Previously on
The Summer I Turned Pretty…
- It's only a few weeks.
- Then I get you all to myself.
[Jeremiah] I promise
we'll find a nice place to live.
I am seeing somebody,
and I want to bring her
to the wedding.
What's… what's going on right now?
[Belly] It's just starting
to feel really real.
That I've been so focused
on planning this wedding,
that I almost forgot
that I'm gonna be someone's wife.
Belly really needs her mom right now.
This wedding is happening,
and if you aren't there for her,
you will regret it
for the rest of your life.
- [laughs] I'm so happy you're here.
- Me, too.
[Laurel] So, I guess
I'll see you in a few weeks
for the big day.
What are you doing this weekend?
[Steven] You're saying you want
- to start your own company?
- Yeah.
I can't get your stupid-ass game
out of my head, Steven.
So, you and Denise, huh?
- I'm single now.
- If that's what you want.
I just want to be back
when Belly gets there.
It's not like she's going back to an empty
house, if that's what you're afraid of.
- Connie's gonna be there.
- Right.
- Got cut by a fin.
- Oh, my God, Conrad.
[Belly] What just happened?
What did I almost do?
[delicate, atmospheric music playing]
[phone chimes]
[ Sabrina Carpenter playing "Juno"]
[Belly] The wedding's almost here.
Jere's on his way,
and Conrad's surfing accident
feels like a distant memory.
Oh, yeah, you just…
It's like…
…a dream that happened to someone else.
I like the way you fit…
And the further away I get
from that moment,
the more I understand
that it wasn't about him at all.
It was the enormity of this wedding.
- Hey.
- Planning it by myself.
Not having Jere by my side,
or my mom.
It had weighed on me
more than I realized.
But I've made it through,
and in three days,
- I'm marrying Jeremiah Fisher.
- [Conrad] Fuck!
Son of a…
But two, though? ♪
Give it to me, baby ♪
You make me want to make you fall…
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
I was trying to fix the light
before everyone got here…
[Belly] All of a sudden,
he can't stop injuring himself.
[imitates electric shock] Looked
a lot easier on… YouTube.
Ah.
- Think I got it, though.
- [soft clicking]
- Please don't shock me.
- [switch clicks]
- [Belly laughs]
- [sighs]
[Conrad laughs]
- It's gotten a lot better.
- Great.
[somber music playing]
Um, I'm… I'm gonna go vacuum upstairs,
'cause it's…
- I'm just gonna…
- Yeah, I'm gonna do this, down here.
[Belly] Jere's gonna be here soon.
[atmospheric music playing]
[seabirds calling]
[exhales sharply]
When are you, uh,
when are you heading up to Cousins?
Want to maybe…
I don't know, you know,
like, ride together or…
[laughs softly]
- Hello? Earth to Denise? Hello.
- Oh, s-sorry.
Uh, I am emailing a friend in SF
for a lead
on A.I.-focused programmers, um…
and send, okay.
Ooh, it's kind of exhilarating, isn't it?
Doing all this clandestine shit
in our place of work?
We're violating, like, a hundred HR rules.
I mean, I don't know how, you know,
clandestine we're actually being.
- Oh, no, stop worrying.
- [stammers]
Anybody who matters has already left early
for the wedding, so…
Oh, my God, yeah, everyone but us.
I mean, you know, we're like, the hottest,
youngest ones here
and we're-we're stuck here working?
I don't… hey, come on,
make it make sense, you know?
[laughs] Hottest?
Uh, I mean,
"hottest" not including Jere. Uh…
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe we should, uh, catch the next train.
You know, I mean,
I-I don't want any of Belly's friends
trying to steal my bed or anything.
All right, well, dibs.
[stammers]
[laughs] On, on the aisle seat,
not your bed.
- Oh, yeah. No, I mean, I knew that. Duh.
- Yeah. Yeah…
- Yeah, yeah, sorry.
- Okay.
[laughs] All right.
[both chuckle]
[gentle music playing]
[engine shuts off]
- [car door opens]
- Hey!
[Jeremiah] Hey. Hi, beautiful.
Hi. [chuckles]
- [Jeremiah grunts]
- [laughs]
[sighs] Two more days
and I can officially call you my wife.
- Yeah.
- Mm.
- I know.
- [both laugh]
