00:00The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 9 just flipped everything upside down, I mean.
00:05If you thought Episode 8 was chaotic, Episode 9 takes the drama to a whole new level, Belly.
00:10Conrad.
00:11Jeremiah this isn't just a love triangle anymore, this is a full-blown disaster waiting to explode.
00:17And honestly, I don't know whether to root for the love story or scream at the way everything keeps falling apart.
00:23Episode 9 kicks off with Belly trying to settle into Paris.
00:26Her so-called dream escape, but let's be real nothing about Belly.
00:30Ever stays peaceful, she may be thousands of miles away from Cousins Beach.
00:34But the baggage she left behind followed her straight across the ocean.
00:38And the moment she sees Conrad again, boom.
00:40All that drama we thought she was running from is standing right in front of her, now.
00:45Let's pause here for a second.
00:47Because that look on Belly's face when she spots Conrad it wasn't shock, it wasn't relief.
00:51It was that dangerous kind of recognition, the one that says no matter what she says out loud.
00:56Her heart already made the choice, and the choice is Conrad.
00:59And that right there makes Jeremiah's heartbreak from episode 8 feel 10 times worse.
01:04Think about it, the guy just walked away from marrying the love of his life.
01:08He had to look Belly in the eyes and realize she would never truly love him.
01:11The way she loves his brother.
01:13And while Jeremiah's probably back home crushed, Belly's standing in Paris staring at Conrad like
01:18he's her whole world, it's brutal like, imagine being Jeremiah in this situation your brother
01:23gets the girl again and you're left, picking up the pieces of a future that never even had
01:27a chance, for me.
01:29This is where the show really dives into that painful truth, love can be beautiful.
01:33But it can also destroy everything in its path, now, Belly and Conrad finally have the space
01:39to talk without the noise of family or Jeremiah in the middle, and trust me, the air between
01:43them is thick with everything unsaid.
01:45Conrad lays it all out how long he's loved her, how much it's been tearing him apart to
01:50watch her with his brother, and how no matter what he does.
01:53He can't shut off his feelings for her, Belly, though, tries to stand her ground, she says she
01:58needs time, that she needs to figure herself out, but you can see it her words don't match
02:02her eyes, because her heart is already leaning toward Conrad, even if her mind is still screaming
02:08at her to slow down, here's where I start, to get frustrated because Belly keeps playing
02:12the card of confusion, acting like she never meant to hurt anyone, and sure, maybe she didn't
02:17plan this mess, but she also never stopped it, she let Jeremiah believe in a future that
02:22her heart was never fully invested in, and now, instead of owning it, she acts like the
02:27victim of her own choices, sorry, Belly, but you can't have it both ways, you don't get
02:32to walk into Para's heartbroken and then light up the moment Conrad shows up, that's not
02:36confusion that's denial, and Conrad, for once, he's trying to do the right thing, he admits
02:41his mistakes, he owns up to pushing Belly away too many times, and he swears he's not
02:46that same cold, selfish guy anymore, but apologies can't erase the wreckage, because no matter how
02:51sweet his words are, the truth is Jeremiah, lost everything because of this connection, and
02:56the worst part, it almost feels like Belly and Conrad are too caught up in their chemistry,
03:01to even notice the damage they've left behind, still, as much as I want to be mad, I can't
03:06deny the spark between them, the show makes sure we feel every second of that tension the
03:10way Conrad looks at her, the way Belly softens around him, it's messy, it's wrong, but it's
03:15also magnetic, and that's what keeps pulling us back, no matter how guilty it feels, love
03:20like theirs doesn't fade just because it's inconvenient, if anything, the mess makes it burn even
03:25hotter, and, episode 9 leans all the way into that dot by the end of this first part, we're
03:30left with the same question we've been asking since the beginning, what choice will Belly
03:34finally make, because she can't keep straddling the line, she's standing in Paris with Conrad,
03:40but Jeremiah's shadow still lingers over everything, and the longer she drags this out, the more
03:45painful it's going to be for all of them, episode 9 makes one thing clear this story is, nowhere
03:50near a happy ending, if anything, the storm is just getting started, the summer I turned pretty
03:55season 3 episode 9 doesn't just stop at that Paris reunion, between Belly and Conrad
04:00Dick keeps twisting the knife deeper, showing us how fragile everything really is, because
04:04here's the thing, Belly can say all she wants about needing space, and wanting time for herself,
04:09but the second Conrad is near, all that talk crumbles, and that's what makes this episode
04:14so dangerous, we're watching her torn between the girl she wants to become and the girl, who
04:19has always been defined by Conrad Fisher dot Paris was supposed to be Belly's escape, her
