Belly’s Paris Dilemma: Will She Choose Love or Her Dream?

by

In the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” hints were given about whether the character Belly Conklin (played by Lola Tung) travels to Paris in the final chapter of the Prime Video series. The love triangle between Belly and the Fisher brothers, Jeremiah (portrayed by Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney), continues to unfold in this romantic drama. Although Belly made her decision at the end of Season 2 by choosing Jeremiah, there are indications that she may still harbor unresolved romantic feelings for Conrad.

In the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” we skipped ahead three years from where we left off in season two. This means that Belly is now a college senior, Jeremiah is on the verge of graduation, and Conrad is studying at Stanford University, advancing his medical career. Although each character is progressing in their lives, it was Belly who received significant news in the first episode of this season.

Does Belly Go to Paris In Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3?

In Season 3 Episode 1 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” we learn about a significant development in Belly’s academic journey: she has been officially accepted into the study-abroad program in Paris, which was previously only on a waitlist. This opportunity will have her spending her fall semester in the charming city of France. Yet, this decision is not without hesitation, as it would mean prolonged separation from Jeremiah for several months.

The situation changed when she discovered that Jeremiah had to redo a semester to graduate, as he needed additional core classes due to the change in his major. However, this didn’t deter Jeremiah from persuading her to go anyway, as Paris was her dream and he wanted her to fulfill it.

As Belly was still undecided about accepting the amazing offer in Paris, she was blindsided by the news that Jeremiah had been unfaithful with Lacie during their spring break vacation in Cabo. Shattered by his infidelity, Belly ended her relationship with Jeremiah and seemed to have firmly decided to take up the opportunity in Paris.

In Episode 2, Jeremiah made an effort to reconcile with Belly, but a shocking turn of events occurred when Steven (Belly’s sibling) was involved in a car crash following a disagreement with Taylor (Belly’s close friend). Recognizing that life can be fleeting and embracing the philosophy of seizing every moment, Belly chose to forgive Jeremiah. By the end of the episode, it appeared they had reconciled, and Jeremiah even popped the question, which Belly accepted, leading her to potentially shelve her plans for Paris.

Despite initial doubts, it appeared that Belly’s plan to visit Paris would indeed proceed, as a video (from Teen Vogue) revealed Lola Tung filming scenes in the city with Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah. In the footage, they are seen embracing, suggesting a possible reunion after being separated for several weeks or months.

In “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Season 3, it’s uncertain exactly when this particular scene occurs in the series timeline because the show often moves between past and present events due to time jumps. However, since this scene is set in Paris, it seems likely that we might see this happen towards the end of the season (possibly in Episode 5 or 6).

It seems as though Belly being in Paris might suggest a delay in her upcoming wedding with Jeremiah for now.

Did Belly Go to Paris in the Books? Here’s What Happened

In “We’ll Always Have Summer” (the third book in the “The Summer I Turned Pretty” trilogy by Jenny Han), Belly opted for a study-abroad trip to Spain rather than Paris, choosing this path to take some time for introspection and distance herself from the tumultuous relationship dynamics involving Jeremiah and Conrad.

After her marriage to Jeremiah ended due to his realization that Belly and Conrad were more suited as a couple, she then relocated to Spain.

As a movie-loving soul during my junior year, I found myself studying overseas in Spain. To reignite our connection, I embarked on a journey of penning and personally delivering heartfelt letters to my beloved, Belly.

He expressed that despite the passage of many years, his feelings for her remained unchanged. At first, Belly didn’t respond, but later on, she yielded, which paved the way for them to rekindle their relationship. Eventually, this long-awaited reunion brought them a joyful closure after being separated for so long.

The last season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” is adapted from Jenny Han’s book with the same title. The cast includes Lola Tung, Gavin Casalegno, Christopher Briney, Sean Kaufman, Jackie Chung, and Rain Spencer. This romantic drama made its debut on Amazon Prime Video on July 16, 2025.
