The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 episode 5 dropped on Prime Video this week, and it’s another masterclass in how terrible Belly (Lola Tung) is thanks to the awful decisions she’s making. But while Conrad (Christopher Briney) continues to pine for her on the sidelines while she’s intent on marrying his brother Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), it wasn’t all bad news for once. Luckily, season 3 episode 5 had the infamous peach stand scene in the middle of the drama, and it’s something I’ve been waiting almost two decades for.
Author Jenny Han’s original books series of the same name was first released in 2009, concluding with the third title in the series, We’ll Always Have Summer, in 2011. It’s the main reason why we’re only getting three seasons of the TV show, so we shouldn’t be too surprised that scenes are matching up. Book three had a pivotal scene, where Belly and Jeremiah stop at a peach stand after heading out to choose their wedding floral arrangements. Belly originally only gets one, but likes it so much that Conrad goes back and buys her another. Later on, he uses his shirt to wipe the peach juice that ran down her chin, and she describes it (in the book) as the most intimate thing anyone had done to her. As of now, it’s no longer a fantasy in our heads.
