Plot twist alert: even the best beach drama has bloopers. In Season 3’s “Last Hurrah,” fans clocked a glaring continuity glitch, Conrad’s surf wound suddenly changed scar direction. In Episode 6, Belly tenderly cleans a horizontal gash on his thigh after that gnarly surfing accident. Flash to Episode 7? That same scar is now vertical. Someone switched the direction when no one was looking.

Naturally, the internet erupted. One fan tweeted: “Can we talk about how Conrad’s injury changed direction lol” with others adding, “Smaller and wrong direction… first one looked like it could need stitches.” Theories ranged from makeup team mix-up to “maybe the scar’s just vibing differently now.” Classic TSITP energy, right?

Even amidst the editing faux pas, the show keeps that slow burn emotional pull strong. Scars aside, the tension between Belly and Conrad remains scorching and some fans think the scar shift is symbolic, a subtle cue to his shifting emotional landscape (or just a tight schedule on set).

At the end of the day, whether it’s a props error or meta storytelling, we’re here for it. Because in The Summer I Turned Pretty, every little detail; wardrobe, music, or rogue scar becomes another love triangle tease.