04:24clean slate, the one place where she could step outside of all the drama, breathe for
04:28a second, and figure out who she is without the Fisher brothers hanging over her every move,
04:33but episode 9 makes it clear Belly doesn't know how to exist without them, she tries, but
04:38when Conrad shows up, it's like gravity, no matter how far she runs, he pulls her back
04:43in, and while a part of me understands that kind of love, another, part of me is screaming
04:47girl, you are about to ruin everything all over again, because let's not forget Jeremiah is
04:52still out there, trying to pick up the pieces of his heart, and you know what really gets
04:56me, Belly doesn't spend nearly enough time thinking about what she put him through, she's
05:01so wrapped, up in, her own feelings, and this Paris moment with Conrad that Jeremiah feels
05:06like an afterthought, and that's cruel, because Jeremiah wasn't just a fling he was someone
05:11who was ready to spend his entire life with, her he loved her with a kind, of openness that
05:16Conrad never gave her, and yet here she is, a week after breaking off their engagement,
05:20letting her heart leap right back to Conrad like nothing ever happened, it's messy, it's
05:25reckless, and it's exactly why so many people are frustrated with Belly right now, but episode
05:309 does something clever, it doesn't just give us Conrad and Belly's tension, it also makes
05:35us question whether this relationship is even built to last, because yes, the chemistry is
05:40undeniable, but so is the baggage, every glance, every word, every silence between them carries
05:45the weight of everything that came before, the lies, the missed chances, the way Conrad always
05:50pushed her away until it was too late, Belly may want to believe this time is different, but can it
05:55really be, can they actually build something healthy when the foundation is cracked with
05:59Jeremiah's, heartbreak, that's the question this episode plants in our minds, and speaking of cracks,
06:05Conrad himself is walking one big tightrope, for the first time, he's admitting to Belly how much
06:10he regrets his choices, he talks about how he let his fear and pride ruin what they could
06:14have had, and for a second, you almost believe him, you almost want to forgive him, but then
06:19you, remember this isn't just about him and Belly anymore, this is about Jeremiah too, and
06:24no matter how genuine Conrad sounds, the timing is brutal, because Jeremiah literally just had
06:30to step aside, he literally just let go of Belly, and here's Conrad swooping in to pick
06:35her up, whether Conrad admits it or not, it feels like betrayal, and that's the part that
06:39makes this love story so complicated, because even if Belly and Conrad do end up together,
06:44it'll never be pure, there will always be Jeremiah's pain haunting, them like a ghost,
06:49now, let's talk about Belly's parents for a second, because episode 9 really highlights
06:54how absent they feel in all of this, where are the adults, where's the accountability,
06:59these are two young people who just went through a broken engagement and a near marriage disaster,
07:03and instead of anyone stepping in to say, hey, maybe you should slow down, they're left to
07:08figure it out on their own, and Belly's mom, especially, should know better, she knows her
07:12daughter isn't ready for this level of commitment, but instead of guiding her, she just lets Belly
07:17crash into one heartbreak after another, and honestly, that's not love that's negligence,
07:22meanwhile, Paris itself becomes this strange backdrop for all of Belly's contradictions,
07:27she walks around pretending she's embracing independence, but every meaningful moment we see
07:31is tied to Conrad, it's like the city is supposed to represent her freedom, but instead it turns
07:36into a stage for her and Conrad's unresolved feelings, and that's why this episode feels
07:41so heavy, because instead of watching Belly grow, we're watching her circle back into the same
07:46patterns, the same choices, the same mess, and here's the kicker Conrad doesn't even fight it,
07:51he doesn't say, you need time, I'll step back, he lets the moment happen, because deep down,
07:56he knows this is what he's always wanted, he knows that if Belly lets him in, even just a little,
08:01he'll never be able to let her go again, and that's what makes Conrad so dangerous in this
08:06episode, he's not the cold, distant guy anymore, he's open, vulnerable, and willing, and that's
08:12exactly what makes it impossible for Belly to walk away, by the end of section 2, we're left with
08:17Belly standing in this emotional tug of war, on one side, there's the dream of independence she came
08:22to Paris for, on the other, there's Conrad, the boy who has always been the center of her heart,
08:27no matter how much damage it caused, and hovering over all of it is Jeremiah the reminder of what
08:32she destroyed to even be standing here, episode 9 makes it clear, no matter what choice Belly makes
08:37next, someone is going to get crushed, and that's the kind of suspense that keeps you excluded,
