[female narrator]
Previously, on "The O.C.."

Julie Cooper, will you marry me?

- Oh, my God.
- Was I really mean to you?

That would've required you
to speak to me.

Lot's changed in a year, huh?

- Are we really gonna do this?
- I think we already are.

He really loves me, Ryan.

You ran away to Newport
to get away from him.

Then you just took off
without even calling?

Yeah, like when you left Chino.

How'd it go today
with the, uh, liquor board?

Working on it.

As of today, I'm the only chance
your father has.

You mean you wouldn't want
my mom to know

that you blackmailed me
into living with her?

You know what we haven't done
in a while?

- Two weeks.
- Sorry?

Two weeks. Unbelievable.

Who would believe it?
I don't believe it.

Ohh. It's the Tourette's
flaring up again.

Happens every now and again,
but it's fine.

Julie and Caleb's wedding
invitation. Getting married in..

- Two weeks.
- Wow, they're really doing it.

An unfortunate image
just leapt in my mind.

I mean, I just, I don't
understand. What is the rush?

Honey, it's the gruesome
twosome. What do you expect?

It's the shock-and-awe approach
to courtship.

Julie Cooper's getting married
to my father

and you're being flip.

Me, being flip about Caleb?

No. I'm kind of softening
on the guy.

He may not be friendly
or ethical

or, you know, a million laughs.

- But he is..
- Generous.

Well, either that
or he's in love and delusional

because he threw out
a ballpark figure

for what he's offering Jimmy
and me for the restaurant.

- It ain't chump change.
- Hmm.

So he's bought your acceptance.

But at a very high price.

Hey, how's Marissa dealing
with her new stepdad?

Yeah, is she, is she alright
with all that?

Yeah, she'll be in the wedding.
She agreed to that. So..

And you two? You, you-you, uh..
What, are you-are you back to..

Yeah, yeah, we're good,
actually, uh, really good.

Wow. Really good for you is like
singing from the treetops.

Now that you and Marissa
are really good

does that mean you and Theresa
are really over?

Yeah, yeah.
Me and Theresa, yeah.

Well, now that we've got your
love life straightened out

I think it might be time
to take a step back

and untangle this incestuous web
that I like to call

the "Julie-Caleb union."
Now, let's think about this.

When this bizarro knot gets tied

Julie Cooper's gonna be
your mother-in-law.

- Oh..
- Yeah, enjoy.

- She's gonna be your stepmom.
- Seth, my head is spinning.

Yeah. Yeah. Me and Marissa,
we could be related.

I don't know.
I can't even do that math.

But the real kicker is

Julie Cooper, my grandma.

My grandma wears UGGs.
Think about it.

[Ryan]
'I am thinking about it.'

- Hello.
- Hi.

It's Theresa, Ryan's friend.

Oh, hey, there. How are you?
Let me get him for you.

[Theresa]
Uh, actually,
I'm calling for you.

I-I was wondering
if maybe we could meet.

- Are you alright?
- Uh-huh.

Um, I just
have a legal question.

- Can we meet?
- Sure, you name the spot.

I picked up some catering shifts
at the Balboa Bakery.

I-I have a break at 1:00
if you want to stop by.

'And, Mr. Cohen,
one more thing.'

Yeah.

Please don't say anything
to Ryan

about any of this.

You got it.
I'll see you then.

- Hello.
- I need one minute.

Ah, you and me both.

You have no idea how hard it is

to plan a spectacular wedding
in only two weeks.

Mr. Lasser,
could you repeat that?

I have a caterer who's flat out
refusing to serve beef.

Something about a mad cow

threatening to wipe out
Newport Beach?

Julie, phone.

Ironically,
the minister I wanted

is away on his honeymoon.

And my wedding planner's
a passive-aggressive nitwit

who has the audacity to question
my taste in music.

Bob Seger is not so over.

I-I-I'm gonna have to call
you back.

- How can I help?
- 'Okay.'

'Normally, I would never
bother you.'

But there is one small thing
you can help me with.

A shower. And by help,
I mean host.

Julie, I can't host a shower.

I know it's last-minute

but I thought
as my maid of honor

that you'd want to.

Wait.
Your maid of honor?

