Review
Ah Seth you constant entertainment machine. Another
decent episode though I don't think it matched up to
the homecoming or the secret. Still not a bad episode,
especially with Summer and Seth. But again there was
more frustration between him being incapable of making
one decision.
It moved the plot along ok though and I haven't lost
interest so I guess it severed an ok job as a mid-season
episode.

followed by one day of many presents"

you"

it must be Christmas"
Episode Guide
Seth introduces to Ryan to Chrismukka, a highbred of
Hanukah and Christmas that he created. They ask what
Ryan would like to incorporate but Ryan says his holidays
never went well. Roll opening credits. Seth is sat in
the pool house cutting up all sort of material to wrap
presentations. Seth tells Ryan he is getting Summer
and Anna the same thing.
Kirsten makes out a Christmukka list for Ryan. Sandy
comes in and says that Caleb has refused his latest
settlement offer and wants to go to trial. Seth is paranoid
about Chrismukka being ruined.
Jimmy asks Marissa about ties. She asks about his job
interview today, but he says it is a meet and greet.
Marissa suggests they skip Christmas but Jimmy says
no way. Marissa seems depressed although she is trying
to hide it. At school Summer and Anna come up and ask
him about arrangements to the party that night, at the
same time. Seth tells them both to meet him there.
Julie is organising the putting up of her tree. Kirsten
talks to Caleb about him turning down the $200 million
offer for the land but Caleb says he can get another
$100 million out of them. Kirsten tells him she is taking
Christmas vacation. Marissa tells Ryan she hates Christmas.
She say is going to the holiday party tonight. Ryan
tells her he is going shopping and Marissa insists she
comes with him.
At the mall they kiss and look at gifts. But neither
of them can actually afford to shop there anymore. Marissa
and Ryan head to the car to leave but Marissa is stopped
by a security guard who says she must hand over her
purse immediately. Ryan tells him to back off but Marissa
says it is ok and hands it over. Inside there is the
watch that Ryan wanted to buy but could not afford.
Seth comes home and Kirsten tells him she is on vacation
despite the fact she is reviewing papers. Seth notices
presents for Ryan from his mother and Trey. Kirsten
spots something which alarms her but doesn't tell Seth.
She phones someone and asks for a copy of a document.
Julie bursts into Jimmy's apartment to ask about the
incident at the mall. She blames Jimmy. Jimmy says they
were discussing punishments but Julie says no car, no
allowance, no weekends but says she must come to the
party tonight. Julie asks why Marissa did it but Marissa
is unable to find the words. Julie tells her she called
the therapist and has scheduled her an appointment.
Ryan tells Seth about what Marissa did. Seth gives
Ryan a stocking. Sandy comes in to find Kirsten drinking
alone in their bedroom. He seems happy as he settled
with Caleb for $250 million. Sandy says Caleb wants
to spend the holiday as a family. Kirsten gives Sandy
the document - it clearly destroys Caleb's case but
Kirsten thinks she will get fired. Anna turns up at
Seth's place as does Summer. The Seth not picking a
girl is clearly causing tension.
Sandy and Kirsten come down to find Summer and Anna
sat on either side of Seth. Elsewhere Ryan suggests
that seeing a therapist might be good for Marissa. Marissa
says if nobody is making her parents go to therapy,
nobody is making her. She asks Ryan to go get a jacket
or something for her and when he is gone she takes a
liquor bottle from a cupboard.
At the party, Seth goes off to find Ryan to stop himself
from having to pick a girl. Sandy wants to talk to Caleb
but he says it isn't the time and joking suggests he
spokes the tree. Julie questions Kirsten about what
she thinks about the party and what Caleb's opinion
is. There is beat between Julie and Marissa over the
therapy.
Sandy goes to see Caleb again and confronts him with
the geological survey of the Heights where he is planning
to develop. Sandy points out that the whole area is
geologically unstable and uninsurable. He offers him
$1 to buy back the Heights. Caleb refuses but Sandy
gives him a dollar and says happy Christmas. Seth is
alone with Anna and she gives him a comic she hand drew.
Jimmy speaks to Kirsten about parenting. He seems to
be wondering about Marissa's actions but Kirsten says
there have been several incidents with Seth. She also
points out that they did plenty of things when they
were young. Kirsten says they have good kids. Cuts to
Marissa pouring the bottle of liquor into her coke and
downing it.
Summer steals Seth away when Anna goes to get drinks
and brings him into a room and takes her dress off to
reveal a wonder woman outfit. Anna comes in and interrupts
them. Seth tries to hold the situation together but
they say Seth has to choose between them. They leave
to allow him to think about it.
Marissa returns to the party and tries to get Ryan
to dance. She seems drunk. Ryan points out he doesn't
drink alone in the bathroom. Marissa leaves and gets
back in her car. Ryan stops the car by standing in front
of it. Marissa backs up and hits someone else's car.
Meanwhile Caleb makes a speech announcing that he has
sold the Heights for $1. Caleb walks off and whispers
happy Hanukah to Sandy as he passes him.
Ryan is driving Marissa home. She pulls out the liquor
bottle but drops the lid. The are pulled up by the police.
The officer is about to look around but is called away.
He lets them off with a warning for the tail light.
When he leaves, Ryan gets out and throws the bottle
from the car. He is angry as he left these problems
behind in Chino.
Seth tells Ryan about what Anna and Summer said. Ryan
tells Seth what happens and Seth points out he didn't
get busted as he was saved by a Chrismukka miracle.
Seth speaks to Anna and Summer separately and asks them
both to be friends but they both say they don't want
to be his friend and give him the gift back.
Caleb storms in about what Kirsten did but Kirsten
tells him it was going to come out eventually. Caleb
points out it was evil and ruthless and that he might
be able to make a real estate mogul out of her yet.
Sandy invites Ryan to a movie but Ryan says he is going
with Marissa to therapy. Sandy talks Ryan into going
to the movies. Marissa arrives at therapy and meets
Oliver, a student who goes to Pacific. Oliver guesses
at what is wrong with her, and his guess is pretty good.
She goes into the room.
At home Ryan arrives back to find out what happened
with Seth. He tells Seth he is going to hang his stocking
after all.
