Kaitlin calls Taylor and finds out why she isn’t there
to go to dinner with them. Kaitlin also asks her if she is going to go to
Kirsten’s 40th birthday party that night, but Taylor declines, saying that
she is giving Ryan space. After Taylor hangs up, she continues spying on
Ryan at work, until a security guard asks her to leave.
Kaitlin and Julie sit down to dinner, but when Julie gets a phone call, she
leaves the room. She discusses with the person on the other end that they
are going to have to meet secretly.
Che meditates when Summer comes into the room and asks him what he is doing.
Che says that he knows who his soulmate is, but the situation is
complicated. Summer encourages him to spend time with the person instead of
meditating, not realizing that Che thinks his soulmate is Seth. Che also
tells Summer that he plans to free Newport Chuck, Newport’s groundhog, on
Groundhog Day.
Seth, Ryan, and Sandy head out to the movie theater after Kirsten declines
to join them. After they leave, Kirsten calls a doctor, asking him to see
her, saying that she has an urgent problem. In the car, Sandy tells the boys
that Kirsten is just down about turning forty. He also tells them that
Kirsten does not know about her birthday party—it’s a surprise!
Seth wakes up the next morning and finds Che in his bedroom. Che wants Seth
to help him in his mission to save Groundhog Day.
Kaitlin hangs out with Eric and Brad, and she writes an email to Gordon
pretending to be Julie. In the email, she tells him how much she misses him
and his butt.
Sandy meets with Ryan in the pool house and asks him to go with him to get
Kirsten’s birthday present. Ryan agrees, and he tells him that he is trying
to stay busy without Taylor, and he says that he doesn’t miss her. After
Sandy leaves, though, Ryan pulls out the scrapbook that Taylor made him and
begins to look through it.
Taylor visits a counselor, saying that she is having an emotional crisis.
She needs to figure out her life, and she needs to stop stalking Ryan. The
counselor warns Taylor that her methods will be very aggressive, which
Taylor says is fine.
Julie takes down pictures to sell. Kaitlin asks her why she is doing that,
since her boyfriend is a billionaire. Julie accidentally slips that he is
not, and Kaitlin asks her if she is cheating on Gordon. Julie says that they
were never officially dating, but Kaitlin tells her that Gordon is coming
home that day and thinks that they are still together. The doorbell rings,
and Kaitlin goes to answer it—it is a delivery man with flowers for Julie.
Believing them to be from Julie’s mysterious suitor, Kaitlin tosses them in
the garbage bin.
Kirsten meets with her doctor and tells her that she has been weak over the
past few weeks. The doctor says that they will do some blood work.
Seth panics when he realizes that Che wants him to help release Newport
Chuck. Che is able to guilt him into helping out though, and Che is pleased
when Seth says that he feels like they have a connection.
Kaitlin talks to Gordon on the phone and tells him that she has something
she wants to tell him about Julie. Gordon tells her that he is going to
propose to Julie, and so Kaitlin keeps her mouth shut about Julie’s
mysterious boyfriend. She urges Gordon to pop the question and gives him
ring suggestions.
Taylor clears out all of her things that remind her of Ryan. Summer
challenges her to sort out her problems with Ryan instead, saying that she
might lose Ryan for good by pushing him away. Taylor says that she has to do
it this way, otherwise, she will definitely lose Ryan anyways.
Kaitlin and Ryan run into each other at the pier, and Ryan asks Kaitlin how
Taylor is doing. Kaitlin says that Taylor is normal/weird. Sandy tells Ryan
that his gift for Kirsten has been lost. After Sandy and Ryan leave, Gordon
comes to Kaitlin and shows her the ring that he bought for Julie. The two
head off to discuss the proposal.
Che and Seth plan out how to steal Newport Chuck. Seth tries to convince Che
that their plan will never work, but Che is not swayed.
Taylor’s counselor shows up on Ryan’s doorstep and gives him Taylor’s box of
things that remind her of him. Ryan notices Taylor in the car, and he comes
out and tries to convince her that they should work out their problems
together. Taylor cannot have direct contact with Ryan, though, and through
the counselor, she asks Ryan to trust her. Taylor and the counselor leave.
Che and Seth break into the building and steal Newport Chuck. They run up to
the roof, but then Che realizes that he forgot the rope to lower them down
inside. Che goes to the roof door to go back down and get it, but the door
is locked.
The next morning, Che, Seth, and Newport Chuck are still on the roof. Che
tries to tell Seth about his feelings for him, but the two are interrupted
when a cop comes outside and confronts them.
Sandy wishes Kirsten a happy birthday. He offers to make her breakfast, but
Kirsten says that she isn’t in the mood. Sandy tries to cheer her up,
reminding her that soon the boys will be gone and they can live like kids
again. Kirsten tries to tell him something, but then Ryan comes in the
kitchen and wishes Kirsten a happy birthday too. Kirsten gets a phone call
and runs out of the kitchen. Sandy tells Ryan that he thinks Kirsten really
needs this party.
Kirsten talks to the doctor, asking her if she can just tell her over the
phone what is wrong with her instead of her going into the office. The
doctor insists that she must tell her in person.
