00:00What if love could break not only hearts but also families beyond repair?
00:04Season 3 episode 9 of The Summer I Turned Pretty forces us to face this brutal reality.
00:09We've watched messy breakups, painful confessions, and impossible choices,
00:13but nothing compares to the storm this episode.
00:16Delivers.
00:16It's not just about belly anymore, it's about loyalty, betrayal,
00:20and the irreversible cracks between the people.
00:22Who once wore to never let anything come between them, and yet, here we are.
00:26Watching the impossible unfold, let's dive straight.
00:29Into it because season 3 episode 9 doesn't waste a second,
00:33before pulling us into the aftermath of Jeremiah calling off the wedding.
00:36The air is heavy, suffocating almost.
00:39As if every character knows there's no way to undo the damage that's been done.
00:43For the first time in this series, Jeremiah looks like someone who has nothing left to fight for,
00:47he's not angry anymore.
00:49Not even jealous he's simply broken, and that, in my opinion, is far worse.
00:53Because anger gives you energy, but heartbreak takes everything away from you.
00:57And Jeremiah is walking proof of that dot now here's the part that shocked me the most belly.
01:02Doesn't immediately crumble.
01:04You would think that after her fiancé broke off their engagement, she'd fall apart in guilt.
01:08In shame, in regret, but instead, she's almost numb.
01:11As if she hasn't fully processed what just happened, she keeps moving, she keeps breathing.
01:16But her eyes are elsewhere, and we all know where.
01:19That's right, Conrad.
01:20No matter how many times she swore her loyalty to Jeremiah.
01:23No matter how loudly she insisted she wanted a future with him.
01:27The truth is written all over her face.
01:29Belly's heart has always belonged to Conrad, and Jeremiah was right to fear it.
01:33But this realization doesn't make anything easier, in fact.
01:37It makes everything a thousand times worse, because now,
01:40Conrad is carrying the weight of knowing his
01:42brother is destroyed while he himself still burns with love for the one girl who caused it all.
01:46Watching him in this episode feels like watching someone punished for a crime.
01:51He didn't fully commit.
01:52Yes, he confessed his feelings at the worst possible moment.
01:55Yes, he reignited a fire that should have been left alone.
01:59But was he wrong for speaking the truth?
02:01Can we really fault him for finally letting his heart out after years of silence?
02:05These are the questions episode 9 forces us to ask, and let me tell you.
02:09The tension in this episode is suffocating.
02:11Every glance, every silence,
02:13Every word unspoken between Conrad and Jeremiah cuts deeper than anything Belly could ever say.
02:18Because at the end of the day, this isn't just a love triangle anymore.
02:22This is a tragedy of two brothers whose bond
02:24has been ripped apart by a girl who couldn't choose until it was too late.
02:28Belly may be the center of the storm,
02:30but the real destruction is happening between Conrad and Jeremiah,
02:33and once that bond is shattered,
02:35can it ever truly be repaired?
02:37Personally, I doubt it.
02:38Now, episode 9 doesn't let us escape the awkwardness.
02:41Of the aftermath, the families are walking on eggshells,
02:44the friends don't know where to stand.
02:46And Stephen bless him once again tries to be the voice of reason,
02:49he calls Belly out.
02:51He calls Conrad out, and he refuses to sugarcoat the reality.
02:54And honestly, I respect him for it.
02:57Because someone needs to speak the truth when everyone else is drowning in denial.
03:01Stephen's role in this episode is like a mirror,
03:03showing each of them the ugly side of their choices.
03:06And believe me, they don't like what they see.
03:08But what makes this episode hit the hardest isn't the shouting,
03:11the crying, or even the heartbreak.
03:13It's the silence.
03:14It's that moment when Jeremiah doesn't show up,
03:16when Conrad avoids eye contact.
03:18When Belly finally sits alone and realizes she can't keep running
03:21from the consequences of her choices.
