Episode 8 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Season 3 Premieres Amid Explosive Love Triangle Revelations

Los Angeles, August 27, 2025 - The eagerly awaited eighth installment of Prime Video’s hit YA drama The Summer I Turned Pretty (Season 3) arrived in the early hours today, delivering emotional showdowns and raising the stakes in the central love triangle.
The new episode went live at 3 a.m. ET (12 a.m. PT) on Prime Video, as announced by Forbes earlier this week. Within minutes of release, social media channels were ablaze with fan reactions to Conrad’s raw confession and Belly’s torn loyalties.
In Episode 8, viewers witness the fallout from Conrad’s late-night beach confession in which he begs Belly not to marry his brother Jeremiah, declaring, “I still love you” and urging her to rethink her choice. While Belly initially attempts to dismiss Conrad’s plea-insisting the two “were never anything”-she ultimately collapses in tears, caught between her past with Conrad and her future with Jeremiah.
The episode opens with wedding preparations in full swing at Cousins Beach. Though Belly and Jeremiah carry on with fittings and bachelorette festivities, Belly’s emotional distance is palpable. Conrad, haunted by the revelation of Jeremiah’s earlier infidelity, can no longer contain his feelings, leading to a heart-wrenching confrontation under the moonlit shoreline.
Fans have praised Lola Tung’s portrayal of Belly’s inner turmoil and Christopher Briney’s portrayal of Conrad’s vulnerability, calling the episode “a masterclass in tension” on social media platforms. Many speculated that the televised storyline may diverge from Jenny Han’s original novel, We’ll Always Have Summer, in which the wedding is also called off, but under different circumstances.
With just three episodes remaining in the final season, Episode 8 sets the stage for a dramatic crescendo. Industry observers note that tonight’s release will likely bolster Season 3’s already strong viewership, following the series’ 40% increase in premiere ratings over Season 2 earlier this summer.
As the summer heats up in both story and real-world fan excitement, viewers can expect the fallout from tonight’s cliffhanger to dominate online conversations until the next episode arrives.
