In Season 1 of *The Summer I Turned Pretty*, Belly turned sixteen, marking a significant moment in her journey to adulthood. This birthday also intensified the romantic tension between her and her two love interests, Conrad and Jeremiah. While the show initially changed Belly’s birthday from the book, Season 2 subtly revealed the actual date.
Hermit’s reunion with his sister is complicated and painful. He still remembers burying the person he believed was her, and now he questions if this woman is truly the sister he once knew. He struggles with whether he can feel the same familial love for her, given their changed circumstances. This tension comes to a head in the episode “Emergence,” where a fight between Wendy and her synthetic allies and Hermit’s military team turns violent. Thinking Nibs, a young girl who carries a stuffed animal, might harm one of his teammates, Hermit shoots her. Wendy is horrified and reacts with an outburst of anger. Hermit, equally shocked by his own actions, immediately drops his weapon. This event breaks something fundamental between the siblings, exposing the deep divisions between them – in their bodies, their minds, and what they’re made of.
This episode feels more standalone than some of the others this season, which have been focused on bigger storylines. It still connects to what’s been happening, particularly the increasing friction between Sylvia and Charlie, but the main event is Sylvia planning a party for her first client who isn’t a friend. She’s organizing a premiere party for Mason Grand (played convincingly unlikeable by Milo Manheim), a popular young actor, to celebrate his new show, *Young Darcy Mysteries*. It’s a prequel to *Pride and Prejudice*, telling the story of a young Mr. Darcy.
Much of the latest episode focuses on the heroes trying to stay out of trouble after Cate’s attack. This would be difficult enough normally, but Vought News is exploiting the situation, framing it as a “hate crime” for their own political gain – a sadly familiar tactic. The young heroes disagree on how to proceed: Jordan wants to escape, as usual, and Emma shockingly suggests killing Cate if she recovers. Marie doesn’t agree with violence, but she sides with Emma in wanting to follow Starlight’s lead and investigate Project Odessa. Even though she’s back at God U and knows she should lay low – her forced social media posts won’t convince anyone she’s okay – she can’t ignore her urge to do the right thing.

As a gamer, I found a recent study by MTM really interesting! They surveyed 1,500 players – half in the US and half in the UK – and it turns out a lot of us are into remakes and remasters. Apparently, studios are seeing that these updated versions are often *more* successful than the originals, but MTM’s Martin Bradley pointed out it’s tricky to pull off well – they really have to get it right!
Here are the details on how Cipher and Marie are connected on the show.
War Sails is adding exciting naval battles, realistic and changing weather, a new Nord faction, and lots of ships you can personalize. As usual, there’s likely to be one ship that’s significantly stronger than all the others – the kind that instantly turns the tide of battle. I think I’ve discovered what that ship is.
