Recap/Review: The Nine Lives of Chloe King: Pilot(1.01)

                          The Nine Lives of Chloe King Pilot (1.01 ) Review/recap

First off I know this episode aired like two weeks ago but I just couldn’t make myself type out this review/recap until now so sorry it’s late so I’ll start the recap.

In the first scene we see Chloe running through the woods with two people in black hoodies chasing after her. Through out the scene the camera is all shaky but not in a bad way like when someone doesn’t know how to hold a camera but in a way that reflects Chloe’s current emotional state and from this scene I’m guessing it’s frantic. Chloe then goes up these stairs which leads to a sidewalk and then across the street and into a building then she takes a brief moment to look back then continues to run up a staircase that has all these paintings on the wall once she’s past the area with the paintings she trips( I love that she trips it makes her seem normal) she then gets back up and runs to the top of the tower. Once she’s at the top of the tower she turns around in a circle to see if anyone has followed her and after finding no one she goes over to look out the windows(there not exactly windows since there’s no glass or screens in them it’s more like a well made opening) she then sees the two people who were following her meet up and then head in separate directions neither of them heading inside the tower. But Chloe doesn’t get time to relieved about this because when she turns around she gasps when she sees a black man with a scar on his face and he says “Goodbye Chloe.” then pushes her out the window and she free falls from the very tall tower and lands on the ground on her back and we see that there is blood under her head. Then the title comes up.

In the next scene we get some shots of San Francisco and then go to Chloe’s bedroom and there’s text that says two days earlier then we see Chloe in bed and her mom outside of her room knocks on her door and tells she has to get up or she’ll be late and she won’t be driving her to school today. Chloe then reluctantly wakes up and looks at her phone and smiles then rushes off to her bathroom to get ready.

In the kitchen Chloe’s mom continues to tell Chloe to hurry up then Chloe comes downstairs tells her mom to calm down and grabs a piece of toast and tries to head out the door but her mom stops her and Chloe replies “Sorry no time I have a super mean that won’t drive me to school.” Her mom then makes her sit down and Chloe tells her she got a B on her geometry test, the slutty girl got pregnant just like everyone thought she would and no remotely cute boy has looked Chloe’s way and asked her out, her mom is happy with this so she’s free to go. Then her mom tells Chloe to say hi to Amy and Paul for her. Chloe then ask how she knew she was going to meet up with them, her mom says this is one of the reasons she’s the one whose in charge. Chloe says “Text me.” Mom: “I love you too.” Chloe: “Implied.” then Chloe heads out the door.

Then a few more shots of San Francisco but it looks more rainy and cold this time. Then we see Chloe and her friends Amy and Paul sitting on a bench and a lawn chair on a pier where it has recently rained. Then Paul tells Chloe to hurry up blowing out the candle on her birthday muffin because his hand is on fire then Chloe closes her eyes and blows out the candle and Paul says “And now it’s covered in spit.” the girls laugh. Then Amy wishes Chloe a happy pre-birthday and mentions how she can’t believe tomorrow’s Chloe’s 16^th birthday. Then Paul asks what she wished for and Amy immediately smacks him telling him you’re not suppose to tell( which is totally true the rules with birthday wishes is they don’t come true if you tell but in this case it doesn’t really matter) but Chloe says it’s already and that she just wished things were different. Amy suggest “You wished you had more then two friends.” Chloe quickly reassures not about you guys but she does wish she’d be kissed once in her life, then she mentions how she wants to take risks and be notice and how she might be tried of being the good girl, at this point she had stood up and is now walk across the back of the bench with ease. Paul is amazed by how Chloe is walking on the back of the bench asks how she’s doing that, Chloe replies “I don’t know it’s easy.” then jumps down off of it. Chloe goes on how she wants to be someone other then herself then Amy tells Chloe the plans for birthday week which is the same as every year which Chloe isn’t exactly happy about since she wants things to be different. During all of that Paul was trying to walk across the back of the bench but had bad balance and ended up falling down and stating “That is so not easy.” Paul then gets up and asks if their something Chloe would like to do instead of the usual and Chloe gives this smile like she knows exactly what she’d rather do.

