00:00It's been too long since we last checked in with Belly and friends.
00:02I meant to do a season two for a while now, but stuff always gets in the way, you know?
00:06I mean, come on, Cory in the House ain't gonna make fun of itself.
00:08But season three is just around the corner,
00:10and what better time to have a little refresher about what's been happening so far
00:13in this absolute masterpiece of cinema.
00:15Come along, everybody, let's check out Summer I Turned Pretty season two.
00:18So just to recap season one, Belly was like,
00:20and then Jeremiah was like,
00:23and Conrad was like,
00:24and then Jeremiah was like,
00:26and then Belly was like,
00:27and then Conrad showed up, and they were like,
00:29and there you go, y'all caught up.
00:30So season two starts off near the end of the next school year
00:33with our good old pal, Belly.
00:36I wasn't in Cousins.
00:39Conrad and I weren't together.
00:41And Susanna was dead.
00:45Wait, she died?
00:47What about all the stuff at the end of the first season
00:49where she's like,
00:50I'm gonna do the treatment,
00:51and everyone's like,
00:52and then you're just gonna say,
00:53Now, as you might imagine,
00:55Susanna losing the battle with cancer has really taken a toll on everyone,
00:58and Belly's grades have been slipping.
00:59She's been kicked off the volleyball team,
01:00which was like her whole thing, apparently.
01:02Everything's just kind of falling apart.
01:03I was reviewing your end of term transcripts,
01:05and I couldn't help but notice that your grades have taken a serious dive.
01:09I mean, you kept an A in French,
01:11but you won't impress colleges with just French.
01:13There's a death in the family.
01:16Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
01:19But your grades have been dipping all year.
01:21And this leads to Belly thinking about happier times,
01:23like the end of last summer,
01:24when she was dating Conrad after the debutante thing.
01:26But before that, really quick,
01:27this video is brought to you by Surfshark VPN.
01:29Surfshark VPN is an app and browser extension
01:31that lets you change your IP address
01:33to be pretty much anywhere in the world you want.
01:34Now, what this means for you
01:36is it protects you from websites and other users
01:37trying to snoop on what you're doing and from where.
01:39Maybe your country has some, like, weird, strict content censoring laws,
01:42or you just don't want people to potentially hack your account.
01:45Well, Surfshark VPN can help you with all of that,
01:47but it also has a lot of very practical day-to-day uses,
01:49like allowing you to watch the Netflix libraries
01:51from almost any country.
01:52Fun fact, Slovakia has by far
01:54the highest number of movies and TV shows you can watch,
01:57with over 7,400 titles compared to 5,800 in the US.
02:00And all you gotta do is just install Surfshark VPN
02:02and tell it to put your IP address in Slovakia,
02:05and there you go.
02:05You have access to an extra 1,600 titles.
02:08Or Japan and Taiwan have the biggest anime libraries on Netflix,
02:10so using Surfshark VPN, you can have access to all of that.
02:13Or in the reverse, if you're traveling away from your country,
02:16you want to stay up to date on a certain show you're watching,
02:18or whatever, you can use Surfshark VPN
02:19to put your IP address in your home country,
02:21and then wham-bam-bibbada-bow, there you go.
02:23And it gives you access to all of this.
02:25And get this, you can use a single subscription
02:26on an unlimited number of devices.
02:28So let's say you and four other family members,
02:30y'all want to pitch in on one subscription,
02:31that means you get all of this for 50 cents a month.
02:34So click my link down below,
02:36you're gonna get four extra months added to your subscription.
02:38So click my link and sign up today.
02:40Okay, back to the show.
02:42There's something that I need to tell you.
02:46Jeremiah told me it was feelings for me.
02:49Oh, so what did you say?
02:51I kissed him a few times.
02:54Uh, yeah, okay, that doesn't really answer the question, Belly.
02:57Do you want to be with him?
02:58Being with you is all I've ever wanted.
03:00Okay, that's great.
03:01Be with me then.
03:03Conrad, you are taking this really well.
03:05Hey, so FYI, I totally made out with your brother like yesterday.
03:08Word, my dude.
