The summer i turned pretty season 3

The most awaited episode this season is finally here and we’re nothing but a big ball of mush watching Conrad yearn for his girl and take us through his POV, FINALLY!

Ever since the new and final season of Jenny Han’s hit show The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 premiered, the entire internet has been decoding each episode like it’s the finale! Each scene, each dialogue, each costume is looked at with an eagle eye! Theories are discussed and more than anything, the fandom just wants to give Conrad a big tight hug at this point. Since the season began, Conrad is turning out to be everyone’s favourite (as if he wasn’t already!) and learning that the final season had an episode from his POV became a rather anticipated affair!

In episode 5, we hear all of Conrad’s thoughts out loud for the first time. How he is still head over heels in love with Belly, how he will always have her back even if he knows staying away from her is the best thing he can do for himself, or how for a second he forgot he isn’t the one she is marrying! He yearns, he wonders if life be different for him today if he wouldn’t have said certain things or made certain decisions. He looks back at the intimate moments he spent with Belly when they were together and his heart breaks that he isn’t the one who can give her everything she deserves and more. While Jeremiah is stuck at his dad’s internship and cries over not having his favourite cake at the wedding, Conrad makes sure Belly does not have to make decisions for the wedding alone, even though it’s killing him on the inside! 

That’s who Conrad is. The one who’ll always keep others first, who’ll always do the right thing, act all fine even though he is suffering on the inside. He will always keep promises titanium strong; Conrad is an ode to the ones who overthink it all but keep everything on the inside. The heartbroken ones. The elder child of the family who has the pressure to be perfect and keep it all together. His entire personality comes out in this episode.

Directed by Jenny Han herself, the episode is no short of a dream! It’s everything that the book and series fans have ever imagined it to be. While it has insane chemistry, it also ends on a heartbreaking note, one that’ll leave you feeling heavy and just wanting to shake Belly and ask her how blind could she be this whole time? But instead, we’re going to leave it on Jenny Han to let Conrad get his girl back eventually this season!