Hey, check it out.
I got some stuff for the gift bags.
- [grunts] Here's one.
- All righty.
Uh, beer koozies,
Takis Fuego and Smirnoff Ice.
Are we icing people at our wedding?
No, of course not. That would be crazy.
Just before and after.
We're-we're grown-ups, Belly.
- Come on.
- [laughs] Ah, totally. My bad.
Um…
Oh, uh, just for the boys to feel at home.
You know? Besides,
I've been busting my ass all summer,
and, uh, I just want to let loose.
Okay. As long as
you're not stoned at the altar.
- Not a chance.
- [laughs] Okay.
There he is.
- Hey.
- Let the festivities begin.
- [Conrad] How was the drive?
- It was great.
[Conrad] Where's Dad?
- Uh, I dropped him off at the inn.
- Oh.
- [both chuckle]
- Let me take that.
Yeah. Thank you.
So, you ready for tonight?
- [Jeremiah] Yeah.
- 'Cause I got an itinerary and everything.
Uh, we're gonna hit some bars.
- Okay.
- Uh, we're going to…
[chuckles] We're going to Mick's.
- Mick's. Love it.
- Uh, we're going to Red Branch.
- There's a list. I'll show you the list.
- [Belly sighs]
- [Jeremiah] You made a list?
- Yeah, someone had to.
[Jeremiah speaks indistinctly]
[Conrad] Bro, tonight is
going to be unbelievable.
[birds chirping]
Knew you wouldn't miss it.
[Laurel] Sure you helped a lot.
You got to be kidding me.
Adam brought his mistress.
That's Kayleigh?
[Laurel] Oh, God, they're coming inside.
[sighs]
- John…
- [Laurel] Hi, there.
…Laurel, this is Kayleigh.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I've heard so much about you both.
Likewise.
Well, I adore Belly.
She is an absolute doll.
- You must be so proud.
- [John] Yeah.
Yes, we are.
I should thank you
for helping with the wedding.
- Someone had to.
- Adam.
I spoke to Julia this morning.
She and Skye aren't gonna make it.
Oh, Julia's not coming? What a shame.
Be nice, Adam.
[Adam] What? She knows I'm kidding.
[Kayleigh] Laurel, um,
could you and I exchange numbers?
I have a few
mother-of-the-bride questions,
and, um, I'm sure
a million more will come up.
[Adam clears throat]
Sure.
And if there's anything I can help with…
Thank you. Yay.
[lighthearted music playing]
[doorbell rings]
[Belly] They're here.
[group chanting] Jellyfish,
Jellyfish, Jellyfish,
- Jellyfish!
- [laughter]
[Taylor] Happy bachelorette party.
Thank you.
- [Jeremiah] Hey, what's going on, guys?
- [Redbird] This place is amazing.
Hey, can you guys put
Taylor's bag in my room
- and Anika's bag in my mom's room?
- [Jeremiah] Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, thank you.
- [laughter]
[Jeremiah] All right, guys, follow me.
- [overlapping chatter]
- [laughter]
[Taylor] Oh, I'm so happy
to be in Cousins right now.
You have no idea.
- I'm so sick of hearing Lucinda's stories.
- [chuckles]
The same ones over and over again.
Like, I love my mom, I do,
but I, like, I literally don't care
that she made out with Dave Matthews once.
- Who's that?
- I don't know.
- I could use a drink.
- Yes, I can help with that.
Damn, I can see why
you've been waxing poetic
about this place for the last three years.
[laughs] I-I don't do that.
- Yes, she definitely does.
- Yeah.
Ooh. Share the wealth, please.
- At your service.
- Thank you.
[Jeremiah] Uh, Anika, this is, uh, Conrad.
Conrad, Anika. My brother.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you, too.
[Redbird] Yo, Jere, do you know where
I can find, like, an ashtray or something?
- Uh, over there in the drawer?
- Thank you.
Yo, are we doing beer pong
in here or what?
No, let's fire up the grill first.
- Can I get the lighter?
- Yeah.
Um, Jere, can we take that
outside, please?
- All of you?
- Oh, sorry.
- Yes.
- [Redbird] You're so in trouble.
- Can I have some of…
- [Jeremiah and Belly] Outside.
- Outside. Outside.
- [Jeremiah] Yo, Redbird, that's a plate.
- Inside?
- [Belly] Okay. Bye.
- Did she say "inside"?
- Go outside.
I need a drink.
[ M.I.A. sings "Paper Planes"]
[Redbird] Woo-hoo-hoo!
Those burgers look dope.
- [thud]
- Oh. That completely missed.

