‘TSITP’ Set Video Hints at What Happens After Belly Sees Conrad at the Airport

by

In the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” on Amazon Prime Video, a key video scene implied the events following Belly’s airport encounter with Conrad at the end of Episode 8. The most recent episode concluded with a painful confrontation between Belly and Jeremiah, culminating in their wedding being cancelled due to Jeremiah’s withdrawal after Belly admitted she still harbored feelings for Conrad, thereby jeopardizing their relationship.

Towards the end of Season 3, Episode 8 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty“, we see Belly returning to the Fisher’s summer house to gather her belongings and bid farewell to the house and her cherished memories of Conrad and Jeremiah. With tears in her eyes, Belly departed towards the sunset, and subsequently, we see her arriving at the airport.

Does Belly See Conrad at the Airport In the Book?

In the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” I took a major leap from the source material when my character, Belly, made a bold decision to jet off to Paris for my junior year of college without any hesitation. Just as I was about to embark on this exciting new adventure, an unexpected twist occurred: there he was, Conrad, standing at the airport. As the clock ticked down and the boarding call echoed, I found myself contemplating whether to seize the moment and engage with him or play it cool and hop aboard the plane. The episode concluded with me pondering my next move.

Some observant fans have noted a subtle detail while Belly glances at the departure times – it turns out that Belly and Conrad are scheduled to leave at 10:20 p.m., according to Paris and San Francisco’s schedules. Given that Conrad is set to return to California for his new position at Garth, there’s a high likelihood they won’t have a chance to chat at the airport because of their overlapping flight times.

Astute fans have spotted an interesting detail as Belly checks the departure times – it transpires that Belly and Conrad share the same 10:20 p.m. takeoff time, according to both Paris and San Francisco’s timetables. Since Conrad is bound for California and a new job at Garth, there’s a strong possibility they won’t have a chance to converse at the airport due to their conflicting flight schedules.

In episode 8, the ending scene where Belly encounters Conrad at the airport was not part of the original storyline from the book. This could be the initial significant indication that the series might delve deeper into Belly’s personal growth and self-exploration in a new land before embarking on another romantic relationship.

An earlier video clip from “The Summer I Turned Pretty” hinted at the show spending a portion of its storyline in Paris, given that Lola Tung was captured on camera portraying her character Belly in various Parisian settings.

Although the video focused on Lola’s belly and Jeremiah (played by Gavin Casalegno) reconciling, online sources indicate that Christopher Briney, who portrays Conrad, is also in Paris. This suggests possible filming of scenes featuring Conrad in the city.

A video shared by Instagram user @jennyjfitch revealed Christopher Briney exiting Gare du Nord station in Paris, as another fan claimed to have spotted Lola Tung at the same location in November 2024.

reddit user u/Substantial_Tea_3950 noted that the set of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” secured permission to film at Gare du Nord Station. Therefore, it’s likely that the main actors shot a scene or scenes together at this location.

As a devoted fan, I recently stumbled upon a TikTok video by user @laurelmichele, which showcased Sean Kaufman, portraying Belly’s brother, Steven, and someone identified as Briney casually strolling through the enchanting streets of Paris. This sighting not only brings a smile to my face but also strengthens the belief that Briney was indeed filming scenes as Conrad in this romantic European city.

It’s quite possible that the events taking place during Belly’s stay in Paris, as portrayed in “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” deviate significantly from those in the books. This change opens up numerous possibilities for an engaging and thrilling narrative, particularly since Conrad’s presence in Paris could provide intriguing plot twists.

It might be that the story takes a brief time leap, as this seems to be an essential part of the healing process for Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. Post this time leap, there could be a fitting resolution between Jeremiah and Belly, making it easier for Conrad to chase after his beloved.

How Belly & Conrad Ended Up Together in ‘Summer I Turned Pretty’ Book 3

In “We’ll Always Have Summer”, the last chapter through Belly’s narration offers a brief insight into the events following the cancellation of their wedding. After an emotional farewell between Belly and Jeremiah, he resumed living at the fraternity house, while Belly chose to live with Anika instead.

During her junior year, she traveled to Spain instead of Paris, experiencing numerous exciting escapades there.

While Belly was in Spain, she didn’t cross paths with Conrad. However, during that time, Conrad attempted to rekindle their connection by writing heartfelt letters to Belly by hand. Eventually, they reunited a year later, when Belly met Conrad once more at her college graduation.

It seems clear from the book that their reunion at Belly’s graduation may have marked the start of their romantic relationship, as it skips ahead to show them getting married, suggesting a progression towards marriage soon after. We’ll Always Have Summer

The book appears to suggest that Belly and Conrad might have started dating at their graduation reunion, as the narrative quickly moves on to depict them as married individuals. This implies a swift progression towards marriage following their reunion in We’ll Always Have Summer.

In my film review perspective, I’d rephrase it like this: I myself noticed a hint of closure between Belly and Jeremiah as they both graced the same wedding altar, each accompanied by different partners – an indication that Jeremiah has undeniably forged a new path.

In the last part of the book, Belly and Conrad can be seen dashing towards the beach, preparing to move towards the reception hall. In her thoughts, Belly exclaims, “We are now married. Our bond is endless. It’s Belly and Conrad forever.