03:24For once, the girl who felt love would fix everything learns that sometimes,
03:28love destroys more than it heals.
03:30And this realization is only the beginning of the storm that will follow in the next.
03:34Sections of this story dot the thing about Jeremiah,
03:36is that he's always been the easy one, the son to Conrad's storm,
03:40the comfort to his brother's chaos.
03:42But when you push someone like that to far,
03:44when you take their loyalty for granted,
03:46the explosion is far more dangerous than you expect.
03:49And that's exactly what we see here.
03:51Jeremiah finally says,
03:52what's been haunting him all along,
03:54that Belly never really chose him.
03:56Not truly, not with her whole heart,
03:58she chose the idea of him.
03:59The stability, the warmth, but her soul, her.
04:02Soul has always belonged to Conrad,
04:04and Jeremiah refuses to live in Conrad's shadow any longer.
04:08This confrontation is brutal because it's not just about Belly.
04:11It's about years of unspoken rivalry between the brothers.
04:15Jeremiah doesn't only accuse Belly of betrayal.
04:17He accuses Conrad of stealing everything that should have been his,
04:20the spotlight, the affection,
04:22even their mother's softer side,
04:24and now, the woman he wanted to marry, for the first time.
04:27Jeremiah doesn't just look like a heartbroken fiancé.
04:30He looks like a man finally admitting he's been second place his entire life.
04:34And the weight of that realization is almost too heavy to watch.
04:37And here's where things get even darker,
04:39Conrad doesn't fight back the way you expect him to.
04:42He doesn't yell, he doesn't defend himself with pride,
04:45instead, he stands there,
04:46almost absorbing Jeremiah's rage like he believes he deserves it.
04:50And honestly, that silence hurts more than any counter-argument could,
04:53because deep down,
04:55Conrad knows Jeremiah is right,
04:57maybe not about everything, but about enough.
04:59He knows his timing was selfish,
05:01he knows he disrupted Jeremiah's chance.
05:03At happiness, he knows that the girl they both love is standing between them,
05:07and that no matter what happens next,
05:09the damage is irreversible.
05:11Meanwhile, Belly is left in the middle,
05:13watching the people she claims to love destroy each other because of her.
05:17And instead of stepping in, instead of taking responsibility,
05:20she hesitates, that hesitation,
05:22in my opinion, is what makes her actions so frustrating in this episode.
05:26Because silence can sometimes be louder than words,
05:29and Belly's silence screams.
05:31Of guilt, of cowardice, of fear,
05:33she doesn't want to lose Jeremiah,
05:34she doesn't want to lose Conrad.
05:36But by refusing to choose fully and honestly,
05:39she's losing both and worse.
05:40She's destroying the bond between them in the process.
05:43What makes episode 9 so powerful is that it doesn't give us easy answers,
05:47it doesn't tell us who's.
05:48Right, who's wrong,
05:50or who deserves forgiveness,
05:51instead, it forces us to sit in the discomfort of it all.
05:55To ask ourselves whether love is worth this level of destruction.
05:58To question whether Belly is really the heroine of this story,
06:01or the villain who ruined two lives at once.
06:03And that's a question I can't stop asking myself.
06:06Because if this were any other story,
06:08Belly would be painted as the victim, the girl.
06:11Torn between two brothers,
06:12unlucky in love,
06:13but here, watching these scenes,
06:15I can't help but feel she's the one holding the knife,
06:17even if she doesn't realize it,
06:19and yet, the episode doesn't let her escape either,
06:22we see cracks forming.
06:23In her carefully built walls, for the first time,
06:26she looks like she's beginning to understand the magnitude of what she's done.
06:30She looks at Jeremiah, broken beyond repair,
06:32she looks at Conrad,
06:34silently drowning in guilt and love,
06:35and then she looks at herself and for once.
06:38She doesn't like what she sees,
06:39it's subtle, but it's there,
06:41the moment Belly realizes.
