02x06 - Love Fest

[bunniefuu]

Previously on
The Summer I Turned Pretty...

You had no right to touch
anything in this house.

Those were her things.

Your mother could have warned
you that this was gonna happen.

[TAYLOR] Have you talked to Coach yet?

[BELLY] Taylor, volleyball
camp is in four days.

Bad b*tches need their roses, too.

Milo would never wear a suit and tie.

[STEVEN] Yeah, well,
Milo's not your perfect guy.

I saw you and Jeremy.

There's something there.

Doesn't matter how far apart you sit.

Jere, I don't want you to hate us,
but I think about her all the time.

[JULIA] The buyers made an offer

on the house, and I've
officially accepted it.

The house is sold.

♪ ♪

It's sold?

You-you sold this house
in the last hours?

Yes. To a-a lovely
family with three children

and some kind of a poodle mix.

Well, it can't just be over.

It is. Uh, I'm gonna
need your keys, please.

[CONRAD] I'll bet you're
really enjoying this.

[SIGHS]

Mom, don't do this.

Skye, really?

I told you two that I
was selling the house.

You just refused to believe it.

And I'm not enjoying
it, but I will admit

that I'm relieved it's finally over.

Come on, Skye. Excuse me.

[SKYE] Mom...

- I really don't want to fight with you.
- Mom.

Look, I know the past
few days have been hard.

I haven't forgot all the stories

about how there was
no place for you here.

That hasn't changed.

It's changed for me.

I-I like this town,
and I like the house,

and I like the... I
like the stupid beach.

But you hate the water.

You hate the water.

I don't know. I'm kind of happy here,

and not in a
pharmaceutically induced way.

And I want you to be happy.

I want you to know them.

Do you? Because it kind of
feels like you've kept me away

and only told me all the bad stuff.

But, I don't know, I mean,

this place is kind of
like our last tie to them.

Well, it wasn't me.

I mean, they didn't want us around.

Yeah, but that-that's the thing.

I talked to Conrad and Jeremiah...

Okay, okay, what's done is done, Skye.

I can't go back to the buyers

because you want more time
to play with your cousins.

If they want to see you
again, they'll reach out.

Just... don't be surprised if the
phone doesn't ring, that's all.

I know you genuinely believe

that you're gonna get closure

by selling this house, but you're not.

You never will.

What makes you so sure?

Because you're not
selling it for closure

or for money or any
of the other reasons.

You're selling it for confirmation.

That you could... that we
could never belong here.

That if you tried, it would
just be Shitmas all over again.

- [JULIA] How did I not get enough to fill this thing?
- Hmm.

Take some of mine. I
always buy way too much.

[CHUCKLES] Really?

- Yeah. Here.
- Thank you.

I'm so glad you're here, Jules.

- Me, too.
- Hmm.

[MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

Are you filling your own stocking?

Yeah, I always do it.

Adam, um, usually falls
asleep putting the kids

- to bed on Christmas Eve, so...
- [SPUTTERS]

Don't tell me you bought
your own Christmas gifts, too.

Hey, at least I'm guaranteed
to get exactly what I want.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Okay, don't take this the wrong
way, but you married our father.

Jules.

Sorry.

♪ Yes, they really do fly... ♪

I kind of miss him today.

You know, it's weird having
Christmas without him.

I wouldn't know.

I was thinking maybe tomorrow

you and I could drive
out to the cousins' house.

It's ours now. We
should start figuring out

what updates it needs, who gets it when.

No, I told you, I have
no interest in that place.

It was a nightmare for me.

Oh, come on. It wasn't all bad.

Remember you used to take me on
those sunset shell beach walks?

Yeah, but you, Dad and Lillian
were like this perfect family,

and I was the outsider
that nobody wanted around.

I wanted you there.

And so did Dad and my mom.

Oh, please. Lillian could
barely stand to look at me.

Can you just quit with
the martyr mentality?

Jesus, you're making her
out to be like Meredith Blake

or whatever her name
is from The Parent Trap.

I literally overheard her ask Dad

how long I had to keep coming

because I was making everybody
miserable with my sour face.

Okay, if she said that...

- She said that.
- ... it was a really shitty thing to say.

But come on.

As parents, we've all been fed up

with our kids and had a bad moment.

Don't hold it against her forever,

and don't hold it against me.

♪ Merry Christmas... ♪

That's why I never told you.
Because you don't get it.

♪ Merry Christmas ♪

So you think I made it up?

Mom, obviously not.

I mean, your dad was an
emotionally withholding prick.

And Aunt Susannah was in denial
about her parents' shittiness.

But the moment Conrad
and Jeremiah came to you

with a version of their house

and their family that didn't fit,

you just shut down.

I mean, instead of hearing them out,

you got rid of all their stuff

and took the first offer on the table?

It was a very good offer.

Mom!

You have the biggest heart,

and it really sucks
to see you close it off

because of the past.

So please back out of the deal.

It doesn't work like that.

Now get in the car.

We need to be in Boston by :.

No.

Mom, I love you, but
I can't go with you.

This isn't right.

I love you, too, Skye,

but you're wrong.

- [ENGINE STARTS]
- I'll see you at the hotel

when I get back from Boston.

Okay. So, I know things aren't
going so great right now,

but it's always the darkest
before the dawn, right?

- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- Yeah, not this time.

Um... I'm-I'm sorry. I-I tried
to get her to call off the deal.

