03x18 - The Undertow

[bunniefuu]

Opening scene - Cohen family room - the first thing we see is the TV, on the screen is a 2 player game (there is a split screen) I cant tell what it is but it seems like sh**t em up. we then see Seth and Ryan sitting on the couch together with controllers looking very engrossed in the game. the camera then shows Summer who is not so thrilled with them playing the game, she looks bored as hell and is looking at her hair in her hand with a frown

Summer: Cohen, the Brown interviews like in eleven hours (holds hand out) don't you think you should be prepping for it

Seth: nope, I've got a new approach ta interviews its called don't think about it

Summer: well I guess that's better than your last approach

(Sadie comes in from the kitchen carrying snacks. Ryan gets distracted by her)

Ryan: (looks) hey, what's all that like, oh (looks at Seth)

Sadie: (puts food down) little half time buffet, pretzels, ding dongs, ? (sits next to Seth) tryin'a mix it up

(Seth and Ryan scoot down to make room for Sadie)

Seth: that's always appreciated, Ryan you ready for a rematch

Ryan: oh do we have'to

(Summer doesn't look thrilled with the idea of watching Seth and Ryan play more, poor thing. she rests her chin on her hand and looks at them)

Sadie: I thought I called winners

(Ryan and Seth look at Sadie. Seth laughs almost patronisingly. Ryan smiles and shakes his head a little. Sadie raises her eyebrows at Seth keenly)

Seth: no offense I jus don't think you should (Ryan shakes his head) (looks at Sadie) step inta the ring with me

Summer: yeah before Ryan an I came Playstation was pretty much his best friend

Sadie: (takes the controller out of Seth's hands) come on, one game Seth

Seth: my controller

Summer: (sighs) Ryan will you come get drinks with me please (stands)

Ryan: yes (stands)

(Ryan and Summer head to the kitchen together)

Sadie: kay you ready

Seth: that's my lucky controller

(Sadie smiles and sits back on the couch. then we are with Ryan and Summer in the kitchen)

Summer: so, Atwood, seems like your really moving on

Ryan: uhh yeah trying to

Summer: (takes cans from the fridge) well I promise, no weirdness from me, I mean Coops my best friend but I've also (frowns) accepted the fact that...you an Marissa (screws up face)

Ryan: not really meant to be

Summer: which is why it's good that you've found the opposite of Marissa

Ryan: you really think Sadie is Marissa's opposite

(Ryan and Summer come back into the family room)

Sadie: (pushes a few buttons, grins) and game - over

(Sadie sits back on the couch and smiles/laughs. Seth just looks stunned at being beaten)

Ryan: whoa dude you got k*lled already

Seth: I'm humbled (looks at Ryan) man I am humbled an mortified (Summer laughs)

Sadie: its ok I can't take all the credit (puts controller down) I found a cheat code on the internet

(Ryan raises his eyebrows and looks over at Summer, Summer looks at him at the exact same time)

Seth: Ryan this ones a keeper man

Summer: (whispers to Ryan, motions with head) anti Coop

Seth: who knew my new Playstation idol would be your new girlf (quickly stops himself) your new

(Ryan raises his eyebrows at Seth. Summer looks at Sadie and Seth uncomfortably)

Seth: alright like a

Sadie: (looks down) friend

Seth: friend, girl, friend (shrugs)

Summer: nice save

Ryan: yeah I'm I'm

Sadie: (frowns) I think friend is the word

(we hear the doorbell)

Ryan: (points) I'm gonna get that

Sadie: nice dodge (smiles)

Ryan: thanks

Seth: friend was the word I was lookin for

(we see Ryan heading towards the door. when he opens it a blast from the past is standing there, only she is a little less sex kitten and a little more girl next door looking. its Jess Sathers aka Treys old girlfriend, if you could call her that,lol)

Jess: Ryan (smiles)

Ryan: (shocked)...Jess

Jess: oh good, you recognise me

Ryan: even with the new look

Jess: (looks down at herself) yeah, kinda came with the new life (Ryan avoids eye contact with her) listen I bought you something (takes it out) it's a belated birthday present, from your brother

(we see a small wrapped present in Jess' hand. Ryan looks from it to her)

Ryan: you still keep in touch with him

Jess: yeah (looks down) I lived with him out in Vegas for a while...jus got back a few months ago (Ryan nods) (holds out present) here

Ryan: (takes present) thanks (goes to close door)

Jess: (puts hand on door) don't you wanna know how he's doing

(Sadie comes over)

Sadie: hey

(Ryan smiles when he sees Sadie, it seems like he's relieved)

Jess: Ryan, if you wanna talk, you know where I live

(Jess leaves. Sadie looks at Ryan. Ryan looks a little thrown by everything)

Sadie: who was that

Ryan: nobody (shuts door) uhh (frowns) lets jus go back inside, ok

Sadie: (heads back to the family room) come on your up next

(Ryan looks down at the present in his hand, he turns it a few times then we see a close up of his face)

Theme song - California by Phantom Planet

Pool house, next morning - Ryan is sitting on the bed with the present from Trey in his hands, he takes the rubber band off and then the wrapping and he sees a toy car, you know like the matchbox ones. he turns it over and looks at the bottom then closes his eyes and looks up then back down at the car and then suddenly over towards the door just as Seth comes in

Seth: hey

Ryan: hey

(Seth nods at the toy car and takes it from Ryan)

Seth: now I know Treys not made'a money or anything but (sits in the chair) he could've at least sprung for a shirt or somethin

Ryan: it's an inside thing, long story

Seth: I like long storys (looks at Ryan)

Ryan: (raises eyebrows) too bad (stands) I don't feel like telling this one

(Kirsten comes to the doorway)

Kirsten: uh breakfast is ready in the kitchen (notices the car) oooh I haven't seen one of those in years (Seth looks at the car then hands it to her) d'you remember when your dad an I use'ta buy these for you, couldn't for the life of us get you to play with them, where'd you find this anyway

Ryan: Trey (Kirsten looks at him) a friend of his dropped it off

Seth: you remember Jess (Kirsten looks at him) charming girl who took too much X an floated face down in a pool

Ryan: yeah she moved to Vegas with Trey an they lived together

Kirsten: well how is he, is he ok

Ryan: (shakes head, looks away) I don't know, figured he's outta my life...why get back into it