03:09And so now Belly's in the oh-so-relatable position
03:12of making out with Captain Adam's apple,
03:13and then she turns right around and dates his brother,
03:15the chin, and then she had to navigate all that somehow.
03:19Each guy thinking that he's not the side chick,
03:21you know what I'm saying?
03:22That's kind of why I think we should tell Conrad about us as soon as possible.
03:27This was always yours.
03:31No matter what happens,
03:34we'll still be infinite.
03:37So eventually she tells Jimothy over here,
03:40and he's all harumph, harumph.
03:41And so she dates Concord for the rest of the year.
03:43No, Jared, please.
03:45No, no, you know what?
03:45Actually, it's cool.
03:46It's cool, I get it.
03:47You know, I was just the distraction
03:49to keep you busy while you waited for Conrad.
03:51I'm glad it finally happened for you, Belly.
03:53I'm sorry, is this dude's voice getting lower?
03:56My dude, what is your secret?
03:57Why do I gotta be stuck with a voice
03:59that sounds like Adam Sandler doing a bit?
04:01However...
04:02In current day, they're all broken up, scattered around.
04:04She hasn't seen or heard from either of them in a long time.
04:07I know.
04:08Sucks, babe.
04:10But eventually you're gonna have to let him go.
04:13Yeah, I just wish I knew how.
04:15It's like my meemaw always used to say,
04:17the best way to get over a man
04:19is to push your feelings down as long as you can
04:21until one day you wake up with bangs and a septum piercing.
04:23Because I mean, come on,
04:24one of those has got to solve your problems.
04:25So she goes to this party thing with her friend
04:27and there's this guy who's looking at her like,
04:30but then she makes her move
04:31and guess what happens?
04:33Come here.
04:34You kind of have something.
04:51Now, finally, she bites the bullet
04:53and calls up Jornelius,
04:54who has some interesting news for her.
04:56Hi, Jeremiah.
04:57I'm so glad.
04:57Are you with Conrad?
04:59No.
04:59Why would I be with Conrad?
05:01What is going on?
05:02Conrad's gone.
05:04I think I'm gonna go to Brown in the morning
05:06and see if I can track him down.
05:08And so with nothing else really going on,
05:09Billy decides to go with him to find Conrad,
05:11even though Jarmillion over here
05:13isn't really a fan of Billy at the moment,
05:14given certain events that we don't know yet.
05:16I don't think he's missed a day of class in his life.
05:19Not even when Mom was sick.
05:20I really don't want to get dragged
05:21in the middle of whatever bullsh-
05:23Shrek?
05:23Conrad's in right now,
05:24but if something were to happen to him,
05:27I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
05:28Just want to give a quick shout out
05:29to whoever it is that lathers this dude up in bronzer
05:32before every scene.
05:33My man just shows up on set like,
05:35okay, I'm ready.
05:37So they drive all the way over to Conrad's dorm
05:39to see if his roommate maybe knows something,
05:40you know?
05:41Hey, Conny's not back, is he?
05:42Uh, I haven't seen him since Thursday afternoon.
05:46Uh, did anything else happen before he left?
05:48He got into it with somebody on the phone.
05:50Like, he was yelling.
05:51And then he just took off.
05:52Do you have any idea who he was yelling at?
05:54I don't know, bro.
05:55The government who's surveilling us
05:56through our devices as we speak?
05:57Oh, you seem real fun to talk to.
05:59Wait, hold on.
06:00Tell me your thoughts on 9-11.
06:01What?
06:02Sophie might know where Conrad went.
06:03You're tight.
06:04You wouldn't happen to have any idea
06:05where my brother disappeared to?
06:07Um, I think he said he was going to hang out
06:08with his cousin by the beach.
06:10Now, Cousins, in case you forgot,
06:12is where the summer beach house is,
06:13which is, like, the entire shtick of the show.
06:15And so, they drive all the way down
06:16to the beach house to see if they can find Conrad.
06:30I love when shows and movies,
06:31they, like, turn on the radio
06:32and immediately it just plays some, like, indie song
06:34where the girl sounds like she just ran seven miles.
06:36But, like, every time I try listening to the radio,
06:38it doesn't matter what station you pick,
06:40they only ever just play Imagine Dragons.