08:43even when it breaks our hearts, the summer I turned pretty season 3 episode 9 digs even deeper into the
08:49messy fallout, of Belly's choices, and honestly, this section hit me the hardest, because this isn't
08:54just about love anymore, this is about the cracks, forming in the Fisher brothers' bond, cracks so
08:59wide that I don't think they'll ever fully heal, and let's be real, that's the real tragedy here,
09:04Belly might be the center of all this drama, but the collateral damage is Jeremiah and Conrad's
09:09relationship, and episode 9 makes it painfully obvious.think about it, these two brothers grew
09:15up together, side by side, sharing everything, their house, their childhood, their grief after their
09:20mom passed, and now, they can't even look at each other without seeing betrayal, Conrad is trying
09:25to move forward with Belly, while Jeremiah is left behind to pick up the shattered pieces of his
09:30heart, and the worst part is, it doesn't even feel like Belly is fully aware of how deep this wound
09:36goes, she might cry, she might say she feels bad, but episode 9 makes it clear she's still choosing
09:42Conrad, and every time she does, it pushes, Jeremiah further away from his brother, now, let's break down
09:48the Jeremiah side of things, because episode 9 doesn't forget about him, he may not be in Paris,
09:53but his presence is everywhere, we see flashbacks of him and Belly, reminders of what they almost had,
09:59and those moments are brutal because they show us how real Jeremiah's love was, he wasn't,
10:03pretending he wasn't, hiding behind pride, he was all in, and for Belly to walk away from that so
10:09quickly it stings, you can almost feel Jeremiah's heartbreak bleeding through the screen, even when he's
10:15not in the same room, and here's the thing that scares, me, heartbreak like that doesn't just disappear,
10:20it changes you, and I'm starting to think Jeremiah isn't going to stay the sweet, hopeful guy we've
10:25always known, this pain is going to harden him, it's going to twist him, and when that happens,
10:30the fallout could be explosive.meanwhile, Belly and Conrad are stuck in this strange limbo,
10:35they're not officially together, but they're not apart either, and that gray area is dangerous,
10:39because it lets them pretend they're not making choices while still acting like they belong to
10:44each other. Conrad confesses more in this episode than he ever has before, he admits he was terrified
10:50of losing her, admits he pushed her away because he thought it would protect her, and admits he's
10:55been wrong over and over again, and for the first time, Belly hears him, she doesn't shut him down,
11:00she doesn't. Tell him to stop, she listens, and that's when it hits me, Belly's already made her
11:05choice, even if she hasn't said it out loud dot, but here's the problem what happens when Jeremiah
11:10finds out, because you know he will, secrets never stay buried in this show, and the thought of
11:16Jeremiah realizing that his brother and his expiancy are reconnecting so soon after the
11:20wedding was called off, that's the kind of betrayal you don't come back from, family is supposed to be
11:26forever, brothers are supposed to have each other's backs, no matter what, and Belly's love story,
11:31no matter how romantic it looks on the surface. It's destroying that bond right in front of our
11:36eyes, and let's not forget Steven, because once again, he's the only voice of reason here,
11:41Steven called Conrad out in episode 8, and now in episode 9, his words echo louder than ever.
11:47He told Conrad he was being selfish, and as much as Conrad is trying to change,
11:52the truth is still there, Conrad wants Belly, and he's willing to risk his brother's trust to
11:56have her, that's selfish, no matter how many times he apologizes, and Belly, she's complicit,
12:02by letting Conrad back into her life so quickly. She's not just choosing him,
12:06she's choosing to let Jeremiah carry all the pain by himself, episode 9. Also forces us to think about
12:12what love really means in this story. Is it about passion, the kind that makes you weak in the knees
12:17and unable to stay away? Or is it about loyalty, the kind that means standing by someone even when
12:22things get hard? Because Belly seems to think she can have both, but episode 9 proves. She can't,
12:28if she chooses passion, she gets Conrad but she loses Jeremiah, if she chooses loyalty.
12:33She gets Jeremiah but she denies the part of her that will never stop longing for Conrad.
12:37It's a lose-lose situation, and the weight of that choice is written all over this episode.
12:42By the end of section 3, the tension is unbearable, Belly and Conrad are circling each other,
12:47both of them knowing what they want but to scare to fully. Claim it,
12:50Jeremiah is out there, broken, maybe even plotting how to protect himself next time.
12:55And Stephen is standing on the sidelines, trying to hold together a family that's already falling
13:00apart. Episode 9 doesn't give us answers it gives us heartbreak, frustration, and the terrifying
13:06realization that no matter what Belly does next, the Fisher brothers will never be the same again.
