Blake’s ‘Summer I Turned Pretty’ Season 3 Role Solves Jeremiah’s Prom Mystery from Season 2

by

In the seventh episode of Season 3 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” fans’ unanswered questions from Season 2 were addressed by introducing Blake, a longtime friend of Jeremiah’s. As the series draws to a close on Amazon Prime Video, more insights about Blake’s past have surfaced, and this time around, Jeremiah Fisher is in the limelight.

In the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Jeremiah experienced both triumphs and tribulations, one of his setbacks being his breakup with Belly following allegations of infidelity with Lacie Barone. This secret eventually caught up to him when Conrad inadvertently discovered the truth. However, a notable presence at Jeremiah’s bachelor party before his wedding to Belly has stirred memories among fans, as it reminded them of a crucial event from Season 2 – the unexpected arrival of a man named Blake on Cousins Beach.

Blake & Jeremiah’s Connection & History In ‘Summer I Turned Pretty

In Season 3, Episode 7 of “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” it was made clear that Blake was once in a relationship with Jeremiah. Although the books don’t delve deeply into Jeremiah’s sexuality, the Amazon Prime Video series established early on, in Season 1, that Jeremiah identifies as bisexual. This was hinted at when he shared a kiss with another man during a party in Season 1, Episode 3.

In the recently released episode, Blake made a significant appearance, but it’s important to note that his character was initially mentioned in “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Season 2, Episode 5. During a discussion between Conrad and Jeremiah, Blake’s name came up. It was then disclosed that Jeremiah attended the homecoming prom dance with Blake back then.

Conrad: “Mom said you got the homecoming king.”

Jeremiah: “Yeah, I mean the coronation was basically preordained since freshman year.”

Conrad: “Right?”

Jere: “Yeah. So…”

Conrad: “You take a date?”

Jere: “I went with Blake.”

Conrad: “Oh, yeah. That’s cool.”

It isn’t clear when or how Jeremiah and Blake’s relationship began, but it’s possible that they became romantically involved following homecoming. This potential romance could have continued for several months, coinciding with the time period when Belly and Conrad first started dating.

In Jenny Han’s “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series, the character of Blake is nowhere to be found. Instead, this newly introduced figure serves to enrich our understanding of Jeremiah’s romantic preferences and past relationships.

In the seventh episode of Season 3 in the series “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Blake’s arrival has further illuminated the peculiar and uneasy vibe surrounding Belly and Jeremiah’s forthcoming wedding. Anika observed that it was unusual for Jeremiah to invite Blake to his bachelor party and matrimony, but Taylor downplayed the situation, explaining that since Conrad is Belly’s ex and is serving as co-best man, he would be present.

Taylor: “Blake is Jere’s ex, and Redbird’s got dibs.”

Anika: “Hold up, you’re okay with Jere having his ex at his bachelor party?”

Taylor: “My God, Belly does not have a leg to stand on. Um, her ex is the best man, remember?”

Belly: “Yeah, but that’s, like, ancient history.”

Anika: “Right, this group is messy.”

Although it may have seemed odd, Belly, Jeremiah, and Blake appeared to be fine. However, inviting Blake turned out to be problematic as he was the one who disclosed information about Jeremiah’s intimate experiences, specifically his encounters with Lacie in Cabo. This revelation eventually led Redbird to share details about his hookup with Lacie in Cabo, which Conrad overheard unintentionally.

In “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Book 3, “We’ll Always Have Summer”, a crucial plot development is that Conrad discovers Jeremiah’s infidelity, which ultimately paved the way for him to express his long-held feelings for Belly in the final scene. However, this revelation seems to come too late in the story.
