Before going to meet his friends for brunch during a break from college in 2019, Spencer attempts to fix the game so he can play again as his avatar from the first movie, hoping that this will help restore his self-confidence. The teens remain close throughout the rest of high school and head off to college, but Spencer begins to experience significant self-doubt and withdraw from the group. However, sometime after his friends have left, Spencer retrieves the broken pieces of the game and holds on to it, just in case.
They later destroy the game by smashing it with a bowling ball. After exiting the game in 2016, the teens meet an adult Alex, who is excited to finally see their real (non-avatar) faces. He names his oldest daughter Bethany, after the girl who saved his life in the game, and his parents continue to live in the former Parrish house. After Alex is returned to 1996, he grows up with his memories of the game intact, gets married, and has children.