13:11The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 9 refuses to slow down and by this point,
13:16you can feel the weight of every single choice pressing down on Belly.
13:20This is where the episode makes it crystal clear Belly can't keep running from her feelings,
13:25and she can't keep hiding behind excuses. The love triangle is no longer just a who-will-she-choose
13:30story. It's now about the consequences of those choices, and the ripple effect is hitting everyone
13:35hard. What struck me most in this part is the way Belly tries to convince herself that she's being fair,
13:41she keeps saying she needs time to think and space to breathe. But come on, her actions speak louder
13:45than her words, she's spending that time with Conrad. She's sharing those looks, those unspoken feelings,
13:52those little moments that scream intimacy even without a single kiss. And that's where I start to lose
13:57patience with her. Because it feels like she wants the comfort of Conrad while pretending she's still
14:02undecided. That's not space, that's denial, and the longer she does it, the more damage she causes, and,
14:08then there's Conrad, who finally seems ready to fight for what he wants. Let's be real. This is
14:13the version of Conrad fans have been begging for since season 1 the one who isn't shutting down or
14:18hiding behind sarcasm. Episode 9 shows us a Conrad who's willing to bear it all, even if it means
14:24exposing how broken. He's been without Belly, he admits he's been selfish, he admits he hurt her,
14:29and he admits he's scared of losing her forever. And yes, it's emotional, it's raw, and it's the kind of
14:35confession we've been waiting years for. But here's the issue his timing couldn't be worse,
14:39because as much as we want to root for him, it's impossible to forget the trail of heartbreak
14:43leading here. Jeremiah's pain, Belly's confusion, even Stephen's frustration at all points back to
14:49the fact that Conrad waited too long. And now his big moment feels like it comes at too high a cost.
14:54Episode 9 also takes time to show us how alone Jeremiah really is, even though most of the action
15:00happens in Paris. Jeremiah's absence feels louder than any scene he could have been in.
15:05And that's intentional because while Belly and Conrad are getting their bittersweet reunion,
15:09Jeremiah is stuck in the shadows, forced to deal with the reality that the two people he loved most
15:14his brother and his fiancée chose each other. Over him, that realization is heartbreaking,
15:20but it's also dangerous. Because Jeremiah has always been the hopeful one, the lighthearted one.
15:25But what happens when hope dies? What happens when the guy who always gave love freely learns that
15:30love can crush you? That's the storm brewing beneath episode 9 and honestly, I'm more worried
15:36about Jeremiah's future than I am about Belly and Conrad's love story. Now, here's where things get
15:41even messier. Belly finally starts to voice some of her guilt. She admits that she knows she hurt
15:46Jeremiah. She admits that maybe she wasn't ready for marriage. But instead of facing it head on,
15:51she keeps circling back to Conrad. And that's what frustrates me the most. Because admitting your
15:56mistakes doesn't mean much if you're still repeating the same patterns. And, Belly is,
16:01she's still letting. Her heart pull her back into the same cycle with Conrad. While Jeremiah gets
16:06left behind with nothing and don't even get me started on the parents. Once again, episode 9 reminds
16:11us just how absent they are in this whole mess. Belly and Jeremiah almost got married, Conrad confessed
16:17his love in the middle of all that chaos. And now Belly and Conrad are basically rekindling things in
16:22Paris and. Not one adult is stepping in to say, slow down, it's wild. These kids are carrying adult
16:28level heartbreak with no guidance, no boundaries, and no reality check. And honestly, that's part of
16:34why everything feels so unhinged. Because, when parents fail to step up, kids like Belly end up
16:39making life-altering decisions with no one to hold them accountable. By this point in episode 9,
16:45I started asking myself, is any of this worth it? Is Belly's love for Conrad really worth destroying
16:50Jeremiah's trust, breaking a family bond, and dragging everyone through this chaos because
16:55even if Belly and Conrad finally end up together, there will always be this shadow over them.
