2 - "The Model
Home" - August 12 |
| Faced with the prospect
of returning to foster care, Ryan attempts to run away from the Cohen
house, but is thwarted when Seth discovers his intentions. Unwilling
to lose his new and only friend, Seth devises a plan to keep Ryan
in the O.C. – offering to hide him in his mother's unfinished
housing development. They receive an unlikely accomplice in their
scheme when Marissa joins them, taking on the challenge of proving
to Ryan and Seth that she is not the shallow rich girl they believe
her to be, and creating a deeper divide between her best friend, Summer,
and her boyfriend, Luke, in the process. The enclave the three of
them have built is destroyed, however, when Luke and his cronies discover
Ryan at the development, leading to a near fatal showdown when the
house goes up in flames. Concurrently, Sandy and Kirsten discover
Ryan has disappeared and question Seth as to his whereabouts to no
avail, while they continue to disagree about the appropriate way to
deal with Ryan. |