Look, Kiki, you're my closest
friend. Who else would it be?

Well, I was thinking Marissa.

I'm not exactly Marissa's
favorite person right now.

But Caleb is convinced
that he can get her to help

and he's already made
all the arrangements

to have it at the club.

- In that case..
- You're a godsend! Thank you.

Um, oh, one more thing.

Let's not have one of those
tacky, girly showers

with the lingerie and the games
about making whoopee.

Julie, don't say whoopee.

I was thinking a couples shower,
elegant.

A cocktail party with gifts.
What do you think?

And if you have any other
questions, just ask Marissa.

Thanks.

[sighs]

♪ I met a girl like you once ♪

♪ Except for she had

- A couples shower?
- What is a couples shower?

Something I'm not throwing
for my mom.

That was a message from Caleb

saying that per our arrangement

he wants me to help Kirsten
throw a shower for my mom.

What about moving in with them?
Have you told your dad yet?

No, but I will.

Today.

Look, if you don't wanna throw
this shower

then don't.
Stand your ground.

Standing my ground is not really
my strong suit.

- That's true.
- Ooh. Pac-Man. Rematch?

Hey, I almost, maybe,
might beat you this time.

[giggles]

What is it with those two?

The Pac-Man, and the getting
along and the happy times.

They're playing video games.
It's not a Mandy Moore movie.

No. She's supposed to be crying

and he's supposed to be
brooding. That's how it works.

Hello?

Hi. Yeah,
we're still on for tonight.

[gasps]
Fajitas? Yeah, okay.

I'm gonna make the margs.

Kidding. God.
Oh, my God, I know.

Oh, my God.
No, you're so funny.

No, you are. No, you.

Okay, I'll see you later.
Bye, dad.

- Dad?
- Hmm, yeah.

That's how you talk to your dad?

How's how I talk to my dad?

Like he's your friend.

- He is. He's my best friend.
- Why have I never met him?

I was beginning to wonder
if you even had parents.

I thought you were maybe, like,
made in a lab

or hatched in a pod
or something.

So we haven't done the whole
family meet-and-greet.

Yeah, I know we haven't,
which is kind of odd to me

considering that you've met
my dad, you've met my mom.

You met Captain Oats,
the list goes on and on.

I've just never introduced
a boyfriend to my dad before.

- It's kind of a big deal.
- Hmm.

Well, you're forgetting
one key factor here, Summer.

- What?
- Parents love me, okay?

I've got this non-threatening,
non-sexual vibe

and they just eat that right up.

We'll go, uh, miniature golfing

or hot-tubbing or something fun.

Well, my stepmom's
at Canyon Ranch.

Ooh. Drying out?

Uh, no, she's on some
stress-management program.

She has anxiety issues.

So?

We can go to lunch with my dad.

Nice. You sure you want to skip
the hot tub?

Okay, lunch is good.

We'll do lunch.

But your dad's
not gonna need a menu

'cause he's gonna be eating
out of the palm of my hand.

[laughing]

The palm of my hand, Summer.

Hey.

Oh, my God.

Who did that to you?

I'm sorry to call you
out of the blue like this.

Was it Eddie?

He's been under a lot of stress.

He lost his job
and his apartment

and, uh

the other night, he had a couple
drinks, and he just...went off.

So you're leaving him, I hope.

[exhales]
It's complicated.

I know, it should be simple.

Your boyfriend hits you,
you leave him, right?

It's never simple.

How can I help you?

I just need to know, you know,
if he does this again

what would happen to him
if I pressed charges?

Well, it depends, you know.

Anything from
a restraining order

to jail time.

You're not still thinking
about marrying the guy, are you?

Not if you gotta ask
these kinds of questions.

[knock on door]

Hey.

So, you, me, my dad

lunch tomorrow at the club.

Awesome. By the end
of this lunch

I predict your father and I,
smoking Cuban cigars.

You know what I'm saying?
Trading Viagra yuks.

Maybe I'll put on a little
Dean Martin. I don't know.

Oh. Well, you know,
he's not 75, right?

I do know that,
but male bonding's

a very old-school activity.
You know what I'm saying.

We may not even make it
the whole way through lunch.