- I fly like paper

If you catch me at the border…
[Anika] So, this is my first bachelorette.
What's the deal?
- Me, too, actually.
- [Taylor] My God,
what would you people do without me?
Prepare yourselves
for Belly's last hurrah.
All right?
It's a debauchery-forward bar crawl
meticulously constructed by me.
We're getting lit, bitches,
- is what's happening.
- [Anika] Okay.
Uh, by the way,
which of these guys is single?
'Cause I need to at least make out
with somebody this weekend.
- Please?
- Hmm, uh, I think…
Ethan?
Blake is Jere's ex,
and Redbird's got dibs.
[Anika] Hold up, you're okay with Jere
having his ex at his bachelor party?
[Taylor laughs] My God, Belly does not
have a leg to stand on.
Um, her ex is the best man, remember?
Yeah, but that's, like, ancient history.
[Anika] Right, this group is messy.
[Taylor laughs]
What, have you hooked up with Conrad, too?
Oh, my God, no.
I did make out with Jeremy once,
the summer before seventh grade…
- What?
- …because Steven dared me to.
And I had to stand guard outside the door.
Seventh grade.
[both laugh]
You guys never told me how hot Conrad is.
I'd go for him if he wasn't
Belly's first love.
[chuckles] No. No, you should,
you should do it.
[guys in distance] Oh!
[quietly] Do not.
What about Steven?
I hear he's the other best man.
That's all you, maid of honor.
- We're just friends now.
- Oh.
As if you and Steven have ever
succeeded at being friends.
This time we are.
No, no, don't! No, don't do it!
[shouts]
- [laughter]
- No, no, no, you're not getting me.
[Denise] It's cute, though.
- It's a nice house.
- It is, it's very nice.
- I think 'cause summer's here, you know…
- [Denise] No, that's awesome.
- Uh, hey.
- [Taylor] Hi.
[sighs]
- [Denise laughs]
- [Steven] Oh, my…
Uh, uh, sorry, sorry, uh,
- you remember Denise, right?
- Yeah, we haven't officially met.
I'm Taylor Jewel, MOH.
Oh. Denise Russo, MBA.
[soft laughter]
Where's your stuff?
Are you, are you staying here or…?
Oh, no, no, I'm, I'm staying at the inn.
[Belly] Hey.
- Finally. Hi, guys.
- Hey.
[overlapping chatter]
[Jeremiah] Aw, I missed you guys.
Thanks for inviting me, dude.
- Of course.
- Uh, and hi, hi. You must be Belly.
Fisher never shuts up
about how great you are.
- Well, I've heard a lot about you, too.
- [laughs] Oh, God.
What terrible things has he said?
Mostly that you're a genius,
- so… [laughs]
- Oh, wow.
Well, that-that's fine, then.
That's okay. [laughs]
[Jeremiah] All right, I got the ice.
Come on, let's go make some margs outside.
Yes. Come outside, Tay.
[laughter]
You should probably get out there
before those idiots
try and, like, push her in the pool
or something.
- What, Denise?
- Yeah.
All right, she can handle herself.
She eats finance bros for breakfast.
[chuckles]
There's a vibe between you guys. Cute.
Does that mean Hurricane Taylor's
about to strike?
Oh, my God, no, stop.
We're friends now, remember?
You sure it isn't, I don't know, like,
weird to talk about this stuff with you?
No, it's definitely not weird.
Like, I-I want you to get laid.
In fact, friends help friends get laid.
Wait, wait, okay…
you want to be my wingman?
Sure.
- I'd be honored to be…
- All right, all right.
- …your wingman.
- All right, Tay Tay.
I trust you.
So don't do me dirty.
I would never do you dirty.
When have I ever?
- Mm. Mm-hmm. Sure.
- Okay.
[Steven scoffs]
[Taylor] Tell the girls we need
to rehearse the reception dance.

Do you want to go viral or no?
- No.
- No.
[Belly] I hope the guys

- Sweet baby, our sex has meaning…
[Denise] Oh, wow.
This is so cringey.
- Oh, you know you love it.
- Oh, my God.
- [Blake] Conrad, get it together.
- [Conrad] Oh, fuck, sorry.
- Sorry, I fucked that one up.
- Really, dude?
- I fucked that one up.
- All right.
Can we just take it from the top?
Can you just restart it?

[Blake] Anyone else want a beer?
Is your weight on your fingers

- Yeah, I think your palms.
- It is?
- Yeah. Pretty much.
- Okay.
- You want?
No, I'm good.
- You sure?
- Yeah, I'm good.
You know I pretty much gave up weed?
Belly hates it, and, um,
I got to stay sharp for work.
I'm sure you're stoked for the summer
to end, huh, get out of there?
It's not that bad. Actually, um…
[ Olivier Bibeau plays "Right Here"]
I'm right here, you know I'm right here…
Yeah, actually, this morning, um…
Dad offered me a full-time spot
at the firm in the fall.
And I just will finish up
my classes online.
You said no, right?
No, no, uh… I don't know.
I just, I need some time
to think about it.
I just want you to do
something you love with your life.
Something that makes you happy.
I don't know what I want
to do with my life. I'm 21.
- I just know I want to be with Belly.
- No, totally, totally. It's just…
you can do better
than following in Dad's footsteps.
Just slow it down now…
[indistinct chatter outside]
Hey, I never got the chance to thank you
for all the work you did on the house.
It looks great.
Honestly, it was just good
to be of some use this summer.
[Jeremiah chuckles]
And you looked after
my girl all summer, too.
Got me figuring out,
you know I'm right here…
[Denise laughing] Yes.
You bitches up for some beer pong?
I owe you an ass-beating
from last semester.
Yeah, right. You're on.
- Yeah?
- [Jeremiah] I'll get more beers.
Guys, look. I found these huge glasses.
Wait, but, uh…
Never mind.
[contemplative music playing]
[laughter outside]
What are you doing?
It's not your job. Go play some beer pong.
- [glass shatters]
- [Anika] Oh!
[Redbird] Shit.
Think that was one of our hurricane vases.
- [door opens]
- Well, at least they're being used, right?
[door closes]
Uh, hey, guys, uh, bad news.
We broke a vase.
- [Conrad] Mm-hmm.
- Yes, we heard, um…
- Was it Redbird?
- Yeah.
I'll clean it up.
No, it's okay.
Um, Jeremiah and I can do it.

