The Homecoming

"Ryan visits Trey on Thanks Giving"
Series 01, Episode 11
Episode Guide - Review - Quotes

Review
Ok, 2 girls in one house that Seth is making out with. When does that really happen? It's so cliché. Still it was a good episode, the return to Chino really brought it back to Ryan's dark past which is always welcome to the show.

Cringe factor was quite high with Seth's situation but again one of the best episodes I have seen. The O.C. is really starting to provide none stop entertainment that I want to keep watching. Surprising? Well I have to say there are few shows that are doing that at the moment. Six Feet Under comes close but most shows are in the shadows at the moment.

The ending was quite moving too, the drive away from Chino then the ending sequence with the 3 eating fast food. Kind of like the life we all wish he had. Although that could be to do with the fact they all live in huge houses and freeload off their parents.

Rachael turns up and Sandy tells her and Jimmy to have a seat. There is an awkward silence before Kirsten and Sandy run for it. Ryan comes in and tells them he is off. Sandy gives him a cell phone for emergencies. Kirsten gives Ryan a pie to take to Trey.

Ryan goes out and gets into the car to find Marissa in the passenger seat. He isn't sure about the plan but lets her come in the end. They drive off. At the prison they go through several gates and find Trey wearing an orange jump suite and looking pretty beaten up. Ryan introduces Marissa and Ryan and Trey hug. Marissa leaves them to talk.

Ryan and Trey make some small talk then Ryan asks him what he needs. Trey tells him that he needs to pick up a stolen car to drop off so that Trey's $6,000 debt can be paid off. Ryan plans to drop Marissa off but she says she is not leaving. Anna arrives and offers to help out.

Caleb suggests that they all eat here. Julie asks where Kirsten is but she says she doesn't know. Julie finds Rachael and Jimmy sat next to each other.

Ryan drives Marissa through his old neiboughhood. They get out and knock on someone's door, called Teresa apparently. Ryan asks to speak to her brother. Teresa used to live next door to Ryan. Marissa doesn't seem too comfortable with the situation. Ryan and Marissa go in and say hello to the family. Ryan goes out to look at the car, Marissa says there. Teresa say Marissa won't cook as she will have maids.

Caleb comes into the kitchen and suggests he and Kirsten talk but Kristen says they don't need to. Anna confronts Caleb about his development on the wetlands. The door goes and Seth answers it. It is Summer who was suppose to be eating with Marissa. Summer suggests they talk and Seth takes him to the pool house. When they come in Summer dives on Seth and they make out. Teresa tells Marissa about how Ryan just suddenly left one day.

Ryan is told he doesn't have to do this for Trey but Ryan seems insistent. Kirsten seems to be having plenty to drink and is not happy about Caleb just turning up and using her like this. Seth comes back inside and finds Anna. Anna suggests they take some along time in the pool house but Seth steers them into his room.

Anna moves in to kiss Seth but he moves away. Finally Anna gets him to start kissing. He makes an excuse and leaves Anna to get better acquainted with his horse, Captain Oates. Seth calls Ryan for advice on what to do but Ryan has problems of his own. The car is ready to go. Seth blurts out that Marissa is in Chino. Caleb asks to talk with Kirsten again.

The car is ready to go but Ryan is unhappy about finding out about how Marissa lied to him about Julie letting her go. Ryan tells her to go back to New Port while he does this. Summer and Seth are making out in the pool house.

All the adults are round the table talking; Seth walks through ignoring them and finds Anna playing with Captain Oates. They start making out again and Anna tries to get him to take his top off but he keeps it on, makes yet another excuse and leaves. Summer comes into the kitchen and thinks she is talking to Seth but it turns out to be Sandy. She feels awkward then runs for it. Sandy looks surprised she is here.

Ryan delivers the car but they start on him. He punches one of them and runs for Marissa who has just turned up in the car. They drive off with the guys chasing after them. The adults continue to argue and Seth talks to Sandy about his problem as he can't decide which one to go with.

The turkey is ruined and sets off the fire alarm. Summer and Anna come in and shout at Seth and reveal everything. They both storm out while the adults stand around and stare at the turkey. Ryan goes back to see Trey and Ryan tells them they are done and that he should take his chance with his life rather than coming back to see him.
