Previously on The Summer I Turned Pretty...
Today's open house has been cancelled.
So I need you all out of the house.
- The boardwalk. That's a great idea. - You should come with us, Skye.
You know, once they get to see more of Cousins,
and hang out with you guys,
they'll see why we love this place so much.
- You sure Milo's cool with you coming with me? - Why wouldn't he be?
Because we kissed for, like, two seconds?
Don't worry. I'm right here with you, okay?
- [screaming] - You know, I just feel
everyone's slipping away,
and-and the house
is the last thing tying us together.
[Jeremiah] Everything's gone.

What the fuck, Julia?
[Julia] I'm sorry.
This must be such a shock.
I-I spoke to your father this afternoon,
and-and he and I decided that it would be best
not to drag this out any longer than necessary.
I don't give a shit what the two of you decided on.
You had no right to touch anything in this house.
- Those were her things. - Breathe, man. Okay?
- [Conrad] Stop. - [Julia] Everything's in storage.
I made sure that everyone
was very careful with every single thing.
I'm just doing what I have to do
- to sell this house. - [Conrad] Bullshit.
You could have said something.
You could have warned us.
All you want to do is fight our mom,
- constantly. - Okay, enough.
You're not the only one that's hurting here.
And I'm not the one you should be angry with.
Your mother could have warned you
that this was gonna happen.
She just wanted to make me the bad guy, as usual.
I'm so sorry that she was too busy dying
to make your life a little easier.
You know, it sucks that our grandfather
loved her more than you,
but I'm not surprised.
[Jeremiah] Conrad could have chosen his words better.
But he's not wrong.
The truth hurts.
All of it hurts.
[Belly] Jere... [exhales]
What did you say to them, anyway?
I told them about Shitmas.
I mean, I just wanted them to understand
why you're selling the house.
You shouldn't have done that.
That was private.
Listen, I'm not going to defend
what Conrad just said, okay?
That wasn't right.
B... I-I can't defend this either, Mom.
I mean, can you?
[sighs]
Uh...
[Steven] Connie, come on... No.
Connie.
[line ringing]
Of course, Dad did nothing to stop her.
Connie, what can he do?
Jere! He doesn't care about us!
[Jeremiah] Our dad was never going to win
a Father of the Year award.
He was flawed, that's for sure.
But when it counted, he was there at the end.
Conrad just couldn't see it.
He didn't want to.
And this asshole won't even pick up my... calls.
- Did you know about this? - Easy, Connie.
I'm, no, I'm serious. I'm serious.
- Did you know about this? - [Skye] I-I didn't know
anything, okay? I swear I would have told you.
[Conrad] Would you have? Really?
Because we haven't seen each other in ten years.
Would a day at the boardwalk have been enough
- to make you betray your mom? - Listen,
I know we don't know each other very well,
but I-I wouldn't have sideswiped you like this.
Connie, come on.
What are we going to do?
I don't know.
[Jeremiah] My whole life, I've looked up to Conrad.
He's always been smarter, faster, just... better.
Maybe part of me even needed that: someone to look up to.
But a lot's happened this year.
I don't feel that way anymore.
Okay, we can't just leave.
All right? The house isn't sold yet.
- We still have a chance. - [Skye] A slim one.
I mean, full disclosure, Mom's realtor is expecting
multiple cash offers, all over asking,
no contingencies.
Thank you, Skye, for that bleak as fuck assessment.
Also, where are we going to sleep tonight?
I think there are some sleeping bags in the garage.
I'm not sleeping this house.
Okay, I... We don't have to. All right?
Okay, well, hotels are usually all booked up
around this time of year.
I feel like I should... go.
And I'd totally invite you guys to come stay with me,
but it's a pretty small place, so...
Yeah, maybe... maybe we should go, too.
[Jeremiah] They're this close to giving up.
Don't go yet.
I know a place we can crash for the night.

