Just in case there are some idiots out there that were wondering, Seth hasn't quite rid himself of his Summer bug. He talks about her constantly, and has progressed through the phases of breaking up in a pain-inducing manner. But at least he wants to move on, and the best way to do that is to pick out random girls from his yearbook. Newport is so high-tech these days, I thought some enterprising lad would make up a facebook for high school kids. It's much better to scope your potential mate in person. In my case, it is either from the corner booth of my local bar, or if I am too, uhh, altered or unmotivated, from the balcony of my apartment. For Seth, he tries the quad before class. He and Ryan play the old "yes, no, yes, yes, no" game that all eligible bachelors and their sidekicks play while on the hunt. They are having fun leering when Lindsay just happens upon them and knows what they are doing, which is basically a "rack and/or ass" comparison.

I would have loved to have seen Seth's reaction when he got a load of Marissa. I am not sure what happened to her, but it looked like she took a look at this months's "In Style" magazine, went straight to the "What's Hot" page, and put on everything all at once. This sort of strategy is more of a tactic for Duluth, not Newport, and so Marissa looked like some sort of chimney sweep from a Dickens novel. Hey, it's possible, perhaps the school is putting on a show of Oliver Twist, and Marisss wants to stay in character. Anyway, the writers once again showed their power of making the obvious, well, obvious to the viewer by letting us know that Marissa is always filled with guy drama, whether it's watching your ex-boyfriend hook up with a skank in Tijuana, knwoing your ex-boyfriend hooked up with your mom, or finding out your ex-boyfriend is the father of a child. (Speaking of which, shouldn't we have at least had a cameo appearance from Theresa to see what she was going to do now that she had thrown out the alleged father of her baby?) Summer is doing much better, but we already know she is going to spend another episode trying to convince herself and her new boyfriend that she isn't in love with Seth.