We may just skip straight over
to the Russian baths.

Okay, well, tomorrow
just sit under a light.

My dad wants you to sit under
a bright light

so he can see you better.

And order steak because he
thinks greens are effeminate.

Celery's gay, got it. What else
you got for me actually?

I want to prep,
I wanna make sure

I lock into some
witty anecdotes.

- 'Wanna bring my A material.'
- Okay. He's a plastic surgeon.

Yeah. No, I know what he does
for a living

and that's fun.
We can have fun with that.

But let's also talk about
things like hobbies

and what do you guys talk about.
What do you talk about?

- Hmm, mostly we talk about me.
- You?

Yeah, you know, it's like
our common interest.

- You wanted to meet him.
- I do. I do.

I just, was kind of hoping
for some.. You know what I mean?

Look..

...my dad really loves me.

And I really like you.

So he's gonna really like you.

- Right?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

[smooching]

We should go to the bedroom.

Yeah.

Oh, but Marissa,
she's gonna be home soon.

Right, right, right.
So we should, uh..

- Yeah.
- Ohh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about all this
sneaking around.

I mean, it's, it's so
incredibly high-school.

Yeah.

Dad. Hailey?

Ooh. Hey, kiddo. Hi.

Uh, Hailey was just over to
help me fix my, um--

- Faucet.
- My faucet, which is..

Remember it was leaking?

'And, uh, you know, she's, um'

an expert on, uh, plumbing.

- I should go.
- Okay.

Now that the faucet is,
you know, fixed.

Okay. Yeah, listen,
thank you so much.

'You know,
if anything else breaks'

'then, uh,
I'll give you a call.'

- But, thank you.
- Alright.

- Bye.
- See you.

Wow. You guys really need
to work on your improv skills.

Look, I wanted to talk to you
about it. I did, I-I did but I..

With your mom and Caleb,
I figured the last thing

you needed to deal with
was this.

Dad, dad, I'm fine with it.

You know what? Better than that,
I'm happy for you.

What's the matter?

[scoffs]
It's just with mom
and Caleb getting married

and, and they're moving
into this new house, so..

Look, I know a lot
is changing, kiddo

but it's not,
it's not all bad.

You know Caleb is buying out
the restaurant?

- I know.
- Yeah.

And, you know,
we're gonna be okay.

I mean, like, seriously okay.

We're talking
millions of dollars.

We're gonna get out
of this place

we're gonna move
into a real home

and start over.

Isn't that great?

Yeah. Yeah, it's great.

[telephone ringing]

- Seth's meeting your dad?
- Yeah, so?

Oh, well, that's gonna go well.

Oh, well, actually, Marissa

it will go well.
Do you know why?

Turns out I'm great
with the parents, okay.

I'm actually better
with the parents.

- Than I am with the daughters.
- I believe that.

You know, I think we know

I'm pretty good
with the daughters.

You know what I mean?

This little one right here.

- Her daddy's gonna feel it.
- Yeah.

I can't believe
Eddie would hit her.

Oh, I know,
and Theresa has made it clear

she does not want
to press charges, you know.

So unless she changes her mind,
there's only so much I can do.

Well, at least you gave her
someone to talk to.

Somewhere to go.
It's a start.

Yeah, until she decides
to go back to Chino

and marry the guy anyway.

What about Ryan?
He must be beside himself.

Boy, you wouldn't know it
from looking at him.

- He doesn't know.
- What?

Theresa had me promise
that I wouldn't tell him.

She knows...
he'd fly off the handle.

And he'd go back to Chino
and beat

the living daylights
out of Eddie.

At which point,
he breaks his probation

and he ends up back in juvie.

Ryan, need something?
More soda?

I got it. What's going on?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing. Okay.

Come on, man, just pick one.
Marissa's gonna be here soon.

Ryan, don't rush me.
I've got a lot riding on this.

You said you were good with
parents. Great with parents.

Yeah, 'cause I've got
so much experience

being introduced
to my girlfriend's parents.

Damn it, I'm being sarcastic.

So? Sarcasm's like
breathing for you.

Yeah, Summer's dad thinks
sarcasm's a sign of weakness.

Sounds like a smart man.

