Luke’s sex tape — which seemingly features Isabella — continues to cause ripples throughout season 2 of Cruel Summer.
In a sneak peek from the Monday, June 19, episode of the Freeform series, Megan’s mother, Debbie, confronts Luke’s brother, Brent, for recording his sibling’s private encounter with Isabella.
“I think Brent owes Isabella an apology — Luke too,” Debbie (KaDee Strickland), who is also dating Luke’s father, Steve (Paul Adelstein), says during the tense dinner moment. “Some genuine remorse would be nice.”
In response, Brent (Braeden De La Garza) offers an unemotional apology, saying, “I am sorry. It was wrong — what I did.”
Debbie and Megan (Sadie Stanley) aren’t thrilled with how Brent addressed his mistakes. “Feel free to keep going,” the high school student says before being cut off by Steve.
The scene, which takes part in winter 1999, offers a glimpse into the difficult dynamic after a sex tape of Luke (Griffin Gluck) was leaked. Although the entire town of Chatham assumed Luke had cheated on Megan with her friend Isabella (Lexi Underwood), it was actually Megan who was featured in the clip with her boyfriend.
Cruel Summer has continued to introduce twists and turns while exploring the tumultuous friendship between Megan and Isabella — which ultimately leads to Luke’s death by summer 2000.
Viewers were initially introduced to the former friends when Megan’s family welcomed the exchange student into their home. Things took a turn, however, when Isabella developed an interest in Luke in the summer of 1999 and various moments from the three timelines hint at a sinister conclusion to the love triangle.
Earlier this month, Stanley, 21, discussed how the show’s cast was kept in the dark about the biggest bombshells.

Mads Mikkelsen is opening up about the movie roles he prefers to take and why he passes on ones that he considers too “cute” for him.
Mads Mikkelsen stars opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny playing Nazi scientist Dr. Jürgen Voller. The actor recently opened up about the roles that he likes to play opting to play “losers” on-screen versus “cutie pie” characters.
Refresh for latest…: Disney/Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is off to a disappointing start with a $130M global opening. Of that, $70M is from 52 international box office markets as the the fifth installment in the beloved 42-year-old franchise came in below projections.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny does not feature Indy’s son, Mutt Williams, but his absence doesn’t go unexplained. [Spoilers ahead!]
Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who stars as Destiny in “The Idol” — Jocelyn’s (Lily-Rose Depp) manager — opens up on why co-creator Sam Levinson took over the much-discussed series and the likelihood of a second season.
Elizabeth Wagmeister Chief Correspondent On “The Idol,” Da’Vine Joy Randolph brings a rare bit of heart to the much-discussed show. Playing Destiny, Jocelyn’s (Lily-Rose Depp) manager, the actor portrays one of the only stabilizing forces surrounding the sexualized pop star who has been wrapped up in a dangerous world, led by wannabe musician and cult leader Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye). Randolph was hand-picked by “Idol” co-creator Sam Levinson after the “Euphoria” creator took over the show during a complete overhaul in which he shot it again, after an initial version helmed by Amy Seimetz was completely scrapped, Randolph says. Controversy began before the show even premiered, with a Rolling Stone article that claimed production on “The Idol” had gone “disgustingly off the rails” and that Levinson’s version played like “twisted torture porn.”
It’s time for one last adventure with Indiana Jones, and a few new faces are joining our favorite archaeologist — including Shaunette Renée Wilson‘s Agent Mason.
Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has arrived in cinemas – but should you remain seated for the credits?The latest offering marks the fifth and final instalment of the franchise, and sees acting legend Harrison Ford reprise his role as the daring adventurer.With the first part of the movie being set in 1944, Dial Of Destiny kicks off with the whip-cracking archaeologist looking to retrieve one half of the Antikythera – an ancient dial built by Archimedes – from a Nazi scientist (played by Mads Mikkelsen).The remainder of the film ventures forward to 1969, where Jones partners up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) to locate and retrieve the other half, and potentially alter the course of history.The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, but fans will still be curious to know if a post-credits scene teases future possibilities for the franchise.Unlike other Disney titles, this Indy offering doesn’t feature a post-credits or mid-credits scene. So once the film ends, you’re safe to leave.The lack of any teasers perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Ford himself has made it clear on numerous occasions that this is his final outing as Indiana Jones.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.

Ethan Shanfeld “There is some kinky-ass shit in this house,” says Destiny in the fourth episode of HBO’s “The Idol,” apparently assuming the role of this series’ viewers. “This shit is weird, scary shit.” As the Weeknd’s Tedros tightens his grip on Lily-Rose Depp’s Jocelyn — both metaphorically and literally, with his hands around her waist in the studio — her managers, played by Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Hank Azaria, plot to save their troubled client from the predatory nightclub mogul. At the beginning of the episode, Destiny (Randolph) and Chaim (Azaria) run through Tedros’ rap sheet, which is full of violence and abuse charges. Oh, and his real name is Mauricio Costello Jackson.
