1 Year, 5 Months, 6 Days Before
Just before their senior years of high school, Matt and Anne pull up to a nature trail.

=== 3 Months After === Anne reminds Matt that the two definitely had their "high points".

=== 1 Year, 5 Months, 6 Days Before === While hiking through the woods, Matt trips on a root and injures his knee. With Anne's help, they are able to get to a clearing. Matt leans up against a tree. They decide not to call their families or 911 for help, citing the fact that they weren't supposed to be out there alone.

=== 3 Months After === When Anne says the two of them did some "pretty stupid" things in high school, Matt says that stupid things are "the

most memorable" things.

=== 1 Year, 5 Months, 6 Days Before === Matt and Anne decide to call their last resort for help, Emmett Lloyd. Emmett agrees to help them out.

=== 3 Months After === After Anne asks how they were able to salvage a night that, given the circumstances, should have been a disaster, Matt chalks it up to the fact that the two were in love.

=== 1 Year, 5 Months, 6 Days Before === Now fixing s'mores at their campfire, Matt and Anne begin a serious discussion when Anne asks Matt how many children he wants to have. After a playful interchange between the two, Matt asks Anne if she really thinks the two of them will end up together. She replies with the titular "I hope so".

=== 3 Months After === Matt, piggybacking off Anne's "I hope so" line in the flashback, adds a simple "I did, too."

Trivia

 * The house Emmett leaves in the flashback is, in real life, director/writer John Barton's house. That scene was one of several shot back in Palm Bay, Florida, instead of in Gainesville, Florida.
 * The rest of the "I Hope So" flashbacks were all filmed at Paynes Prairie State Park in Gainesville.
 * Although implied in the episode, it's never outright stated what Matt and Anne were doing out in the woods that night. The full story is that Matt and Anne had each lied to their parents and told them that they were going out for dinner and a movie when, in reality, they were sneaking out into the woods for a late hike and s'mores with a campfire. Therefore, they decided to call Emmett instead of either of their parents so that their cover wouldn't be blown.
 * In the "I Hope So" flashback, there is a subtle reference to College Life. In the third episode, "Parliament Push", James Ryan and Emmett Lloyd are playing The Game of LIFE. James uses 4 vans, enough to hold himself, his "wife", and 22 kids. In this scene, Matt says he wants to "start off with about 12, and then if that works out, I could go for another 10", putting his total at 22 kids. Anne responds by telling him he'd need "like 4 minivans for that".
