Jeremiah Melts Down As Belly Packs For Paris In The Summer I Turned Pretty Episode 9

Prime Video tossed us a curveball. That new end-of-season trailer for The Summer I Turned Pretty, dropped ahead of Episode 9, tees up chic French vibes for Belly... and then slams into a full-on breakup spiral. If you felt whiplash, same.

The vibe we were sold vs. the chaos we got

• Expectation: Belly soaking up France, all glitz-and-galleries energy, postcard-worthy romance.
• Reality: A spectacular relationship blowout that plays like a spiritual cousin to Carrie’s infamous Mexicoma from Sex and the City.

It is the kind of tonal bait-and-switch that makes you double-check the thumbnail. The trailer arrives labeled like a season-ender but lands before Episode 9, which is a little inside-baseball oddity on its own. You expect finale fireworks later, not a preemptive strike now.

And then there is Jeremiah. Instead of letting the story breathe in French air, the footage plants us in the middle of him going full chaos agent. He is not just moody; he is a problem, steamrolling the moment and turning what could have been a glossy detour into pure turbulence. The trailer practically dares you to hope for croissants, then hands you conflict carbs instead.

To be clear, none of this is subtle. The meltdown energy is big, messy, and familiar in that way teen-drama aficionados know by heart. The comparison to Carrie’s post-breakup spiral is not just cute name-dropping; it is the right scale. This is that kind of episode-to-episode gut-punch where the romantic fantasy blinks and the consequences wake up.

So if you were gearing up for a pretty French palate cleanser, manage expectations. The show is clearly sprinting toward its endgame, and the trailer makes it obvious: glam is out, fallout is in, and Jeremiah is here to stir the pot, not sip the champagne.
