It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, and why team Conrad girlies have been losing their minds - the season finale of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ season 3 drops tonight!
A huge spoiler alert incoming, but if you’ve clicked this far, you’re asking for it.
At the end of the last episode, we left off with Belly doing what any girl looking for a fresh start does - get a haircut, duh… and Conrad on his flight, headed to Paris to find Belly.
We are anticipating a HUGE reunion to finally round off the most chaotic love triangle story to ever exist. But with so many loose ends, fans have shared their best guesses at what we can expect from tonight's episode.
They're doing their best to predict ‘Will Conrad find Belly?’, ‘Will she be in Mexico with her new beau Benito?’ ‘Will Belly take Conrad back?’, ‘Will we see the infinity necklace back around Belly’s neck?’ … and ‘WTF will her haircut be?’
We are eagerly awaiting the answers to all of these questions. So before we find out, let’s run through the top and most plausible theories floating around online.
FYI, one is devastating enough to make you question what you’ve been watching the last three seasons.
Will Belly choose herself?
Some fans are seriously considering the option that Belly might choose herself… as if we’ve not just waited YEARS for her to make up her mind on who she wants to be with.
It’s not a possibility that’s going down well among Team Conrad. “We did not come this far for Belly to choose herself,” one TikToker wrote.
Is Conrad dead?!
I told you one would be devastating, and it’s already got me SOBBING about whether it could be the case.
One TikTok theory predicts the death of Conrad, suggesting that the subtle mentions of heart disease might mean that Connie baby dies - but not before reuniting with Belly in Paris.
The fan thinks that Belly and Conrad “will have their beautiful moments before he passes away, and this is what brings everyone together”.
They back up the prediction with Belly having mentioned “Life is too short not to spend it with the one you love”, and that she’s been retelling their love story after Conrad passed, which is why each season has been narrated so heavily.
Belly returns home for her dad
Sharyn Casey has shared her own theory on her ‘A Little Bit Extra’ podcast and we’re kinda not mad about this one.
She refuses to believe the idea of Conrad’s death (FAIR!!!) and instead reckons he will save the day!
“I think there will be a medical episode with Belly’s dad, and Conrad will either save him or attempt to save him.”
Because of the medical episode, Shaz reckons Belly will “come home from Paris, reunite with Conrad and finally get back together.”
“They [will] both move to Paris, BING, BANG, BOOM, the happy ending we’ve all been looking for.”
Aside from Belly and Conrad, Shaz thinks that Jeremiah’s story will end not with the setup of him and Denise that appears to be playing out… no, no, no… she thinks Redbird (his frat mate) will be his true love story.
Will there be more ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ episodes?
Is this actually the end? Some fans think that more episodes could come after tonight’s episode.
One TikTok points out the use of multiple uses of the number 14 being sprinkled throughout the show.
With Taylor Swift playing the soundtrack to much of the three seasons, has the show’s creator, Jenny Han, taken a leaf out of her easter egg book?
Will there not be just 11 episodes… will there actually be 14?
Whatever the outcome is, I just hope we find out how Junior Mint has felt about this whole rollercoaster between Belly and Conrad - I could sit through a whole season just from his perspective.