06:42She is not the girl who brings happiness,
06:45but the storm that leaves destruction behind.
06:47And let me tell you, that realization changes everything.
06:50Because from here on,
06:51episode 9 is no longer about who Belly loves.
06:54It's about whether she can live with herself after everything that's happened,
06:57and personally.
06:58I don't think she can,
06:59not without facing the truth head on,
07:01and not without,
07:02finally making the choice she's been avoiding since season 1.
07:06But here's the kicker,
07:06the choice isn't just about Conrad or Jeremiah anymore.
07:10It's about whether Belly will keep running from responsibility,
07:12or finally stand up and admit,
07:14her part in this chaos.
07:16And trust me,
07:17the way episode 9 sets this up makes it clear,
07:19her decision will shape not only her future,
07:22but also the fate of the brothers forever,
07:24if episode 9 has taught us anything so far.
07:26It's that the fallout of broken promises doesn't.
07:29End with words,
07:30the real damage shows up in the quiet moments,
07:32the looks,
07:33the distance.
07:34The way people avoid each other,
07:35because facing the truth is simply too painful.
07:38And in this episode,
07:39those quiet moments cut sharper than any shouting ever.
07:42Could Belly,
07:43for all her stubbornness,
07:44finally begins to feel the weight of what's happened.
07:47She wanted to believe love could save her,
07:49but instead,
07:50she's realizing love has turned her into someone she doesn't even recognize.
07:54She thought marrying Jeremiah would prove her loyalty,
07:57her maturity,
07:58her independence,
07:59but now,
07:59stripped,
08:00of that illusion.
08:01She has to confront the reality,
08:03she wasn't choosing Jeremiah because he was her forever.
08:06She was choosing him because she was afraid of what Conrad made her feel.
08:09And that kind of love the kind that scares you.
08:12Because it's to re-lizent something you can bury under a wedding ring.
08:15But let's not pretend Belly is the only one struggling,
08:18Conrad,
08:18for once.
08:19Doesn't look like the calm and collected.
08:22Figure we've known him to be,
08:23he's unraveling,
08:24you can see it in his eyes.
08:25In the way his voice shakes when he finally dares to speak.
08:28He loves Belly,
08:29there's no doubt about it,
08:30but he hates himself for how things turned out.
08:33And here's the heartbreaking part Conrad doesn't fight for her,
08:36not this time,
08:37because deep down,
08:38he knows the cost,
08:39he knows every step closer.
08:41To Belly means another step further from Jeremiah,
08:43and as much as he wants her.
08:45The guilt of destroying his brother is eating him alive.
08:48Meanwhile,
08:49Jeremiah is caught in a nightmare he can't wake up from.
08:52It's not just the loss of Belly,
08:53it's the humiliation,
08:54the betrayal,
08:55the public unraveling of a love he believed in,
08:57and the worst part,
08:58he saw it coming,
08:59that's what,
09:00makes his pain almost unbearable to watch.
09:03Because Jeremiah isn't just grieving the end of his engagement,
09:06he's grieving the years he spent convincing himself he could be enough.
09:09Enough for Belly,
09:10enough to compete with Conrad,
09:12enough to rewrite a story that was never truly his.
09:15And in episode 9,
09:16we see him finally admit,
09:18whether out loud or through tears,
09:19that deep down,
09:20he always knew he was fighting a losing battle now.
09:23Let's talk about Steven again because once more,
09:26he proves himself to be the unsung hero of this mess.
09:29While everyone else is drowning in emotions,
09:32Steven is the one reminding them that this isn't just about romance,
09:35this is about family,
09:37friendship,
09:37and the kind of scars that last a lifetime.
09:40He calls Conrad selfish,
09:41he calls Belly reckless,
09:43and he doesn't spare Jeremiah either,
09:45he makes it clear that none of them are innocent.
