Team Conrad went up a point with the latest episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, where Jeremiah and Belly mutually parted ways and called off their wedding. After Belly practically confessed about still having feelings for the other Fisher brother, Jeremiah made her realise that she cannot marry him to erase Conrad. And just like that, Belly and Jeremiah were done for good, following which, she was headed to Paris for a dream college year in the episode's final moments.
But this is where it gets good! Just when Belly was about to head for her flight to Paris, she saw Conrad at the airport. The familiar face of the person she loves brought back painful memories for her, as Taylor Swift's 'Cardigan' played in the background.
While The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 8 ended on a cliffhanger, it seems that there is still time before the couple will be finally united for good. Belly and Conrad might not have a chance to talk at the airport for now, but the latest set leaks from the show suggest that the couple will finally be reunited in the city of love, unlike the books.
More on Belly and Conrad's future in The Summer I Turned Pretty in our story.

Can Belly and Conrad reunite at the airport in The Summer I Turned Pretty?
Team Jeremiah fans suffered a major heartbreak in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 8, after the couple finally broke off their wedding, and Belly headed to spend her dream junior year of college in Paris. However, before Belly could head for a fresh start, away from the mess and the confusion of the Fisher brothers, she saw Conrad sitting at the airport, likely waiting for his flight back to California.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 8 ended with Belly approaching Conrad, but we still don't know whether she will actually talk to him or will head straight to Paris. Since the show has made many creative divergences from the books, anything can happen, but some eagle-eyed fans have noticed that Belly and Conrad's flight timing is the same, ie, 10:20 pm.
When Belly is checking her flight timings at the airport, fans were quick to notice that both Paris and San Fransico flights are scheduled for 10:20 pm. Since Conrad and Belly are headed to their respective destinations at the same time, they might not have the chance to talk. Additionally, Belly is visibly hurt and frustrated after Conrad's sudden love confession and her wedding drama with Jeremiah, as is confirmed by her sudden decision to leave for Paris. This hints that she is not currently in the mental space to confront Conrad and possibly mend things with him.
Like the books, Belly needs some time off in The Summer I Turned Pretty
While Bonrad fans are eager for Belly's inevitable reunion with Conrad, it should happen exactly like The Summer I Turned Pretty books, with some time off for Belly from the Fisher brothers. In the books, Belly and Conrad only meet after one year, at her college graduation. While Conrad wrote regular letters, she only responded to a handful of them after a certain time had passed. While the books featured a delayed meeting between the couple, it was necessary for the characters' growth and maturity.
For everything that Belly has endured in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3, with Conrad's return, Jeremiah's cheating scandal, to their sudden wedding plans, and the eventual breakup, she needs a moment to catch her breath and reflect on her life. Additionally, while she confessed her lingering feelings for Conrad, she is confused and should certainly take a break from her romance to focus on her college.
The delayed reunion in the books held even more meaning for Belly and Conrad's romance because it signified certainty, security, and a maturity in their love, unlike Belly's immature decision to marry Jeremiah. While various photo leaks from The Summer I Turned Pretty set suggest that Conrad might follow Belly in Paris and the couple might be reunited sooner, the book's ending still feels more accurate for the coming-of-age arcs of the characters.