Then the next scene is at night outside of a nightclub there’s a long line and Chloe, Amy and Paul on the opposite side of a gate and Paul says “This is so much better.” and Amy says with a laugh “There’s no way their letting any of us in there.” then the see someone people come out of a side door one of them is a guy that pucks in a garbage can which Chloe makes a face that basically says “Ew” then she gives this I have any idea smile. Then the three of them sneak into the club through the side door.

Inside the club there’s lot of people and loud music. They walk in and are all very impressed with the club and Paul tries to hit on some ladies but Chloe says “Don’t do that try to be cooler.” Then the walk up to this bar area and Chloe and this cute dark haired guy smile at each other. Then Chloe pretty much mouths to Amy so hot and if it’s okay to talk to him, Amy says it is and to talk a deep breath which does before she turns around again. The guy then mentions Chloe looks a little young, she lies and says she’s over 18 but he says your suppose to be over 21 but he says he won’t tell and that he’s using his brother id and then the go off and do some flirty dancing.

As they walk out of the club, the guy says that Chloe is wild and Chloe says “No one’s ever said that about me before.” Guy: “ Find that hard to believe.” They are holding hands and smiling at each other. The guy invites Chloe to his brother’s place but Chloe says “I’m not that wild yet.” and that she really needs to go, and she surprised that Amy and Paul ditched her. Then the guy asks for her number and then he gives her his number and she takes his picture and his name is revealed to be Xavier. Then Chloe heads off then turns around and kiss Xavier and he offers her a ride since it’s pretty cold out she replies “I kind of like it, it makes me feel alive.” Then she goes off feeling both surprised and happy that she kissed him and heads home. Then it’s revealed that the guy that will soon kill her is lurking around behind her.

The next scene is at school the next day and we see Chloe catch up with Amy. Chloe first tell her she can’t believe she ditched her but she’s totally forgiven because she had the best night of her life because her Xavier danced all night and she kissed him and Amy is very happy for her. Then we see this gorgeous blond guy coming down the hall with a basketball and Amy mentions she thinks he’s hot and Chloe says he’s not her type and continues to tell Amy how she’s surprised she just went up and kissed a guy. The blond guy starts throwing his ball against the wall behind her head then Chloe catches it and tells him to knock it off then she throws the ball and it lands it a trash can a couple of feet away and Chloe and most other people are taken by surprise. Then Chloe and Amy leave but Amy takes one more look at blond guy before Chloe drags her down the hallway. The blond guy looks watches them leave then squints his eye in the way that says I know your hiding something.

The next scene is still at school but later on in the day. Chloe is stopped in the hall by blond guy who has a lovely accent but I’m not sure were it’s from but I love the sound of it. Blond guy ask Chloe to show him some of her moves sometime but Chloe insist it was just a lucky shot and this point blond guy has cornered Chloe against a wall. Then blond guy says “I wasn’t talking about basketball.” Chloe says “Subtle.” he replies “I wasn’t trying to be.” then he puts one hand down by her crotch and then leans in and smells her(he must have really meant when said he wasn’t trying to be subtle.) during this exchange Chloe mentions he hasn’t talk to her in like two years and she seems uncomfortable but I don’t blame her he’s being pretty creepy. He ask why she’s giving him a hard time and she says she wouldn’t have touched his ball if she knew it would have this effect on him then she realizes that sentence pretty much invited a lot of creepy comments so she says don’t say it. Then he tells her their going to be very good friends and leans into to kiss her but a pretty dark haired girl says “Alec” which is blond guys name so he doesn’t kiss Chloe. Chloe feels more awkward and then says “Well it was nice chatting let’s try to never do this again.” and then leaves as the bell rings. Alec and the girl exchange a look the girl leaves and the scene changes.

Then the scene is inside of the store which Chloe works at. Chloe looks through some new clothes and puts a shirt on hold and says she loves a song playing on the other girls ipod but the other girl is surprised she can hear the music. Then this guy comes into the store Chloe helps him pick out a hat and flirts with him a little bit and then tells him her work hours in case he wants to see her again and he said he might come back.
After work Chloe was walking down the street not paying attention to were she’s going then a guy on a bike nearly runs into her but he doesn’t hit her because she jumped up on a hood of a car, the biker asks how she got up their but she doesn’t really know but decides it’s kind of cool. Then she goes around running, jumping, doing flips and climbing and eventually jumps across roof tops and she’s smiling the whole time.
Then we go to the birthday dinner were Chloe is telling Amy about her new found jumping abilities as well as enhanced hearing abilities. Then Amy tells her how she and Paul kissed and they are now couple which surprises Chloe since Amy never mentioned having a thing for Paul but Amy says she didn’t know until last night. Then they talk a little more about then the dark hair girl from earlier comes in Chloe says it’s Alec’s girlfriend but Amy tells her it’s actually his cousin Jasmine. Then Chloe tells her about the thing with Alec earlier and with the guy at the store.