17:00Every time they laugh, every time they kiss, Jeremiah's pain will be right there in the
17:04background. And the show doesn't shy away from that, it wants us to feel the mess, the discomfort,
17:10the heartbreak that lingers even in the middle of romance. And that's the brilliance of episode 9,
17:14it doesn't give us the easy fairy tale. It gives us the ugly side of love, the selfish side,
17:20the side that says, I know this will hurt. But I want it anyway, Belly and Conrad might look like
17:25soulmates. In Paris, but the cost of that connection is tearing Jeremiah apart. And honestly,
17:31tearing their family apart to dot by the end of section 4. The tension has reached a boiling
17:35point. Belly is standing on the edge of a decision she can't avoid anymore. Conrad is finally open,
17:41ready, and waiting for her answer. Jeremiah is in the background, broken, and maybe even changing
17:46into someone we won't recognize. And us, we're stuck in the middle. Wondering how the hell this
17:51story can possibly end without destroying everyone involved, episode 9. Makes one. Thing painfully
17:57clear no matter who Belly chooses. There's no happy ending waiting on the other side. The summer I
18:02turned pretty season 3 episode 9 closes on a note. That leaves you questioning everything. If you thought
18:08this story was finally about to give us clarity, think again. Because episode 9 makes it clear this
18:13isn't about clean endings or neat resolutions. This is about heartbreak, about choices that cut deep.
18:19And about the reality that love doesn't come without consequences. And the craziest part?
18:24Belly is the one holding all the power, but she's the one least prepared to handle it,
18:28what really? Makes the end of this episode hit hard is the way it ties back to everything that's
18:32been building. Since season 1, Belly's been chasing the idea of love. The fairytale romance that would
18:38make her summer unforgettable, but here in Paris, in episode 9, she realizes that real love isn't
18:44dreamy, it's messy, painful, and sometimes downright cruel, the look. In Conrad's eyes,
18:49when he finally tells her he still loves her, the silence that follows. The guilt that flashes
18:54across Belly's face, it's all so raw. And then you remember Jeremiah, you remember the way he stood
18:59there, offering her everything. Only to be left behind, that contrast is brutal. And the show doesn't
19:05let you forget it for even a second. Now, here's where I think the writers are playing with us.
19:09Episode 9 feels like a setup, not a resolution, Belly may be leaning toward Conrad. But the episode
19:15is laced with so much foreshadowing that it's impossible to believe. This will end smoothly,
19:20Jeremiah's absence is the biggest clue, because, when a character disappears like that in the middle
19:25of heartbreak, you know he's not just sitting quietly at home. He's going to come back, and when he does,
19:30he won't be the same Jeremiah we knew, he'll be hardened. Maybe even bitter, and that changes
19:35everything for season 3's finale. And let's be real, Conrad and Belly's reunion doesn't feel safe either.
19:41Sure, the chemistry is there, the history is undeniable, but there's this shadow over them.
19:46Every kiss, every smile, every moment in Paris feels borrowed. Like there's stealing time before
19:51reality crashes back in, because reality always does. And when it does, it won't just be about who
19:56Belly loves more. It'll be about whether the Fisher brothers can even repair the bond between
20:01them, and that? That's bigger than Belly. That's about family, and episode 9 makes it crystal clear
20:06that this family is breaking apart at the seams. By the final minutes, I couldn't stop asking myself
20:12what is Belly really chasing? Is she chasing Conrad because she truly believes he's her forever?
20:17Or is she chasing the fantasy of the boy she loved all those summers ago, because if it's
20:21the fantasy, then she's setting herself up for more heartbreak, and not just for her,
20:26but for everyone around her. And if it's real, if this love is truly worth it,
20:30then why does it feel so destructive? That's the haunting question episode 9 leaves us with,
20:35can a love that destroys so much, still be worth fighting for, and let's not ignore the other
20:39storm brewing. Stephen's anger, Laurel's silence. Susanna's absence all these pieces remind us that
20:46this isn't just Belly's love story. It's the story of a family falling apart, of friendships breaking.
20:51And of a summer that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Every choice Belly makes now isn't
20:56just about romance. It's about whether these people will ever be able to look each other in the eye
21:01again. Without resentment.so when episode 9 ends. It doesn't feel like closure, it feels like the
21:07calm before the final storm. Belly has leaned into Conrad's arms, Jeremiah has been pushed into the
21:12shadows. And the audience is left sitting on edge, knowing the finale is going to explode.
21:17Because no matter what, someone is going to get hurt, someone is going to walk away
21:21broken. And maybe, just maybe, everyone loses in the end. That's why episode 9 is so brilliant it's
21:27not giving us what we want. It's making us face the reality of what love costs. And with only one
21:32episode left this season, the stakes couldn't be higher. Belly's choice isn't just about love
21:37anymore, it's about family, about loyalty. And about whether or not she can live with the
21:42wreckage she's leaving behind.so buckle up. Because if episode 9 taught us anything, it's that the
21:47summer. I turn pretty isn't afraid to rip your heart out when you least expect it. And the way
21:51the season is heading, the finale is going to hurt in ways we're not even ready for.
