00:00The episode 9 of The Summer I Turned Pretty goes just as many of us thought it would.

00:05It continues from the moment Belly meets Conrad at the airport,

00:08and then she flies to Paris, where her life suddenly takes unexpected turns.

00:13Once she reaches Paris, she faces many troubles one after another.

00:17She loses her bag, which makes her panic,

00:20and on top of that, she finds out that the seat she thought she had in her college program

00:24is not really hers.

00:26While she is trying to figure out her future in Paris,

00:29Jeremiah is still angry with both Belly and Conrad.

00:32Even though episode 9 did not show many clear scenes that directly connect Belly and Conrad's ending,

00:38we were still able to find some important clues hidden in the episode.

00:42Just like we have done in past episodes, here we are again,

00:45picking out the small details and proving that Belly and Conrad's love story is still alive.

00:50And as always, a quick reminder that if you have not subscribed yet,

00:57The first and strongest clue we need to talk about is the Boston Red Sox and the home run moment.

01:03When Conrad gets the call from his dad that the wedding is off,

01:06he is shocked, but at the same time it feels like a silent victory for him.

01:11Right above him on the TV, a baseball player hits a home run.

01:14This is not just background detail, it is placed there for a reason.

01:19A home run in baseball means winning big, scoring high, and turning the game around.

01:23For Conrad, it shows that even if everything feels messy in the moment, his love story with Belly is not over.

01:30It is a hidden way of telling us that Conrad is going to win, not just in life, but in love too.

01:35At the airport, Belly is also shown next to a man with a Boston Red Sox backpack.

01:40Now, if you know Chris Briney, who plays Conrad, you will know he is a huge Red Sox fan in real life.

01:46The show has used this team before as a symbol linked to Conrad.

01:49When we see the backpack and the home run on TV, it is a double hint.

01:54It is like the universe is whispering that this is Conrad's win and Conrad's story.

01:59Even if Belly is far away in Paris, the show is reminding us that the signs are pointing back to him.

02:05It's like Jenny Han is quietly planting these Red Sox images to keep Conrad and Belly tied together.

02:11Jeremiah has no connection to this symbol at all.

02:14It only belongs to Conrad, so when we see it in such an important moment, we know that Belly's ending is going to be with him.

02:21The next big clue is the one that comes with La Jetée and Belly becoming Isabelle.

02:26When Belly meets new friends in Paris, she introduces herself as Isabelle instead of Belly.

02:32At first, this may look like a small detail, but it actually carries huge meaning.

02:37Belly has always been a nickname that represents the younger version of her,

02:40the girl still figuring herself out, stuck in the middle of Conrad and Jeremiah.

02:45By using Isabelle, she is trying to step into a new version of herself,

02:49one that is stronger, more grown up, and more sure of who she is.

02:54What makes this even more powerful is that Conrad has always been the one to call her Isabelle in important moments,

03:00like in Season 1, Episode 2, when they went to buy beer.

03:03He was the first to see her beyond the nickname, the first to show that he loved the real her, Isabelle.

03:09I would love to hear your plan, Isabelle.

03:13So, when Belly calls herself Isabelle in Paris, it connects back to Conrad in a very direct way.

03:20It is like she is finally stepping into the version of herself that Conrad has always recognized and loved.

03:26There is also the club password La Jetée.

03:29In French, it means the pier, and this is another big link.

03:33The pier is one of the most important places in Cousins for Belly and Conrad.

03:37It is where many deep conversations and romantic moments happen between them.

03:42So, when the Paris storyline suddenly uses La Jetée,

03:46it is a reminder that even in a new country, Belly's path will still circle back to Conrad and to the pier.

03:53It is another hidden message that says, no matter how far she travels,

03:57her story is tied to Conrad and to Cousins.

04:00The show could have chosen any password, but it chose La Jetée,

04:04and that word leads us right back to Conrad's connection with her.

04:07The next important clue is Benito, the boy Belly meets in Paris.