Then we cut to Chloe’s house were her mom is on the phone with Chloe and mentions that Chloe was suppose to be home an hour ago and back at the restraunt Chloe says their just and she’ll be home in seconds. Amy makes Chloe come up with a plan with the guys she’s flirted with in the episode she tells her to call club guy and to try something store guy who’s name is Brain and Chloe seems the most into him. Then Amy jokily says “Now Chloe try not wrestle too many bad guys on your way home.” and Chloe jokily replies “I’ll try.” then she rushes home and it’s revealed that the guy who’s going to kill her was there.
On the way home on the street Chloe’s harassed by a homeless guy and when she defends herself she slashes him and then notices that her nails have grown and became claw like. Both Chloe and the homeless guy are freaked out by this and then she runs home after her nails are normal again and she makes them long then normal again.

Then we go to Chloe’s house were Chloe walks in the door her mom is pouring herself a glass of wine. Her mom was about to go into a lecture about being home on time but Chloe comes in and hugs her which surprises her and she asks if she’s okay, Chloe says she’s fine but her mom’s not quite convinced but then Chloe says sorry for being late her mom says it’s okay since it’s her birthday. Then Chloe blows out the candle on her cake and then they have some cake and it’s mentioned that her dad left over ten years ago. Then they talk about what Chloe did the night before and about the guy at the store. Then Chloe asks about her birth parents and her mom says she doesn’t know anything about them.( but we do learn their from the Ukrain) and then Chloe leaves and says “I love you mom” her mom replies “Implied.” then Chloe goes up to bed.

The next day at the store Amy and Chloe are talking and Chloe still looking at her nails because of the claw thing yesterday. Then Amy calls Xavier and makes Chloe leave a message and Chloe’s not happy about it. It then shows that Xavier is dead from unknown causes(he was my favorite out of the guys so I’m really sad he died and also I don’t find Brian attractive it’s not that I think he’s ugly just not attractive).

The next scene they are closing the store and Brain stops by and then him and Chloe are off to go get coffee. Then Chloe and Brain talk about their parents and their relationship and a dog barks at Chloe a lot then Chloe leaves and Brain ask if they can do it again sometime and she says yes then runs off.

Then Chloe walks into this park and she sees the man who will kill her and then she starts looking around a lot and she sees the people in black hoodies and it’s back to the scene at the beginning. Then that scene continues with the guy with the scar running from the scene of the crime unnoticed and people gathering around Chloe then we see Chloe open her eyes. Then the next time we see the spot were Chloe fell we see just a blood spot. Then we see that Chloe is running through the park again and one of the people in black hoodies holds her down and when Chloe is about to claw the one the other person in the black hoodie whose revealed to be Alec tells her to stop and their here to help her and the other person in the black hoodie is Jasmine.

In the next scene Chloe, Jasmine and Alec are running through an ally like place and jasmine is explain that they were only suppose to be watching her to confirm if Alec was right about Chloe being one of them but when they saw the guy chasing her they step in. Chloe wants to know what she is but there’s no time because Alec believes they’re being followed.

In the next scene they are on a roof top Alec thinks they’re safe for now but he and Jasmine thinks it would be best to keep moving but Chloe refuses to go anywhere with them until they tell her “What the hell they are?” and then Alec corrects her “You mean what the hell are we. We are Mai.” Chloe is still confused because she has never heard of Mai which Jasmine explains is an ancient race that is part human and part god and that the Mai used to be humans protectors but they had a falling out when they got tired of following orders. Alec says they been hunted for 100 of years but Jasmine assures Chloe that they live pretty normal lives. Chloe then ask if they’ll be any more changes, Alec says “ No just a tail.” Jasmine says to ignore him and confirms there will be no tail. Then Alec asks Chloe if she regrets being mean to him but she doesn’t and then he ask about the boy at the coffee shop which Chloe says is none of his business and then Jasmine mentions she almost had a heart attack because she thought they were going to kiss. Then they explain that if Mai kiss human the human would die but nothing will happen to the Mai. When Jasmine sees Chloe worrying Jasmine assures her that everything is fine because she hasn’t kissed that guy but Chloe’s worried about Xavier the guy she already kissed.

