The highly anticipated seventh episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, titled "Last Hurrah," delivered the emotional gut punch fans had been bracing for, setting the stage for the series' ultimate conclusion. Streaming on Prime Video as of Wednesday, August 27, 2025, this pivotal episode plunges Belly Conklin into a maelstrom of pre-wedding jitters and resurfacing feelings, all while the dark shadow of a devastating secret looms over Cousins Beach. The tension between the Fisher brothers—Conrad and Jeremiah—reaches a fever pitch, forcing Belly to confront the reality of her impending marriage and the man she truly loves.

The episode’s narrative is a masterclass in romantic suspense, picking up just three days before Belly is set to marry Jeremiah. While the atmosphere should be one of pure celebration, Belly’s internal monologue and stolen glances reveal a profound sense of doubt. The "Last Hurrah" is supposed to be a joyous send-off, but for Belly, it quickly becomes a painful reminder of the summer she turned pretty and the path not taken with Conrad.

Character Profile: The Core Triangle in Season 3

The entire emotional weight of "Last Hurrah" rests on the shoulders of the three main characters, whose biographies and current emotional states are crucial to understanding the episode's high-stakes drama.

  • Isabel "Belly" Conklin (Lola Tung): The protagonist, now a young woman on the cusp of marriage to Jeremiah Fisher. She is grappling with the ghosts of her past relationship with Conrad and the realization that her wedding to Jeremiah might be a choice made out of comfort and fear, rather than true, all-consuming love. Her voiceover confession that she "only ever pictured Conrad" for her wedding is the emotional anchor of the episode.
  • Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney): The elder Fisher brother. He is visibly annoyed and emotionally strained by the impending wedding, struggling to hide his true feelings. His protective nature is heightened in this episode as he uncovers a major betrayal, leading to his climactic, desperate confession. He represents Belly's first love and the deep, intellectual connection she can't shake.
  • Jeremiah Fisher (Gavin Casalegno): The groom-to-be. Jeremiah's focus in "Last Hurrah" is on having a fun, consequence-free night with his friends, which only exacerbates Conrad's frustration. He is portrayed as emotionally non-committal and insecure about the marriage, with his actions revealing a self-centeredness that contrasts sharply with Conrad's turmoil. His past mistake comes back to haunt him, shattering the illusion of his perfect relationship with Belly.
  • Laurel Park (Jackie Chung): Belly's mother, who arrives in Cousins Beach for the wedding festivities. Her presence adds a layer of maternal concern and a grounding force, as she is often the first to sense Belly's inner conflict.
  • Steven Conklin (Sean Kaufman): Belly's brother, who is part of the "Last Hurrah" celebration, caught between the loyalty to his sister and his complicated relationship with the Fisher brothers.

The "Last Hurrah" Bachelor/Bachelorette Party: Secrets and Suspicions

The central event of the episode is the joint bachelor/bachelorette party, a night of drinking and dancing in Cousins Beach that is meant to be a celebration but quickly devolves into a pressure cooker of unspoken truths. Belly, Jeremiah, Steven, and their friends hit the town, attempting to recapture the carefree spirit of their earlier summers.

However, Belly is constantly distracted. A recent, erotically charged moment with Conrad after his surfing accident in the previous episode has left her reeling, forcing her to question her commitment to Jeremiah. Throughout the party, every song, every glance, and every shared memory seems to pull her back to Conrad. She is physically present with Jeremiah but emotionally distant, her heart caught in a loop of "what ifs."

Meanwhile, the tension between the Fisher brothers is palpable. Conrad is increasingly irritated by Jeremiah's apparent nonchalance about the seriousness of marriage. This annoyance is rooted in a deeper, more painful discovery that Conrad makes during the episode: Jeremiah cheated on Belly during a period when they were together. This revelation is the explosive secret that Conrad carries, fueling his desperation to stop the wedding and protect Belly from a man he now sees as unworthy.

The Crushing Beach Confession: Conrad’s Final Stand

The climax of "Last Hurrah" takes place on the beach, a setting that has been the backdrop for so many of Belly’s most significant—and often tragic—romantic milestones. As the party winds down, the emotional dam breaks. Conrad, unable to hold the secret of Jeremiah's betrayal and his own enduring love any longer, confronts Belly.

In a raw, desperate moment, Conrad confesses that he is still deeply in love with her. This is not a casual admission; it is a plea, a final, fervent attempt to save her from a lifetime of regret. He lays his heart bare, telling her everything she needs to hear—the words he couldn't say before, the feelings he thought he had buried. The scene mirrors previous heartbreaking beach moments between the two, amplifying the emotional weight for long-time fans of the series and the Jenny Han books.

However, the confession is met with a painful rejection. Belly, defensive and perhaps afraid of the chaos a reunion with Conrad would bring, pushes him away. She is days away from her wedding and has invested years in her relationship with Jeremiah. To accept Conrad's love now would mean tearing her life apart, a consequence she is not yet ready to face, despite her own deep-seated feelings. This rejection is a major turning point, momentarily solidifying her path toward Jeremiah while simultaneously devastating Conrad.

The Aftermath: The True Meaning of "Last Hurrah"

The episode’s title, "Last Hurrah," takes on a double meaning by the time the credits roll. It is the last hurrah before the wedding, but it is also Conrad's last hurrah—his final, grand attempt to win Belly back before she is legally bound to his brother. The emotional fallout for the main characters is immense.

  • Belly's Turmoil: After rejecting Conrad, Belly is seen in her room, the weight of her choice pressing down on her. In the final moments of the episode, she knocks on the wall that separates her room from Conrad's. This small, silent action is a massive cliffhanger, signaling that her emotional connection to him remains potent and that her "rejection" was perhaps a defense mechanism rather than a true statement of her heart.
  • Jeremiah's Blindness: Jeremiah remains largely oblivious to the emotional magnitude of the evening. His focus on the party and his inability to see the depth of Belly's conflict or Conrad's pain highlights the fundamental difference between him and his brother, a difference that will be central to Belly's final choice. His secret of cheating, now known by Conrad, is a ticking time bomb set to explode the wedding.
  • Conrad's Despair: Conrad is left heartbroken on the beach, having risked everything and lost. His confession, though rejected, forces the central conflict of the series—the love triangle—back into the spotlight with an undeniable urgency.

This episode is the definitive bridge to the finale, forcing Belly to confront the central truth of the series: her love for Conrad. The "Last Hurrah" is a beautifully constructed piece of television that uses the backdrop of a celebration to amplify profound emotional pain, leaving viewers on a knife's edge as they await the final episodes and Belly's inevitable choice. The wedding is now a race against time, with Conrad holding the secret that could stop everything, and Belly holding the key to her own heart.