06:42Like, am I in purgatory?
06:43But, of course, on this trip,
06:44they reconnect and decide to put the past behind them.
06:47Sure, she dated his brother,
06:48like, the day after making out with him,
06:50but Conrad has cool hair,
06:51so, like, what's she supposed to do?
06:54It's gonna be okay, Belly.
06:55I promise.
07:00How?
07:03Oh, what's that?
07:04Sorry, I couldn't hear you
07:05over the sound of my bangs in my eyes.
07:06On the way to the house,
07:08Belly recalls more memories
07:09about what it was like dating Conrad,
07:10like when they snuck off to the beach house
07:12in the wintertime without telling anyone
07:13and they spent the night there alone.
07:16Do you want your cocoa?
07:17Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:19Sure.
07:21Wow, dude.
07:22Amazing?
07:23Really dusty.
07:25Okay, for your information,
07:27cocoa is my specialty.
07:29Yeah, I kind of have my own secret recipe, okay?
07:31You know how the directions say add two scoops?
07:33Well, I add more than that.
07:35Whoa, dude.
07:36Ooh.
07:38That feels good.
07:40Yeah, that's because you're cold-hearted.
07:45For everyone else, maybe.
07:50Not for you.
07:55Who says that?
07:56Now, this all leads to her having her first time
07:58doing the devil's tango.
08:00Ever, I assume.
08:01And, you know, of course,
08:02it's all romantic by the fireplace
08:03in the wintertime,
08:04like everyone wishes their first time was
08:05instead of how it actually is
08:07where you're just cramped up
08:07in the back of a Honda Civic on a Wednesday.
08:09Anyway, so, current day,
08:10they finally arrive at the house
08:12and Belly's having all kinds of feelings.
08:13Why does he still have this pull on me?
08:16I don't want to see him.
08:18And I can't wait for it.
08:27What is she doing here?
08:29Okay, rude.
08:30Now, what we come to find out
08:31is that the house has been put up for sale
08:32because when their mom died,
08:33the property rights reverted to her sister.
08:35And her sister has been somewhat estranged
08:37from the family for, like, decades or whatever.
08:39So she has no interest in keeping the house whatsoever.
08:41And so this is why corn on the cob over here
08:43just ran off from school suddenly.
08:49You won't even look at me.
08:54Sorry if me being here is weird.
08:56Hey, you know, that was my opening line
08:57on, like, every first date I ever went on.
08:59Now, the main bulk of this season
09:00is Conrad and Jeremiah
09:02trying to think of ways
09:02to get through to their aunt
09:03to convince her to either
09:04not sell the house at all
09:06or sell it to their dad
09:07or maybe they can use their trust funds
09:08to buy the house or something.
09:09And in the middle of all this,
09:10we get a bunch of flashbacks
09:12about how Belly and Conrad's relationship
09:14kind of, like, rose and fell
09:15with how the mom was doing.
09:16And as she got worse,
09:17their relationship started to crumble
09:18because, understandably,
09:20Conrad has so many feelings all the time.
09:22I just might go back to school tonight.
09:24I have an exam on Monday and everything.
09:26Is it all right if I go to the after prom?
09:27I'll still drop you off.
09:29I thought you were, um...
09:31I thought you were spending the night.
09:33Belly, if I stay,
09:34I'm just gonna ruin the rest of the night for you.
09:35I don't want to do that.
09:36Did I...
09:36Did I do something?
09:38You know, every girl says
09:39they want a guy with emotions
09:40until he actually has emotions
09:41and then they're like,
09:42okay, this is, like, really annoying.
09:44Crashouts are kind of my thing.
09:49I'm sorry.
09:50You know, Conrad,
09:52between you and me,
09:52apologizing doesn't really mean much
09:54if you just keep doing the same thing anyway.
09:55Now, this all leads up
09:56to when the mom passes away
09:58and they have a funeral
09:58and Belly and Conrad break up
10:00in a very civilized, mature manner.
10:02Belly, wait.
10:03What do you want?
10:04Let go of me.
10:05Belly, that was just Aubrey.
10:08I'm sorry I interrupted your little moment.