The next scene is outside of an apartment building at night were police cars and an ambulance is present Chloe is crying and is very upset knowing that Xavier died because of her Jasmine says it isn’t her fault but this doesn’t help her feel any better. Then they tell her the guy whose after her is part of the order and won’t stop until he kills her and Chloe says he already throw her off the top of a building they confirm she is the uniter and has nine lives to live they say Chloe should go with them but Chloe wants nothing to with them and then heads home still crying.

Back home Chloe takes a shower and we see a bruise that pretty much covers all of her back.
The next scene is were scar guy tells a white man in a nice car tells him Chloe is who they were looking for and the other guy tells him to kill her as many times as he have to.

The next scene is back in Chloe’s bedroom and her friend Amy is upset because her and Paul broke up but Chloe can’t deal with this right now so Amy ask what so important and Chloe tries to show her the bruise on her back but it’s gone. Then Chloe tells Amy “I think I died today.” Amy asks confused and concerned if she’s okay but before Chloe could answer her phone rings. The phone call his from Paul’s phone but Paul is being held captive by scar guy and wants Chloe to come.

The next scene Chloe and Amy have drove to the abandoned warehouse were Paul is being held captive and Chloe says she’s going in Amy doesn’t think it’s a good idea for her to go in alone but Chloe shows her claws and this freaks Amy out into agree with her.

Inside the warehouse Paul is trying to convince his kidnapper to tie him to a chair instead since he doesn’t have good upper body strength. Then Chloe sees him and he sees her and tells her to leave because it’s a trap but she already knows this, but she tries to convince the guy that she’ll just take her friend leave and that she has nothing to do with the Mai. He then throws blades at her and disagrees then tells her he’s going to kill her 8 more times but Chloe doesn’t like this idea since dieing sucks and then they start fighting each other.
Outside Alec and Jasmine appear and freaks Amy out then Amy tells them were Chloe has went and they go in and Amy follows.

Inside the fight continues and when Chloe is pinned down the guy is taken down by Alec and then him and Jasmine join they fight also Alec unties Paul and he and Amy are united. Then at one point Chloe is knocked out a window but lands on her feet. Then Amy knocks scar guy out the window and the rest of them head outside. Then outside Chloe meets up with Jasmine and Alec she asks if they should go after him and Alec says yes but Jasmine says they should consider themselves lucky to be alive. Then the scar guy throws a blade at Chloe but Jasmine blocks it with her back Chloe says she ‘s sorry and Alec tells her she can’t run away.

In the next scene we learn that Brain’s dad is the guy that ordered Chloe to be killed but it doesn’t appear that Brain knows anything about this or Mai in general.

There is a montage of Alec watching over Jasmine, Chloe’s mom pulling out a box of papers about Chloe, Brain calling Chloe and Chloe receiving an email from her dad that says to trust no one.

Recap/Review: The O.C. Pilot (1.01)

                                        The O.C. Pilot (1.01 ) Review/recap
                                         
First Off The O.C. is my favorite T.V. show so if you want a review where someone bad mouths the show please look elsewhere because I love this show especially the first season. Also this review is also sort of like a recap in that I’m basically recapping with a lot more personal opinions. So without further ado onto the review.

On a dark abandon street in Chino we see two guys who are Trey and Ryan Atwood and we also see a car (that some person was stupid enough to abandon in a remote part of a bad neighborhood honestly they were kind of asking for their car to be stolen.). Trey the older brother decides he has to teach Ryan to steal a car because he’s his older brother and then smashes the window of the car. Ryan doesn’t want to steal the car and he sees a police car drive pass but Trey replies from the car “Stop being a little Bitch and get in.” and Ryan does get in. Then a car chase ensues and Trey is having a great time throughout and Ryan like any sane person would be is nervous about getting caught which they do when Trey crashes the car. I would also like to note that Trey is played by a different actor here then he was in season 2 and he has is eyebrow priced which bothers me, overall I’m glad he was recasted.

