The Summer I Turned Pretty fans 'work out' S3 ending after spotting Easter Egg
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3.
The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are convinced they've uncovered a hidden clue hinting at Belly's endgame. Drawing from Jenny Han's cherished book series, the teen drama has launched into its third and concluding series.
This chapter centres on protagonist Belly Conklin's (Lola Tung) choice between remaining with current partner Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno) or pursuing lingering emotions for his sibling Conrad (Christopher Briney).
The opening two episodes are currently available on Prime Video, with subsequent instalments scheduled for Wednesday releases.
Following the debut episodes, audiences have highlighted striking similarities between the teenage series and beloved comedy Friends, sparking speculation about potential character developments.
During the opening episode, Belly uncovers Jeremiah cheated on her during Spring Break, whilst their relationship was experiencing difficulties. Upon this revelation, she confronts her partner demanding answers, reports the Mirror US.
"I didn't mean for this to happen, it was a mistake," Jeremiah protested. Belly then retorted: "A mistake?
"Like what you tripped and you fell on top of her naked?" Jeremiah explained: "It happened when we were on a break. When we were broken up."
Viewers have noticed that the dramatic scene bears a striking resemblance to the infamous break up between Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) in the beloved sitcom. During their relationship hiatus, Ross ends up sleeping with someone else, leaving Rachel absolutely furious when she discovers the truth.
When challenged about his actions, Ross protested: "It was a mistake, I made a mistake!" Rachel's incredulous response was: "A mistake?"
"What were you trying to put it in, her purse?" Ross eventually justifies his behaviour by declaring: "I though we were broken up."
Jeremiah's desperate apology to Belly eerily echoes Ross's emotional plea to Rachel. Both characters are shown on their knees before their partners, desperately seeking forgiveness.
Fans were swift to spot the parallels, with one TikTok user commenting: "As soon as he said 'we were on a break' I was like what is this Friends?"
Another quipped: "Welcome back Ross Geller," while a third observed: "The fact that Belly's and Rachel's lines are almost identical."
Some viewers have theorised that this seemingly deliberate nod could be foreshadowing Belly and Jeremiah ending up together at the end of season three, mirroring how Ross and Rachel ultimately reconcile in Friends.
One fan noted: "Only difference [is] Rachel walked away and Belly is getting married," prompting another to point out: "I mean Rachel still ended up with Ross and his baby..."
Other social media users concurred, speculating that Belly and Jeremiah might reconcile and possibly start a family. After the second episode, which depicts Jeremiah proposing to Belly, this theory could hold some weight.
However, viewers will have to patiently wait for the upcoming episodes to see where this dramatic love triangle is headed.

Why the viral Sylvanian Drama soap operas have gone quiet online
The social media account Sylvanian Drama, which has frequently gone viral for its darkly comedic skits featuring small, anthropomorphic animal toys, mysteriously went quiet this year after it landed in legal hot water with the toys' maker. Epoch, the Japanese company behind the toys, sued the account's creator earlier this year, claiming that she has been 'doubling her efforts to exploit Epoch's copyrights and trademarks for her own commercial gain' despite the company's attempts to work the issue out amicably. Sylvanian Families, also known as Calico Critters in the United States and Canada, are felt dolls in the shape of cute, anthropomorphized animals. They were first released in Japan in 1985. The creatures range from bunnies and kittens to squirrels and more, all with wide, black eyes and tiny clothing. Online, Irish content creator Thea Von Engelbrechten has taken the adorable creatures and given them backstories with mature themes, putting them in real-world scenarios that aren't as innocent or family-friendly as the dolls themselves appear to be. Her Sylvanian Drama page has 2.5 million followers on TikTok and 1 million on Instagram. The videos, all of which feature Calico Critters, often rack up millions of views each. In these soap opera-style clips, the critters might be getting drunk, doing drugs, committing violence or doing other unsavory things. Epoch's lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on April 7, initially flew under the radar but drew attention online last week when some outlets reported on the situation after noticing months of silence from the account. The Irish Independent was the first to report the lawsuit. The company accused Von Engelbrechten of copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition. It stated that she has been prominently featuring Calico Critters products in videos without permission, including for commercial purposes by advertising for other brands' goods and services. The lawsuit added that she also uses a copyrighted image as Sylvanian Drama's social media profile picture. Von Engelbrechten declined to comment. Attorneys for Epoch did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The lawsuit underscores the potential tensions that can arise when creators use branded materials as drivers of their content. Early gaming creators faced similar legal pushback when using copyrighted games and characters in their videos, for example. The case against Sylvanian Drama is the latest to highlight how the creator economy straddles the line between user-generated content and copyright protections. Von Engelbrechten's account has become so popular in recent years that some on the internet have begun to associate the toys with the Sylvanian Drama account more than the official Sylvanian Families or Calico Critters brands. In its lawsuit, Epoch wrote that Von Engelbrechten has caused 'irreparable injury to Epoch's goodwill and reputation,' noting that the brand was originally intended to engage children. Von Engelbrechten began posting Sylvanian Drama videos in 2021, when she was a 19-year-old multimedia student at Dublin City University. She told The Tab in a 2023 interview that her videos were meant to parody shows like 'Gossip Girl' and 'Pretty Little Liars.' 'I'm always surprised that I'm not already canceled for the stuff that I do,' she said. 'I don't mean any harm and also … a lot of the issues that I joke about are problems in my own life. There's a lot of stuff about weight and dieting and people struggling with that, and that's all just me joking about myself. So I'm not making fun of anyone.' The account hasn't posted on any of its platforms since January. Its latest video was a paid partnership promoting 'Squid Game' shortly after the release of the hit Netflix show's second season. (The lawsuit noted that Sylvanian Drama has similarly advertised for the likes of Kate Spade, Sephora, Burberry, Hilton and Taco Bell.) Epoch claimed in its complaint that TikTok had previously removed allegedly infringing videos from its platform after the company served a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice in October 2023. But because it was not able to work out a permanent resolution with Von Engelbrechten, Epoch wrote, it 'had no choice but to file this lawsuit' this year. The company, which demanded a jury trial, sought an order declaring that Von Engelbrechten infringed its copyrights, as well as an order prohibiting her from infringing any copyrights in the future. It also asked for damages of up to $150,000 for each copyrighted work infringed, plus all profits made by Von Engelbrechten as a result of the alleged infringement. According to a court document this month, however, Epoch and Von Engelbrechten are now 'actively engaged in settlement discussions' and planning to submit a joint letter with a proposed plan to move forward. Von Engelbrechten has until Aug. 8 to respond to the lawsuit, with the initial pretrial conference slated for Aug. 14.

OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London. As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators. Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more. While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up. Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform. "Whether you're uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states. For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest. It isn't limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
