lives and happily in love, despite being on opposite sides of Los Angeles. The pair keep in contact through texts, voice memos and phone calls, but with their busy schedules \u2014 and Dallas without a car \u2014 the couple are barely seeing each other.<\/p>\n When they finally do get some in-person time, things are far from smooth. They\u2019re interrupted by Dallas\u2019 roommate when trying to get intimate, and Drayton accidentally oversleeps the next day, causing him to hit traffic and be late for practice.<\/p>\n Dallas also struggles to make it to Drayton\u2019s first big game on time when her job interview runs late \u2014 more on that later \u2014 and she misses seeing Drayton get injured on the field. Drayton ends up hurting his ACL, forcing him to take a hiatus from football and putting even more strain on his relationship with Dallas.<\/p>\n Do Dallas and Drayton Break Up in \u2018Sidelined 2\u2019? Despite tension between them, Dallas and Drayton try their best to stay together, but ultimately realize that calling it quits is inevitable. Dallas gets uncomfortable while attending a USC frat party \u2014 Drayton\u2019s teammates are rude and girls are whispering about how hot he is in front of Dallas \u2014 which she didn\u2019t even want to attend in the first place. Drayton misses Dallas\u2019 big dance showcase.<\/p>\n Eventually the pair mutually agree that they need to split so that Drayton can focus on healing and Dallas can spend more time on dance. \u201cYou\u2019re a dream but you\u2019re not my only dream,\u201d Dallas tells Drayton during the breakup.<\/p>\n Who Are Skylar and Charlotte in \u2018Sidelined 2\u2019?<\/p>\n Skylar (Charlie Gillespie) and Charlotte (Roan Curtis) are the two characters who almost come between Dallas and Drayton \u2014 but not quite. Truth is, Dallas and Drayton\u2019s breakup is really all about them and where they are in life. They are, however, tempted by new faces who come into their lives and connect with them in ways they are craving.<\/p>\n Dallas meets Skylar when she goes for an interview at a local coffee shop, hoping to save enough money (on minimum wage) to pay for the $18,000 (plus living costs!) Cal Arts forgot to tell her she owes despite getting a \u2018free ride\u201d to the school. Dallas almost fumbles the opportunity by thinking Skylar is a woman and accidentally telling him that she \u201cdoesn\u2019t want the job.\u201d He forgives her when she\u2019s honest about why she \u201cneeds\u201d to work, though, and he hires her on the spot.<\/p>\n The duo quickly realize they have a lot in common \u2014 Skylar is a musician and artist hoping to cast someone in his upcoming music video and sets his eyes on casting Dallas. While Dallas deters at first, she eventually agrees and sparks quickly fly between them.<\/p>\n Skyler confesses during work one day that his last girlfriend strung him on for a year when she couldn\u2019t decide between him and her ex, and vows he\u2019ll never do it again. Still, he and Dallas continue to grow closer \u2014 even after she breaks up with Drayton \u2014 their connection is undeniable. After some awkward tension, Dallas promises Skylar he isn\u2019t the reason she broke up with Dallas and they decide to just be friends.\u00a0 But from the longing looks, extended hugs and a sweet (very public with some not-so-subtle lyrics) serenade, Skylar is clearly still pining for Dallas at the end of the film.<\/p>\n