Kirsten: (smiles, looks down uncomfortably) well, breakfast is ready

(Kirsten hands the car back to Seth and leaves. Seth puts it down on the side and then we see a close up of Ryan who is looking a little lost right now, poor guy)

CUT TO: Julie's trailer - Marissa is spread out on the couch reading, she hears a noise outside and goes to the door. we see Volchok trying to leave something just as Marissa opens the door. Volchok stops and looks at her, almost guiltily

Marissa: what're you doing

Volchok: thought you'd be at school

Marissa: (leans on the doorframe) so you were jus gonna lurk around my house while I wasn't home

Volchok: came to drop somethin off (holds out brown paper bag)

(Marissa looks at Volchok skeptically as she takes the bag from him and then looks inside. Volchok looks at her. Marissa pulls out the watch that she gave him in 307 in exchange for leaving Ryan alone)

Marissa: (looks at Volchok) I thought you were gonna sell this (Volchok looks at her) this watch was really expensive

Volchok: no I uh (raises eyebrows) I decided to hang onto it

Marissa: an now your giving it back (Volchok almost smiles) well there's a suprise twist, thanks (Volchok looks at her) anything else (Volchok starts to smile)...look I jus wanna be alone right now

Volchok: yeah yeah (nods) no yeah you look busy (smiles) listen I'm gonna be at the beach (shrugs) tonight, maybe ill see you

Marissa: don't count on it

(Marissa leans out and closes the door. she looks at the watch again)

CUT TO: Harbor school - Summer is pacing near lockers, she looks nervous about something. next to the lockers further down a door opens and Seth comes out. Summer looks over

Seth: uh no you're the man sir, ok ill see ya soon

(Summer goes over to Seth)

Summer: (unsure) so (looks at Seth hopeful)

Seth: turns out the guy is a (looks up) huge anime fan an we got inta the whole Akira verse (Summer frowns, nods) Ghost in the Shell debate, both came down on Ghost in the Shell (nods)

Summer: I have no idea what your saying but I'm so (hugs Seth) happy for you (closes eyes)

Seth: oooo, I'm gonna go call my parents, tell em to start packin my bags

(Seth starts to walk away)

Summer: (calls excitedly) congratulations baby

(Taylor sees it as she comes into the hall. she goes over to Summer)

Taylor: ooooh, holy Kodak moment

Summer: oh, well I guess Seth's just aced his Brown interview

Taylor: that's fantastic, we're so gonna party tonight, ill make a flan

Summer: oh well you know what Taylor actually (looks at Taylor) Seth an I were thinkin about hanging out alone, my dads out of town we have the house to ourselves

Taylor: aaaah say no more (winks at and nudges Summer) hm

Summer: (looks at Taylor) what

Taylor: (winks) hm

Summer: Taylor (grabs Taylor's arm, frowns) what's wrong with your eye

Taylor: it's a knowing wink Summer, you an Seth, the house all to yourselves (pokes Summer playfully) who knows what could happen

Summer: me, there'll be left over Thai an the Blade trilogy

Taylor: (screws up face) oh (gasps, concerned) oh, oh I didn't realise that you an Seth had (looks around, softly) lost the magic (Summer looks at her) I'm suprised you didn't come to me sooner you must be panicking

Summer: (defensively, hand on hip) um ok I didn't come ta you, an (raises eyebrows) why would I panic

Taylor: well it looks you two are going to college together, don't you worry that Seth's eye will wander (Summer squints) all the nubile young co-eds, you (points) the familiar old shoe

Summer: um ill have you know Taylor that I am like five levels hotter than him (raises eyebrows)

Taylor: Summer, the libido does not listen to logic, at this age men are driven by a reptilian force (looks at Summer wide eyed, almost creepily, softly) spread the seed (opens hand at Summer) spread the seed (again) spread the s- (again)

(Summer looks at Taylor, clearly creeped out. she grabs her hand)

Summer: Taylor, if Seth an I go ta college together we will be just fine an ill have you know we have a very healthy sex life (leaves)

Taylor: w- then super (calls) you have fun tonight, but Summer if you ever need to girl talk you know-

Summer: bye Taylor

(Taylor waves and we hear the bell ring)

CUT TO: Cohen backyard - Ryan is sitting beside the pool staring down at the toy car. Sadie walks into the open pool house then heads out to Ryan

Ryan: hey

Sadie: glad your home

Ryan: yeah I jus walked in, I didn't know you were stoppin by (moves school bag off the other chair)

Sadie: (sits) I needed a break from the dry walling (Ryan looks at her) (smiles) your still inta toy cars

(Ryan quickly puts the car in his pocket, sighs and smiles)

Sadie: I think I'm gonna choose ta find that cute instead'a creepy

Ryan: it's just something...someone gave me

Sadie: this wouldn't by any chance have anything to do with that Hooters waitress that showed up at your doorstep yesterday

Ryan: eh Jess is just a friend'a my brothers (Sadie looks at him) id tell ya the whole story but

Sadie: but you'd just rather not (frowns) (Ryan looks at her) that's cool (nods) but just know that if you do decide to tell me I will listen, an without judgment (Ryan looks away) or you can keep it all to yourself, both are fine with me

(Ryan looks at Sadie, forces a smile then it goes. Sadie looks down, Ryan looks down then back at Sadie)

Sadie: ok, I'm gonna get going

(Sadie grabs her bag and leaves. Ryan keeps looking down)

CUT TO: The Newport Group - Sandy is writing at his desk and we hear a knock at the door. Sandy looks up and we see a man standing in the doorway

Sandy: Dr. Henry Griffin, what a suprise (stands)

Henry: I hope you don't mind

Sandy: please, we're buildin a hospital together, when alls said an done (shakes Henry's hand) we'll be like family (Henry laughs) hang on a sec let me get Matt in here

Henry: um, id rather that you didn't

(Sandy looks at Henry and motions for him to take a seat)

Henry: the board called an impromptu meeting yesterday it seems there's been some complaints about your associate (looks at Sandy)

Sandy: complaints

Henry: rumours, partys at his house, booze, gambling (shrugs) god knows what else, boards not sure they wanna do business with him

