The Summer I Turned Pretty

Previously on The Summer I Turned Pretty...

- We're supposed to go home now? - I mean, this place

deserves a better goodbye than that.

I think we should throw a huge party.

To the last night!

First person to admit they-they caught feelings loses, right?

- So I lose. You win. - Yeah, this house has seen

its fair share of make-outs.

You came to me.

You fucking begged me

for my blessing to be with her.

I thought that we loved each other.

We did.

I promised Susannah

I wouldn't lose the magic. But it's gone.

Mommy, I need you.

Belly, wake up.

Wake up!

Mom?

What are you... what are you doing here?

You don't remember?

You asked me to come.

No, actually, you left me a message begging me to come.

And then you didn't answer when I called back.

I kept trying you all night.

I'm sorry. I... I fell asleep.

Get up, Belly. We're leaving.

No, no, no, no, we can't.

You don't understand.

No. I don't understand.

You've been lying to me for days.

Well, Jeremiah and Conrad, they-they needed my help,

and I didn't know how to tell you.

There is no excuse. None.

I really hope last night was worth it,

because I am so done with you.

Mom, we didn't come here to party. It just happened.

We-we came here... we came here for Susannah...

Stop it! I can't stand

to hear you use her as an excuse one more time.

You can't stand me period!

Ever since her funeral, you have been so angry with me!

What do you want me to say?

That you embarrassed me?

That you made that day all about you when it was supposed

- to be about Susannah? - Yes! Yes!

I know you hate me for it, okay?

But you will never hate me as much as I hate myself.

Come on!

We are not doing this here. Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere.

No.

No! No! The only mistake I made was thinking

that you could help.

Susannah would never forgive you for abandoning her boys.

She would never even believe...

Belly.

You want some company?

I'm sorry about what happened with Laurel.

Everything's a mess.

I knew that you and Conrad had talked, in the fall, about me.

But I had no idea

that he came to you begging for your blessing.

Can you not, actually?

I'm sorry.

I-I keep trying to... make everything right,

and I just keep fucking it up.

It's-it's not just about you, Belly.

Conrad and I are mad at each other about all kinds of stuff.

I mean, I'm sure that Conrad

was just only trying to, you know...

Okay, don't...

Don't-don't defend him to me,

just this once, please.

I'm not defending him.

Whatever you think you saw last night,

you're wrong.

There is nothing left between me and Conrad.

There will always be something between you and Conrad.

Maybe my mom was right.

Maybe... it's time we all went home.

Wha...?

Steven, what the hell?

- Mom. - Belly drunk-dials me,

and I drive all night to find... this?!

I'm just glad your mom isn't here

to see what you guys did to her house.

I want this place spotless and for every single thing

of Susannah's to be put back exactly where it belongs.

If even one thing is broken or missing, I swear to God!

Mom, we weren't the ones who moved her stuff.

It was Aunt Julia.

She's the one who emptied it, not us.

To sell it.

But I thought Susannah talked to her lawyers.

She told me she reached out to Julia

right before things got bad.

Wait. Then why didn't you say anything?

Conrad had to find out

from a "for sale" sign in the front yard!

I just assumed they resolved it before Susannah...

Connie, does your dad know?

Of course he knows!

And of course he's done nothing at all to help us!

Yeah, that's why the guys and Belly came here.

They were trying to work something out

with Aunt Julia themselves.

And?

And we failed.

Aunt Julia's already sold the house to another family.

They finalized the deal yesterday.

But like you said, at least my mom's not here to see it.

I know I fucked up.

All right? And Belly, too.

But at least she was here.

The second they needed her, she stepped up.

You didn't even tell anyone this was coming.

Steven, I've been trying to just...

Mm. Try harder then.

Belly, can we talk?

I'll-I'll start cleaning.

Belly.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

I shouldn't have hit you.

You never did that before.

Everything you said before...

You were right.

I have been angry.

I've been so fucking angry at how unfair it is

that Beck's not here anymore.

But I didn't let myself feel it.

Because if I let it out...

Then all the other stuff will come up, too.

I thought I was doing the right thing...

being strong for you guys.

But I was wrong.

I should have been there for you.

Or let somebody be there for me.

Mom.

Do you forgive me?

Yes.

Do you forgive me?

It just doesn't feel the same without her.

I know.

What?

I owe you all an apology.

You guys have been there for each other, and I haven't,

and I'm deeply sorry for that.

We've all made mistakes, Mom.

Well, my biggest one is trusting

that Beck and Julia had come to an agreement

about the beach house before she passed.

It's probably too late to change things, but I'd like to try.

I'll talk to Julia, see if I can't change her mind.

- Thank you, Mom. - Thank you, Laurel.

You're welcome.

Before my mom gets here, though,

we should probably try and make this place

- look less... shitty. - Yup.

- Yes. Yes. - Yup. - Yes.

- Yes. - Let's get started.

- I got this one. - Right out of my hand.

I don't want you to leave. Like, you know that, right?

We're-we're clear on that?

Crystal, babe. Yeah.

Well, I-I want you to stay, too.

And I adore you for it.

I just... I think it's better if I leave.

I think this is feeling more and more like a family thing.

You're sure you're not just trying

to get out of cleaning up?

Babe, I mean, you're not wrong.

- This place looks disgusting. - Yeah.

Um, do you want to drive a girl to the bus station?

Bus station? What? No.

Look, if you're gonna go, use my car, okay?

Let me get the keys.

Okay, so I clearly missed something.

Like, a lot of something.

But... is this happening?

We'll see. I mean, he's obsessed with me,

if that's what you're asking.

Um, is there any way I can convince you to come to camp?

I mean, even if you just show up,

it's not like she can kick you out. Just come.

Wait. You're not going to camp?

No. It's fine, Taylor.

I mean, besides, you know, there's so much stuff

we still have to figure out here with the house.

Hey, don't worry about the house.

Okay? You've done enough.

We'll figure all this out.

It's okay. I want to see it through.

Okay.

You gonna be okay here, babe?

Yeah. My mom and I are... are good.

No, we both know I'm not talking about your mom.

No, I want to make sure that you're looking

after your own heart, and not just theirs, you know?
