OC Season 2 Spoilers

I just got back from watching the first two episodes, so yes, there are spoilers ahead.

Ryan gets a job as a construction worker. Seth goes to Portland and is staying with Luke and his gay father. Sandy visits Ryan, gives him a plane ticket to Portland, and asks him to talk Seth into coming back. Meanwhile, Julie has been spending her new husband's money like water, and Cal is all paranoid about the Feds. Ryan goes to Portland, missing Teresa's check-up in the process. While he's in Portland, she calls him and tells him she's had a miscarriage (people cheered).

Ryan: "You don't want me to come home."
Teresa: (in tears) "You don't want to come home."

She's lying about the miscarriage, of course, because she realizes how miserable he is with her. Ryan and Seth go back to the OC.

Umm....

Oh yeah. Marissa has a drinking problem, and Summer has a new bf, Zack (who is waaay hot), and is angry at Seth. There is some super-hot yard guy, D.J. (I think that was his name), whom Marissa has been hooking up with, but we don't find that out until a more dramatic moment in the episode, of course.

First day of school. Seth and Ryan get out of the car to see Marissa and Summer. Marissa hugs Ryan, Summer runs away. Seth unknowingly befriends Summer's new bf, but finds out later, of course.

The DA has enough evidence to incriminate Cal, and Sandy tells Julie, who is furious, and threatens, "If Cal goes down, [Seth's mom] is going down with him. My kids won't be the only ones to lose everything," or something like that. Sandy and Cal are getting along remarkably well, though.

Marissa screams at her mom when she pries about "what is wrong with [her] lately." Low point of her acting career, besides the scene when...

She tries to break up with Hot Yard Boy, who saw her kissing Ryan earlier, and is all insulted that she's all condescending to him around her friends. They kiss just as Ryan drives up and sees them. Cheesiest point of the entire thing (people laughed).

They all go to the carnival (not together), where Ryan tells Marissa they should just be friends, Seth attempts to win Summer back in front of Zack (to no avail), and everyone has an all-around miserable time.

They come home to see Cal, Seth's mom, and Sandy having take-out, when the police come and arrest Cal.

The end.

I think I might have forgotten some stuff, and it's all out of order, and I cut out the unimportant stuff, but I think I got the gist of it.

Enjoy.