What if there's someone in there?
[Jeremiah] It's been closed for hours
and-and there's never any night guards. We're good.
Okay.
[beeps]
- [beeps] - Shit.
Not a great plan.
[Cam snorts]
It's from Avengers. RDJ.
"I understood that reference."
[both laugh]
Can you guys, like, not? For just two seconds?
Right.
[sighs]
[beeping]
Okay, there's got to be another way, right?
We can try the pool gate.
Uh, we could also use my mom's key code.
Wait, are you sure? Your mom?
Yeah, it's fine. She's the manager
- at the restaurant here, so... - I mean,
wouldn't she get in trouble, though,
if, like, someone checked the logs?
No, no. She works the randomest hours,
so that alone shouldn't raise any red flags.
So long as we don't make a mess, like, at all,
should be good.
[Jeremiah] They won't even know we're here.
Thank you for not being on that whale boat, Cam Cameron.
[Belly] Thank you.
- Thanks. - Thank you, Cam.
- Thanks.
[Jeremiah] Hello?
So what do we do now?
Ugh. Could we scavenge for food?
I need something in my system other than sugar.
Allow me to escort you to the kitchen.
Actually, wait. Can I come with you?
I have really specific snack requirements.
[Steven] Uh-uh, Taylor. No, you're coming with me.
We'll fashion, like, blankets out of, like,
- curtains and some shit. - [Taylor] No, I'm on snack patrol right now.
Okay. So? I need your loudest voice
to scare away all the murderers.
- Yeah, I'm Team Murderers. - [chuckles]
Okay, fine. No, I mean, as long as you're cool
with, like, sleeping on, like, dusty polyester sheets.
- I hate you so much. - [Steven chuckling]
Why do you need help with this?
- [Steven laughs] - [Taylor] What do you need me for?
All right, I think I know a place we could sleep.
Uh, you want to come?
Think I'm gonna go with Cam and Skye, actually.
[Belly] I'll catch up with you later.
Are you okay?
I never should have gone to the boardwalk.
[Belly] This is not your fault, Conrad.
There was no way you could have known what Julia was planning.
Maybe, but she never would have done it if I'd stayed back.
They fucking took everything.
And you heard Skye.
The house is going to sell fast.
No.
No, it's not over. I mean...
We're gonna figure something out.
[Jeremiah] Sometimes I hate myself
for how long it took me to notice it.
That invisible force between the two of them.
I wanted to tell Conrad that he had no right,
that he'd ignored Belly for all these years.
But it wasn't just up to Conrad.
It was Belly's choice, too.
So I forced myself to let it go.
There were more important things to worry about then, anyway.
What are you doing here? Don't you have class?
Yeah, class got canceled.
Thought I'd come see you and Mom.
Did Mom get the full-size Snickers for Halloween?
[Jeremiah] Mm-hmm.
You think Mom's insurance is going to accept
a sandwich bag full of receipts?
'Cause that's about all I got.
[Conrad] I'm sure it'll be fine.
If not, we'll figure something out.
So, how's...
you know, senior year?
It's fine, I guess.
Mom said you got homecoming king.
Yeah. I mean, the coronation was basically
preordained since freshman year.
- Right. - Yeah. So...
You take a date?
I went with Blake.
Oh, yeah. That's cool.
Are you seeing anyone?
You and I never really talked about what happened with Belly.
Jere, what happened last summer was fucked up.
I didn't even know that-that you two had kissed until after...
I was just hoping that you could...
What?
Give you my blessing?
I can't believe you came here like this.
You know what? Just do what you want.
You always do anyways.
Jere, I want to be with her.
And I... I really think that's what she wants, too.
But she's afraid of hurting you, Jere.
- Oh, is that right? - Yeah.
And it's tearing her up that you haven't responded
to her texts since last summer.
Yeah. Well, I've been busy.
Jere, I don't want you to hate us,
but I think about her all the time.
And it hurts, like, my chest physically hurts,
to not be able to tell her that I'm in love with her.
[Jeremiah] When your brother tells you something like that,
there's only one right answer.
Even if it doesn't feel right at all.
I'm not going to be the one to keep you guys apart.
So go for it.
Thank you.