Julie heads to her date, but Kaitlin calls her and pretends that she thinks
her appendix is bursting.
The counselor tries to comfort Taylor, saying that she will be able to be
with Ryan soon, but first, Taylor has to take care of herself. After the
counselor leaves, Taylor spots Ryan and Sandy hanging out in the distance.
She bumps into several guys wearing groundhog suits, and she seems to have
an idea.
Julie rushes to Kaitlin’s side, who tells her that she is fine. Instead,
Gordon comes out of the next room, gets down on one knee, and tells Julie
that he wants to marry her. Julie is stunned. She tells Gordon that she
isn’t sure what to say, despite Kaitlin’s insisting that this is a great
thing. Gordon asks her about all the emails that she has sent him, and after
he reminds her of the last one, Julie looks directly at Kaitlin. Kaitlin
realizes she just might be in some trouble.
Che calls Summer (from jail!) and tells him that he was unable to release
Newport Chuck. He tells her that it is her destiny to free Newport Chuck
instead, and Summer says that she will see what she can do. Seth goes to
make his phone call.
Summer, at the Groundhog Day ceremony, asks a woman in charge about all of
the people who get to be on stage. The woman mentions all of the people who
are up there dressed as groundhogs, and Summer gets an idea.
Julie confronts Kaitlin. Kaitlin tells Julie that she does not just want her
to marry Gordon because he is rich, but also because he would make an
amazing stepfather. Julie realizes how much Kaitlin seems to care for
Gordon. Julie tells Kaitlin that she has to tell him the truth, and she also
says that she doesn’t know what she is going to say to Gordon. Kaitlin tells
her to make up her mind quick, and she says that she is taking Gordon to
Kirsten’s party.
Kirsten comes home from the doctor’s office. Julie calls her and tells her
that Gordon proposed, and she isn’t sure what to do. Julie says that she has
been seeing someone in secret—Kirsten will never believe who! But Kirsten
tells her that she is going to lie down, and she hangs up.
Sandy tells Ryan that he has found a replacement gift for Kirsten. The whole
thing should be fine now. Sandy asks Ryan about his relationship with
Taylor. Meanwhile, Taylor, dressed in a groundhog suit, approaches the two
men. Sandy gets up to accept a phone call, and she continues to approach
Ryan. Ryan sees her, and when Taylor turns around to run away, she trips and
her mask falls off. Embarrassed, Taylor tells Ryan to forget he ever knew
her. She runs away.
Seth and Che watch the news from prison—as it turns out, a woman was
arrested while trying to steal Newport Chuck at the ceremony. Newport Chuck
got away, however. Seth tells Che that Sandy will be there to get them soon.
Che begins to tell Seth about his dream and his belief that Seth is his
soulmate, but then the woman comes to the prison. When she takes off her
mask, it is love at first sight for Che. He realizes that his soulmate is a
groundhog, and not an otter. The two instantly pair off. An officer tells
Seth and Che that their bail has been posted, but Che says that he is not
going until his girlfriend is free. Seth leaves.
Sandy calls Kirsten and asks her to meet him at the Yacht Club. She asks him
if he has planned anything big, but he dodges the question. After he gets
off the phone, Seth is released to him.
Kirsten answers the door. It is a chauffeur, there to take her to her
husband.
Seth and Ryan chat about Seth’s misfortune. Kirsten arrives, and the two
boys help her out of the car. Sandy arrives, driving a mail truck just like
the one they had such fond memories of! Kirsten is surprised. Sandy gives
her an envelope with her real present—around the world tickets for the two
of them. Kirsten says that she can top that gift, and she pulls Sandy aside.
She tells him that she is pregnant. Sandy is thrilled, and he tells her that
he loves her. The two hug.
Later that evening at the party, Kaitlin and Gordon hang out when Julie
comes and joins them. She tells Gordon that she cannot marry him—however,
she wants to get to know him better, and if she grows to love him, then she
will gladly marry him. Gordon and Julie kiss, and then the three have a
group hug.
Sandy and Kirsten break the news to Seth and Ryan. The two congratulate
them. Sandy and Kirsten head into the party, and Seth and Ryan leave (Seth
to pick up Summer and Ryan to tell Taylor that he loves her).
Summer gives Newport Chuck to Che and his girlfriend so the two can go
release it in the wild. As it turns out, the mayor granted them both
amnesty, since he loves groundhogs as well. Seth joins them, and after Che
and his girlfriend leave, Seth tells Summer about Kirsten’s pregnancy. The
two head off to the party.
Taylor cries in her bedroom. Ryan calls her and pretends to stalk her. He
comes into her bedroom, and the two kiss. Taylor tells him that being
separated was a terrible idea, and the two joke about taking turns stalking
each other.
Julie giggles while she watches Gordon and Kaitlin dancing together. She
then observes several other couples dancing together. She goes outside and
calls the mysterious boyfriend, and then she breaks things off with him,
saying that being with Gordon will be better for her family. She apologizes.
After she gets off the phone, we find out that her boyfriend was Frank! He
sadly sits in the dark, looking at the engagement ring that he had bought
for Julie as well.
