This is a spoiler-free review. So after watching The Summer I Turned Pretty episode 1, and absolutely loving it. I couldn’t wait to finally watch the second episode that dropped on the same day.

What happened in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 2
So, diving into Season 3, Episode 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty—titled “Last Christmas”—here’s what went down – spoiler-free version.
Poor Belly starts the episode curled up in bed, reeling after finding out a huge secret Jeremiah has been keeping.
While the couple’s relationship has been smooth sailing so far, this setback appears to be one that could rock their relationship for good. Here’s a breakdown of the dramatic episode:
Flashbacks
There are some flashbacks throughout the programme.
There’s the spring Break in Cabo, where we see Belly and Jeremiah’s fight play out, as well as the loneliness and jealousy of Conrad come to the surface.
Last Christmas at Cousins Beach. This is where Belly ended up at the beach alone, and she is left surprised when Conrad shows up at the door to spend a few days with her.
They spent a cozy, platonic day watching movies and doing crosswords. The pair aren’t crossing any lines, but it has reminded Belly that she’ll always have a soft spot for Conrad.
A huge incident revolving around Steven.
Without giving much away, Steven and Taylor get into a huge fight, and things take a nasty turn.
As we know, the duo are known for their on-and-off relationship – but one incident puts a huge spanner in the works.
Will the couple ever manage to work out their differences?
Conrad steps up (and gets consequences)
This year, Conrad is focusing on his life outside of Cousins – including his career.
He wants to become a doctor and is now working on his new medical internship.
When he hears huge news from home, he is torn between leaving and staying at his job.
Feeling confused, he ends up reaching out to Belly again, reconnecting after months of silence.
Jeremiah’s bold move
There’s a huge turn in Belly and Jeremiah’s relationship following his brutal behaviour towards her.
Will she ever be able to forgive him for his wrongdoings?
This episode will reveal to you exactly that.
For Jeremiah stans, this revelation can come as a huge shock, particularly those who have been invested and rooting for him to win over Belly’s heart.
Final Thoughts💌
This episode was definitely a hectic one as Belly’s heart is pulled in all directions—Jeremiah, Conrad, and her own dreams.
She has matured, but she’s still unsure of her future.
In this episode, there’s love, regrets, and surprises, and it’s the kind of one you binge in your PJs with tea and snacks.
So yeah, it’s one of those episodes that quietly packs a punch, with relationships shifting and unexpected choices. Feels like the calm before the real storm.
Can’t wait to chat more once you’ve seen it!