You look so pretty.
I've missed you all day.
I've been right here.
Yeah, with, uh, Taylor and Anika.
Okay, you've been hanging out
with your bros all day.
I know, I know.
And I haven't been around that much
because of work.
I just feel like I haven't seen you
in so long.
We haven't had any time alone.
Give me a kiss.

That better?
[chuckles softy]
I have to finish doing my hair.
We have time.

- I don't want to be hungover
- tomorrow, so…
- Hungover? What, two shots?
Hungover from two shots?
Wait, does that mean that your body count
is just Jeremiah and his brother?
- [laughs]
- I'm shook.
Do you ever, like, compare who's better?
The real question is: who's bigger?
No… whoa. No… uh, hello?
- We're gonna stop talking about that.
- I'm sorry.
Uh, it's okay, because you know what?
You're gonna pay for this.
So… [sarcastic laugh]
Hi, uh, could we have
ten shots of tequila, please?
It's-it's my bachelorette.
- Okay, all right, yeah.
- Thanks.
Um, since my number is so low,
I'll just borrow from you guys.
- [Taylor] Oh, yeah.
- All of mine?
I knew my ho phase was gonna bite me
in the ass one day, and today's the day.
- I'm scared.
- [Belly] I know, thank you.
- Thank you.

- Look at us.
- Gang's back together.
- It's good to be back, dude.
- [Jeremiah] Yeah.
- We haven't been here in a while.
Hey, come to think of it, have we ever
done downtown Cousins as, like, adults?
You know, like, without fake IDs?
[Jeremiah] Adults? But don't you
still use children's toothpaste?
- [laughs]
- It's 'cause I like the flavor.
All right? And toothpaste is toothpaste.
- Jere just won't shut up about this.
- No, it has Moana on it.
[Steven] Moana is literally
the most elite princess anyways.
Oh! Jere just opened his big mouth
to try to take heat off of
everyone at work calling him a nepo baby.
Denise still calls me Wayfarer.
- [Jeremiah chuckles] Really?
- Yeah.
Dude, what's up
with you and Denise, by the way?
Are you guys… together?
No, but they should be.
I mean, she's the only other person
that's smarter than you and Steven.
And she's as hot as Taylor,
so I don't know what his problem is.
[Steven] I don't have a problem.
- I hate both of you guys so much.
- [phone buzzes, chimes]
One sec. Redbird wants another joint.
[Steven] Okay.
You're lucky I haven't told her
about the Germione fan fic.
Good luck, bro.
- [laughs] Oh, my God.
- That's a throwback.
Yeah.
Speaking of Denise, though,
where is she, actually?
Dude, are you really gonna make a play
for her with Taylor right here?
Yeah. She's fine with it.
I mean, she's actually my wingwoman.
- Mm. All right.
- What about you, hot stuff, huh?
There are a lot of girls here.
Come on, man.
It's Jere's night.
Jesus, can't Kiki figure out
anything on her own?
- This is the fifth text tonight.
- Kayleigh.
- Whatever her name is.
- Laur…
you can't be that pissed
about a few texts.
Of course it's not the texts.
Cousins was Susannah's place.
Bringing her here is
like a slap in the face.
You're not pissed she's here.
You're pissed Susannah's not.
I can't believe she's missing this.
I know.
[chuckles] She would've begged
for us to go along tonight.
- [chuckles]
- I never had a bachelorette.
Excuse me? You did so.
You and Susannah left me
with Adam and newborn Conrad.
- You went to this strip club.
- [laughs]
Yes, that's right.
Someday I'll have to tell Steven
- he got his first lap dance in utero.
- [laughs]
[sighs] I can't believe
you forgot that night.
Well, I remember the important parts.
Like, later, when I came home inspired.
That was memorable.
You never did get a repeat performance.
- Nope. Don't give me that look.
- What look?
Don't. I'm not going down
that road with you.
Not… not after
the shame spiral from last time.
Really?

Don't marry him.
Be with me.
You will never be what Jere is to me.

And he loves me no matter what.
