02x05 - Love Fool

[bunniefuu]

Previously on
The Summer I Turned Pretty...

Today's open house has been cancelled.

So I need you all out of the house.

- The boardwalk. That's a great idea.
- You should come with us, Skye.

You know, once they get
to see more of Cousins,

and hang out with you guys,

they'll see why we
love this place so much.

- You sure Milo's cool with you coming with me?
- Why wouldn't he be?

Because we kissed
for, like, two seconds?

Don't worry. I'm right
here with you, okay?

- [SCREAMING]
- You know, I just feel

everyone's slipping away,

and-and the house is the
last thing tying us together.

[JEREMIAH] Everything's gone.

What the f*ck, Julia?

[JULIA] I'm sorry.

This must be such a shock.

I-I spoke to your father this afternoon,

and-and he and I decided
that it would be best

not to drag this out any
longer than necessary.

I don't give a sh*t what
the two of you decided on.

You had no right to touch
anything in this house.

- Those were her things.
- Breathe, man. Okay?

- [CONRAD] Stop.
- [JULIA] Everything's in storage.

I made sure that everyone

was very careful with
every single thing.

I'm just doing what I have to do

- to sell this house.
- [CONRAD] Bullshit.

You could have said something.

You could have warned us.

All you want to do is fight our mom,

- constantly.
- Okay, enough.

You're not the only
one that's hurting here.

And I'm not the one you
should be angry with.

Your mother could have warned you

that this was gonna happen.

She just wanted to make
me the bad guy, as usual.

I'm so sorry that she was too busy dying

to make your life a little easier.

You know, it sucks that our grandfather

loved her more than you,
but I'm not surprised.

[JEREMIAH] Conrad could
have chosen his words better.

But he's not wrong.

The truth hurts.

All of it hurts.

[BELLY] Jere... [EXHALES]

What did you say to them, anyway?

I told them about Shitmas.

I mean, I just wanted them to understand

why you're selling the house.

You shouldn't have done that.

That was private.

Listen, I'm not going to defend

what Conrad just said, okay?

That wasn't right.

B... I-I can't defend this either, Mom.

I mean, can you?

[SIGHS]

Uh...

[STEVEN] Connie, come on... No.

Connie.

[LINE RINGING]

Of course, Dad did nothing to stop her.

Connie, what can he do?

Jere! He doesn't care about us!

[JEREMIAH] Our dad
was never going to win

a Father of the Year award.

He was flawed, that's for sure.

But when it counted,
he was there at the end.

Conrad just couldn't see it.

He didn't want to.

And this assh*le won't
even pick up my... calls.

- Did you know about this?
- Easy, Connie.

I'm, no, I'm serious. I'm serious.

- Did you know about this?
- [SKYE] I-I didn't know

anything, okay? I swear
I would have told you.

[CONRAD] Would you have? Really?

Because we haven't seen
each other in ten years.

Would a day at the
boardwalk have been enough

- to make you betray your mom?
- Listen,

I know we don't know
each other very well,

but I-I wouldn't have
sideswiped you like this.

Connie, come on.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

[JEREMIAH] My whole life,
I've looked up to Conrad.

He's always been smarter,
faster, just... better.

Maybe part of me even needed
that: someone to look up to.

But a lot's happened this year.

I don't feel that way anymore.

Okay, we can't just leave.

All right? The house isn't sold yet.

- We still have a chance.
- [SKYE] A slim one.

I mean, full disclosure,
Mom's realtor is expecting

multiple cash offers, all over asking,

no contingencies.

Thank you, Skye, for that
bleak as f*ck assessment.

Also, where are we
going to sleep tonight?

I think there are some
sleeping bags in the garage.

I'm not sleeping this house.

Okay, I... We don't have to. All right?

Okay, well, hotels are
usually all booked up

around this time of year.

I feel like I should... go.

And I'd totally invite you
guys to come stay with me,

but it's a pretty small place, so...

Yeah, maybe... maybe we should go, too.

[JEREMIAH] They're
this close to giving up.

Don't go yet.

I know a place we can
crash for the night.

[JEREMIAH] It's been closed for hours

and-and there's never any
night guards. We're good.

Okay.

[BEEPS]

- [BEEPS]
- sh*t.

Not a great plan.

[CAM SNORTS]

It's from Avengers. RDJ.

"I understood that reference."

[BOTH LAUGH]

Can you guys, like, not?
For just two seconds?

Right.

[SIGHS]

[BEEPING]

Okay, there's got to
be another way, right?

We can try the pool gate.

Uh, we could also use my mom's key code.

Wait, are you sure? Your mom?

Yeah, it's fine. She's the manager

- at the restaurant here, so...
- I mean,

wouldn't she get in trouble, though,

if, like, someone checked the logs?

No, no. She works the randomest hours,

so that alone shouldn't
raise any red flags.

