Sandy wants to have a family dinner with Kirsten, Seth, and Ryan, despite
everyone’s claims that they are too busy. When the phone rings and it is for
Ryan, Sandy passes the phone to him. It was Trey, who announced that he is
getting out of jail the next day and wants Ryan to pick him up.
The next day, Ryan tells Seth that he is trying to brace himself for the day
ahead. Ryan admits that he maybe wants Trey out of his life. Meanwhile,
Sandy and Kirsten talk about the effect that Trey might have on Ryan. Ryan
and Seth join them, and Ryan tells Sandy that they do not have to come to
Chino with him, but Sandy insists. Seth asks to skip school and come with
them, but is turned down.

stay with them, but Ryan says that Trey can take care of himself. Trey comes

the pool house, and Trey is even more amazed when he sees that. Trey assures
Ryan that he will not screw up Ryan’s good thing with the Cohens.

does not seem to find Seth’s banter so amusing. Sandy and Ryan come in, and
Sandy gives Trey some shopping money. Ryan asks Seth to call Marissa and
have her meet them shopping.

stay with them, and Kirsten seems to not mind at all. When Sandy wants to
meet Carter, she lies and tells him that Carter is too busy.

and Lance gives him the video. Cal says that there is nothing Julie has done

Cal tells Lance to hand over the money. Lance does so, and when Cal leaves,

down, feeling awkward in front of Julie, who teases her as soon as Carter

realizes what is going on, he excuses himself. Kirsten asks for chardonnay
from the server— Lance!
Ryan and Marissa find Trey at a bar. Trey tells Ryan to beat it, and goes
outside.

out, though, so Summer tells him. Seth insists that he only told Summer
because she begged him to. Summer finds Seth’s explanation sweet, and kisses
him.
Carter, Julie, and Kirsten stand on stage to launch the new magazine. Carter
introduces Julie, who begins to play the video advertisement of the
magazine. However, Lance switched out the tapes, and everyone at the party