Sandy: (thinks, frowns) well ill talk to him, make sure he cleans up his act

Henry: this is not about a slap on the wrist Sandy we want him off the project

Sandy: Matt worked his ass off on this deal I (shakes head)...I couldn't take him off it

Henry: (stands) then I'm afraid we can't go forward with the hospital

Sandy: (stands) you gotta be kidding me

Henry: take a few days, mull it over (Sandy listens) remember Sandy this hospital could change everything for you, d'you really wanna give it all up for one twenty six year old hot sh*t

(we see a close up of Sandy thinking)

CUT TO: Cohen kitchen, night - Ryan is in there making himself a sandwich, Seth comes in

Seth: hey man

Ryan: hey

Seth: what's goin on tonight big plans with Sadie (takes meat)

Ryan: uhhh (sighs) maybe, I don't know I (looks at Seth) haven't really decided yet

Seth: yeah, what's plan b (sits at the end of the counter) Jess

Ryan: I don't know I jus need'a know if Treys ok (looks at Seth)

Seth: well nothing you hear is gonna make it easier (looks at Ryan) that he's not apart'a your life (Ryan looks away) listen as we speak your new uh sometimes...kinda girlfriend is probably sitting by, cradling a hunk of plaster waiting for you to make a move (Ryan looks at him) so you can either dwell on the past an go see Jess or live for the now an give Sadie a call

(Ryan looks down thinking)

CUT TO: The lifeguard tower - we see Marissa in her usual spot, sadly staring out at the ocean. Marissa looks at the watch that Volchok gave her back, she's wearing it on her wrist. she looks down at it then grabs her cell phone, she opens it and we hear a beep and then we see a flashback. its of when Volchok went to Marissa at the lifeguard tower in the end of 317

Volchok: so you called

the flash back ends and Marissa looks down at the end of the ramp, no one is standing there for her this time, aww. she looks harder as if maybe she has seen something but then she closes her eyes and smiles before standing up and running down the ramp

CUT TO: Matt's apartment - we hear a knock at the door and see Matt inside, he goes to open the door. Marissa is standing there

Matt: Marissa

Marissa: hi

Matt: hey (Marissa looks at him, almost unsure) come on in

Marissa: thanks

(Matt shuts the door)

Matt: just in the neighbourhood

Marissa: yeah, kinda just driving by

Matt: oh

Marissa: (closes eyes) ok, no I wasn't (Matt looks at her) the truth is Summers with Seth an I'm all alone (frowns) an I'm kinda going outta my mind

Matt: well you know tomorrow I'm gonna go up to LA but if you want feel free to make this your crash pad for the weekend

Marissa: (relieved) that'd be great

Matt: alright (motions) make yourself at home

CUT TO: Roberts' house - Summer and Seth are on the couch watching Blade together, Seth sighs and gets up to put the next disk in

Seth: alright (looks at Summer) two down one to go

Summer: you really wanna watch the entire (closes eyes) Blade trilogy

Seth: cant leave the last disk unwatched it'll feel bad

Summer: well I thought tonight was about celebrating (shrugs) your interview

Seth: it is, hence the trilogy (sits next to Summer)

Summer: you know (Seth sighs and puts his feet up) (moves closer to Seth) we could forget the movie, go upstairs

(Summer starts kissing/nuzzling Seth's neck. Seth frowns, not realising what Summer is trying to do)

Summer: (sniffs) mmmm, you smell so good

Seth: you like the smell of salami

Summer: (looks at Seth) Cohen

Seth: what I had a salami sub I feel like its lingering

Summer: oh you know what just forget it

Seth: forget what

Summer: (shrugs) I was trying ta create a mood

Seth: I know, I know that now I was jus thrown off a little bit by your approach (smiles)

Summer: nuzzling your ear an complimenting you I wasn't exactly reinventing the wheel

Seth: well normally you jus throw me down an do your thing (Summer looks at him, frowning) (tries to grab Summers waist) but I can adjust

Summer: (pushes Seth away) not interested

Seth: Summer

(Seth closes his eyes and leans forward, subtly sniffing Summer, he also makes a weird expression. Summer looks at him, frowning)

Seth: mmmmm (raises eyebrows) you smell good too

Summer: (scoffs, unimpressed) press play before I break your face (looks at the TV)

Seth: fine

(Seth grabs the remote and presses a button)

CUT TO: Ryan in the car - he has his cell phone up to his ear and we hear this message

msg:

Sadie: hey its Sadie, leave a message

Ryan: (stops the car) hey, so I know your painting but its Friday night, I'm makin you take a break (takes off seatbelt) ill be there in twenty minutes ok, bye

(Ryan hangs up and gets out of the car. we can see that is parked out the front of Jess' mansion. we see him heading towards the door then the sh*t changes and we see Jess inside heading towards the front door, which Ryan is now standing at. Ryan forces a smile, Jess opens the door, happy to see him)

Jess: hey Ryan (smiles) I was just about to take a swim, come on in

(Ryan looks at Jess, sighs and then goes inside)

Ryan: look I can't stay long

Jess: but you couldn't resist getting the lowdown on your brother (shuts door) guy has a way of sucking you in (Ryan blinks) I know, drink (starts to walk away)

Ryan: just tell me, is he ok

Jess: (stops and looks at Ryan) well he misses you (Ryan looks at her) Treys not the type to cry into his pillow every night but, I can tell

Ryan: (skeptical) you know him that well huh

Jess: lets jus say he's of a certain mold, (raises eyebrows, shrugs) angry, damaged, reckless, it's the kinda guy I go for (Ryan looks away) my boyfriend now, Jim, same deal...we all have our types don't we (Ryan looks off to the side) tell you what why don't you stay a while (starts to walk away)

Ryan: look Jess we were never friends

(Ryan closes his eyes then heads towards the door)

Jess: d'you know Treys dealing (Ryan stops and looks at her) (moves closer) blackjack, off the strip

Ryan: so he's stayin outta trouble

Jess: (shrugs) trying to (Ryan looks down) don't move (points) I'm gonna get some clothes (starts up the stairs)

Ryan: Jess

Jess: (stops, looks at Ryan) jus stay a little while (Ryan isn't sure) I have alot more to tell you about Trey

