The Summer I Turned Pretty’s latest episode featured an Easter Egg that could be good news for Team Conrad.
Based on the much-loved YA novels by showrunner Jenny Han, the latest season follows Belly (portrayed by Lola Tung) as she navigates life at university. In addition to her education, she’s also wrapped up in a long-term relationship with Jeremiah Fisher (played by Gavin Casalegno).
However, when Belly’s ex-boyfriend and Jeremiah’s elder brother, Conrad (played by Christopher Briney), re-enters their lives, she is forced to reconsider her feelings for the older Fisher boy.
Episode three, released on Prime Video on July 23, sees the trio reunited for Susannah Fisher’s memorial. Viewers see the Conklins and Fishers at lunch, where Belly’s mother Laurel (played Jackie Chung) announces she is footing the bill.
Upon hearing this, Adam Fisher (Tom Everett Scott) orders the most expensive entrée on the menu, the Surf n Turf. Jeremiah follows suit, echoing his father’s $75 request.
However, Conrad takes note that Belly had ordered an affordable starter for her main, and opts for the cheapest item on the menu, the Seared Salmon Fillet.
The scene is significant because the Fishers are portrayed as far wealthier than Belly’s family. Therefore, they could have ordered inexpensive items out of consideration for Belly’s single mother.
Although the scene is fleeting, viewers have noted that it signifies that Conrad is a better partner for Belly because he is more attentive to her family dynamic. This has left supporters of ‘Bonrad’ theorising that this scene is yet another Easter Egg teasing the pair’s eventual reunion.

Taking to Reddit, one viewer voiced: “Not Conrad choosing the cheapest entrée. I can’t. I let out a squeak and cry. Oh my goodness this boy. I love him too much.”
Others were quick to praise the Fisher brother, with a second writing: “He knows Laurel and is so considerate. I love this man.” A third viewer, who completely missed the Easter Egg, penned: “Oh. That’s what that was about.”
“It’s the little things like attentiveness and thoughtful consideration that make Conrad so amazing. He is so in-tune with her needs,” said a fourth.
But others defended Jeremiah, with one arguing: “Don’t offer to pay at an expensive restaurant like that with a table full of young men who will eat you out of house and home if you cannot afford it. It was a silly gesture that Adam won’t even appreciate. Let him pick up the tab, it’s the least he can do.”
While the lunch exchange may have scored points for Conrad, Jeremiah and Belly later revealed to their families that they are engaged. And, as of episode three, the pair intend to go through with their marriage.
