The Summer I Turned Pretty S3E7 Recap
Season 3, Episode 7 of The Summer I Turned Pretty—aptly titled “Last Hurrah”—delivers a gut-punch of emotion: a wild joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend, flashbacks woven with creeping doubt, and a stunning beach confession that leaves Belly shattered.
The Ocean Scene & Emotional Confession
Set against the rolling waves of Cousins Beach, Episode 7, “Last Hurrah,” plunges us into chaos. A joint bar crawl devolves into revelry with tequila shots, bar dances, and weed gummies, only to segue into something far more profound. At the heart of it is the beach moment: Belly arrives, intending to meet Jeremiah but instead finds Conrad, vulnerable and raw, revealing Jeremiah's betrayal and begging, “Don’t marry him. Be with me.”
The Book References & Flashbacks
Quick flashes take us to childhood moments, Conrad finding young Belly late at a glass-blower’s shop, gifting her the unicorn she adored reminders that he’s always been her protector and constant. That emotion carries into every glance and every memory this episode.
Callbacks to Old Seasons
Stylistic and narrative callbacks run deep: Belly’s dark gray tee Taylor Swift color symbolism for “missing him” hints she’s still fixated on Conrad. The bachelorette/bar crawl scene echoes the debutante ball from Season 1, complete with reception dance rehearsals that recall early traditions. And the final gesture, Belly knocking on the wall is a haunting callback to Season 1, where she’d knock to signal to Jeremiah that she’s there. Now, with Jeremiah too drunk to respond, it signals a growing emotional gap.
Music & Taylor Swift
Music continues to be a language of emotion: we hear Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends” amid Belly’s flashbacks. The emotional climax trains us with a cover of “When The Party’s Over,” perfectly echoing earlier heartbreak scenes. And the episode closes with Taylor Swift’s “loml,” underscoring just how deeply Belly is unraveling.
The Clocks & Numerology Easter Egg
Clock watchers, take note: the episode airs at 3:50 AM ET / 12:50 AM PT, which numerically spells 3 + 5 + 0 = 8, hinting perhaps that Episode 8 will be a real crusher of an episode as the wedding looms ever closer.
Quick Bachelor in Paradise Update
In Season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise, four couples are still going strong heading into the finale: Spencer & Jess, Alexe & Andrew, Kat & Dale, and Jeremy & Bailey. The reunion is set for September 3, and it'll likely offer plenty more updates—and maybe a few curveballs.