(Jess keeps walking up the stairs, as she does she takes her pink robe off revealing a 2 piece bikini. we see a close up of her back side, then we see her from the front, looking sure of herself. then we see a close up of Ryan watching Jess, then he looks away)

CUT TO: Pool house, next morning - Ryan is punching his punching bag, the first few punches are slow, he jabs twice with his left hand then once with his right, the next hit is a little harder and we can now see he is sweating. he jabs again with his left then he does a hard punch with his right hand, we then see a flash back of Trey being wheeled on the stretcher, the night Marissa sh*t him. Ryan hits his head against the punching bag then jabs softly with his left hand, he does another semi hard hit with his right hand and we see another flashback. this one is of when Trey stole the Camaro and Ryan is with him, they crash it because of the police chasing them. Ryan punches harder again with his right hand, then harder still with his left, we see another hard punch with his left hand and another flashback. this time its of when Trey made a scene at the store in 217 because the manager wanted him to open his bags and Trey was offended by it, this then changes to when Ryan punched Trey at his apartment the night of the sh**ting in 224. we see Ryan punch the bag again, three times with his left then once with his right and then another flashback. first it's Ryan and Trey crashing down on top of Treys coffee table, again from 224 then it's the precise moment the b*llet enters Treys chest and fly's out of his back. Ryan punches again with his left hand then we see a close up of Treys bloody, shocked face, its the bit before he turns to look at Marissa. this changes to Ryan sitting beside Treys hospital bed and Seth is leaning on the wall, its from 301. Ryan punches left right left right hard and fast then we see another flashback. the police car is next to the Camaro, then this changes to Trey pointing the g*n at Ryan, then its of Trey and Ryan hugging when he first got out of prison in 217 and then we see Ryan punch again, he is looking really upset now. another flashback, it's of Trey sitting on the bus with his eyes closed from the end of 301, we see the bus pull away and Ryan standing there watching it go. Ryan punches 3 more times, hard, it goes right left right then he notices Kirsten watching him in the doorway. Ryan is literally dripping with sweat now he takes a few deep breaths

Ryan: music too loud

Kirsten: (yells) no it's just the grunting an (Ryan turns the music off so she talks normally) excessive (smiles) banging that I'm concerned about

Ryan: (smiles) sorry (grabs towel)

Kirsten: you ok

Ryan: (sighs) yeah, yeah (sits)

Kirsten: (walks in) girl problems

Ryan: (thinks)safe bet usually but no actually this is more complicated (looks down)

Kirsten: is it that girl Jess again

Ryan: yeah (looks at Kirsten) an my brother, jus tryin'a prevent another casualty of Trey

Kirsten: so you're trying to save this girl

Ryan: is that something I do (smiles)

Kirsten: (moves closer) look we love Marissa an she's family (shrugs) and she means alot to us but she's been through so much an you got pulled inta that

Ryan: yeah well some'a that was my fault (Kirsten looks at him) but your right, your right I cant argue with it

Kirsten: you should never argue with a woman who's here to discuss women (Ryan looks at her) have we mentioned that we love Sadie (smiles) she's smart an she's grounded

Ryan: (shakes head) an I am trying, trying (smiles) not to screw it up

Kirsten: jus because a girl isn't tied to some train tracks (raises eyebrows) doesn't mean that she should be ignored

Ryan: I know I know its jus Jess is tryin'a put Trey behind her, start a new life

Kirsten: great, as long as she doesn't get in the way of yours

(Ryan nods)

CUT TO: Matt's apartment - we see Marissa in the kitchen making herself a coffee in PJs and hear a knock at the door, she goes to open it. Sandy is standing there and he's beyond suprised to see Marissa and not Matt

Sandy: Marissa

Marissa: ...Sandy (Sandy looks at her confused) look I know its weird I slept here, but I jus didn't feel like being in the trailer by myself

Sandy: if you need somewhere to go you can always come to our house

Marissa: (closes eyes) I-I know you guys are like family...it's just that these days

Sandy: (nods) things are difficult with you an Ryan I get that, but you don't belong here

Marissa: ok um I was jus leaving anyway, if you're looking for Matt he went to LA for a meeting

Sandy: well, ill track him down, an you go home

Marissa: ok

Sandy: alright

(Marissa shuts the door, Sandy sighs and looks worried)

CUT TO: The diner - Summer goes over to a waitress

Summer: excuse me (waitress looks up) yeah hi um I'm picking up an order for Roberts

Waitress: sure, just a second

Summer: thanks

(while Summer is waiting for her order Taylor comes up behind her and covers Summers eyes with her hands. Summer gasps)

Taylor: guess who

Summer: oh god

(Taylor uncovers Summers eyes, Summer turns around and sees that it's Taylor!)

Taylor: (excitedly squeals) hi (laughs)

Summer: oh

Taylor: looks like someone got the short straw

Summer: (confused) what, no I ordered pancakes

Taylor: no, you-you you drew the short straw (Summer looks at her, clueless) you know after the sex when everyone's hungry but nobody wants to get the take out short straw picks up the food

Summer: (plays along) yes, that is exactly what your seeing happening here (Taylor puts her hands together excitedly) total short straw scenario, with the hunger an all the sex we had last night (softly) yes

Taylor: so was last night like totally kinky or was it like more about tender love making you know smooth jazz a burning fire (closes her eyes, getting into it) a zebra skin rug

Summer: we had a very nice time (nods)

Taylor: oh my god you didn't have (softly) sex at all did you

Summer: (yells, avoiding Taylor) are my pancakes ready yet!

