Cruel Summer: Episode Recap
As the series is going to premiere on Freeform along with two episodes, we will describe what is going to happen in these two episodes. The name of the two episodes is “Happy Birthday, Jeanette Turner” and “A Smashing Good Time.”
Happy Birthday, Jeanette Turner
The first episode is allegedly directed by Max Winkler. No doubt, he has perfectly torn the episode between a trio of three years. So in the first episode, we see the plot in terms of Jeanette. She is a beautiful and introverted young woman who loves to stay in positive social isolation. A year later, Jeanette’s life completely changes when her town’s popular girl, Kate Wallis, goes missing. Jeanette took over Kate’s life and turned herself int0 a “mirror” Kate literally. The first episode is the first version of June 21.
A Smashing Good Time
The second story follows Kate’s story. Her story directly impacts Jeanette’s life. The episode directly tells us how two completely different persons are related to each other. As, for example, Kate’s friendships with people who were not her close friends affect Jeanette’s life to very extents. Not much about the two episodes is yet revealed. So there is no information about how much Jeanette is responsible for Kate’s kidnapping and disappearance. Though Kate seems to be involved in the kidnapping, it seems like the story behind the curtain says a lot. “Cruel Summer” certainly seems to be a series based on kidnapping and then its alleged victims. Major critics have said that the show might complicate itself as it grows further in its walls. Whispers even said that the show had taken some notes from Jessica Biel’s “The Sinner.” Jessica is the executive producer of the show.
