Belly appeared to have overlooked Jeremiah's wrongdoings as she shared news of their intentions with her mother Laurel Park (Jackie Chung), who was appalled by the entire situation. The programme will explore how Belly and Jeremiah proceed to handle their romance despite their parents' objections. Numerous fans were left incensed about the betrayal and questioned why Belly would pick Jeremiah over Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) following the double-episode series opener that launched last week. Speaking about Jeremiah's unfaithfulness, leading actress Tung revealed to Elle: "Young love is intense" and described it as "pure shock" for Belly.

The Summer I Turned Pretty's latest Season 3 Easter Egg that fans probably missed
The latest episode featured a subtle scene that could hint at Belly's endgame *Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3* The Summer I Turned Pretty's latest episode featured an Easter Egg that could be good news for Team Conrad. Based on the much-loved YA novels by showrunner Jenny Han, the latest season follows Belly (portrayed by Lola Tung) as she navigates life at university. In addition to her education, she's also wrapped up in a long-term relationship with Jeremiah Fisher (played by Gavin Casalegno). However, when Belly's ex-boyfriend and Jeremiah's elder brother, Conrad (played by Christopher Briney), re-enters their lives, she is forced to reconsider her feelings for the older Fisher boy. Episode three, released on Prime Video on July 23, sees the trio reunited for Susannah Fisher's memorial. Viewers see the Conklins and Fishers at lunch, where Belly's mother Laurel (played Jackie Chung) announces she is footing the bill. Upon hearing this, Adam Fisher (Tom Everett Scott) orders the most expensive entrée on the menu, the Surf n Turf. Jeremiah follows suit, echoing his father's $75 request. However, Conrad takes note that Belly had ordered an affordable starter for her main, and opts for the cheapest item on the menu, the Seared Salmon Fillet. The scene is significant because the Fishers are portrayed as far wealthier than Belly's family. Therefore, they could have ordered inexpensive items out of consideration for Belly's single mother. Although the scene is fleeting, viewers have noted that it signifies that Conrad is a better partner for Belly because he is more attentive to her family dynamic. This has left supporters of 'Bonrad' theorising that this scene is yet another Easter Egg teasing the pair's eventual reunion. Taking to Reddit, one viewer voiced: "Not Conrad choosing the cheapest entrée. I can't. I let out a squeak and cry. Oh my goodness this boy. I love him too much." Others were quick to praise the Fisher brother, with a second writing: "He knows Laurel and is so considerate. I love this man." A third viewer, who completely missed the Easter Egg, penned: "Oh. That's what that was about." "It's the little things like attentiveness and thoughtful consideration that make Conrad so amazing. He is so in-tune with her needs," said a fourth. But others defended Jeremiah, with one arguing: "Don't offer to pay at an expensive restaurant like that with a table full of young men who will eat you out of house and home if you cannot afford it. It was a silly gesture that Adam won't even appreciate. Let him pick up the tab, it's the least he can do." While the lunch exchange may have scored points for Conrad, Jeremiah and Belly later revealed to their families that they are engaged. And, as of episode three, the pair intend to go through with their marriage.

Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 soundtrack in full
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3* The Summer I Turned Pretty has kicked off its third and final season, with main character Belly Conklin still at the heart of a brutal love triangle. Adapted from showrunner Jenny Han's beloved YA novels, the latest series follows Belly (played by Lola Tung) as she navigates life as a university student. Alongside school work, she is also juggling a long-term relationship with Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno). But when Belly's ex-boyfriend and Jeremiah's older brother, Conrad (played by Christopher Briney), returns into their lives, she is forced to face her unresolved feelings for the older Fisher brother. The Summer I Turned Pretty's third series has already featured huge pop songs (Image: Amazon Content Services LLC) While the series packs plenty of its drama on its own, Prime Video viewers have also grown to appreciate the show's impressive soundtrack. It has also become tradition for the series to drop Easter Eggs through needle drops, especially when it comes to Taylor Swift songs. Below, we've detailed The Summer I Turned Pretty's season three soundtrack so far, and explained what *that* Taylor Swift song could mean for the characters. Dreams by the Cranberries Open Arms by SZA Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers FRI(END)S by V Get Loud by Coi Leray HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan Summer Love by Justin Timberlake reason to live by mehro NANi by Saweetie Lovin on Me by Jack Harlow Dilemma by Kelly Rowland and Nelly Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan i like the way you kiss me by Artemas You're Losing Me (From the Vault) by Taylor Swift Episode 1's Taylor Swift song spells trouble for Team Jeremiah (Image: Prime Video ) The series premiere ended on a sour note as Belly discovered that Jeremiah had cheated on her while on Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. As Belly ran away from Jeremiah, who was desperately trying to explain himself, Swift's You're Losing Me began playing. The song's lyrics detail a long-term relationship that is on the brink of collapse, despite the singer's efforts to keep it alive. If this song signifies Belly's state of mind, it appears she has been fighting to keep her relationship with Jeremiah strong, but his betrayal may be the final straw. What's more, lyrics in the song's bridge could be hinting at Jeremiah and Belly calling off their engagement, which takes place in the second episode. Swift sings: "And I wouldn't marry me either. A pathological people pleaser." You're Losing Me is the only Swift song featured in the season so far, which could mean Team Jeremiah are in for an unsatisfying ending. lacy by Olivia Rodrigo i wish i hated you by Ariana Grande Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' by Brenda Lee Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens Forever and a Day by Benson Boone Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish Littlest Things by Lily Allen Everything Happens to Me by Bill Evans Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter 10,000 Emerald Pools by BØRNS No Surprises by Radiohead The Summer I Turned Pretty streams every Wednesday on Prime Video