I have to fool him.
Do you understand?

I have to spin
an elaborate web of lies

smoke and mirrors,
for an entire meal.

Only then,
can I earn his trust.

I hope you're not gonna be like
this during lunch.

What about this one? Too edgy?
Too fashion-forward?

- It's a white colored shirt.
- That's a good point.

White shirts make my teeth
look yellow.

[doorbell rings]

That's Marissa,
better go find her

before she runs into her mom.

[sighs]

- Hey.
- Hey.

Uh, your mom's in there
with Kirsten.

- Maybe I'll come back later.
- No.

You told Kirsten
you'd stop by, right?

I just don't wanna deal
with my mom right now.

I mean all I wanna do
is to get back at her

and here I am
throwing her a party.

It'll be fine. Just, uh..

Just take the high road.
You can't lose.

Oh, this looks great,
fruited Israeli couscous.

- 'Mm. Mm-hmm.'
- 'Oh.'

- Oh, honey, hi.
- Hey.

Thanks for coming.

So you stopped by
to help us, huh?

Actually, Kirsten called me

so I stopped by to help Kirsten.

Well, then I'll let you
get to it.

- Kirsten. Ryan.
- Julie.

- You okay?
- Fine.

So, um, what can I do to help?

Uh, you can double check the
guest list with the invitations.

I have everyone
from The Newport Group

all the ladies from spin class.

But there's no one
from Julie's family.

Uh. Yeah. Well, my mom and her
parents sort of, don't speak.

What about her sisters?

Well, there's always Aunt Cindy.

[telephone ringing]

Ah. The caterers. Great.

Aunt Cindy,
you'll get in touch with her?

Yeah.

Oh, hi, George.
What are you doing? Huh.

See? Take the high road.

You've never met Aunt Cindy.

Well.

It's, it's..

It's more than twice
what we put into it.

Oh, you caught me
at a good time.

A man in love
has no right doing business.

- Besides, we're family.
- Right.

Although, are we? I don't know.
I can't keep track.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
my fiance wants help

'picking out linens
for the reception.

I had no idea there were
so many shades of beige.

Alright, we'll see you.

[door opens and closes]

He's up to something.

Either that or he's on some
serious painkillers.

But you know what? I don't care.

Two and a half million dollars?
It's like..

I, I can finally breathe again.

You know, I'm happy for you.

But?

Well, I wish it could have been

the place that did it,
not Caleb Nichol.

I thought we'd be rescued
by meat loaf and dirty martinis.

That's how
it was supposed to be.

Hey. Think about it.

All that meat loaf
you'd be making?

It's off your hands.
Now you've got time for work.

That's exactly what I was trying
to get away from.

No, no, no, no.
I mean real work.

The stuff that you love.

Like rescuing kids,
and...down-and-out guys

who are millions of dollars
in debt.

Come on, right now
there's a stray out there

just waiting for you

to swoop down and save the day.

Remember, we are
off-our-asses wasted

and totally lost in the woods

and I gotta go
like nobody's business.

So, I end up
dropping trou right there.

Sure enough,
poison oak everywhere.

Julie tells the whole school.
What a bitch, right?

- Well, charming story.
- Yeah, good times.

Mind if I smoke?

- Uh, actually, I..
- Sorry.

I tried to quit once, but I
ended up putting on 30 pounds.

And who wants to have sex
with that, right?

[chuckles]

Aunt Cindy. Oh, my God!
Look at you!

- Hey.
- Hey.

Ohh. So this is my boyfriend,
Ryan.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Cindy's been telling me some

priceless stories
about your mom.

Yeah, I was telling her
about Julie's Def Leppard phase.

'She was always driving me
to Anaheim'

'to help her scalp tickets.'

I can't believe your mom
was into heavy metal.

I can't believe
she ever went to Anaheim.

So, where is the belle
of the ball anyway?

Doing yoga? Getting Botox?

Uh, you and Julie,
do you talk often?

Sure. If you call once
every seven years often.

'Look, I'll hand it
to you straight.'

I was shocked
she wanted me here.

- You were?
- 'Yeah.'

'The last time I saw her,
and memory's a little foggy'

on account of the Jell-O shots.

