The sixth episode of Season 3 of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" kicks off with Belly and Jeremiah waking up in Adam’s abode, where Belly has been residing for a fortnight, much to Adam's chagrin. They manage to persuade Adam to grant Jeremiah a morning reprieve so they can embark on an apartment hunt. They stumble upon a charming apartment that captures their hearts, but Jeremiah's less-than-stellar credit score thwarts their efforts to ink a lease. As they venture into other options, Jeremiah's patience wears thin, anxious about missing an essential meeting at work. A minor spat ensues, but they ultimately decide to persist in their search.
Upon returning to the Cousins' residence, Belly awkwardly exchanges greetings with Conrad. The following morning, she encounters Paige, who is meticulously planning the wedding at Adam’s club. Their conversation delves into myriad details, including an intricately crafted, anatomically correct heart ice sculpture. Belly phones Jeremiah, voicing her concerns that the wedding's scale is becoming too daunting, but he reassuringly tells her they will navigate through it together.
At the office, Denise and Steven appear to be in excellent sync, with Denise even inviting him to join her over the weekend. However, he politely declines, reminding her that Belly's bridal shower, hosted at Taylor’s house, coincides with that time. Meanwhile, Jeremiah catches Adam in a seemingly intimate moment with Kayleigh in his office.
After wrapping up her duties at the club, Belly returns home to find Conrad has thoughtfully saved her some food in the fridge. Hours pass, yet she remains untouched by the meal. Later, Conrad meets Laurel at a restaurant, hoping to convince her to attend the wedding. He opens up about Belly’s lack of appetite and somber demeanor, to which Laurel appears keenly aware of Conrad’s underlying feelings for Belly.尽管如此, he insists that his desire is for Belly and Jeremiah to be blissfully happy together.
On the weekend, Denise arrives at Steven’s doorstep with a bold proposition – she wants to collaborate with him to launch a gaming company, inspired by his creation. As the day of the bridal shower dawns, Belly steps into Taylor’s house, greeted warmly by a throng of her friends and, to her surprise, Laurel. They embrace, tears welling up in their eyes, as the festive celebration begins.
Meanwhile, Adam, Conrad, and Jeremiah embarked on a quest to find the perfect suits. As they drove back, Adam unburdened himself about his burgeoning relationship with Kayleigh. Jeremiah took the revelation in stride, but Conrad, privy to Adam's infidelity with Kayleigh behind Susannah's back, was less than pleased. His sour mood lingered through lunch, where Conrad confessed that he had been dismissed from his school internship.
At the bridal shower, Belly confessed her contemplation of keeping her maiden name. During a trivia session focused on Jeremiah, Belly was quizzed about his first pet. She fondly recounted Rosie, a stray dog that Jeremiah had supposedly rescued from the streets. However, Steven contested this, insisting that it was Conrad who had found the pup. Troubled by the discrepancies in her recollections, Belly admitted to Taylor that the wedding was starting to feel all too tangible.
Later, Taylor eavesdropped on an exchange between Steven and Denise, in which Steven suggested they become friends, to which Taylor readily agreed. As the festivities drew to a close, Laurel presented Belly with a heartfelt bridal shower gift: her passport and an airline ticket for her honeymoon with Jeremiah. Belly eagerly called Jeremiah to share the delightful news from her mother. During their conversation, the topic of Rosie arose again, prompting Jeremiah to correct Belly - it was, in fact, Conrad who had found Rosie, not him.
That evening, Belly nestled into a nostalgic movie-watching session with her mother at their home, a ritual they had cherished since her childhood. A flashback transported her back to her younger years, where she watched "Bye Bye Birdie" with wide-eyed wonder and later sang the title song, her thoughts drifting to Conrad.
Belly eventually found herself back at the Cousins' house, immersed in wedding preparations. Conrad, seeking solace, went surfing and returned with a deep gash on his leg. Belly tenderly bandaged his wound, a moment that drew them unexpectedly close. As she assisted him to his room, she was left puzzled and introspective, wondering what had just transpired between them. This time, she mused, it was entirely different from their peach-fueled encounter; it was purely driven by her own feelings.