10:11She was helping me.
10:13So you'll accept her help but not mine?
10:16Grow up.
10:17Go to hell!
10:20Well, this is fun.
10:23I should have known you'd be like this.
10:25What do you mean?
10:28Forget it.
10:29No, say it. Tell me.
10:30You know what? Fine.
10:31I don't even like the Bionicles movies.
10:32Ninjago is way better.
10:33Yeah, what are you going to do?
10:34I said it.
10:35You take that back.
10:36And of course, as you might imagine,
10:37while they're trying to save the house,
10:39Belly keeps kind of flip-flopping
10:40between like maybe she still has feelings for Conrad.
10:42But then again,
10:43she never really gave Jeremiah a fair chance.
10:45And like, you got to get in there
10:46as soon as you can
10:46before the skin cancer sets in.
10:48You know what I'm saying?
10:48And in between all of this,
10:49they're trying to enjoy their summer
10:51because like, it might be the last summer
10:52they spend there like ever.
10:53I just, um, smelled muffins.
10:58You want one?
10:59Yeah, sure.
10:59Those are for the open house.
11:02Morning.
11:04Hmm, did somebody get muff?
11:06What?
11:07Well, hey, Jeremiah,
11:08you play your cards right.
11:09Who knows what could happen?
11:10Now, with her aunt being there to sell the house,
11:12she also brought her kid,
11:13aka their cousin, Sky.
11:15Hey, Jeremiah.
11:17Hi.
11:18Conrad.
11:19Sky.
11:20You didn't tell me she was here too.
11:22It's they, not she.
11:24God, I guess it's been like a decade
11:25since I saw you guys.
11:27And like, even though they're not really
11:28best buds with their aunt at the moment,
11:30they still want to include Sky
11:31and get to know them better
11:32because really this is all the fault
11:33of their evil Aunt Julia.
11:37Now, you should stay.
11:39It's fine.
11:40Fine, you win.
11:41But I don't do high fives.
11:43I'm not gonna like,
11:44whoop in the air.
11:46I don't trust talk.
11:47The corners of my mouth
11:48might turn up just a little bit,
11:49but I'm not gonna smile.
11:50So they spend the day at the boardwalk
11:52and they decide to have
11:52a little competition amongst themselves
11:54where they like, play laser tag,
11:55wall climbing, basketball.
11:57They do some DDR for a while.
12:02Oh, wait, I'm sad.
12:12You tried going up
12:13against a probably autistic
12:14they-them introvert
12:15in a DDR tournament?
12:16My dude, you never stood a chance.
12:18This is like trying to play
12:19Magic the Gathering
12:20against a dude in a fursuit, okay?
12:22Like, don't even bother.
12:24But Belly's team ends up losing,
12:25so that means they have to buy
12:26a bunch of candy for the guys.
12:30Get ready to pay up, Belly.
12:33You know, I think
12:34that's why our mom banned us
12:35from playing.
12:36I could pay.
12:37I mean, I made a ton of money
12:38shorting Bitcoin, so...
12:40Of course you did, Sky.
12:41And, shocking plot twist,
12:42Belly has more memories
12:43of things and stuff
12:44that like, happened or whatever.
12:47Hey, don't worry.
12:49I'm not here with you, okay?
12:53Jeremiah is always there
12:55when I need him.
12:56Yeah, except at that
12:57debutante ball, am I right?
12:58You know, the whole reason
12:59why everything kicked off
13:00in the first place?
13:00You're just retconning
13:01your whole life here, Belly?
13:02So, the season goes on like this.
13:03Their aunt puts all the furniture
13:04in storage and kicks the kids
13:06out of the house
13:06so she can sell it.
13:07So, they have to stay
13:08at like the local country club
13:09where Belly and Geripides
13:10keep having their little
13:11will-they-won't-they moments.
13:12I mean, before on the boardwalk.
13:14Just stop.
13:16Okay?
13:17Why don't you want to...
13:18kiss me?
13:24Because if I kiss you,
13:25I don't know that I can ever stop.
13:27So...
13:29The heck does that even mean?
13:35You know, I really brought
13:36this on myself, honestly.
13:37But everything keeps
13:38kind of not going their way.
