The O.C.

Previously on The O.C:

What's the plan again?

The plan is to set them loose

Huh? Pancakes

Can you tell us who else was involved?

No, I'm sorry.

What did you tell them

they needed a scapegoat

and I protected you

But if I serve this one in, you have to go out with me

You're 15.

So a kiss is still out of the question?

You know, my wife just started a business

and she and her partner are thinking about taking on investors

and her partner is newly single

He wants to talk numbers Monday.

Who?The Bullet.

He loves New Match

What the hell you doing here,boy?

You're on a date with my dad?

You know each other? Kiss me.

-Uh, what? -If you don't feel anything.

I will never mention it again.

One kiss.

What's cooking, Ryan?

Hey, Ryan?

Ryan?

I shmeared it for you.

Thanks.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I'm just gonna go see if Seth's up.

I am up, and I'm out of here.

What? Where you going?

I didn't know you were planning a trip.

Neither did Summer, but RISD sent my dorm info,

so I figured I'd check out my new home and give her some moral support for finals.

Are you gonna eat that?

Are you sure that's such a good idea?

Why, did Ryan do something to it?

No, not the bagel,the trip-- I thought you were gonna give Summer some more space.

Well, a little space turned into a lot of missing me.

That's my cab.

E-mail me a Christmukkah list.

I'm gonna be shopping at the Providence Place Mall.

They have carpeting, which is weird.

They have a Dave & Buster's, but parking sucks.

Listen, dude, I really need to talk to you-- it's very important.

Okay, and I want to hear all about it when I land in Providence. Just call me.

Call me.

So we've had a chance to review your situation,

and the board has come to a unanimous decision.

Effective immediately,

you are suspended from this university until next fall.

Suspended?

Breaking into that lab was very serious.

If it wasn't for your excellent record,

the board might have involved the police.

I'm sorry, um, I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to do now.

It's done.

You can go to the dorm and start packing.

But I have finals, and friends.

I'm afraid you're no longer a student here.

But my dad is living in Seattle with the step-monste

And Taylor Townsend is sleeping in my old bed.

And Seth was moving out here so we could be together.

Ms. Roberts, you need to go home.

This is my home.

O.C 06

-=The Last Fantasy=- Proudly Presents

-It's just you and me now.

Summer Bear.

So, I heard the iron fist of justice came crashing down on you swiftly, without mercy.

Yep. Sounds like your plan worked out perfectly.

Oh, come on, that's not fair.

Back at the reservation, they taught us,

sometimes the weaker gazelle must be devoured for the good of the herd.

Oh, Che, just shut up, okay?

Before I tie you up with hemp rope, set you on fire,

and get high off the fumes from your burning flesh.

Dark.

Mm.

I think the fact that you would use hemp proved that I have made a difference in your life.

Yeah, Che, you have.

You got me thrown out of school.

You know, I really liked this place.

I liked who I was becoming at it.

I mean, this was my life.

And you sacrificed it for the good of the... the-the cause.

You're a martyr. You're a hero.

I just wanted to be a student.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I have to find my roommate and tell her that she now has a single.

Are you dirty, Ryan?

Ryan?

Hello?

Hey.

I-I couldn't help but notice that you wanted to talk to Seth.

Oh, did I?

Well, since he's out of town and he's gonna be moving out next semester,

you're gonna need a new Seth.

Don't tell Sandy, but...

I thought I would audition for the job.

Oh, uh, yeah, well, that's, uh, very thoughtful.

So... how does it work?

Do I ask you what's on your mind?

Uh, usually you talk about yourself,

and I solve my problems on my own.

*I couldn't help but notice that you've been spending time with Taylor.

Rea... Have I?

If we're gonna talk about girls,

I am a far more knowledgeable resource than my son.

Okay. But you can't repeat this, all right?

Because if the real Seth found out

I was telling the substitute Seth a real secret...

It's in the vault.

Okay.

I kissed Taylor.

Or she kissed me.

Anyway, there was a kiss, and, uh...

And now you can't stop thinking about her.

Pretty much.

That is so cute.

Okay, Seth never does that.

Sorry.

But it is, and so is she.

Yeah, I know, it's just... me and Taylor?

After everything you've been through over the last few months,

if something good happens, shouldn't you embrace it?

Or at least be open to the possibility?

You're right.

You're right. Thanks.

Okay.

So do I get the job?

You're on the short list.

Spencer, what brings you to Casa de Cooper?

Your racket.

You restrung it for me.

That's so sweet.

Yeah, I went with the Pro-Flex Fiber Tour.

It should, uh... it should cut down on the tension.

Good, because I've been having a lot of stress lately.

I could use a little bit of... relaxing.

String tension, Kaitlin.

Well, now that you and my mom are over,

maybe you can help me with my stroke.

Yeah, right.

Look, you got a great backhand, but, uh, no offense, I kind of have

a "no jail bait" policy.

Lame.

You know, maybe you should try, uh, try meeting guys from your school.

-You mean boys? -Exactly. Yeah, because

you're in high school.

You know, that place with desks and chalkboards and kids.

Those are people your own age.

I don't know, maybe...

maybe you should try hanging out with them.

Hi, Ryan.

I got to go, can't talk.

I'm-I'm not here to see you.

I'm just covering for Seth while he's gone.

That's nice.

Sorry that I kissed you.

What?

No, its... it's cool.

It's obviously not okay.

You're totally uncomfortable around me now.

No, no. Um...

It's... the kiss is not a problem.

Really? Good, because usually when I kiss a guy, it ends in tears.

His, not mine,

because, like,I'm a bit of a lip biter and, you know, sometimes I draw blood and...

Taylor?

Yeah?

What are you doing tonight?

Oh, I'm updating my blog.

It's kind of Felicity by way of Anais Nin,

the erotic memoirs of a soulful college girl.

Taylor, tonight, are you busy?

Oh. Blog, shmog.

-Is-is that a yes? -Yes, it is a yes, squared.

*In all caps, with a exclamation mark and a smiley-faced emoticon.

A simple yes will do.

Yes.

Great, all right, well, I'll see you tonight.

Hey, do you just want to come up to the comic book store?

There's a flat-screen TV, SurroundSound, a bevy of Blu-ray anime.

All right. See you then.

Hey, Eric.

Kaitlin, hey.

What are you doing here?

It seems like people at this school like to watch hairless wonders in banana slings.

I'm just trying to fit in.

Oh, cool.

Well, good to see you.

Ask her.

No, you ask her. *I'm not gonna ask her, I don't know who she is...

Do you bitches have a problem?

We saw you talking to Eric Ward.

Oh, my God, he is so hot.
