The Secret

"Luke's dad, Carson, comes out of the closet"
Series 01, Episode 12
Episode Guide - Review - Quotes

Review
Cool episode. I finally learned where one of the final clips from the Channel 4 trailer comes from when they all walk up. It must be somewhere cool and exciting I thought. But no, it's school. Still it was good to see them all together.

Over than that I thought the storylines seemed to revolve around a lot and never really stayed fixed. A bit distorted. Definatly a decent episode though.

Quotes
Sandy: "Oh the Summer flu, I just got it"

Summer: "You're like flossing. At school"

Julie: "Maybe you deserve to go to jail"

Seth: "It's like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader teaming up to destroy the emperor"

Sandy: "Create a visualisation Jimmy. I am finding it hard not to see your head as something I should hit."

Sandy: "He didn't want there to be any secrets between us. Apparently you don't feel the same way"

Ryan: "It's been months, I am still the kid from Chino who burned a house down"
Marissa: "I am still the girl that tried to kill herself in Mexico"
Seth: "I'm, well, I'm still Seth Cohen"
