From Mia and Davis to other challenges, Steven and Taylor's bond makes things complicated in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3
The first two episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 have hinted that things are complicated between Steven and Taylor. Steven, now a Princeton graduate, pursues a premium internship under Mr. Fisher. Meanwhile, Taylor studied at Finch College with Belly.
Their love for each other became evident by the end of season 2, but the third season showed that they were still inseparable despite being in different relationships. Taylor is dating Davis from her college fraternity in season 3, while Steven is with Mia.
Their relationships seemed to be going well in the latest episodes, but Steven and Taylor complicate the situation by secretly hooking up often. They met in New York during their internships, after which their secret meetups started. This led to them cheating on their respective partners, Mia and Davis, which also worried Belly a lot when she found out.
Steven was the first to understand the situation, seeing his future with Taylor. An earnest attempt at making things right between them cost him heavily as he met with a dangerous accident in the process.
Steven tries to make things serious, but Taylor pushes him away
In the latest episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, Belly learned about Taylor and Steven's secret, confronting each of them separately. The duo's romance has been tumultuous, with their rekindled relationship posing a problem to their current relationships.
Steven was warned by Belly, while Taylor got similar feedback from her mother. This caused Steven to finally realize his feelings for Taylor, prompting him to decide to leave Mia.
When Taylor missed responding to his texts one day, Steven, out of desperation, rushed to her house. While they were leaving to grab a bite, he revealed that he was breaking up with Mia. He hoped this news would elicit a positive reaction from Taylor, given the time they have spent together. To his dismay, Taylor reacted negatively, making it clear that she wants their relationship to just be casual.
Steven proved his point by stating that their actions meant they were meant to be together, and ending things with Mia felt right to him, rather than cheating behind her back. However, Taylor mentioned that they had tried being together multiple times before, and so it would not end well. The end to this fight became painful as danger approached Steven in the form of an accident.

With Steven in a critical condition, Taylor and Belly manage the situation in an emotional state. Conrad also helps them promptly by connecting them to a senior doctor with the help of Dr. Namazy. While everything falls into place, Taylor undergoes an emotional breakdown, finally opening up about her love for Steven.
When things seemed to turn for the better for the two, Steven's recovery finally brought about a change in him. As Taylor mustered up the courage to confess her love, he stopped her and told her that they should stop imagining a future together.
While this shocking revelation devastates Taylor and threatens their relationship, it will be interesting to see what comes next for the duo in the upcoming episodes.