I'm pretty sure she told me
to get lost, for good.

Marissa, can I talk to you in..

Oh, hi. I'm so sorry.

I don't mean to interrupt, but..

What the hell
are you doing here?

Well, it's nice to see you too.

I'm here because I was invited
by Marissa.

Marissa, is this true?

Oh, you guys probably

have tons to catch up on

so, I'm gonna give you
some alone time.

Yeah, we should probably
get that cake too.

Right. Have fun.

And I decided that I wanted
to celebrate both holidays

so what I did is, basically

I combined them,
and I made Chrismukkah.

Mm.

Like Christmas and Hanukkah.

- Chrismukkah.
- Chrismukkah.

Chrismukkah. Well, that must be
a lot of fun for you.

Yeah, we have, we have fun
with it. It's a good time.

But I don't want you to think
I'm all about holiday cheer

I'm hoarding all of them
or anything.

Um, I have, uh, interests.
I have hobbies.

- Do you?
- Sure, I do, sir.

- Comic books, for one.
- Comic books?

Sir, I think I hear
the skepticism in your tone.

'And I understand, and believe
me, but I just wanna tell you'

that I do believe that a comic
book is a legitimate art form.

Frank Miller's "Sin City,"
uh, "Powers" by Brian Bendis

is arguably one of the best
writers in comics today.

I mean, combines sort of the,
the storytelling panache

'of, like a, like a,
like a Stan Lee'

'like that old-school vibe
but mixed with a lyrical'

you know sophistication of,
I want to say Alan Moore.

It's probably too inside
for you, but, you know

you're probably a fan
of the classics.

Uh, Superman?

Batman fan? No?

Iceman?

He freezes things.

- So, Summer--
- Uh, isn't Summer the best?

Little force of nature,
just sitting there.

- Little live wire.
- Yes, she is.

I think she's so full
of vim and vigor, I do.

What would you say, in your
professional surgical opinion

she has more of?
Would you say it's vim?

Or would you say it's vigor?

Cohen, what are you
talking about?

Summer. Summer,
I'm just saying that I think

you've been extraordinarily
blessed with vim.

- And vigor too, sir.
- What do you say we order?

- Okay. I like food.
- Yes.

So we just say
that we're very happy together.

And we hope that they can be
happy for us.

- Yeah.
- You know?

Easy.

[sighs]

Hailey?

The door?

But what if it isn't
the right time

because my dad's getting married
to Julie.

And then, Kirsten's planning
the shower, so..

You-you know what, we should,
we should wait until the

the timing's right.
You know what I'm saying?

That's 'cause timing's wrong.

- Yeah. Yes.
- Right. Okay, good.

- Okay, great.
- Excellent.

- This is a good idea too.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm so sorry.
- I feel sorry..

Oh..

[Marissa]
'Did you see the look
on my mom's face?'

- So much for the high road.
- Yeah, this is way more fun.

Hi, we're here to pick up
a cake for Cooper.

- Mm-hmm. Let me check on that.
- Thanks.

Oh, my God, this is amazing.
You've got to try this.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

[laughing]

- You need another piece?
- Stop!

Theresa, what, what happened?

- Eddie?
- Didn't wanna get you involved.

You weren't even
supposed to know I was here.

I guess Sandy went ahead
and told you anyway.

Sandy, Sandy knows about this?

- Hey, where have you been?
- Uh, I couldn't sleep.

I thought maybe watching the sun
come up and getting my ass

kicked by some 4-footers
would help. It didn't.

Here's that vanilla half-caf
caramel macchiato

on the dry side
you love so much.

Ohh, it's so good.
It's only 1500 calories per sip.

Hey, what time
is that shower today?

Mm. Why?

'Cause I might be a little late.

I don't know
how bad the traffic is.

We live ten minutes
from the club.

But I'll be coming from Chino.

- What do you mean?
- I wanna pay Eddie a visit.

Knock some sense into him.

- Uh-huh.
- Metaphorically, of course.

At the very least,
give him a good scare.

- Uh-huh.
- I'm taking back the coffee.

There are plenty of people here
that need to hear from you.

- Ryan is really upset.
- Uff! What can I do?

- He won't talk to me.
- Explain it to him.

