If you thought The Summer I Turned Pretty was just going to hand us another season of moody Fisher brothers, oceanside tears, and Belly ping-ponging between Jeremiah and Conrad — think again. Season 3’s finale dropped the mic with one scene: that train station kiss. It wasn’t just lip-locking; it was the end of a love triangle, the rebirth of a ship, and the moment fans realized Jenny Han was playing the long game. Let’s get into it, because yes, Belly finally chose, and yes, fandom wars are officially settled (well, kind of).
Our girl Belly decided she was not about to play house with Jeremiah Fisher. She called off the engagement, left him in the dust, and jetted off to Paris. Très chic move. Instead of being defined by which Fisher brother she was dating, she said, “pass the croissants, I’m finding myself.”
Jeremiah, bless his soft boy heart, was left sulking like a prom date who got ditched for a better afterparty. He’s out of the triangle by mid-finale, and honestly? It was overdue. Fans knew Belly was never going to walk down that aisle in Cousins Beach.
And then—like the most predictable plot twist we all still screamed over—Conrad Fisher shows up in Paris. Officially, he’s there for a conference. Unofficially, he’s there because Belly is his endgame and he knows it. Don’t let that buttoned-up excuse fool you.
Their reunion wasn’t painted in fireworks and violins. It was awkward at first, layered with unsaid words and nostalgia. Paris rooftops, casual wine nights, and meaningful stares—it’s like the writers took every Team Conrad fanfic on Wattpad and gave it Amazon Prime money.
The build-up? Delicious. The payoff? Even better. Belly finally stops running from her own heart and delivers a confession so dramatic, it’s practically begging for a viral TikTok edit:
“If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you.”
Translation: Jeremiah stans, it’s time to log off. Belly sprints through a train station (because of course), throws her feelings on the line, and seals it with a kiss. Endgame confirmed.
Not everyone ends up heartbroken in a corner. Jeremiah finds closure—he might not get Belly, but he gets peace (and maybe a culinary career, if those hints weren’t just filler). Honestly, the boy needed to step out of the triangle anyway.
Meanwhile, Steven and Taylor officially go from “are they or aren’t they?” to couple goals. If Belly gets her Fisher brother, her bestie deserves her own glow-up romance. Balance restored.
Fans were on edge: would the show actually stick to Jenny Han’s We’ll Always Have Summer ending? The answer is yes… with upgrades. Instead of Spain, Belly studied in Paris. Instead of a neat little bow, we got a more emotional, layered finale that felt very 2025.
Team Conrad fans? They’re living. Jeremiah fans? They’re screaming into group chats. Jenny Han didn’t just copy-paste her epilogue—she gave us a finale that felt authentic, modern, and, let’s be real, meme-worthy.
That kiss wasn’t just two pretty teens making out in a train station. It was closure. It was Belly owning her story, choosing love, but only after choosing herself first. The messy journey, the tears, the back-and-forth—it all led to this. And whether you’re Team Conrad or Team “I’m just here for the drama,” you can’t deny the finale nailed it.
So there you have it: The Summer I Turned Pretty ended not with a whimper, but with a kiss that blew up fandom timelines. Belly ditched the safe choice, picked the boy she’s always loved, and gave Conrad the redemption arc he’s been brooding toward since episode one. Jeremiah’s fine (probably), Taylor and Steven are thriving, and Jenny Han just reminded us she knows how to play with our hearts like a pro.
Love triangle? Closed. Team wars? Settled. Belly’s story? Prettier than ever.Still crying over that train station kiss? Sip the tea and stay in the loop at CoutureCue.
