Well, summer really is over. It's raining. The skies are grey. The people are grumpier. And The Summer I Turned Pretty, the TV show adaptation of the iconic love triangle novels written by To All The Boys I Loved Before author Jenny Han is wrapping up next week.
The third season of the hit show picked up with Belly and Jeremiah still together after four years of dating. It felt like things are finally settled for good (if you're Team Jeremiah, that is), but as we all know, things very much weren't and it's only a matter of time until Conrad entered the chat again.
It's been quite a ride. A quick recap that, unfortunately, will only make sense if you've actually seen it: A secret Christmas in Cousins. Conrad got a new watch. A Cabo cheating scandal. The microscopic engagement ring. Handyman Conrad. A squabble over a two-tier, dark chocolate mirror glaze cake with a raspberry coulis filling. Peaches. Surfing wounds. Floaty Doën tops. An Air tag commercial. Belly in Paris. And here we are. With just one episode left.
Belly's final summer in Cousins is upon us — but which brother will she pick?
After Belly and Jeremiah called it quits moments before walking down the aisle, Belly jetted off to Paris (as you do). After confronting a thief in a nightclub (as you also do), she settled into an Emily Cooper-worthy getaway, complete with dashing French boyfriend, impossibly chic flat and a wardrobe full of Sézane. Ok, great, we did miss Emily in Paris. But when is Belly getting to Cousins? More specifically, when is she getting back to Conrad? When is the next episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty?
Sadly, there is only one (1!) episode of the whole thing left. Here's exactly when you can watch the long-awaiting finale.
The beloved show joins the ranks of TV favourites getting the reboot treatment.

What can we expect from the final episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty?
We are kind of in uncharted territory here. After all, in Jenny Han's books, the end of the saga wraps up kind of abruptly after the non-wedding. Spoilers, but we learn that Belly studied abroad and eventually got together with Conrad and they married. And that's it. We don't find out how or when or why.
In show, we've already seen a lot more. We've seen Belly in Paris! We've met Benito! We've seen her actually be with someone who isn't a Fisher!
In the finale, we can probably expect to see how she and Conrad finally get together. However, that being said, it could surprise us. Han and the cast have been clear that the ending to the show may shock book fans, after all.
“I always knew how I wanted to end the books,” Han told Elite Daily. “But with the show, I went into it with an open mind. I wanted to approach it with fresh eyes and just see what sort of magic happened on screen.”
She added, “I am somebody who is always changing things up. People will be like, ‘Why are you changing that? That was working well!’ But to me, it could always be better. That's how I approach everything, so naturally I was going into this story feeling like I wanted to make it even better and try new things.”
Make of that what you will.