Taylor: (looks) your lips aren't chapped there's no love bites on your neck (Summer touches her neck self consciously) your voice isn't all hoarse from screaming (Summer frowns)

Waitress: pancakes right

Summer: (takes bag) thankyou, goodbye Taylor (starts to leave)

Taylor: Summer (calls) Summer wait I can help you

CUT TO: Johnny's house - Sadie is inside painting and Ryan comes in through the backdoor

Ryan: hey

Sandy: so nothing happened, still, Matt should know better

Kirsten: mm but he doesn't, you have to remember that he's not that much older than the boys, he just needs some advice from the great Sandy Cohen (puts her arms around Sandy's neck)

Sandy: oooh sometimes you over estimate (giggles) meooo

(Kirsten wraps her arms around Sandy's neck)

Kirsten: not possible

(Seth and Ryan come in from outside)

Seth: (screws up face) oh, get a room (sits at the counter)

Sandy: hey count your blessings, kids with affectionate parents grow up to be better adjusted sexually as adults

Seth: I know I meant get a room, my room an do it in front of me

(Ryan laughs, Kirsten and Sandy smile. we hear Ryan's cell phone ring, he looks at who is calling)

Seth: (looks at Ryan) is it Sadie

Ryan: (sighs, answers) Jess...whoa whoa sl-sl-sl slow down slow down I cant...what'do you mean (Kirsten looks at him) no no no no no stay put stay put ill be right there (hangs up)

CUT TO: The Bait Shop - Marissa and Summer are there together

Marissa: thanks for coming out

Summer: yeah I needed to talk about Seth anyway

Marissa: so have you talked to him today

Summer: no I think we're just too embarrassed to face each other, either that or he's treading water till he gets ta Brown an finds a big pair'a pale New England boobs to replace me

Marissa: aww babe you just had an off night (nods, reassuringly) it'll be ok

Summer: this ever happen with you an Ryan

Marissa: actually no (raises eyebrows) I mean we had our problems that just wasn't one of em

Summer: what about towards the end when you guys started drifting apart

Marissa: kinda the opposite, I guess (notices Volchok watching her from the bar) the more emotionally unavailable you are the...more you end up wanting each other

(Volchok looks at Marissa, Marissa looks at him then drinks and looks back at him. Summer notices)

Summer: (frowns) what're you looking at

(Summer looks in the same direction but Volchok looks away and the crowd blocks her view)

Marissa: nothing hey you think maybe we should get outta here (shrugs)

Summer: sold

(Summer puts her drink down and they leave)

CUT TO: Jess' mansion - Ryan is at the front door and Jess opens it. Ryan walks in and Jess looks around a little before she closes the door. it seems like she's worried about someone being around

Jess: (worried) did you see him

Ryan: not yet, how many times has he come around (frowns)

Jess: started a couple hours ago, he's been calling too

Ryan: an when'd you end it

Jess: earlier today, I guess I was inspired by our talk last night (Ryan listens) so I called him up, told him I didn't wanna see him anymore an (raises eyebrows) now here I am, down a boyfriend up a stalker

(Ryan nods and notices a car pull up outside)

Ryan: is that him in the Mustang

Jess: (looks) yep, he's coming in

Ryan: yeah, just (points) go in the back

(Jess starts to leave and we hear a car door shut. the ex walks towards the front door and Ryan opens it just before he can)

Ryan: look man she doesn't wanna see you

Jim: (looks at Ryan) who the hell are you her bodyguard

Ryan: no but ill kick your ass if you take one step further (blinks, means it)

(the next thing we see is Jess sitting with her knees to her chest in another room, she looks scared. Ryan comes in)

Jess: (looks up) he's gone

Ryan: yeah, I don't think he'll be back (Jess looks down) are you gonna be ok

Jess: (nods) ill be fine (forces a smile, rubs arms) I promise

Ryan: (unconvinced) you sure

Jess: (looks at Ryan, shakes head) Ryan, I know you don't believe me but (nods) I really am trying to change, you don't have'ta stay

(Ryan nods and heads towards the front door, before he gets there he notices a photo of Trey sticking out of Jess' purse. Ryan looks back in the direction of where Jess is and then we see Jess with a blanket over her, still on the couch. Ryan pulls out the photo of Trey and looks at it, he frowns and looks to the side then back down at the photo, then puts the photo back. the next thing we see is Ryan walking back into the room that Jess is in)

CUT TO: Jess' backyard, next morning - Ryan comes outside and Jess is already out there

Ryan: morning

Jess: hey, scrambled or fried, I made both

Ryan: neither, I should get going (sighs) but coffee'd be nice (sits, drinks coffee)

Jess: Ryan, don't look all awkward, like it's the morning after its not like anything happened last night (Ryan looks at her) stay

(Jess sits back on the chair and Ryan looks at her)

Jess: (nods) he wants me ta come back

Ryan: well what happened to tryin'a change your life

Jess: I am trying (smiles) its jus that it's Trey (Ryan looks away) its hard (shrugs) especially all by myself

Ryan: well what about your parents where are they

Jess: well my dads in Tokyo on business an my moms at the spa aka in bed with her tennis instructor, so as you can see I don't have much to distract me, unless you wanna give it a try

(Ryan looks away, Jess smiles at him)

Ryan: look I can't stay here an babysit you what about your girlfriends at USC

Jess: (sits forward) I guess I could give them a call, see if they wanna come down

Ryan: call em, invite em down, jus take a breath (stands)

Jess: Ryan ill try but (shrugs, worried) what if I freak out

Ryan: you won't (smiles)

(Jess sighs and leans back)

CUT TO: Cohen kitchen - Sandy is on the phone and Seth is reading the paper at the end of the counter

Sandy: Matt, call me back we got alot to discuss (hangs up)

Seth: everything ok (looks at Sandy)

Sandy: oooh its just business, hey, I heard you aced your Brown interview

Seth: mmm, mm

Sandy: looks like the stars are aligning for you, an Summer (Seth nods) could be another four years together

Seth: yeah, hey let me ask you a (looks at Sandy) question (Sandy looks at him) when you were at college with mom did it ever...get sorta stale with the monogamy an the constant being together

Sandy: (thinks) your mother was a firecracker (raises eyebrows)

(Sadie looks from Seth to Kirsten and Sandy)

Kirsten: we'll jus let you two (leaves)

Sandy: (follows Kirsten) you really are a terrible liar my dear

Kirsten: you could'a jumped in

Sadie: (picks up coffee) so let me guess, Ryan got some nine one one call from that Jess girl an it required him spending the night

Seth: that has not been confirmed (holds up finger)

Sadie: you don't have'ta protect him Seth (smiles) its fine honestly I'm not jealous, I'm jus not really sure that Ryan an I are right for each other

