Fireworks, margaritas, and father issues collide in The Summer I Turned Pretty S1E4, where the Fourth of July brings the dads to Cousins, Conrad spirals around his father, and Belly’s almost-romantic moment gets cut off by her insatiable love for pomegranate margs. Meanwhile, Summer House S10E10 trades poolside lounging for full-blown confrontation, as Dara presses Bailey on flirtation rumors, Ciara goes solo down south, Carl finally hits his limit with Kyle, and Amanda ends up in hot water over a comment that lands harder than intended.

After hearing from Jon Hamm about his thoughts on Ciara, West, and Amanda, we tip-toe into the Season 3 premiere of The Valley, where Danny and Nia attempt the logistical Olympics of four under four, Kristen and Luke hit early turbulence on the road to first-time parenthood, and Brittany chases her sparkle in a new relationship that may already be moving at breakneck speed.

Uh oh there's Taylor Frankie Paul chaos. We check in on the increasingly questionable state of Summer House, then head to Cousins Beach for The Summer I Turned Pretty, where Belly returns convinced this is the summer everything changes now that she’s ditched the glasses and is emotionally prepared for crushes (or is she). The first night immediately proves feelings are about to get messy. Balance.