So long as we don't make
a mess, like, at all,

should be good.

[JEREMIAH] They won't
even know we're here.

Thank you for not being on
that whale boat, Cam Cameron.

[BELLY] Thank you.

- Thanks.
- Thank you, Cam.

- Thank you, Cam.
- Thanks.

[JEREMIAH] Hello?

So what do we do now?

Ugh. Could we scavenge for food?

I need something in my
system other than sugar.

Allow me to escort you to the kitchen.

Actually, wait. Can I come with you?

I have really specific
snack requirements.

[STEVEN] Uh-uh, Taylor.
No, you're coming with me.

We'll fashion, like,
blankets out of, like,

- curtains and some sh*t.
- [TAYLOR] No, I'm on snack patrol right now.

Okay. So? I need your loudest voice

to scare away all the murderers.

- Yeah, I'm Team Murderers.
- [CHUCKLES]

Okay, fine. No, I mean,
as long as you're cool

with, like, sleeping on,
like, dusty polyester sheets.

- I hate you so much.
- [STEVEN CHUCKLING]

Why do you need help with this?

- [STEVEN LAUGHS]
- [TAYLOR] What do you need me for?

All right, I think I know
a place we could sleep.

Uh, you want to come?

Think I'm gonna go with
Cam and Skye, actually.

[BELLY] I'll catch up with you later.

Are you okay?

I never should have
gone to the boardwalk.

[BELLY] This is not your fault, Conrad.

There was no way you could have
known what Julia was planning.

Maybe, but she never would
have done it if I'd stayed back.

They f*cking took everything.

And you heard Skye.

The house is going to sell fast.

No.

No, it's not over. I mean...

We're gonna figure something out.

[JEREMIAH] Sometimes I hate myself

for how long it took me to notice it.

That invisible force
between the two of them.

I wanted to tell Conrad
that he had no right,

that he'd ignored Belly
for all these years.

But it wasn't just up to Conrad.

It was Belly's choice, too.

So I forced myself to let it go.

There were more important things
to worry about then, anyway.

What are you doing here?
Don't you have class?

Yeah, class got canceled.

Thought I'd come see you and Mom.

Did Mom get the full-size
Snickers for Halloween?

[JEREMIAH] Mm-hmm.

You think Mom's insurance
is going to accept

a sandwich bag full of receipts?

'Cause that's about all I got.

[CONRAD] I'm sure it'll be fine.

If not, we'll figure something out.

So, how's...

you know, senior year?

It's fine, I guess.

Mom said you got homecoming king.

Yeah. I mean, the
coronation was basically

preordained since freshman year.

- Right.
- Yeah. So...

You take a date?

I went with Blake.

Oh, yeah. That's cool.

Are you seeing anyone?

You and I never really talked
about what happened with Belly.

Jere, what happened last
summer was f*cked up.

I didn't even know that-that
you two had kissed until after...

I was just hoping that you could...

What?

Give you my blessing?

I can't believe you came here like this.

You know what? Just do what you want.

You always do anyways.

Jere, I want to be with her.

And I... I really think
that's what she wants, too.

But she's afraid of hurting you, Jere.

- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah.

And it's tearing her up
that you haven't responded

to her texts since last summer.

Yeah. Well, I've been busy.

Jere, I don't want you to hate us,

but I think about her all the time.

And it hurts, like, my
chest physically hurts,

to not be able to tell her
that I'm in love with her.

[JEREMIAH] When your brother
tells you something like that,

there's only one right answer.

Even if it doesn't feel right at all.

I'm not going to be the
one to keep you guys apart.

So go for it.

Thank you.

[JEREMIAH] Being around Belly this week

has made me remember all over again.

And my genius plan to stay pissed at her

and keep her at arm's
length is a failure.

So I just keep telling
myself over and over,

it'll never be me. It's
always going to be Conrad.

Hey, Jere, wait up.

Hey.

I thought you were heading
to the kitchen with Conrad.

Oh, no, they have plenty
of hands. [CHUCKLES]

Besides, I'd rather roam with you.

I mean, I'm just going

[TAYLOR] What?

- What was that look?
- Mm.

You and Steven. It just...

seems like there's kind of a vibe.

No, there's no vibe.

I save all my... all my vibing for Milo.

Okay.

Steven really hurt me last year.

It's just... It's not the kind of hurt

that just goes away easily.

You know?

- [BELLY] Yeah.
- Or, like, ever, maybe.

Yeah, I get it.

I know you do.

I think I... I loved Conrad

longer and truer than
anyone in my whole life.

And I'll probably never
love anyone like that again.

To be honest, it's kind of a relief.

'Cause I don't know, I don't
know if I could survive that.

[TAYLOR AND BELLY LAUGHING]

[TAYLOR] Can we make a pact?

Can we just leave
first love in the past?

Like, where it belongs?

