The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 10: New Flames, Old Wounds, and Belly’s Never-Ending Chaos
Chhavi Jain 
Whew, besties. Just when I thought this season couldn’t wring me out any further, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 10 came swinging with romance sparks, heartbreak gut-punches, and enough drama to fuel another Cousins Beach summer. Between Belly cozying up with Benito in Paris, Jeremiah breaking our hearts all over again, and the Fisher brothers finally finding peace at Susannah’s grave, this episode had me crying, screaming, and throwing my remote (in that order).
A New Chemistry: Belly and Benito?
First up: Belly and Benito. I’m sorry, but did anyone else feel their chemistry just leap off the screen? Benito brings a kind of grounded warmth Belly hasn’t had in her Fisher entanglements. Their laughter, their casual closeness—it’s giving effortless, and for once, Belly doesn’t look like she’s drowning in her own confusion. But—and it’s a big BUT—do we really trust Belly not to ruin this too? Because history says otherwise.
And while Belly is busy playing Parisian romance tourist, back at home, Jeremiah and Denise might just be cooking something unexpected. Was it subtle? Yes. Did I squeal anyway? Absolutely. Their bond feels tender, like two people who’ve carried too much heartbreak finally finding a moment of ease together. Is it romantic or just emotional comfort? Too soon to say, but it’s enough to make me raise an eyebrow.
The Fishers and their Heartbreak
Now let’s talk heartbreak. Jeremiah standing outside that house at Christmas, unable to go in, was brutal. The ache in his face, the weight in his body language—it screamed of someone who has lost more than just love. And then his quiet, soul-baring conversation with Laurel? Gutting. But the moment that gave me both heartbreak and relief was when he was on the phone with Belly, finally realizing it was time to let her go. That sigh, that acceptance—it wasn’t defeat, it was growth. I cried, besties. Real tears.
And then came the Fisher brothers’ conversation at Susannah’s grave. Pass me all the tissues. Watching them finally speak, not as rivals, but as brothers weighed down by grief and love, was the catharsis we’ve been waiting for. The rawness, the unspoken forgiveness—it was pure, soul-shaking television.
What About Conrad and Belly?
And let’s not forget Conrad’s letters. Sweet, vulnerable, romantic beyond words. Each one a reminder that, at his core, Conrad has always loved Belly in the quietest, most enduring way. But here’s the million-dollar question: does Belly even deserve Conrad… or Benito? Honestly? No. She’s already broken Jeremiah, toyed with Conrad, and now risks dragging Benito into the chaos. Belly’s love story isn’t romantic anymore—it’s reckless.
Which leaves us with the cliffhanger question: will Conrad actually meet Belly in Paris, or will she be tucked away at Benito’s grandmother’s, playing out yet another chapter of indecisive romance? If Conrad shows up and finds her gone… whew, prepare the tissues again.
Final Words
Episode 10 gave us heartbreak, growth, and glimmers of new love. But at its heart, it reminded us that while Belly keeps spinning in circles, it’s the Fisher boys—and maybe Benito—who keep bleeding.
And me? I’ll say it louder this time: Belly doesn’t deserve either of them. Period.