Instead of trying to match him
glare for glare.

And what about Theresa?

The victim, alone,
in the motel room.

She'd love to hear from you.

Why don't you call her
and invite her over.

- You can keep the coffee.
- Thank you.

[Sandy]
'Oh, I know you're pissed off.'

I would have explained things
to you last night but I couldn't

not until Theresa
gave me the okay.

You guys decided to include me.
Hey, thanks.

I'm a lawyer. She asked for
privacy, she's entitled to it.

She's getting beat up,
and you keep it from me?

What if I had told you?
Then what?

What are you gonna do about it?

I-I don't know, help her.

How? Go to Chino? See Eddie?

Land in the hospital
or jail or worse?

Theresa was protecting you.

- You should have told me.
- Well, I didn't.

'Cause I knew you'd get riled up
and do something stupid.

And now that you do know

I sure hope you don't
prove me right.

- What about Theresa?
- She's on her way here.

You know, if she's around people
that care about her

she's less likely to go
running back to him.

I gotta get ready
for the shower.

Do we understand each other?

Hey, is your father around?
I didn't even see him.

- Then I guess not.
- That's cool.

No, I just figured he'd maybe

want to say hey or something.

Uh, do you know where he is?

No, didn't say.

Oh. Ohh.

Oh. Hmm. I know
what I wanted to ask you.

Did he say anything
about the lunch?

- Not really. Hmm-mm.
- No, I didn't think he would.

I mean, it got a little awkward
there in the comic-book part.

But I think
it turned a good corner

at, like, the bread basket.

- Bread basket?
- Yeah.

Yeah, he asked me,
you know, to pass the bread.

I said, "You're gonna probably
wanna go bread stick

as opposed to dinner roll."

He went bread stick.
That shows he trusts me.

Didn't clock that.

Oh. Well..

So, uh, so I didn't even get
a review at all, huh?

Not that I read my own press,
but, I mean

nothing involving thumbs
or, uh, stars or..

We should go.

You should have told me.

Right.

Because you would have taken
the news so well.

You would have tried
to kill him.

He deserves it.

Yeah, well, this is my problem.

Not yours.

I'm the one that has to figure
this whole thing out.

What is there to figure out?

You're not gonna stay with him?

Right?

I'll take some
self-defense classes.

And, uh, Eddie and I will live
happily ever after.

- How can you joke?
- Because I'm tired of crying.

Okay?

I haven't seen you like this
in a while.

What? Flustered? Upset?

Heading to a Newport party
against my will?

Passionate. Driven.

This is the man I married.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

So, are you ready to face
the happy couple?

- The gruesome twosome?
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hi.

So, Theresa,
I hope you've decided

to join us for the shower.

Oh, thanks, but I'm

I'm not really looking my best.

I have some concealer upstairs.

Works like a magic wand.

She's right. You should see her
without the stuff on.

Terrifying.

[chuckles]

Hey. Are you guys ready
to go to the shower?

Hey, Theresa.

Theresa's in town for a while.

Just till I get things
straightened out.

Of course. Well, then you
should come to the shower.

Thanks.

[upbeat music]

- Julie, congratulations.
- Thank you.

And, Kirsten,
what a lovely party.

Thank you.

Is it too early
to start drinking?

I hope not, or I'm in trouble.
Thank you.

After all your mom's
been through

she deserves a man
like Caleb Nichol.

You two will never have to worry
about money, ever again.

[clears throat]
Will you excuse me?

Which way is the ladies' room?

Look at her, flirting
with her sister's boyfriend

like she's in
seventh grade again.

For once, I actually know
what you mean.

Wonder which of my
past humiliations

she's telling him about now.

Oh, my God. Did she just say
"Monster truck?"

Julie, you were into
monster trucks?

I better get over there or there
might not even be a wedding.

[chuckling]

Hey, Juju,
your ears must be burning.

I was just telling Cal here

about you and me and Knott's
Berry Farm.

Cindy, thank you
for entertaining Cal here

but you should go.
Try the pastries.

Maybe it'll soak up
some of that whiskey.

Does anybody want anything?

- Tequila shooter?
- Cindy, go.

I'm sorry about Cindy.