13:39You know, like the aunt
13:40sells the house,
13:41there's no takebacks,
13:42the furniture's gone,
13:42basically it's all over.
13:44Okay, so...
13:45I know things aren't going
13:46so great right now,
13:47but it's always the darkest
13:48before the dawn, right?
13:49Yeah, okay, Jeremiah.
13:50Please shut up.
13:50You know, I never thought
13:51we were going to lose this place.
13:53Did you?
13:55No, never.
13:56I love this place
13:57as much as I possibly could.
13:58No, I...
13:59I can't help but think
14:00I didn't love it enough.
14:03Wow, can you believe
14:04hot people have problems too?
14:06Hey, they're just like me!
14:07So they all come together
14:08and decide to throw
14:09one last big giant party
14:10at the house
14:11because it's already sold
14:12and there's nothing
14:12they can do about it anyway,
14:13so might as well trash the place.
14:15And everyone's really excited
14:16about this party,
14:16even Skye,
14:17if you can believe that.
14:18Externally imposed
14:19societal expectations
14:20of normal
14:20have no effect on me.
14:22That being said,
14:23I've decided
14:24that I am ready
14:25and willing
14:27and would like to know
14:28what to do
14:29with the various parts of my mouth
14:30when it needs another mouth.
14:31Okay, well,
14:32step one,
14:32don't say any of that ever again.
14:34Now, at the party,
14:35everything just kind of falls apart.
14:36People trash the house,
14:37Belly starts feeling bad
14:38because she feels like
14:39she's disrespecting
14:39Susanna's memory.
14:40She has feelings for Jebediah,
14:42but also maybe
14:43might still have feelings
14:44for Kontezuma
14:45and no,
14:46which one will she choose?
14:47Which hot guy is right for you?
14:49The one with no baggage
14:50and all the fun
14:51or the one with only baggage
14:53who moves around all the time?
14:54Let's go to Moe
14:55with the leaderboards, Moe!
14:56And so, long story short,
14:57Belly realizes
14:58that she's way in over her head.
14:59So, she calls her mom
15:00to come to the house.
15:01Her mom has no idea
15:01any of this is happening,
15:02by the way,
15:03because she's busy promoting
15:04her new book, you know?
15:04So, she's like,
15:05you're at the house
15:05with the boys?
15:06Since when?
15:07You've been lying to me
15:08for days
15:08and I didn't know
15:09how to tell you.
15:10There is no excuse.
15:12We came here for Susanna.
15:13Stop it.
15:13I can't stand to hear you
15:14use her as an excuse
15:15one more time.
15:16You can't stand me, period.
15:18No, no, no.
15:19The only mistake I made
15:21was thinking that you could help.
15:23She would never even...
15:24But after things calm down,
15:26Belly's mom offers
15:26to talk to Conrad
15:27and Jeremiah's aunt,
15:28and then like four minutes later,
15:30the house is saved,
15:30she cancels the sale,
15:31all problems are instantly solved.
15:33God, I wish I'd tried harder
15:34to fix things with her.
15:36It's not too late for that.
15:40I've...
15:42decided to pull out of the sale.
15:44Like, this is all it took?
15:45This whole season
15:46could have been over
15:46in five minutes.
15:47The heck was the point
15:48of any of this?
15:49Now, while this is all happening,
15:50Conrad finds out
15:51that he got into Stanford
15:52because, of course he did.
15:54Heaven forbid,
15:54we have a show
15:55where kids go to
15:55an in-state community college,
15:57am I right?
15:57Wow, I can knock out
15:58all my gen eds
15:59for basically no money?
16:00But, because he's been here
16:02the whole time,
16:02he hasn't really studied
16:03for any of his finals
16:04and he's worried about
16:05having his acceptance revoked.
16:06Stanford is your dream school.
16:08Jared, I'm not gonna let you
16:10give up on your dream
16:11and stay at Brown
16:11because you're trying
16:12to do right by me.
16:13There's more to it.
16:13Like the fact
16:14I'll probably pull my acceptance
16:15for missing my final tomorrow.
16:17Cool.
16:17Then you won't miss it.
16:18Come on.
