Revealed: The Reason Behind Conrad and Belly's Split in Season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty
In the latest episode of the popular series "The Summer I Turned Pretty," protagonist Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) took centre stage, narrating season three, episode five. This episode provided a unique and intimate look into Conrad's thoughts and feelings, offering a fresh perspective on his relationship with Isabel "Belly" Conklin (Lola Tung).
The episode sheds light on the cause of Belly and Conrad's breakup four years ago. Conrad admitted that he had struggled to show vulnerability, partly due to his pride and his own personal challenges like losing a summer job. It was Belly who initiated the breakup, a fact that surprised viewers who had only seen parts of their miscommunication from her perspective earlier.
This breakup has deeply affected their relationship in subsequent episodes, creating emotional distance but also unresolved feelings and deeper, more mature interactions. In the same season, especially during episode five narrated from Conrad’s point of view, viewers see moments of intimate, grown-up tension and affection between them—such as when Conrad gently wipes peach juice from Belly’s mouth—which signals that their feelings are far from over and possibly setting them on a path toward reconciliation.
This perspective helps clarify past misunderstandings and foreshadows how Belly might come to recognize the reality of their relationship beyond her earlier "dream" version, potentially paving the way for their reunion as the storyline progresses.
The love triangle between Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) remains a central theme, with fans speculating that Belly's misremembering will lead to a self-realization about their relationship. A specific car scene in episode five is generating a lot of discussion among fans, adding to the anticipation for the next episodes, which are anticipated to reveal how Belly's self-realization might impact her relationship with Conrad.
This nuanced portrayal underscores the series’ theme of complex young love evolving through communication and self-awareness. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