Then the scene changes to juvie in which Ryan is wearing a blue jumpsuit and he is led to meet his lawyer Sandy Cohen. Sandy introduces himself and says he’s going to help Ryan and “You could do worse.” Ryan asks were is brother is and Sandy tells him since Trey’s over 18 has priors, had a gun and drugs on him so he’ll be jail for a few years (obviously Trey was a bad influence). Sandy goes through information about Ryan such as he’s been suspended for fighting and has good test scores. Ryan’s good test scores makes Sandy ask Ryan what he’s planning for his future and when Ryan says he doesn’t have one yet Sandy says he needs one. Ryan replies in one of my favorite quotes of the episode “Where I come from having a dream doesn’t make you smart. Knowing it won’t come true? That does.” I love that quote because it just shows how hopeless things were for him while he was living in Chino. I don’t really remember what happens during the rest of that scene but I think it’s more about court dates and stuff.

Now outside of the police station Ryan has been released and Sandy reminds him when his court date Ryan says he’ll remember and then his mom shows up driving her car over the sidewalk and she is very angry(I also think she’s drunk which is kind of ironic considering that she’s at a police station but maybe that’s normal in Chino) saying that Sandy should of let him rot in there just like his dad and his brother. Sandy senses that things aren’t going to go well for Ryan so he decides to give Ryan his card just case.

Once at home Ryan’s mom continues with yelling at him as well as pouring herself a glass of what looks like vodka which only proofs my theory that she was drunk at the police station. She tells Ryan that she wants him out of the house in which Ryan noticeably upset ask “Where am I suppose to go?” honestly it kind of breaks my heart when he says that it’s in the delivery good job Ben Mckenzie. Then Ryan’s mom’s dead beat boyfriend tells Ryan to just listen to his mother in which Ryan replies “Why don’t you worry about your own kids instead of freeloading off my mom.” This causes the first fist fight of the series to ensue and then Ryan goes and packs his bags while the theme song California by Phantom Planet plays. Ryan leaves and we see his house from the outside and it’s a small slightly ran down and has a mattress in the yard and then Ryan goes off to a pay phone to call all his friends for a place to stay but none them can have him stay so he gets increasingly angry as he gets rejected. Then he remembers Sandy gave him his card and he calls him and Sandy being the best lawyer ever shows up and drives Ryan to his home in Newport which is far prettier then Chino and the film quality is better I really like the contrast between Chino and Newport. I also like that so much has happened so far and yet Ryan has just arrived in Newport which orange county aka the o.c.

When they arrive in the Cohen driveway Sandy saws he has to tell is wife about Ryan before he can come in. He hesitates weather or not leave the keys in the car or not Ryan seeing this says “It’s no fun if the keys are in the car.” Ha see Ryan can be funny we just don’t notice it because he’s around Seth but we haven’t met him yet so back to the present Sandy leaves trusting Ryan not to steal his car.

We cut to the Cohen kitchen which is entirely different in the pilot the cabinets look kind of grayish overall it’s not as nice as it usually is so it distracts me a bit. Kristen Sandy’s wife is upset that her husband brought home a felon but Sandy assures her is not a felon but rather a kid with no one and no where to go and after some convincing Kristen agrees and when she starts to walk away Sandy asks where she’s going she replies “ I’m going to lock my jewels in the vault, he’s going to need some fresh sheets.” This quote first off makes me life and second off it shows that despite Kristen’s hesitance for letting Ryan stay there she’s a warm caring person.

Outside in the Cohen driveway Ryan gets out of the car and heads to the end of the driveway for a smoke and down there he finds the neighbor girl Marissa who ask him who he is and Ryan tries to use a lame pick up line “Who ever you want me to be.” which just makes Marissa say okay and look at him weird. Really Ryan should have just been himself but he was clearly taken off guard by a pretty girl so I’ll let it slide. Then after a few seconds of silence Marissa asks for a smoke and then to light it she uses Ryan and there’s some sexually tension and they look into each other’s eyes and then once it’s lit they move apart. Then Marissa ask who Ryan really is and he tells her the truth about who he is and why he’s here and once again the delivery is very good and makes me really feel for him. Then for some reason Marissa says “Your there cousin from Boston right.” Ryan agrees to this and then Sandy comes down and Marissa puts out her ciggerattie.

