In the third episode, Miriam is shown to deeply care about Jake despite being opponents at the time, refusing to let Alec manipulate him again like he did on their season. However the two cooperate alongside Fiore to prevent Cyan Team from winning, mostly because Miriam wanted to save Jake despite her distrust towards the girl.

Tom reacts tearfully, explaining that it was complicated and that he was afraid of messing things up again with Jake. Miriam expresses concern for the youngster and tells him that true courage comes from conquering your greatest fear. At the bus stop, Ashley asks Jake and Miriam if they would like to visit her farm some week after this is all over, and the boy happily accepts, asking Miriam if she was ready to ride some horses, but she "passes" on the offer, deflating Jake, pointing out her old hip, only to reveal she was joking and accepts, making Jake's mood improve again. The three friends then exchange a group hug.

In "Like a Dark Horse", after the participants have been handed letters, Connor inquires about the contents of Jake's, to which he answers that his parents are still upset with him due to his "coming out." He says Miriam helped him move out, but he and his parents haven't spoken since.

Collateral Damage[]

After being informed by Lucía that something's up with Tom, Jake thanks Ellie and Gabby for giving him space following the news, which concerns Gabby who offers staying the night, however Jake responds that it was getting late and that Miriam was here.

Later, Jake, Lucia, and Miriam meet at the donut shop to get some donuts for Tom. Lucia says the case is going well and she hopes justice will be served, despite the fact that some officers from Johnson's station threatened her position, but she took the risk for "Tommy".

Later that night, the four of them gather as Tom apologizes for making them worry, but they forgive him. At Tom's house, Tom expresses his exhaustion and guilt for allowing Johnson to injure the man they pulled over, and Jake reassures him that his actions were effective. As Tom watches Jake prepare dinner, he freezes in fear of the knife and yells at him before going to bed. One week later, Jake discusses the incident with Ellie, Gabby, and Miriam, who believe he requires mental help. Miriam reveals that Tom spoke with her about his family life: he had a wonderful mother, but his father was less than ideal. Jake then gets an idea for how to help Tom.

That night, everyone holds a toast to Miriam, who shares their sentiments and gives a speech about how they touched her heart.

Six weeks later, we see where the campers are now: Jake has started a wedding planning company, Gabby goes on missions with Lucia, Tom works as a lifeguard, Ellie is a famous fashion designer, and the two couples spend Christmas with Miriam and Lucia.

Moments[]

  • In one of Miriam's personalized greetings, she's asked whether she'd met Jake's family in person, and she denies, saying she wouldn't desire to from what she has heard. Miriam narrates about buying Jake a home because she'll probably be dead before spending all the money, and that Jake has the right to be happy, as he did so much for her in season 1, and it only seemed right.[1]
    • When asked about Jake's current situation in All-Stars, she describes him as a "good boy" who has only done a bad thing, but is smart enough to learn from his mistakes. She also appreciates Ashley's positive influence on Jake. Miriam sends Jake a message as part of the request, being, "Kick those villains' asses!".[2]
  • In one of Jake's greetings, he points out that he and Miriam are definitely still gonna stay in touch after All Stars as he remarks that "she's his only family left" in his words.[3]

Fanon[]

Miriam and Jake are one of the most popular familyships due to their close bond inside the second season, and like with the rest of ships, it has its following without using a ship name in concrete, rather going with 'Miriam and Jake from Disventure Camp'. Some also were moved to the fact Miriam saw Jake as her grandson, and were totally supportive of the two during All-Stars. While some were sad that Miriam was eliminated and feared that Jake might be affected to this, it surprisingly changed their mindings when it's revealed that Jake gained determination to win despite this.
