What About Your Friends - 
by J-Unit
So Summer is getting a sister at home. She is so close with Marissa, they have the one relationship that hasn't had a major falling out at any point during the series, which means that they will have to have a fight before long, so watch for that. What we weren't expecting was for Summer to have a new BFF at school. And who was it that could replace Marissa Cooper? Could it be the wannabe Marissa Cooper, Taylor Townsend?
As strange as it sounds, it looks like that is exactly what is happening. Summer has been super busy planning the school dance, and Taylor asks if she can help out. The whole idea that Taylor Townsend would think Summer would have any interest in Taylor helping out was just laughable, but then Taylor began to pour her heart out to Summer. Senior year was supposed to be different. For a number of reasons, she doesn't have any friends, and the real reason she wanted to be social chair was because she wanted a chance to show that she can change, and maybe for once people will write something in her yearbook that would mean something. Maybe people would say it was great to finally get to know you.
If there is one thing that Summer cannot resist is a good sob story, and despite everything that Taylor has meant to her in the past, she lets Taylor help out. One of the girls was having trouble cutting out an octagon, and hers had only three sides, which of course makes it a triangle. Summer should have just made it easy and used the best shape of all - the RHOMBUS. I don't actually think there is anything that great about the RHOMBUS, but I love saying RHOMBUS. It has some sort of flair to it. RHOMBUS! Ok, I'll stop capitalizing rhombus because it is annoying, but you should all go out and try to use rhombus in a conversation with a friend. Notice the looks that you receive. If they aren't puzzled, they will surely be impressed because everybody loves a RHOMBUS. Oh shit, there I go again.
It seems almost too good to be true that Taylor is all of a sudden being very friendly, but it appears she has become nice, or at least a little bit smaller of a skank bitch. After overhearing a conversation in the teacher's lounge between Dean Hess and another teacher, Taylor knows she has to report back to Summer, and it's not good news. The Dean said that if Seth doesn't give up his accomplice, he will be suspended. Seth has refused to narc on Summer, so she knows that if she wants to help her boyfriend, she is going to have to confess herself. She walks into the Dean's office, which appears even larger than Dr. Kim's office, and is a lot bigger than the office of our truant officer in High School, which was basically a spare desk outside of the principal's secretary's office. Summer lets him know that she was the one who helped Seth, and he shouldn't be suspended. Dean Hess looks at her, says that he is happy she came forward, but with this new information, he wouldn't be able to let her continue on as social chair. Suddenly, it all comes into place for Summer. Taylor set her up and never really wanted to be friends at all.
In the world of our adults, Sandy and Kirsten are wondering what to do about the Newport Group. Basically, the company is in deep shit because Caleb mismanaged it so thoroughly. They could probably build it back up, but it would take a lot of work. Kirsten doesn't think that it is worth it, and decides to liquidate the company. It all perfectly makes sense, Kirsten is trying to put everything in the past, but it also makes it difficult for a number of people, including Julie Cooper, who was hoping to get a loan from the Newport Group to get back on her feet. Sandy tells her that is not possible, even without the liquidation. Now Julie has nothing to do except act surprised when the repo men come and take everything out of her house.
Every divorcée's nightmare; a well-dressed asian repo man.
As inconvenient as all of this was for Julie, it was even worse for Charlotte. When we last saw our buxom friend, crawling out the back window of her cabin house, which really wasn't her cabin house. That means that this whole thing was an elaborate scheme to get close to Kirsten, but why? Charlotte sends Kirsten some flowers, invites her to lunch, and we soon find out that Charlotte is a con artist. During their lunch, Charlotte says that she wants to create a halfway house for women who are recovering from addiction. She has a lot of investors, but she knew Kirsten would love to help out. With just a couple of million dollars, Kirsten could help out, and make her money back in a couple of years.
Kirsten is completely naive, and would have been taken to the cleaners, but without any of her father's money, she doesn't have a couple of million lying around that she can invest. She tells this to Charlotte, who is dumbfounded. Apparently, she faked her way in to rehab, at a very expensive place, just to get close to Kirsten and scam her from her father's money. She rented a cabin to come up with this scheme, and now it looks like it was all for nothing. Desperate, Charlotte asks if the Newport Group would like to be a silent partner. Kirsten tells her that they are liquidating and nothing will be left.