Marissa says she was just getting to know Ryan and sandy then says he came from Seattle Ryan says his mom lives there and dad in Boston. Then Sandy mentions there excited for her fashion show tomorrow and she laughs and says really and then Sandy says no. Then Luke shows up in a pickup truck with music playing loudly and tells Marissa to hop in before Marissa does she tells Ryan he should check out the fashion show then gets in Luke’s truck and kisses him and Luke wonders who Ryan is. For some reason despite the fact the Luke has done anything yet I think of him as jerk maybe it’s because I’m already attached to Ryan or the that I didn’t watch the pilot first. They leave and Sandy tells Ryan if he stays at there house there’s no smoking so Ryan puts out his ciggerate and then Sandy goes down to stamp it out then they head into the Cohen house.

Then they enter the pool house which seems to being used as storage at the moment and in there is both Kristen and Rosa ( the Cohen’s maid or something that appears in a few episodes in season one and then disappears) anyway Kristen welcomes Ryan into her home and then they leave Ryan and he looks around then the scene ends.

Now it’s the next morning and Ryan gets up and out of the pool house and he sees the wonderful view the Cohen’s have of the ocean which is extremely view and there’s also quite a bit of green so overall Ryan’s having I’m sure not in chino anymore look around and then he crosses the yard and enters the Cohen’s main house. When he enters the house he sees the Cohen’s son Seth who’s playing video games and they say hey to each other and Seth asks if he wants to play. We cut forward in time a bit were they have been playing for awhile and Seth is narrating what is happening in the game he clearly won. Then Seth suggest they play grand theft auto then “Oh, hey, do you want to play 'Grand Theft Auto'? It's pretty cool. You can, like, steal cars and ... not that that's cool ... or uncool. I don't know.” it’s just so funny awkward but he seems like Ryan wasn’t offend. Then Sandy comes in saves Seth from his babbling and suggest they go out side then Seth and Ryan go sailing.

Then we cut to Seth and Ryan sailing the stop for a bit and Seth tells Ryan his plans to sail to Tahiti next summer and Ryan asks if he’ll lonely Seth replies “Well I’ll have Summer with me.” Ryan thinks Seth is talking about the sail boat which is named the Summer Breeze. Seth tells him it’s the girl the boats named after. Ryan “ She must be pretty stoked.” Seth “ Yeah I’ve never talk to her before in my life.” First off I love that Seth has liked Summer for so long and also like the expression on Ryan’s face when Seth says this he’s just has look that’s like okay that’s kind of weird, but he doesn’t say anything about it.

Then Seth and Ryan are on the beach taking the sails down from the sail boat or something when Sandy comes down the beach and tells them they should be getting ready for the fashion show. Seth doesn’t want to go because pretty much all the kids are jerks to him. Sandy brings up that Marissa invited him and Seth mentions that Marissa has barely said two words to him despite the fact they have lived next door to each other forever and that his mom and her dad almost got married. Sandy cuts in and says “They did not almost get married.” Then Ryan convinces Seth to go the fashion show by saying Summer might be there then Seth mentions Summer is Marissa’s best friend.

Then we see that Marissa was watching from the balcony and then the door bell rings and it’s two men in suits who have been here several times in the past and are looking for her dad. After the two men leave Marissa heads to her dad’s office which he’s in she asks who they are and Marissa’s dad Jimmy jokes around about it and Marissa asks if it’s anything to be worried about he says no but Marissa doesn’t seem convinced.

In the next scene Ryan is getting ready for the party he’s currently in a suit (which he looks really good in it and I love that we get to see everyone dress up almost every episode) but he can’t seem to tie his tie. When Sandy comes in he sees that Ryan doesn’t have his tie tied Ryan makes the excuse that open collar is a good look Sandy mentions how he couldn’t tie a tie until he was 22 and then helps Ryan tie his tie.

Then over at the Cooper house were introduced to Marissa’s mom Julie and her little sister Katlin we see that Marissa and her mom don’t have the best relationship then Jimmy comes downstairs and they leave and while going out the door he tells Marissa she looks great.

