This weekend promises a whirlwind of emotions for fans of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.” As Season 2 draws to an end with its eighth episode on Prime Video, fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating how the various tangled storylines will unfold.
Recap: What’s led us here?
To ensure you’re caught up, let’s do a quick recap. The season, painted with romantic hues and intense drama, saw a range of events — a complicated love triangle involving Belly and the Fisher brothers, a threatened sale of the cherished beach house, and the heart-wrenching departure of Susannah. Just when we thought things were settling down in Episode 7, the intricate relationship dynamics between Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad took yet another twist, leaving viewers gasping for answers.
Belly, portrayed by the talented Lola Tung, and Jeremiah, played by Gavin Casalegno, decided to pay a visit to Finch, a college on their prospective list, while Conrad, enacted by Christopher Briney, was busy with his final exams at Brown. A montage of moments showcased the growing bond between Belly and Jeremiah, hinting at a budding romance. Their return to fetch Conrad culminated in an emotional confession of love, sealed with a passionate kiss. The twist? Conrad was the unintended audience of this intimate moment.
Episode 8 Sneak Peek: Conrad’s Perspective
The glimpse from Episode 8 offers an alternative lens – Conrad’s viewpoint. Post his exams, a hopeful Conrad, eyeing Stanford, chats with Steven, played by Sean Kaufman. Their conversation gradually steers towards Belly, and despite Steven’s initial reservations about the idea of Conrad and Belly as a couple, he stands as a pillar of support. Conrad’s aspirations to reignite his relationship with Belly come crashing down, however, when he stumbles upon the unexpected sight of Belly and Jeremiah’s romantic encounter.
A Look Back at Episode 7 Highlights
If the show follows the narrative tracks of Jenny Han’s “It’s Not Summer Without You,” fans can expect Belly to finally resolve her romantic dilemma. While Jeremiah has made a significant mark on her heart lately, her affections for Conrad are deep-rooted and undeniable. Apart from the love-stricken trio, other characters like Steven, Taylor (Rain Spencer), Skye (Elsie Fisher), and Laurel (Jackie Chung) played crucial roles. Their collective efforts managed to prevent Julia, portrayed by Kyra Sedgwick, from selling the beach house, ensuring it remains with the Fisher lineage. The looming third season indicates a slew of resolutions awaiting fans.