09:47And honestly,
09:48he's right,
09:49this isn't a story with one villain and one victim.
09:52It's a story where every single choice made things worse.
09:55And Steven forces all of them to finally see that.
09:57But the most chilling part of episode 9 comes when the camera,
10:00or should I say?
10:02The story lingers on the brothers alone,
10:04Conrad and Jeremiah,
10:05once inseparable,
10:06now look like strangers.
10:08Their silence is heavier than any words.
10:10It's the silence of people who know their relationship will never be the same.
10:14And no matter how much Belly or anyone else tries to fix it,
10:17the damage is already carved deep into their hearts.
10:20That scene,
10:21Jeremiah looking at Conrad like he's both his brother and his enemy,
10:24is the kind of heartbreak you don't just move on from.
10:27It's permanent.
10:28And here's where I have to be brutally honest,
10:30Belly's presence in that silence makes it worse.
10:33Because she isn't just the cause,
10:34she's also the reminder.
10:36Every time Jeremiah looks at her,
10:38he sees Conrad.
10:39Every time Conrad looks at her,
10:40he sees Jeremiah's pain.
10:42Belly has become the living embodiment of their broken bond,
10:45and whether she stays or leaves,
10:47that wound will stay open.
10:48And that realization is what makes episode 9 feel less like a love story
10:52and more like a tragedy.
10:54But even in the middle of this heartbreak,
10:56there's a glimpse of what's coming.
10:58Because Belly begins to understand something she's been blind to all season,
11:01that love,
11:02without honesty,
11:03will always fail.
11:04That's why her engagement collapsed.
11:06That's why Jeremiah
11:07is shattered.
11:08That's why Conrad is drowning in guilt.
11:10And the only way forward,
11:11the only way to stop repeating this endless cycle of pain,
11:14is for her to finally face the truth.
11:16No more half choices.
11:18No more silence.
11:19No more pretending she can love to brothers
11:21without destroying both dot by the end.
11:23Of this section,
11:25episode 9 makes one thing crystal clear.
11:27The story is no longer about Belly chasing happiness.
11:30It's about whether she has the courage to face the storm she created.
11:34And whether Conrad and Jeremiah can ever forgive her or
11:37each other for what has been lost.
11:39Episode 9 doesn't just leave Belly to sit in the ruins.
11:41It drags her deeper into the fire.
11:44Because while the brothers are torn apart,
11:46she's the one who has to face the echoes of every decision she's made.
11:49And the truth is,
11:50there's no escaping it anymore,
11:52not in cousins.
11:53Not in a wedding that never happened,
11:55not even in Paris.
11:56Everywhere she goes,
11:57the consequences follow.
11:59And this episode makes it painfully clear that Belly's reckoning has finally arrived.
12:03The turning point comes when Belly is forced to confront her own reflection.
12:07Not literally,
12:08but in the way the people around her start speaking the truth she's been avoiding.
12:12Steven tells her outright that she's not just a girl caught between to love she's the girl.
12:16Who burned both down,
12:17Laurel,
12:18her mother,
12:18adds.
12:19Saul to the wound by reminding her that growing up doesn't mean chasing romance at any cost.
12:24It means being responsible for the fallout of your actions and hearing that from her mother.
12:29The one person who has always tried to protect her cuts.
12:32Belly to her core.
12:33But the hardest truth of all comes from within.
12:35For the first time, Belly begins to admit to herself that she was never truly ready for marriage.
12:40She was using Jeremiah as an anchor, a way to prove she could commit.
12:44A way to run from the chaos Conrad stirred in her heart and admitting this.
12:48Doesn't free her it shatters her because if Jeremiah was never truly her choice,
12:52then what was all of this for?
12:54Why put two brothers through hell just to end up back at the same place?
12:57She's always been standing in the middle, unable to move forward.
13:00Meanwhile, Jeremiah isn't healing, he's withdrawing, his anger has burned out,
13:05leaving only exhaustion and bitterness.