Then at the first Newport party Ryan looks around and feels out of place and Seth says “Welcome to the dark side.” Then there’s a couple of scenes of people asking if Ryan is from Boston, Seattle and Canada Ryan says he is from all those places. Then Ryan’s orders a drink but Kristen catches him so he gives her his drink then she says “I want my husband to be right about you.” She also has this smile on her face which makes it very hard not to like.

Then Seth awkwardly says hi to Luke who jerkly replies “Suck it queer.” and this makes my earlier hatred of him justified. Then Seth replies “My summer was thanks for asking.” which makes me love him because he’s just so adorable and dorky. Also there’s this part right before Luke leaves were he and Ryan stare each other down which I like because it shows that Ryan already protective of Seth. Then Seth sees Summer and says “Summer's right over there, look. Wait, don't look. I mean you can look, but don't look like you're looking.” and then over across the way Summer sees Ryan and becomes interested in him. Then back with the boys Sandy comes over and points Summer out which embrasses Seth so he walks away and then Ryan says “Way to salt his game Mr.Cohen.” I have no idea what that means.

Inside right before the fashion show Seth and Ryan find their seats at a table in which either middle schoolers or elementary kids are seated one them is named Chester and Seth teaches him sailing. The kids seem weird out by this as does Ryan but they all just go with it and the fashion begins Marissa makes some speech and then Summer comes out in dress that’s blue with pinkish purple triangles on it and a lot of blue eye make up . Seth “She’s got Tahiti written all over her.”

Then behind the scenes we see a bunch of girls getting ready then we see Marissa in the bathroom doing her make up and then Summer comes in with two glasses of wine and Marissa reveals she already stole a bottle of vodka and I assume the girls drink up. Then Marissa takes her turn on the catwalk and winks at Ryan which Luke sees and is angry about it.

Over at the adult table someone mentions how beautiful Marissa looks along with how expensive her dress is. Then an unnamed man says Jimmy’s managing his money and excepts to die rich and Sandy points out he’s bound to be half right then Jimmy gets up from the table. In the bathroom Jimmy has a breakdown in a stale it’s not over the top and think Tate Donvan did a very good job acting it out.

Outside after the fashion show Summer comes up to Ryan and invites him to a party at Holly’s beach house. Then Ryan tells Seth they should go to the party Seth isn’t convinced they should go but then Ryan mentions Summer invited him then says actually she asked for you. Seth’s replies “That makes absolutely no sense but we should go.” Then they off in the car to the party and Ryan watches Marissa a different car with Luke while Swing Swing by the All American Rejects plays.

Then they arrive at the beach house which has lots of sex, drugs and drinking once inside the house Ryan says to Seth “ Welcome to the dark side.” Ryan clearly feels more comfortable here then at the fashion show but Seth is clear uncomfortable when he sees people doing coke he sarcastically says “ Oh, hey cocaine. That's awesome.”

The girls are poring drinks and people mentions Marissa’s new purse and how her dad never says no. Then Summer says how she’s going to play Ryan hot and cold then she says “I got to pee you got to pee.” and then she and some other go head of to the bathroom. I really liked the way summer dismissed herself to go to the bathroom don’t know why though.

Then we see Luke hitting on some younger girl and they head off to the beach to you know and Ryan sees this.

Then we cut Kristen and Jimmy talking about their lives, who Ryan really is, how Kristen is worried about Seth because he never goes out and then Kristen tells Jimmy that if there’s anything wrong he can come to her.

Back at the party Seth walks into the bathroom “ I really should learn to knock incase there’s a threesome going on in the bathroom.” The threesome seems unaffected by his interrupting. Else where Ryan and Marissa meet up and Marissa asks Ryan what he thinks of Newport he replies “I think I can get in less trouble were I’m from.” she replies “You have no idea.” with a sexy smile then leaves.

Later on Summer drunkly hits on Ryan and Seth sees this and being drunk and upset he reveals that Ryan is from chino. After learning this news Summer says “Ew Chino.” Then Ryan leaves but everyone at the party seems to know already and he once again feels very out of place.

Then we cut to Seth wondering about down on the beach and then some water polo players found him and decide to beat him up. Seth “ You guys really wouldn't hurt me. Because that would be so clichéd. (they pick him up) Oh, I guess you're fans of the cliché.” Ryan sees this going from a distance and being the good friend he is he comes and rescues Seth. When Seth sees him he causally says “What’s up?” while being hung upside down.