04:11In the show, he seems like just a new friend, maybe even someone she could grow closer to.

04:17But the name Benito is not random.

04:20Readers of the book, We'll Always Have Summer,

04:22know that Benito is a name that appears in Conrad's letters to Belly when she is abroad.

04:27Conrad writes about him with jealousy,

04:29joking about this Benito guy on a scooter,

04:31and wondering what Belly sees in him.

04:34Those letters showed how much Conrad cared about Belly,

04:37even when he pretended to push her away.

04:39By bringing Benito into the show,

04:41Jenny Han is not trying to start a new romance for Belly.

04:44Instead, she is making a direct bridge back to Conrad.

04:48It tells us that just like in the books,

04:50Conrad is going to write to her,

04:52and Benito will be mentioned,

04:54which means Conrad is still watching,

04:56still caring,

04:57still loving her from afar.

04:59It may look like Belly is moving forward with new people,

05:02but Benito is actually another way of showing that Conrad is always there in the background.

05:07This clue makes it very believable that their story will find its way back,

05:11because Benito is part of Conrad's letters,

05:14and those letters are one of the strongest symbols of their connection.

05:18Then we have the Conrad and Jeremiah parallels,

05:20which the show keeps showing us again and again.

05:24In this episode, we see it very clearly.

05:26Conrad listens to Taylor and respects her when she says not to call Belly,

05:31while Jeremiah pushes against it.

05:33When Belly asks Conrad if everyone hates her,

05:36he comforts her with kindness and calm words.

05:39When Belly asks Jeremiah if he wants to murder her,

05:41his answer is harsh and reactive.

05:44This pattern shows us something very simple.

05:46Conrad understands Belly at a deeper level,

05:49and he gives her the safety and the calm that she needs.

05:52Jeremiah reacts quickly,

05:54often out of anger or frustration.

05:56The show is using these differences to remind us

05:59that the brother who can give Belly what she truly needs is Conrad.

06:03These parallels are not random.

06:05They are carefully written to show why Belly will choose Conrad in the end.

06:09Then there is Taylor and Stephen's full circle moment.

06:12At the hospital in season 3,

06:14Taylor once worried that she was not worth it for Stephen.

06:18In episode 9, Stephen tells her she is worth it,

06:21and they both agree that their relationship is something worth fighting for.

06:24This moment is sweet for them as a couple,

06:27but it also works as a mirror for Belly and Conrad.

06:30Belly has always feared that Conrad did not think she was enough,

06:34and Conrad has always feared losing her.

06:36But just like Stephen and Taylor,

06:39their story is about realizing that real love is about choosing each other again and again.

06:44When Taylor and Stephen say they are worth it,

06:46it shows the audience that Belly and Conrad will reach the same place.

06:49The writers gave this to Taylor and Stephen first as a warm-up,

06:53but it is clear that the same lesson is coming for Belly and Conrad.

06:57The episode ends with Taylor Swift's How Did It End?

07:00And that choice matters.

07:02The song is about a breakup,

07:04the pain that follows,

07:05and the hard work of moving forward to find your true ending.

07:09In the final montage, we see Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah

07:12each taking a separate step on their healing path.

07:15Using this specific song tells us two things in simple terms.

07:19First, Belly is closing a chapter that does not fit her anymore.

07:23Second, the story is steering her toward the ending

07:26that has always felt real and deep, which is Conrad.

07:29Taylor's songs in this show usually score the biggest emotional truths.

07:33Here, the truth is that the old version of Belly's love life is over,

07:37and she's growing into the person Conrad has always seen.

07:41Isabelle, not just Belly.

07:43The music choice works like a quiet narrator.

07:45It says the hurt is necessary,

07:47the distance is temporary,

07:49and the right ending is still ahead.

07:51That's why fans read this needle drop

07:52as a strong sign for Belly and Conrad endgame.

07:55And that's the end of all the clues we've found so far.
