After some thought, Nicole talks to Veronica, relates her own sad adolescence, and suggests that perhaps there are better ways to get her mom's attention than showing the lifeguard some skull. My suggestion to Gabriel? He could have nipped this whole problem when it began if he had found a hotter, preferably older hotel guest to have sex with so Veronica wouldn't get any ideas.
To finish the show, North Shore gave us a few twists. It turns out that Cari, our tennis start, was photographed in the pool with Jason. When Jason heads to her bungalow to apologize, we find out that Jason was acting the beard, and Cari is more interested in getting filthy with her (female) publicist than she is with doing the dirty with Jason, and the photo of her kissing a man won't hurt her career. Before Jason has time to get upset, he has to track down an actual paparazzi and destroy some incriminating film, all in the name of the hotel.
The second twist was towards the end, when we discover Nicole is engaged, and has one hell of a ring to show for it. All of that time Jason spent deciding if he should pursue his feelings for his old flame go to waste, and Jason has nothing to do but paddle out to the ocean and hit some waves, just like daddy said.
So, maybe you think that North Shore might not be worth it. If you were looking for a version of The OC in Hawaii, you have come to the wrong place. Sure it may use the "normal folk in a rich neighborhood" formula as its premise, but it really a unique and different show, which is a good thing. You are certain to get your filling of boobs and butts in bikinis, but we are set up for some interesting, if slightly predictable story lines. I am waiting for Amanda Raghetti to show up, which is sure to add some more flavor to a cast that shows just as much breakout potential as the one we grew to love so much last year.