Yeah. Yes. Yes.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I saw you and Jeremy on the boardwalk.

And tonight on the couch.

There's something there.

Doesn't matter how far
apart you sit, you know?

It's there.

Yeah, I feel like there...

there could be something, you know?

- Mm-hmm.
- Like this charge building between us.

But, you know, then he reminds me

how much I hurt him before.

I don't know. I'm like...

I shouldn't even be
thinking about him like that.

[SKYE] Mm-hmm. Almost got it.

[BOYS GRUNTING, LAUGHING]

Push, push!

- Put your back into it!
- Oh, God!

All right. All right, this
thing is officially dead.

Why don't we crash up
there for the night?

Well, that would be perfect timing,

because I have discovered
the secret of the apple bong.

Good job, Skye.

You know, that's surprising.

I have layers.

Great.

Start unpacking.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Taylor, volleyball camp is in four days.

It's not like they're
going to drug test us.

Coach would have had to put
that in her email, right?

What email?

The one that we got
yesterday about camp.

Have you talked to Coach yet?

Um...

- No, not yet.
- Belly, wait. Why?

I swear to God, if
you bail on us again...

No, no, no. I'm not
bailing. I want to go.

Okay, well, don't tell
me. Tell Coach that.

Okay.

Okay, yeah. I'll text her right now.

- Yeah. Great. Here.
- [BELLY] All right.

You know, I-I... I really
just don't want to...

I don't want to have to
have a big conversation

with her about last season,

and, I don't know, I feel like

I just want to show up ready to play

- and prove myself on the court.
- Okay.

I love that. It's very Killa B.

- [BELLY] Right?
- Yeah.

So I don't have to text her, right?

Give me your phone.

Mm...

[TAYLOR] This is ridiculous.

"Hey, Coach, I'm planning
to come to camp next weekend.

I already talked to
the rest of the squad

and they are cool with me coming.

Can't wait to see you on the court."

[BELLY] Yeah, that's good. Yeah.

What's happening over here? Hmm?

We playing Truth or Dare or what?

All right. Yeah. You in?

Um...

I dare you to eat the apple bong.

[CHUCKLES]

- [TAYLOR] Ew.
- I'm not scared. I've done worse.

Yeah, we know.

We worked so hard on this.

[STEVEN] I am so sorry, Skye.

- I'm so sorry.
- [SKYE] And now it's...

What does it taste like?

It tastes so...

Oh, my God!

Wait, wait. He knows he's going
to have to clean that up, right?

We'll make him clean it up.
We'll make him clean it up.

Conrad?

- I'm not playing.
- Come on, dude.

- [CONRAD] No.

Where do you, uh, see yourself

Coming back to Cousins.

Fourth of July barbecues,

digging for clams, serving with Jere...

- Making pomegranate margaritas.
- [CONRAD] Right, right.

I don't know, I just feel like

whatever kind of sh*t you got going on,

you just come back here,
you forget about it.

Come on, man. Nobody's
playing Truth or Dare right.

It's either you go big or you go home.

Agreed. This needs to

with everything about him.

He'd gotten to take Belly to her prom,

and he'd acted like
it was some big chore.

[CONRAD] I don't have your corsage.

I must have left it in my dorm fridge.

I'm sorry. They ran out of
vanilla at the store, so...

[GRUNTS]

... I hope you still like it.

It's okay. The little cocktail umbrella

kind of makes me feel like I'm having

a strawberry daiquiri or something.

It was Belly's favorite.

The virgin strawberry
daiquiri at the club?

It's 'cause it always came
with those little umbrellas.

I totally forgot that about her.

You always remember
what makes Belly happy.

Yeah.

Oh, honey.

You still have feelings for her.

No, Mom. I-I got over
that crush a long time ago.

You never let anyone see you hurting.

I'm fine, Mom. Seriously.

Yeah, well, sometimes I think

you're a little too good at being fine.

Well, isn't that what
everyone wants me to be?

No.

Not me.

[SIGHS] This is all my fault.

I got so excited at the prospect
of Belly being with one of my boys.

It must have been so hard for you,

seeing her with your brother.

I don't want you have
to worry about that, Mom.

Promise me.

You and Conrad will never
let anything come between you.

You will always put each other first.

Mom, Con and I are fine. I promise.

You don't have to worry about
that, okay? She chose him.

They-they chose each other and I'm...

I'm, I'm...

Her best friend.

This is just the beginning
of your story, Jere.

And I-I can't guarantee
anyone's feelings.

Or promise that no one
will get hurt. But...

Amelia Earhart.

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself."

But I had my mom.

She was the only person
who ever really saw me.

Her and Belly.

I don't know, Bells, it's complicated.

That thing you said earlier?

About "adventure is worthwhile"?

Did my mom tell you about that?

No, I...

I saw it on your graduation cap.