16:19We'll pull an all-night study session
16:20and we'll get you ready for it.
16:22It's no problem.
16:23And so they help him study
16:24and they take him back
16:25to take the finals
16:25and while he's doing this,
16:27Belly and Jeremiah
16:27have some more
16:28alone time.
16:31What?
16:32What you?
16:34Belly.
16:43I'm sad.
16:45I love this dude
16:46just walking in the back here.
16:47Mind my own business.
16:48Mind my own business.
16:59Yep, that's me.
17:00You're probably wondering
17:01how I got here.
17:02Oh no, it's Conrad
17:03with his signature
17:03complete lack of expression.
17:05Whatever will they do?
17:06Well, if you're Conrad,
17:07you get all upsetty spaghetti
17:08and storm off
17:08back to your dorm room.
17:09Conrad?
17:11You're back.
17:12Mm-hmm.
17:15Dude, what's wrong, my guy?
17:17I just saw my brother
17:19kissing my belly.
17:24Wait, what?
17:25That is not what happened, sir.
17:26Are we watching the same show?
17:28Now, the very end of the season,
17:29they're driving back somewhere
17:30and it rains like crazy.
17:32So they have to book a hotel
17:33and stay the night.
17:33All three of them
17:34sharing a room, you know,
17:35just laying there like,
17:51But Belly realizes
17:52that dating Conrad
17:53will probably just keep
17:54going the same way
17:54over and over forever.
17:56And so she makes
17:56the very bold, daring decision
17:58to date the guy
17:58who's actually fun to be around.
18:00I can't even be mad at him
18:01because this is who he is.
18:03This is who he's always been.
18:05He never lied about that.
18:06He gives
18:06and then he takes away.
18:08So I release you,
18:09Conrad Fisher.
18:10I evict you from my heart.
18:14And that's more or less
18:15where the season ends.
18:16So season one,
18:17she ends up with Conrad.
18:18Season two,
18:19she ends up with Jeremiah.
18:20And season three,
18:21she's gonna smash their dad,
18:22I assume?
18:22I don't know.
18:23But that said,
18:23the third and final season
18:24of the show is coming
18:25in just a couple weeks,
18:26so I have no idea
18:27what it could possibly be about,
18:29but I guess we'll see.
18:30To be fair,
18:31this season does have a lot
18:32to do with like grief
18:34and sort of like dealing
18:35with the loss of a family member
18:37and kind of how that affects everyone.
18:38And in the memories
18:38that Belly and her mom have
18:40about Susanna,
18:42like there are some
18:42very touching scenes
18:43where you kind of see like
18:44they all know what's gonna happen
18:46and kind of how they deal with it.
18:47This season is not
18:48a complete helpless mess,
18:49but like the actual like
18:50Belly and Conrad and Jeremiah
18:52and all that stuff,
18:53like that whole main thing
18:54is just like so messy.
18:56It's just like so,
18:58it goes like nowhere
18:59and it circles around itself
19:00over and over again.
19:01There are a lot of interesting
19:02touching scenes in the season
19:04that I think were handled
19:05quite well,
19:06but I guess I myself
19:07am not really a huge fan
19:08of the whole like
19:09you already know what happened
19:11and then there's just
19:11these little tidbits
19:12here and there
19:13of memories
19:13that kind of fill you in
19:15a little bit.
19:15I would have liked it better
19:16if it just like showed us
19:17what happened
19:18and it was just like
19:18about the relationship itself.
19:20Like I said,
19:21I feel like it just kind of
19:21circled around itself
19:23for basically the entire time.
19:25They're dealing with this house
19:26and how they're gonna do it
19:27and they try all these things
19:28and then like she just
19:29calls her mom
19:30and then it's solved
19:31in five minutes
19:31and then it's like
19:32and then the last episode,
19:33finally,
19:34they quickly tie the loose ends
19:36together like,
19:36okay, she chooses Jeremiah
19:37and Conrad's out
19:38or something,
19:39whatever.
19:39Okay, bye.
19:40You know,
19:40like, I don't know.
19:41It just,
19:41it's very messy.
19:42It does not feel
19:43very cohesive whatsoever.