Seth: (looks at Sadie) because

Sadie: ...because he jus seems ta have alotta really intense issues

Seth: yeah well intense issues seem ta follow Ryan around

Sadie: well I don't really know if I'm up for that right now

Seth: well listen, I think Ryan really likes you an I think if you hang in there you two will eventually settle into a uh (shakes head) super laid back boring ass relationship (Sadie listens) but you gotta cut the guy some slack because he just got out of a two year drama fest with Marissa an the one time that he tried to date someone normal, she turned out to be my dead grandfathers illegitimate daughter so, you know how that goes

Sadie: (squints) right yeah of course, of course I know how that goes (Seth looks at her) d'you think you could do me a favour an not tell Ryan that we talked (Seth looks at her) I assume you know how to keep a secret

CUT TO: Roberts house - Summer is in her bedroom lying on her bed reading a magazine, we hear a knock at the door

Summer: (calls) nobody's home

(Taylor walks in)

Taylor: don't worry it's just me

Summer: (sits up) oh, hi

Taylor: so listen (sits on the bed) I hate to pop in like this but I am meeting with Ashley an Madison at school later today to brainstorm for a prom theme, d'you wanna come

Summer: (sarcastically, moves head side to side) ooooooh

CUT TO: The Newport Group - Sandy is standing and Matt is sitting on a couch, i think its Sandy's office

Matt: (worked up) I mean there was the party with Bill Merriam the-the few dates I went on with Maya (puts hand in the air) nothing that the board could oust me for

Sandy: what about Marissa

Matt: what about Marissa

Sandy: I went to your house yesterday to talk to you an she answered the door in pyjamas

Matt: she's goin through a tough time, she needed a friend

Sandy: well then be a friend, but for god sake Matt do not be throwin pyjama partys with seventeen year old girls

Matt: nothing happened

Sandy: that doesn't matter, an right now the board is watchin you waitin for you to screw up and your screwin up!

Matt: (looks away) this is a witch hunt, if they wanna take me down they will unless you stop em (Sandy looks at him) I mean so please, call Griffin, tell him your gonna keep me out of the project

(Sandy looks as though he's thinking and then turns away)

CUT TO: Harbor school - Summer walks into a room that Taylor is already in

Summer: eww, school on a Sunday is like beyond creepy

Taylor: Summer your right on time (claps hands, smiles)

Summer: where's um Ashley an Madison

(Taylor looks as though she's about to say something but before she can Seth comes into the same room from the far door)

Seth: (frowns) Summer (Taylor looks at him)

Summer: (confused) Cohen

(Taylor grins at Seth mischievously and he realises what she's up to)

Seth: (sighs) you know ya said the AV club was meeting I...brought History Of v*olence (holds up DVD)

Summer: (realises) this is a total ambush

Taylor: (touches Summers shoulders and moves her closer to Seth) look, you two are like my family (touches her chest dramatically) (Summer rolls her eyes) an if I sense theres trouble with my Sethummer (puts arm around Seth's shoulder so she's walking with both now) I am gonna do what I can to help

Seth: we're not in any trouble, (sits at the table) at least that we've acknowledged to each other

Taylor: (points to Seth) that is exactly why I brought you here today, communication (looks at Summer, Summer frowns then looks at Seth) intimacy (Seth frowns and looks from Summer to Taylor) these are two skills (points to both) that you two could improve upon (hits the table) now, I am not a licensed sex therapist but (holds up finger) my father was an before he ran away (Summer squints) he use'ta conduct these sessions with real couples in our basement

Seth: (looks up with a freaky smile) that's creepy

Taylor: (leans down to be closer) ok, we're going to start off with touching (Summer looks at Seth) I want you to place your hands (Seth looks at Summer) anywhere on each others bodies (Seth looks at Taylor) (points) excluding breasts an genitals

Seth: (looks at Taylor then down) I have'ta go (starts to stand)

Summer: Cohen (Seth stops half standing) put your hands on me, now

(Seth blinks and then sits back down)

Taylor: come on it'll be fun

(Seth leans towards Summer and Summer leans towards Seth. Seth just puts his hand randomly on Summers face, you can imagine how he does it,lol his first finger is right next to Summers eye and his thumb is under her chin and kind of scrunching up Summers cheek/mouth. Summer rolls her eyes)

Taylor: Summer

(Summer puts her hand near Seth's elbow on the arm that is touching her. Taylor is standing in front of them both so we can see Seth and Summer side on, and Taylor's head between them)

Taylor: good, ok now I want you to concentrate on your eye contact, get lost in each others gaze

(Seth and Summer look into each others eyes but unfortunately there is not much chemistry happening)

Seth: mmm getting lost, I'm getting lost

(Summer looks at Seth and moves her eyebrows a little, because of where Seth has his hand the side of her mouth is curled up a tad which adds to her expression of almost boredom)

Taylor: as you gaze into each others eyes, do you feel stirrings (hopeful) deep (raises eyebrows) in your loins

(Seth squints at Summer, Summer squints at him both trying to feel something. Seth opens his mouth wide, Summer looks at him hopeful)

Seth: (lets go of Summers face) no I don't really feel anything

Summer: yeah I got nothing

Taylor: not even the faintest spark (Seth looks at Summer) a tiny flicker

Summer: what'does it say about us

(Summer and Seth look at Taylor)

Taylor: (matter of factly) well (shakes head) I also do break up counselling

CUT TO: The diner - Sadie and Ryan are sitting in a booth together, opposite each other. the waitress is standing beside Sadie

Waitress: and for you

Kim: is this Ryan Atwood

Ryan: w-w- what's goin on in the background

Kim: well word got out about Jess' tonight an now half of USC is here (Ryan listens) an supposedly Jim is on his way over here an on a rampage

Ryan: ...alright well grab Jess an get out of there

Kim: I would but she's locked in the pool house, she's drunk an she's crying an she says the only person she'll talk to...is you

Ryan: w-w (sighs, looks at Sadie, closes his eyes, raises eyebrows) yeah, ok ill be right there (hangs up)

Sadie: (shakes head) no, I don't (Ryan looks at her) but I get that something's pulling you under an I get that you cant let it go, so whatever it is please jus go deal with it an find me when your done

(Sadie picks up her bag and leaves. Ryan watches her and then looks down at his phone)

CUT TO: The Bait Shop - Marissa is there by herself and seems to be looking around for somebody. she puts her hands in her jeans pockets and looks around just as Volchok appears out of the crowd behind her