[Jeremiah] Being around Belly this week
has made me remember all over again.
And my genius plan to stay pissed at her
and keep her at arm's length is a failure.
So I just keep telling myself over and over,
it'll never be me. It's always going to be Conrad.
Hey, Jere, wait up.
Hey.
I thought you were heading to the kitchen with Conrad.
Oh, no, they have plenty of hands. [chuckles]

But, you know, then he reminds me
how much I hurt him before.
I don't know. I'm like...
I shouldn't even be thinking about him like that.
[Skye] Mm-hmm. Almost got it.
[boys grunting, laughing]
Push, push!
- Put your back into it! - Oh, God!
All right. All right, this thing is officially dead.
Why don't we crash up there for the night?
Well, that would be perfect timing,
because I have discovered the secret of the apple bong.
Good job, Skye.
You know, that's surprising.
I have layers.
Great.
Start unpacking.
[indistinct chatter]
Taylor, volleyball camp is in four days.
It's not like they're going to drug test us.
Coach would have had to put that in her email, right?
What email?
The one that we got yesterday about camp.
Have you talked to Coach yet?
Um...
- No, not yet. - Belly, wait. Why?
I swear to God, if you bail on us again...
No, no, no. I'm not bailing. I want to go.
Okay, well, don't tell me. Tell Coach that.
Okay.
Okay, yeah. I'll text her right now.
- Yeah. Great. Here. - [Belly] All right.
You know, I-I... I really just don't want to...
I don't want to have to have a big conversation
with her about last season,
and, I don't know, I feel like
I just want to show up ready to play
- and prove myself on the court. - Okay.
I love that. It's very Killa B.
- [Belly] Right? - Yeah.
So I don't have to text her, right?
Give me your phone.
Mm...
[Taylor] This is ridiculous.
"Hey, Coach, I'm planning to come to camp next weekend.
I already talked to the rest of the squad
and they are cool with me coming.
Can't wait to see you on the court."
[Belly] Yeah, that's good. Yeah.
What's happening over here? Hmm?
We playing Truth or Dare or what?
All right. Yeah. You in?
Um...
I dare you to eat the apple bong.
[chuckles]
- [Taylor] Ew. - I'm not scared. I've done worse.
Yeah, we know.
We worked so hard on this.
[Steven] I am so sorry, Skye.
- I'm so sorry. - [Skye] And now it's...
[laughing]
What does it taste like?
It tastes so...
[gags]
Oh, my God!
- [Taylor shouts] - [Steven] Oh, my God.
- Gross. - Goddamn it!
Wait, wait. He knows he's going to have to clean that up, right?
We'll make him clean it up. We'll make him clean it up.
Apple all over my leg.
- [laughs] - You guys trying to keep playing Truth or Dare?
Conrad?
- I'm not playing. - Come on, dude.
- [Conrad] No. - [Jeremiah] What, you scared?
- [laughter] - Come on, man.
Where do you, uh, see yourself
- in the next ten years? - [Conrad exhales]
Here, honestly.
Coming back to Cousins.
Fourth of July barbecues,
digging for clams, serving with Jere...
- Making pomegranate margaritas. - [Conrad] Right, right.
I don't know, I just feel like
whatever kind of shit you got going on,
you just come back here, you forget about it.
Come on, man. Nobody's playing Truth or Dare right.
It's either you go big or you go home.
Agreed. This needs to get way more Euphoria.
Okay. Um... I'll give it a whirl.
- Hey. - [Taylor] Yay.
- Uh... - What you got?
Belly. I dare you to, uh,
kiss Jeremiah.

when everything changed.

[Taylor] Yeah.
Cam, you know the drill.
Yes. Truth, please.
What's your biggest regret?
- [chuckles] Um... - [Taylor laughs]
I'd probably say, um, not spending enough time
with my sister before she died.
- Whoa, I'm sorry. I didn't know. - It's okay.
- You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. - [Cam] It's okay.
It was ten years ago.
She was 16. Um,
I was just a kid.
I really looked up to her.
Mm, I still look up to her.
Does it get any easier?
Yeah.
It's always there, you know.
But, um...
the pain starts to, uh...
you know, feel more like a scar than it does a scab.
Like, sometimes something totally random will set you off.
Like, um...
a song she used to play for you or, um...
little yellow tree air fresheners
she had in her car and the...
pain just feels brand-new again.
But, um...
everything...
everything goes back to normal.
Eventually. Whatever the hell that means.
Yeah, the fuck if I know.
[Conrad] I'm sorry, man.
No.
I'm sorry about your mom.
She was really cool.
[yawns loudly]
[laughter]
Sorry, Taylor, where did we lose you there?
Oh, my God. No, you didn't lose me at all.
All right, just, like...
No, I really love talking about mental health.
Like, you should look at my TikTok.
It's, like, 70% therapists.
I'm just, like, really fucking tired right now.
Yeah, I guess it is getting kind of late.
I'll, uh, I'll go get you some blankets.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah, let's do it. - [Cam] Yep.
[Taylor] Is this camping? 'Cause I got
a badge for that shit in Girl Scouts.
[Jeremiah] Gonna take my leave.

