Review
Everyone’s relationships are breaking apart –
it’s closing in on the end of the series and I
am beginning to wonder if everyone is going to have
such a perfectly happy ending after all. I mean that
is the way that these things are going to go. But that
is the O.C. for you, so predictable yet it still keeps
you on edge.
This wasn’t a bad episode although there was
a distinct lack of action. I love emo and many of it’s
surrounding qualities although it was so dry and relationship
based, I mean is this like the first episode ever with
hardly any humour from Seth. It is a core foundation
of the show that seems to have been missed off.
So in conclusion this is far from one of my favourite
episodes. It kept me entertained for the hour none the
less though.
Quotes
Kirsten: “So he’s bought your acceptance”
Sandy: “but at a very high price”
Sandy: “Wow, really good from you is like singing
from the tree tops”
Seth: “Your dads not going to need a menu because
he’s going to be eating out of the palm of my
hand”
Summer: “Mostly we talk about me”
Seth: “You?”
Summer: “Yeah it’s like our common interest”
Ryan: “so, sarcasm is like breathing for you”
Seth: “Ice man – he freezes things”
Teresa: “I’ll take some self defence classes.
And Eddie and I will live happily ever after”

would happen if he did it again and she pressed charges.

the lunch arrangements for tomorrow. Seth continues
to brag about how well he thinks it will go. They begin
to get nervous however when thinking more deeply into
it. Back at Jimmy’s apartment he is making out
with Hailey.
Marissa comes in and interrupts them. Hailey leaves
after they fumble a bad excuse and Marissa busts Jimmy

speech about how they are going to be ok and Marissa
bottles it about telling him. Back at home, Marissa

and violate his probation. Next day Seth is worrying
about what outfit for lunch. Marissa arrives and is
forced to face Julie. Julie leaves and begins to help
Kirsten and begins to suggest people from Julie’s

offer – it is over half what they put in. Caleb

them all about how they haven’t talked in years
when Julie enters and faces off against Cindy. Marissa
and Ryan make a run for it.
At the restaurant, Seth is explaining about how he
merged Christmas and Hanukah. He then goes onto comic
books and Summer’s look shows he isn’t doing
well. Hailey and Jimmy arrive ready to reveal to everyone
although they are both having second thoughts. They
begin to kiss when Kristen and Julie come out.
At the bakery or wherever, Kirsten and Ryan enter to

around with cake when Teresa comes out with their cake.
Seeing Ryan she tries to turn away but it’s too
late and Ryan questions her on what happened.