Volchok: I'm right here

Marissa: (looks at Volchok) I wasn't looking for you

Volchok: but I'm here now

Marissa: whatever this game is you're playing, you can stop it

Volchok: you don't want me to go away (shakes head)

Marissa: (looks at Volchok) really what makes you say that

Volchok: you're lonely

Marissa: (looks away then at Volchok) right (raises eyebrows) well thanks for the analysis, I feel much better (goes to walk away)

Volchok: (steps in front of Marissa) no look, if you need a break from everything goin on in there (points to Marissa's head) I could help

Marissa: (closes her eyes, almost sadly) I think I'm doing just fine on my own (leaves)

(Volchok turns to watch Marissa leave)

CUT TO: Jess' mansion - we see random people dancing and having a good time then we see Ryan making his way through the crowd. Kim walks up to him

Kim: you must be Ryan

Ryan: yep

Kim: Jess' so glad your here, she's in there, still wont come out

(Ryan heads towards the pool house that is decorated in fairy lights. he tries the door handle and the door just shakes a little)

Ryan: (calls) Jess (knocks) Jess it's me open up

(Jess opens the door and pulls Ryan inside, she looks like hell)

Jess: you came (shuts door)

Ryan: yeah what is it, what're you so upset about huh

Jess: (pulls Ryan to her) I thought that I could have some friends over but- an then I started missing you

Ryan: well let's go outside there worried about you

Jess: no no no no no (stops Ryan leaving) I don't (Ryan sighs) I don't wanna be with my friends I wanna be in here with you

Ryan: yeah, well that's not a good idea

Jess: (looks at Ryan) are you kidding, this is the first good idea I've had, Jim an Trey none'a those other guys knew how to take care'a me...you know how to take care'a me Ryan

(Ryan nods and Jess puts her arms around his neck upset. Ryan sighs)

Ryan: it's alright (Jess cries on Ryan's shoulder) (sighs) its ok

(Jess starts kissing Ryan's neck and touching his hair)

Ryan: (closes eyes) Jess, Jess (tries to pull away) Jess

(Jim Jess' ex boyfriend comes in and sees her all over Ryan)

Jim: hey

(Ryan and Jess look at him standing in the doorway)

Jim: movin on already is that what this is

(Jim moves closer to Ryan/Jess, Ryan goes over to Jim)

Ryan: you wanna settle this with someone settle it with me

(Jim looks at Jess, Jess looks upset. Kim the friend from earlier goes over to comfort Jess)

Ryan: you wanna talk outside

Jim: (clenches teeth) yeah (leaves)

Ryan: lock the door

(Jess and Kim look at Ryan, Ryan leaves and slams the door shut behind him - back outside we see more random people drinking, dancing, having fun then we see Jim and Ryan facing each other beside the pool)

Jim: so what you're seein her now

Ryan: she's just a friend'a my brothers

Jim: not that guy Trey

Ryan: look (looks at Jim)

Jim: what your here to take your brothers left overs

(Jim punches Ryan in the face, hard. he swings again but Ryan ducks. Jim goes for Ryan again but Ryan manages to pin him on the ground, Ryan is sort of sitting on top of him and holding him down at the chest)

Ryan: now listen'a me, you gotta stay away from this girl she's tryin'a start over you gotta let her

Jim: (clenches teeth) none of your business what-

Ryan: (breathing heavy, realises) your right, which is why I'm leaving (stands)

(Ryan walks away then we see him out the front of Jess' heading towards the car. Jess comes out of the front door after him)

Jess: (calls) Ryan, Ryan are you ok

Ryan: yeah I'm fine, look (looks at Jess) Jess if your smart you'll stay away from him, an my brother

Jess: of course I will a- after the way you fought for me (puts arms around Ryan's neck)

Ryan: (pulls Jess' arms away) look you gotta stop dating guys like him (Jess looks down) an I gotta stop dating girls like you (nods) take care'a yourself

(Jess folds her arms and watches Ryan leave)

CUT TO: Seth's bedroom - Seth is sitting on the bed reading something and we hear a knock at the door. Seth looks over just as Taylor walks in

Taylor: helloooo (smiles)

Seth: Taylor I really don't want to talk to you about my sex problems with Summer

Taylor: ok ok (holds up hands)so the intimacy exercises were a miserable failure but I don't think you should lose hope

(Taylor rolls a chair over to Seth's bed and sits in front of him. Seth is now sitting on the edge of the bed so they are facing each other)

Seth: why d'you have some sort of secret cure

Taylor: (points) as a matter of fact I do (brings hands together) its called raunchy sex (Seth looks away) now now (holds up hands) you don't see me as a sexual being Seth I mean I get that (nods) but without revealing too much (Seth looks at her) if sex were a martial art (Seth screws up his face) (proudly) I would be a black belt

Seth: (thinks, shakes head) weirdly I'm not suprised

Taylor: now I would like ta talk to you about a little something callled (holds up book) the Kama Sutra

Seth: (shakes head in disbelief) how do you know all this

Taylor: lets just say Dean Hess hid a treasure trove of secrets underneath his pink shirts (smiles reminiscently) (Seth screws up his face tightly) (opens book) ok, position one

Seth: (closes eyes, looks away) ok I really don't wanna picture you doing that with the n*zi Dean

Taylor: (closes the book frustrated) Seth! (points) do you want your sparks back with Summer

Taylor: then listen an learn (holds book back up, Seth watches) ok this the yoni an this is the lingam (Seth screws up his face)

CUT TO: NB Yacht Club - Henry Griffin and Sandy are sitting at a table together

Sandy: look Matt may not of shown the best'a judgment but its nothing id fire him over

Henry: and the uh sacrificing one life to save the many argument

Sandy: I don't get it, the board loves you Henry, one phone call from you nobody has to sacrifice anyone

Henry: what makes you think I would do that

Sandy: business (looks at Henry) our plan is the best one you know that, makes me wonder about the board though that they'd scrap a lucrative project over something like this, it makes no sense from a business perspective but (looks at Henry) maybe its personal (Henry looks at him) this is about Maya, isn't it