13:07And if you thought watching him rage was painful,
13:09watching him go quiet is even worse because silence means he's done fighting.
13:14Silence means he's given up.
13:15And when Jeremiah gives up,
13:17it doesn't just feel like the end of a relationship,
13:19it feels like the end of who he was.
13:21The boy full of light, laughter, and warmth has been dimmed.
13:24And it's Belly who blew out the flame, Conrad, on the other.
13:27Hand is torn into directions, part of him wants to comfort Belly.
13:31To be the shoulder she's always leaned on,
13:33to finally step into the role he's avoided for so long.
13:36But another part of him knows that being with her right now would be the
13:39ultimate betrayal.
13:41Jeremiah may not be his closest ally anymore, but he's still his brother.
13:45And Conrad is haunted by the thought of stealing from him again.
13:48This conflict plays across every scene he's in.
13:51The longing in his eyes, the guilt in his silence,
13:53the way he pulls back just when you think he'll
13:55step closer.
13:56It's the kind of emotional torture that makes you wonder whether getting the girl
14:01is worth losing yourself in the process.
14:03But here's what makes episode 9 unforgettable, it doesn't let any of them
14:07hide behind illusions anymore, Belly can't.
14:10Pretend Jeremiah was her forever,
14:12Jeremiah can't pretend Belly chose him fully.
14:14Conrad can't pretend his love isn't destroying everything it touches.
14:18The masks are gone, the truth is bare, and the fallout is catastrophic.
14:22This isn't about a love triangle anymore,
14:24it's about whether any of them can walk away from this.
14:27Without permanent scars, and just when you think things can't get more painful.
14:31Episode 9 gives us that devastating flash of what once was.
14:35A memory of Conrad and Jeremiah together, side by side, back when their bond was unshakable.
14:40That glimpse into the past is like a knife twist, reminding us of everything that's been lost.
14:45Because no matter what happens with Belly, no matter, who ends up with her, that brotherhood is gone,
14:50and in my opinion, that's the true tragedy of this story, not Belly's indecision, not Jeremiah's heartbreak,
14:56not even Conrad's guilt.
14:58The real tragedy is that love something meant to bring people closer has torn a family apart.
15:03By the end of this section, Belly's path forward begins to take shape.
15:06She knows she can't stay here.
15:08She knows she can't fix what she's broken by simply apologizing or choosing one of them.
15:12So she makes the only choice left, to leave, to take herself out of the equation, to run.
15:18Not out of cowardice this time, but because she finally understands that space is the only way forward.
15:23And this sets the stage for Paris the one place.
15:26She believes she can breathe without the weight of Conrad and Jeremiah crushing her.
15:30But don't mistake this decision for strength just yet.
15:33Because running away may give Belly distance, but it won't erase the damage, it won't heal Jeremiah.
15:38It won't erase Conrad's guilt.
15:40And it certainly won't fix the shattered bond between brothers.
15:43Paris may offer her a new chapter, but the ghosts of episode 9 are coming with her.
15:48And that's where the suspense lies because we all know Conrad won't let her disappear so easily.
15:53And so, we arrive at the end of episode 9 The Wreckage, The Silence, and The Choice That Changes.
15:58Everything.
15:59Belly, once the girl who believed in fairy tales, now finds herself standing alone.
16:04Stripped of the illusion that love could fix the fractures in her world, Jeremiah is gone.
16:08Conrad is distant, and the family she once leaned on feels more like strangers than home.
16:14If you thought the season couldn't break her more than it already has, episode 9 proves otherwise.
16:19Because sometimes the harshest punishment isn't losing someone you love it's realizing you've destroyed the very thing.
16:25You swore you'd protect.
16:26The wedding that never happened becomes a symbol for everything Belly lost, Jeremiah's.
16:31Trust, Conrad's respect, Stephen's patience, and even her own sense of innocence.
