Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 has sparked fan debate after viewers spotted what they believe is a major continuity error involving Conrad Fisher (Chris Briney).
In the August 13 episode, Belly (Lola Tung) tends to Conrad’s surfing injury, wrapping a bandage around a visible horizontal cut on his leg. However, in the August 20 episode, the wound appeared in a different location and had a vertical shape, leading fans to question whether an editing oversight occurred.
Social media quickly amplified the discussion, with posts comparing screenshots of Conrad’s injury going viral. One viewer wrote, “Can we talk about how Conrad’s injury changed direction lol,” while another admitted they doubted their own memory after noticing the inconsistency.

The potential mistake stood out even more because the series is known for its attention to detail, frequently hiding symbolic Easter eggs such as flowers, dates, and visual callbacks to Jenny Han’s novels. Some fans expressed disappointment that the injury’s appearance shifted, while others were quick to forgive the slip, speculating it may have been a result of production order or reshoots.
Series creator Jenny Han recently addressed the intensity of fan theories, noting that while many details are intentional, some inconsistencies may occur. She emphasized that viewers’ interpretations remain valid, intentional or not.
The Summer I Turned Pretty, which premiered in 2021, follows Belly as she navigates a love triangle between Conrad and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Season 3, currently streaming on Prime Video, is expected to conclude her journey.
The show continues to fuel online discussion, with fans dissecting scenes for clues while debating whether Conrad’s shifting injury was a hidden detail—or simply a continuity error.