It's not on you, Skye.

I know, but she's my mom,

so I would get if you guys
were angry with me, too.

I just can't deal with her right now.

Hey, no one's mad at you, Skye.

[STEVEN] So, what?

We're supposed to go home now?

Yeah.

- It's over.
- No.

Our-our last memory here can't be this.

Everyone miserable and defeated.

I mean, this place deserves
a better goodbye than that.

Like what?

My mom came to the
beach house with Susannah

for the first time after her dad d*ed.

And it was supposed to
be just the two of them,

but Susannah hated how
empty the house felt,

so she decided to throw a huge party.

Everyone was dancing and drinking,

and they went swimming at midnight.

And Susannah said it was
like Gatsby or something.

Hmm.

So I say that we throw a party, too.

I'm in.

Me, too.

Me three.

Oh, I love this for us.

[LAUGHTER]

[STEVEN] You in?

I think it's exactly what
my mom would have wanted.

She'd love it.

[BELLY] Great. Okay.

Everybody, shower, power nap,

and then I'm putting you to work.

Okay.

You good?

Yeah.

Oh. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

For real, though.

Look, I know you've
got a lot on your plate.

All right, the house, Stanford...

I already told you I'm
not going to Stanford, man.

I'm just saying,

I'm all for you embracing your zen.

- Embracing my zen?
- Yeah.

Where'd you get that?

Is that one of your
girl Taylor's mantras?

- Taylor's not my girl.
- That's not what it looked like last night.

Oh, well...

I see what you're doing.

But, yes, Taylor does have some
good therapy in her back pocket,

despite her questionable sources.

Zen could be a good look for you.

Whatever you say.

[CHUCKLES] Okay.

You... [CLEARS THROAT] tend
to either live way up here,

where everything is
awesome, or way down here,

where everything's sh*t.

Zen?

Right about there.

Be... zen.

[BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY]

Come on. Man, throw a kick-ass
party for this glorious house.

Feel all the feels.

Relinquish control.

Okay, so if I agree to be zen,

will you let me out of the kitchen?

[STEVEN CHUCKLES]

Fine. I will try and be zen.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry. What was that?

- I will try and be zen.
- Yeah. Whoa, whoa.

- Steven.
- One more time. I don't think I... I caught you there.

[CONRAD SIGHS]

I will try and be zen.

Okay.

[STEVEN CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Hey, have you seen any towels?

- I need to shower.
- Um, I think

Steven found some drying by the pool.

You could ask him. Oh, hey, I told Marcy

that she's gonna have to bunk with Donna

now that you're coming
to camp. [CHUCKLES]

She's really happy about that.

Yeah. Uh, about that.

Coach got back to me.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Is she gonna let you start?

I mean, she'd be an idiot not to.

Uh, actually, she-she
told me not to come at all.

What?!

- I'm calling her.
- No, no, no, no, no.

- Don't, don't, don't.
- I'm calling her right now.

No, no. I deserve it. I
deserve it. I don't know why...

I was... It was dumb to
think that she would just,

you know, let me come back.

It's just a bummer. [CHUCKLES]

I feel like I really
f*cked up the whole year.

Dude, screw this. If you're
not on the team next year,

then I'm-I'm out.

I'm not gonna do it. I
mean, you're the only reason

- that I've, like, stayed this long anyway.
- Stop it. It's... [LAUGHS]

- I'm serious.
- No. Stop it.

You're bringing the team
to state this year, okay?

Don't you dare let me down.

- No!
- Yeah.

No. It's really annoying,
uh, the drive sucks,

and I have to wake up at,
like, the cr*ck of ass.

Yeah. I'm gonna go find a towel.

Belly!

You know those places you
always end up in your dreams?

You know, your subconscious
brain takes you there

'cause it's a safe space in real life?

Yeah.

This house is that for me.

And after today,

I'll only ever get to swim
in this pool in my dreams.

It's weird.

Well... [SIGHS]

I mean, if... if time is running out...

can take pictures at the party.

looking for anything we can use

that the, uh, movers left behind.

Did you get me a halter top?

I looked for anything
remotely retro and grabbed it.

Okay, but so I part my teeth first

and then stick my tongue out?

What are you guys talking about?

Apparently Skye's never kissed anybody.

Which is completely normal and fine.

I know.

Externally imposed societal
expectations of "normal"

have no effect on me.

That being said,

I've decided that I am ready and willing

and would like to know what to do

with the various parts of my mouth

when it meets another mouth.

You want to take this one?
I mean, Belly's the expert.

- Cam, Jere, Conrad...
- Taylor.

What was it like kissing all them?

Was it different? And in what ways?

And feel free to be as
technical as humanly possible.

Yeah, Belly, spare no detail.

What happened?

Um, my first kiss with Cam
was really, really sweet.

And with Conrad, I...
wasn't even in my body.

I think I kind of blacked out.

Uh, and with...

Jeremiah, um...

I thought it would be really weird

'cause we've been friends
for so long, but...

[GIGGLES] It was
surprisingly really hot.

- Like, really, really hot.
- [CHUCKLES]

- [GIGGLES]
- Pretty hot.

Okay.

Well, then,

out of all three, who
would you kiss again?

- Isn't it obvious?
- [EXHALES SHARPLY] No comment.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Okay,

but is there ever a
situation in which it's, like,

all teeth and no tongue?

[CHUCKLES] Just...