16:35She wanted to be a woman grown, making choices that would prove her maturity.
16:40But what did those choices really prove?
16:42That she could run headfirst into promises.
16:44She wasn't ready to keep.
16:46That she could hurt the people she loved most without even realizing the depth of the wound.
16:51That she could be both the heroine and the villain of her own story, and the most painful part?
16:55She has to live with that truth.
16:57Meanwhile, Jeremiah's decision to call it off lingers like an echo through every scene.
17:01He was the one with the courage to say no.
17:04The one to break free from a love that was never fully his.
17:07And while that choice left him shattered, it also gave him power the power to walk away.
17:12The power to refuse being second best, watching him drive off, his shoulders heavy with betrayal,
17:17is perhaps the hardest scene of the entire season because
17:20Jeremiah's heartbreak isn't just about Belly, it's about years of loving deeply.
17:24Only to realize the one thing he wanted most was never really his to begin with.
17:28Conrad, on the other hand, remains the storm we can't look away from.
17:32His presence in episode 9 is a haunting mix of guilt and longing, he doesn't fight for Belly.
17:37But he doesn't let her go either, he hovers in that dangerous in-between,
17:41where love exists but timing makes it unbearable.
17:44And here's what makes it tragic Conrad's silence isn't weakness, it's restraint.
17:48It's love twisted into something heavy, something that costs him more than he'll ever admit.
17:52Because in Conrad's heart, Belly is the only one, but in his conscience.
17:56Jeremiah is the brother he can't destroy a second time, and that war,
18:00inside him leaves him paralyzed, unable to step forward, unable to step back.
18:04And then there's Belly's final move the decision to leave for Paris, on the surface.
18:09It feels like an escape.
18:10But if you look closer, it's more than that, it's her first step toward accountability.
18:15She finally understands that she can't heal anyone else until she learns to live with herself.
18:19Paris isn't just about chasing a dream, it's about,
18:22stripping away the noise, the chaos, and the triangle that has defined her for years.
18:27It's about facing herself without the distraction of Conrad's gaze or Jeremiah's devotion.
18:31It's about asking the hardest question of all, who is Belly?
18:35When there's no one left to choose between, but episode 9 doesn't let us end with peace, no.
18:40It leaves us with that gut punch of a moment Belly seeing Conrad at the airport.
18:44One look and everything we thought she was running from crashes right back into her life.
18:48Because here's the truth, no matter where Belly goes, Conrad will always find her.
18:53Not because he's chasing her blindly, but because their connection
18:55is the kind that survives distance, silence, and even heartbreak.
19:00That look between them says everything they are unfinished, they are inevitable.
19:03And they are about to face each other in a way they never have before.
19:07And that's where the suspense leaves us hanging, will Paris give them the clean slate they
19:11so desperately need, or will it prove that some scars run too deep to ever heal?
19:15Will Belly finally choose honesty over comfort?
19:17Or will she repeat the same mistakes all over again, dragging Conrad down with her?
19:22And most importantly, can Jeremiah ever forgive either of them?
19:26Or has episode 9 marked the permanent end of brotherhood as we know it?
19:29These questions are what?
19:30Make the wait for the finale unbearable because for the first time,
19:34it feels like no matter what happens, someone is going to walk away broken.
19:38The summer I turned pretty has always been about love,
19:41but episode 9 reminds us that love is never, just between two people.
19:44It's tied to families, friendships, and the pieces of ourselves we're willing to sacrifice.
19:49And this time, the sacrifice feels bigger than ever.
19:52Belly wanted to be in love.
19:54Now she has to live what the wreckage love leaves behind.
19:56So, what?
19:57Do you think, was Jeremiah right to walk away?
20:00Was Conrad wrong to stay silent?
20:02And is Belly the victim of impossible circumstances,
20:05or the architect of her own downfall?
20:06I want to hear your thoughts because episode 9 has left me questioning everything.