She's got oomph. Spark.

Just like her sister.

Oh, and Julie looks fabulous.

Must be all those
Yogalates classes.

Oh, you know, I've always wanted
to try Yogalates.

- Really?
- Me too. Maybe we should, uh..

Maybe we'll take a class
together, you and I.

These were a huge hit.

Oh, my God, this satay
is flying off my tray.'

[female #1]
'Do you have any crab cakes pot
right now that I can take?'

[male #1]
'Oh, yeah.
Take those right there.'

Needed a break?

Hey.

Yeah. I was just feeling
a little lost out there.

You probably really need
Ryan right now.

Me being here,
I'm just getting in the way.

Hey, it's not your fault.

Look, part of the reason
I didn't wanna tell Ryan

about Eddie is because

he seems really happy right now.

And that's because of you.

Oh, look, Cal, a juicer.

'I need one of these.'

How about a game?

Okay, folks!

Has anyone here ever played

"How Well Do You Know Them?"

Uh, Cindy, everyone here
already knows us.

- That won't be much fun.
- 'Alright.'

'I'm gonna be
Chuck Woolery, alright?'

'I'm gonna ask a question'

and whoever shouts out
the most right answers, wins.

First question.

What is Julie's favorite meal?

Oh, I know this. Chilean sea
bass with roasted baby carrots.

'No. No, the answer is'

the double-double cheeseburger,
heavy on the special sauce

'large fries and an orange soda.
Okay, next question.'

Hi. I've been looking for you.

For both of you.

- Everything's okay?
- Yeah, it's just, at a shower.

Not really what I do.

[cellphone ringing]

- Is that him?
- Yeah.

He's just calling
to-to apologize again.

- I'm not gonna get it.
- What? You been talking to him?

- Leave her alone.
- What are you doing?

What are you doing
still talking to him?

- Okay, please stay out of this.
- Stay out of it?

You came here.
You knew I was gonna find out.

What did you think
I was gonna do?

Theresa, he hit you.
You can't go back to him.

Ryan, it's not that simple,
okay.

You know him. He's not
a bad person. He made a mistake.

- You don't really believe that.
- Yes, I do. I know that.

What? 'Cause you're an expert
on the subject?

What are you gonna tell me?
This isn't the first time?

Has he done it before?

Tell me, Theresa.
Has he hit you before?

Ryan..

[Cindy]
'Growing up,
who was Julie's first love?'

Ooh, Rick Springfield?

Close. The entire defensive line

of our eighth-grade
football team.

I refuse to sit here
and be humiliated.

Oh, crap.

Hey, you're carrying
a purse now?

Not that you shouldn't
accessorize.

You stealing Marissa's car?

If I don't do something,
Theresa's gonna marry that guy.

- You can't go back there.
- Yeah, why not?

Because it's a horrible idea,
and my dad said not to.

She's taking his calls.
They're-they're working it out.

She's gonna go back to him.
It's gonna happen again.

- Dude, don't.
- I don't have a choice.

Hey, man, you do.

Let go of me. Now.

- Is Ryan leaving?
- Yeah.

Oh, he took your car.

[car beeping]

Put down the window.

Get out of the car.

He's done it before.
You know that?

Well, that's the pattern
with these things.

It means he'll do it again.

Don't try to fix this thing,
kid.

I'm your guardian
and I get to call the shots.

- Now, get out of the car.
- Somebody has to stop him.

Theresa has to decide on her own
to leave Eddie.

We can't force her.

I know about these things.
Theresa, Eddie, Chino.

- You don't get it.
- Oh, yes, I do.

I've seen way too many kids
just like him

and I know that it will not be
you to suddenly make him change.

- So you want me to do nothing?
- Yes.

I can't do that.

Thank you very much.

That was quite a scene
out there, huh?

I'll always love Cindy.

So, uh, do you
wanna talk about this?

I know it's, it's weird.

Even though it was years ago
you and I dated

she's still your sister.

It's not jealousy.

I just don't wanna see my friend
make a terrible mistake.

What makes you think
it's a mistake?

Jimmy, this is what Hailey does.

She uses people
to get back at me.

[scoffs]

Kirsten..

...uh, this,
this isn't...about you.

