Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty has me in a chokehold, and I don’t even know how it happened. Season 1? Binge-watched in a day like a sane person. Season 2? Couldn’t be bothered until this July. But this season? This season has me camping out at the edge of my seat every Wednesday like it’s a Taylor Swift ticket drop.
And now… we’re down to the finale. Tragic. I even had a dream (yes, an actual REM-cycle dream) that the finale was TWO episodes, each an hour and 40 minutes long. If that isn’t my subconscious screaming “manifest it,” I don’t know what is.
So here I am, spiraling with questions:
- Is it just one episode, or will Amazon finally do something nice for once?
- Did Belly pull a “new season, new me” and chop all her hair off?
- Will Denise commit the ultimate crime and get with Jeremiah?
- Is Taylor’s mom going to show up with another hairstyle that deserves its own Emmy?
- Will Jenny Han crush our souls by wrecking John?
- Will Laurel actually take John back and be nice about it?
- Is Kayleigh secretly pregnant, or was that just my 2 a.m. TikTok brain talking?
- Will Belly and Conrad finally—finally—be on the same page long enough to form a complete, healthy relationship?
- And most importantly: will Conrad get the happy ending he deserves, or do I need to start a petition?
I have zero answers. Only angst. And as Conrad Fisher so eloquently put it: “F*ck you. Uncertainty sucks.”

I do, however, have a set of BINGO cards to use while viewing the final episode! Click below to download!
