Turned Pretty Season 3:In the warm haze of summer, when hearts fluctuate the most confusingly, The Summer I Turned Pretty has teased its fans again—this time with a new trailer and a first look at Season 3, Episode 8. With the stakes higher than ever, the love triangle between Bailey, Conrad, and Jeremiah is set to come to a head, and the preview gives us just enough to swallow: hope, heartbreak, and tough choices.
Setup: What’s at stake now?
By the time we reach Episode 8, tensions have reached a fever pitch. In the previous episode, Conrad professed his unwavering love for Bailey, a moment filled with vulnerability and shock. Bailey rejected him—insisting that their previous relationship was never as meaningful as Bailey had shown him—but her subsequent tears told a different story.
Meanwhile, Bailey is preparing to marry Jeremiah, the brother she chose last season. Now, faced with conflicting emotions, fans are eager to see how she will reconcile her heart’s desires with her current situation.
Episode 8, scheduled to release on Prime Video on August 27, 2025 (12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET), promises to be a turning point.
What the Trailer and First Look Reveal
The new trailer begins almost serenely—close-ups of Bailey’s face, the shimmering ocean, and the world reduced to internal conflict. But then an emotional undercurrent surges: we see Jeremiah’s eyes suspiciously, noticing the way Conrad looks at Bailey.
We see Conrad’s longing, his internal struggle, and Bailey’s own wavering resolve. It’s as if every frame whispers, “You can’t go back now—not really.”
What stands out most is the tension in small gestures—Bailey’s pause, her glance back, her lips quivering, and the look in Conrad’s eyes when he thinks he’s invisible. The trailer ends with ambiguous scenes: does she turn to him? Or does she walk away? It refuses to give us clarity.
The first-look images (released alongside) show Bailey in soft, contemplative light, often alone or in quiet company. There’s a sense of introspection. The visual tone reflects the agony of decision-making: both its burden and its beauty.
What’s Likely to Happen
Based on what we already know from the trailer and press, here’s what many are hoping (and fearing):
- Jeremiah’s Confrontation: The trailer reveals that he notices Conrad’s presence and confronts Bailey about it. This confrontation could force him to open up about his inner conflict.
- Breakup or Wedding Cancellation: The pressure could prove too much—rumors and reports suggest that Bailey may cancel the wedding and finally confess that she never fully got over Conrad.
- Lemon Jelly Belly Moment: A particularly poignant moment in the press coverage suggests that Bailey may secretly say “Lemon Jelly Belly” to her mother—in their words, a sign of distress and vulnerability. It’s small, but profound.
Conclusive - Conrad’s Quiet Heartbreak: The trailer gives Conrad few words, but many glances. He can be a silent witness rather than a grand gesture, his emotional struggle unfolding in subtlety rather than drama.
Why this episode matters
Episode 8 isn’t just another entry—it feels like a door. Viewers have been waiting for someone to cross the threshold, for something to break, for a decision to be made. The show has woven deep themes into its summer romance: identity, belonging, the burden of choice. Here, it all comes to a head.
For fans, this is the moment they’ve been waiting for—or dreading. Will Bailey finally reveal the truth? Will this triangle be resolved, or will the heartbreak continue? The preview doesn’t promise closure, but it does promise consequences.
A breath before the storm
The trailer ends not with certainty, but with silence. The ocean, the sunset, Belly walking—perhaps toward or away from something. This silence is heavy. It reminds us: sometimes what’s not shown is just as powerful as what is shown.
If this show has taught us anything, it’s that love is complicated, times are difficult, and growth often comes through the most difficult paths. Episode 8 is set to showcase all three. Get ready, because by the end of this hour, things may be unsalvageable—and that’s where the real story begins.