Hailey and I, I, you know,
I don't know, it, it feels real.

Okay.

It's just that

you're starting to do well

and I don't want to see you..

Happy?
Because that's what I am.

It's the first time
since Julie left me

I don't feel completely alone.

So..

...just be happy for me, okay?

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

What do you want, Cindy? Money?

I don't want your money.

Ugh. The hell you don't.

Why else would you come down
here and embarrass me

humiliate me
in front of my friends?

Those people
aren't your friends, okay.

- They don't even know you.
- And you do?

I used to.

Back when you had big hair
and you wore tight jeans.

We were supposed to,
we were supposed to leave

Riverside together, remember?

We were gonna move to LA.

And marry rock stars.

Then you took off.

And you moved to the beach

without me.

I couldn't exactly
take you with me.

I know.

I just..

I miss you sometimes,
that's all.

[instrumental music]

Look..

...I'm sorry
about what happened out there.

Guess I won't be invited
to the wedding, huh?

Of course you'll be invited
to the wedding.

'We wouldn't have it
any other way.'

Thanks.

I'll be outside.

Well, I'm sure you found
Cindy's visit very revealing.

Julie, there is nothing
I could find out about you

that would make me walk away.

Hey, you're avoiding me.

That's cool. I kind of like it.

It's kind of a throwback.
It feels very eighth-grade.

So I'm guessing
that this has something to do

with, uh, me bombing
with your father.

- It was a train wreck, Cohen.
- I was nervous.

- You didn't stop talking.
- I know.

I get chatty when I'm

completely terrified.

Look, next time I'll be, uh,
I'll be the strong silent type.

Or I'll just be silent, okay?

Look, my dad and I
are best friends.

And we've been through
everything together.

And he's never been wrong.

- I mean, he's my dad.
- And he hated me?

You just weren't
what he expected.

Yeah? What was he expecting?
Someone taller?

- Blonder? Presbyterian? What?
- Just different.

My dad's
really protective of me.

Well, look, I'm sorry
if your dad doesn't think

I'm good enough for you.
Okay. Really, I am.

And if that's the way he feels,
that sucks.

But you know what?
It really doesn't matter.

I don't really
have to be his type

because the only thing
that matters

is me and you. Right?

I have to go.

[knock on door]

I thought you'd be in Chino
by now.

I got as far as Corona.

And?

And I realized Eddie wasn't
who I needed to talk to.

What the hell are you doing
going back to him?

It's not gonna happen again.

- He promised me.
- Sure.

Just like he promised
the last time, right?

What am I supposed to do?

My whole life is in Chino.

- So was mine.
- Right. Okay, so what?

I wait for some rich,
perfect family to adopt me

and stick me in their beautiful
pool house? Great idea.

No, you-you can stay
with the Cohens too.

- No, I can't.
- Why not?

Because, I move in there
and then what happens?

I don't know.
I don't know.

But I know what happens
if you go back to Eddie.

So do you.

I am never throwing
another party again.

Oh, honey, don't tease.

Nothing good happens at our
parties. Have you noticed that?

Yeah, the gruesome twosome,
never tighter.

Jimmy and Hailey,
officially a couple.

And Ryan's probably heading back
to juvie right about now.

And if he is

I know just the guy
to get him out.

- Hi.
- Hey, you alright?

How's Eddie?

I decided to take
my lawyer's advice

and went to see Theresa instead.

Hi, Mr. Cohen. Mrs. Cohen.

You can stay as long
as you want.

Thank you.

[Sandy]
You can sleep
in the pool house.

And Ryan,
you can bunk in with Seth

'you know, on the air mattress.'

Come on. Why don't we
get you settled in.

Thanks for doing this.

Kirsten and I would do anything
for you. You know that.

Yeah, me too.

Well, I'm glad to hear it

because we lost the pump.

So somebody's gonna have
to blow that sucker up.

- Hey, Marissa.
- Hey, Kirsten. Is Ryan home?

Uh, yeah,
he's in the pool house.

He's, uh, helping Theresa
get settled in.

- So she's staying?
- Yeah.

He loves you, you know.

I, I know.

Then make room for her
to be in his life.

He's not going anywhere.