Henry: she cried for days over him

Sandy: I'm sorry Henry (looks down, frowns) but you didn't have'ta lie to me

Henry: I'm just a father looking after his daughter

Sandy: (nods) reason an logic don't stand a chance, I understand that

Henry: all different kinds'a loyalty Sandy I chose mine, now you choose yours, what's it gonna be, hospital (raises eyebrow, looks at Sandy) or Matt

(Sandy looks at Henry then away)

Marissa: you ok Sum

Summer: yeah just Cohen called, he's coming over an he wants to talk, it doesn't bode well

Marissa: well maybe he's coming to patch things up (shrugs)

Summer: or maybe he's coming over to break up with me, anyway it means that I can't hang out tonight ok

Kirsten: Matt

Sandy: yeah

Kirsten: ill let you talk to him (motions) I'm gonna go lock up the house

(Kirsten leaves, Sandy sits down on the edge of the bed and looks at the ringing cell phone in his hand then puts it away without answering - at Matt's apartment we see him looking worried)

CUT TO: The pool house - Ryan is in there and it's pretty dark, there's only one corner lamp thing on. he has the toy car in his hand. Kirsten comes to the door and goes to shut it

Kirsten: oh hey (Ryan puts the car down) I- I didn't know you were here

Ryan: yeah

Kirsten: didn't you have a date with Sadie tonight

Summer: (shocked, raises eyebrows) what, Taylor like came over to your house an gave you one on one sex education

Seth: is that a no ta the wheelbarrow (shakes head, frowns)

Summer: ill wheelbarrow you!

(Summer goes to hit Seth with her hand but Seth puts his hand up and grabs her wrist, stopping her from hitting him. Summer looks at the hand Seth is holding and tries to hit him again with her other hand, again Seth puts his up to stop her. they both look at each other frowning/angry and then all of a sudden their expressions change and they start kissing each other urgently. there is some mmm'ing from both of them and they fall onto Summers bed in each others arms. aww. Seth is on top of Summer)

CUT TO: Johnny's house - Sadie is sitting on the floor against the couch working on her jewelry and Ryan comes in the door

Sadie: (looks over) hi (looks down)

(Ryan looks at Sadie then closes the door and walks over to her, as he does he pulls the toy car out of his pocket and then sets it down on the table. Sadie looks at the car)

Ryan: my brother an I use'ta play with these when we were little (Sadie looks up at him) especially when my mum was drinking we'd...(sighs) go in the back bedroom an play cars an...pretend we didn't hear anything (Sadie puts her jewelry stuff down and looks back up at Ryan listening) (sighs, sits next to Sadie) he always use'ta tell me that he'd save up an buy us a Camaro one day we'd blow our town an never come back...wasn't gonna happen so one day he tried to steal one (Sadie looks at him, he looks at her) I was there...somehow that landed me here (raises eyebrows) an him in Vegas (looks at Sadie then away, shrugs) we don- we don't talk anymore (looks at Sadie)

Sadie: (softly) an you didn't tell me because

Ryan: I-I (raises eyebrows) I guess I'm...not use to unloading on people

Sadie: ...too busy being loaded on I guess

Ryan: I don't know (raises eyebrows) but I wanted to start over with you

Sadie: you know I have many talents, one of them is listening, you jus gotta let me do it

Ryan: (nods) deal

Sadie: that's not to say we should just be talking (smiles)

(Ryan looks at Sadie then slowly leans forward. Sadie closes her eyes, Ryan puts his hand on her cheek gently and they kiss)

CUT TO: Summers bedroom - Summer and Seth are under the covers in Summers bed and they both look um worn out could be the word,lol

Summer: (breathing heavily) whoa

Seth: (breathing heavily) yeah whoa

Summer: (breathless) you know it's a good thing I put Princess Sparkle away for that

Seth: to think it was that amazing an we didn't even get to the wheelbarrow

(we now see them from above. they are both looking up at the ceiling with stunned expressions)

Summer: you know we should make a pact (swallows) if we go away to college together we should like fight like everyday (smiles)

Seth: I'm pretty sure I can make that happen

(Summer laughs and looks over at Seth. Seth looks at her and then they both pull the covers over their heads. we hear Summer giggling and then we see the covers moving about and finally their feet sticking out of the end intertwined together, aww. we also see the Kama Sutra book lying cover/back cover up at the end of the bed)

CUT TO: Johnny's house - we see Ryan lower Sadie onto the floor while they are still kissing this fades to a shirtless Ryan helping Sadie take her top off then we see shirtless Ryan lower Sadie back down onto the floor in just her bra and jeans. this fades to a close up of them kissing, then Ryan kisses Sadie's neck, then that changes to a close up of Sadie's bra/chest pressing against Ryan's bare chest. then we see Sadie with her hand on Ryan's back just above the waist of his jeans, she also has her leg wrapped around his and they are both still in jeans

CUT TO: Julie's trailer - we see Marissa walk up onto the verandah and Volchok is sitting at the table smoking, it seems like he was almost waiting for her. Marissa walks straight passed him and into the trailer and she purposely leaves the door open. Volchok puts his smoke out, blows smoke out of his mouth and then goes inside and closes the door behind him. the next thing we see is Marissa and Volchok in each others arms urgently kissing. Volchok has his hand on Marissa's waist and Marissa has hers on the side of Volchok's face/neck, that sh*t quickly changes to Marissa helping Volchok off with his shirt then that changes to a shirtless Volchok pushing Marissa against the wall of the trailer and they are still kissing. that changes to Marissa taking her top off, then we see Marissa in just her wife beater and Volchok pushes her up against the counter while he helps her take it off, so now she is just in her bra. she runs her hands through his hair and they are kissing pretty intensely. Volchok has his hands on Marissa's waist and she has hers on his shoulders. Volchok runs his hands up Marissa's back then we see him with his head between her breasts, she still has her bra on. then we see a close up of Volchok with his head just under Marissa's shoulder and she has her hand on his head touching his hair, then we see Marissa looking a little out of it while Volchok kisses her arm, then we see a close up of Volchok kissing her bare stomach. then we see he has his hand on her back directly below her bra strap, then we see a sh*t of Volchok looking up towards the ceiling and Marissa with her hands through her own hair, then we see Volchok kissing Marissa's neck while she has her head back and finally the last sh*t we see is Marissa with her arm around Volchok's neck and her mouth is wide open with her eyes closed
