NEED TO KNOW
Astute fans have noticed a possible easter egg for The Summer I Turned Pretty’s ending after watching the Wednesday, July 30, episode.
In season 3, episode 4, Belly (Lola Tung) begs her mother Laurel (Jackie Chung) to go wedding dress shopping with her, while Laurel disapproves of her engagement to Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno) on account of their ages and Belly’s status as a college student.
While dress shopping with her best friend Taylor Jewel (Rain Spencer) and her mom Lucinda (Kristen Connolly), she settles on a simple floor-length white satin gown – but because of her tight budget, they are shopping in a prom dress store. A near-exact replica of the season 2 prom dress Belly wore with Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) is seen in the background.

In the scene, the lavender floral-decal and chiffon dress can be seen hanging from a hook in the fitting room behind Belly. Since Conrad was Belly’s first love before Jeremiah, some fans feel that this could be a hint that she ends up with Conrad due to her lingering feelings for her history with him.
One user wrote in a post shared on X about the scene, “her choosing a simple/plain dress but the one in the back looks just like her prom one which reminds us belly doesn’t just want simple.”
Others cracked jokes about the simplicity of the dress after the tiny engagement ring that Jeremiah gave her the previous week. “belly’s wedding dress at least it’d match the small ring Jeremiah got for her lmfao #tsitp3 this is so unserious oh my lord .. ‘wedding dress’ from a prom dress store mind u,” another user wrote on X.
The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on author Jenny Han’s series of novels of the same name originally published in 2009, follows Belly (Tung, 22) as she navigates adolescence, and a love triangle between brothers Jeremiah (Casalegno, 25) and Conrad Fisher (Briney, 27).
While viewers share the easter eggs they spot every week, Han’s books conclude with Belly choosing Conrad over his brother Jeremiah, ending the long-running love triangle. However, some viewers aren’t convinced – especially since Han, 44, once said that she doesn’t like “too neat of an ending” in an interview with the Wild Card with Rachel Martin podcast.