Hey, um...
I'm, uh, I'm sorry if the dancing thing was weird.
It wasn't weird.

Hey.
[Belly] You want to go finish the movie?
It's kind of late.

Do I have BO or something?
I mean, I've never seen you turn down
a Truth or Dare kiss before.
Don't-don't do that.
Do what? I'm just trying to talk to you.
I mean, before, on the, on the boardwalk...
Just stop.
Okay?

Why don't you want to kiss me?
Because if I kiss you, I don't know that I can ever stop.
[Susannah] I'm sorry, Laurel, but you suck
- at taking pictures. - [Laurel laughs on video call]
I just wish I could be with you guys. [laughs]
[Belly] I'll make sure she gets some good ones, Susannah.
[whispers] Don't let it sit too long.
[whispers] Thank you.
Okay, now I-I want one with-with all the girls together.
- [camera shutter clicks] - [Jeremiah] I was annoyed
with Conrad that day,
with everything about him.
He'd gotten to take Belly to her prom,
and he'd acted like it was some big chore.
[Conrad] I don't have your corsage.
I must have left it in my dorm fridge.
[Belly] It's okay.
[Taylor] We got to go.
[Steven] Yes. Yes.
[Laurel] Beck, it's time for them to head out.
I'm just going to get a couple last pictures, okay?
I'm heading up to you tomorrow, first thing.
- [Susannah] Have fun, everyone. - [call beeps off]
[Jeremiah] If it had been me, I would have done it right.
I wouldn't have forgotten the corsage.
I'd have given her the perfect night.
Hey.
I'm ready for a little Marilyn.
You want to go a little cowboy with The Misfits,
or drag with Some Like It Hot?
[both chuckle]
Are you okay?
Conrad forgot Belly's corsage?
[sighs]
That's shitty of him.
[Susannah] He left it in his dorm fridge.
[laughs]
It was so beautiful, too.
He sent over pictures. Orchids.
[Susannah chuckles]
- Drink up. - [groans]
I'm sorry. They ran out of vanilla at the store, so...
[grunts]
...I hope you still like it.
It's okay. The little cocktail umbrella
kind of makes me feel like I'm having
a strawberry daiquiri or something.
It was Belly's favorite.
The virgin strawberry daiquiri at the club?
It's 'cause it always came with those little umbrellas.
I totally forgot that about her.
You always remember what makes Belly happy.
Yeah.
Oh, honey.
You still have feelings for her.
No, Mom. I-I got over that crush a long time ago.
You never let anyone see you hurting.
I'm fine, Mom. Seriously.
Yeah, well, sometimes I think
you're a little too good at being fine.
Well, isn't that what everyone wants me to be?
No.
Not me.
[sighs] This is all my fault.
I got so excited
at the prospect of Belly being with one of my boys.
It must have been so hard for you,
seeing her with your brother.
I don't want you have to worry about that, Mom.
Promise me.
You and Conrad will never let anything come between you.
You will always put each other first.
Mom, Con and I are fine. I promise.
You don't have to worry about that, okay? She chose him.
They-they chose each other and I'm...
I'm, I'm...
Her best friend.
This is just the beginning of your story, Jere.
And I-I can't guarantee anyone's feelings.
Or promise that no one will get hurt. But...
...the fun in life is figuring out
where the rest of the story goes.
Do you know what my graduation quote was?
Amelia Earhart.
"Adventure is worthwhile in itself."
Remember that.
I adore you, sunshine boy.
[Jeremiah] My dad always loved Conrad better.
Love you, too.
But I had my mom.
She was the only person who ever really saw me.
Her and Belly.
So, um...
What are you saying?
I don't know, Bells, it's complicated.
That thing you said earlier?
About "adventure is worthwhile"?
Did my mom tell you about that?
No, I...
I saw it on your graduation cap.
When my mom went, she, uh, recorded the whole ceremony.
I saw you get your diploma. Strut up to the stage.

I wanted to be there for your day,
even if it was, you know...
just through my mom's phone.
