The Summer I Turned Pretty

Previously on The Summer I Turned Pretty...

I couldn't be alone with her. I wouldn't be able to keep it in.

Keep what in?

That I loved her.

We just got to keep doing what we're doing.

-They'll come around. -It's been two weeks, Jere.

Which leaves us six weeks until the wedding.

But it's gonna take more than coffee runs

to get your dad on board with this wedding.

I found the dress, but my mom didn't come.

I won't be a part of it. I will not be at the wedding.

Fine, then I will leave

so you don't have to watch me do anything anymore!

Conrad?

Uh, are you guys just here for the weekend?

I was thinking of staying here for a little while.

So are you gonna be my best man or not?

Wow, really?

I'll be back before you know it. I promise.

How are we supposed to do this without both of our moms?

Your mom owes, like, ten grand.

I'm not going to New York anymore.

I heard Jere has a second best man now.

-Happy belated birthday. -Thank you.

Of course.

What have I done?

It's been a week, and I can't stop replaying it in my mind.

What it felt like to be that close to her again.

It was like being hit by a fucking thunderbolt.

It's a lot easier when I don't have to look at her.

Hey.

-Morning. -

-Hey. -What are you doing up there?

-I was just-- Oh. -Shit. Sorry.

No, it's all, it's all good. It's all good,

-I have another one. Thank you. -Okay.

-I'm gonna... -

Hey, Dad, what's going on?

Con, how are things out at the house?

Good. Yeah, I'm doing some work on the roof right now. What's up?

Whoa, what work on the roof?

Do you want me to call someone out there, or...

No, I got it, Dad.

O-Okay. All right.

Look, I just want to check in with you

on the whole Belly-Jere wedding situation.

Have either of them said anything to you?

No, it's not really my business.

But we both agree it's a little absurd.

I don't know if I'd say absurd, Dad. I mean, they love each other.

Connie, you can't possibly think this is a good idea.

It doesn't matter if I think it's a good idea, or you think it's a good idea.

It's their decision.

You really don't think there's anything I can do to put a stop to it?

You'll lose him if you try.

Like I lost you?

I used to want to be just like him.

Football, school...

I worked really hard to be someone he could be proud of.

He was my hero.

Until I found out who he really was.

Conrad?

Yeah, I got to go, Dad.

I just have to stay away from her until the wedding.

And then she'll be my brother's wife and I won't think of her that way again.

Hey, hey. Um, sorry.

I-I didn't know my dad was coming to the office today because of the Fourth,

but he's here, so, I need to be here for at least an hour.

Are you serious? I woke up before dawn so we could beat holiday traffic.

Should've made your ass take the bus.

Steven's not coming.

He's on his way to New York for the weekend.

Okay. Like I care where he is.

Sorry you wasted a cute outfit.

Okay, you can still take that bus. You want to take the bus?

Hey, I'm very appreciative.

-Okay? -Well, I'm doing it

for your girl's happiness, so...

Have you talked with her?

Is she freaking out?

Budgeting is so stressful.

I never thought I'd hear a Fisher boy talk about budgets.

This is fun.

Um, look, she has a lot on her plate right now,

but she'll be okay once we get to Cousins.

But also, you're our bitch this weekend, so I hope you know that.

You said Steven left town, you said he was in New York.

Well, I guess he heard my dad was in the office.

Who's the Shiv Roy wannabe?

Uh... Denise.

She and Steven are always fighting over who's the alpha at the office.

Well, we both know it's not you.

That's Taylor.

Okay, yeah, I'm gonna get far, far away from whatever this is about to be.

Uh... wh-what are you doing here?

Uh, she's giving me a ride to Cousins.

I'll text you later.

Okay, I'll be at Dunkin'.

All right.

So, you're, uh... you're going to Cousins?

Yeah, Belly and I are gonna knock out a bunch of wedding planning.

Nice. Nice.

Um, how have you... how have you been?

Um, I've been good.

-Okay. -Been good.

And, um, thanks for helping out with my mom.

How'd you do it?

I mean, you know, how'd you come up with the money?

OnlyFans, duh.

Oh.

-Uh... -I'm joking.

Oh, I-I would've supported you.

Either way. I-I'm a fan.

Not your OnlyF--

- -Um...

You used the money you had saved for New York, didn't you?

Speak of the devil.

Um...

See you at Belly's bridal shower?

God, yeah. Do I have to?

Don't be a dick.

I'm not a dick.

Hey. Are you guys on the road?

Okay, don't kill me,

but I can't make it to Cousins this weekend.

Taylor, I need you. I don't know what I'm doing.

I know, I know. I'm so sorry.

Our salon inspection got moved to today.

My mom said that she'd be fine doing it on her own,

but there's just-- there's no way.

My name is on that application with her.

It's okay.

Don't worry about me.

I'm really sorry. I pr-- I promise,

I will make your shower extra amazing.

Um, oh, that reminds me, Steven's in for the shower.

Are you sure you're cool with him being there?

Yeah. I mean,

he's your brother and the co-best man.

I'm your maid of honor. Like, we're gonna have to interface.

Wait, if Steven and I are out

does that mean it's just you, Conrad and Jeremiah for the Fourth?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

Mm.

How has it been with Conrad?

Uh...

I've barely seen him all week.

I've been taking every phone banking shift I can get, and...

he's doing a bunch of stuff around the house to help out for the wedding.

-Really? -Yeah.

Weird.

When is he leaving?

Uh, he hasn't said.

-Huh. -

Hold on, I-I got to go.

My mom is blowing me up.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay. Bye.

-Hey, future brother-in-law. -Oh.

-You scared me. -Sorry.

You seem really busy out there.

Yeah, I, um...

Is that your breakfast?

Yes.

And it's the last one, sorry.

No, I--

It's just, I left...

cereal out and there's fruit in the fruit bowl.

Yes. Um...

I just didn't want to take any of your stuff

-without asking. -Why didn't you ask, then?

Um...

Haven't really had a chance to.

You've been so busy with all this house stuff.

-Which we really appreciate, by the way. -Yeah.

I mean, I just, I never knew you were so handy.

I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

You always used to take things apart to figure out how they worked.

Um, I'm not really doing much.

And I'm probably fucking the house up worse than it already was, so...

Somehow I doubt that.

So, uh, when do you have to head back to California?

I mean, it kind of sucks that you can't stay till the wedding.

Yeah, it's just, you know, my job needs me back. I got to...

Right. Yeah, Jere was telling me about it.

You must be so excited.

Yeah.

I got to get back to the roof, but...

whatever I buy, you can have.

Okay.

Dude, when is your dad going to leave?

I don't know, Steven. Ask him.

Wait, aren't you supposed to leave soon?

Yeah, the train to Cousins leaves in, like, 45 minutes.
