Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 episode 9 soundtrack highlights Belly Paris journey

In Season 3, Episode 8 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, titled “Last Kiss,” tensions within the love triangle come to a dramatic head. After Jeremiah reveals he’s long been aware of Belly’s feelings for Conrad and struggles with being second-best, he ultimately calls off the wedding, unable to proceed knowing her heart still lies elsewhere. The episode ends with Belly booking a flight to Paris, where she unexpectedly crosses paths with Conrad at the airport, leaving viewers on edge about what comes next.

With the wedding over and emotions raw, Episode 9—released September 3 on Amazon Prime Video—picks up as Belly navigates heartbreak in a new city. Paris becomes the backdrop for her search for independence and self-discovery, while her unresolved connection to Conrad continues to linger.

The carefully chosen soundtrack underscores each stage of Belly’s journey. Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” captures the urgency of her emotional escape, before Taylor Swift’s “You’re On Your Own, Kid” frames her growing independence. The wistful tones of Françoise Hardy’s “Voilà” highlight the weight of memory, while Claire Lauffet’s “Mojo” signals the intimacy of fresh beginnings. Later, The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey’s dreamy “Stargirl Interlude” conveys the lingering tension of unresolved romance, and The Beatles’ “Oh! Darling” adds nostalgic warmth. The episode closes with Swift’s “How Did It End?”, leaving the season’s questions reverberating alongside Belly’s inner conflict.

By weaving a pivotal narrative shift with a soundtrack that mirrors urgency, reflection, nostalgia, and hope, Episode 9 deepens Belly’s transition into independence while keeping her tangled love story very much alive.
