It's My Party and I'll Lie If I Want To - 
by J-Unit
Although The OC may not be as trendy as it once was, I still believe that when done right, it is a solid hour of television. With the re-introduction of Kaitlin Cooper, I think that we have hit a sweet spot when it comes to the amount of characters and the story lines. That's not to say that the episodes aren't over the top, and sometimes barely believable, but to me the flow of events is much more natural. Considering they have been able to work in Kaitlin Cooper after a two-year hiatus, that's actually saying a lot. Speaking of Kaitlin, I find it humorous how everybody finds that it is a surprise that the youngest Cooper is a bad girl. Seeing how her father, mother, and older sister are all pillars of the community, how could things go so wrong?
As hard as it was for us to adjust to the idea of having Kaitlin back, it was just as tough for her to come back and find her life has gone from model home to trailer park. Poor Kaitlin, who now joins poor Julie and poor Marissa, she just doesn't fit in. Like she was saying last week, it is hard to go home.
Seth is facing a completely different problem. For him, he is starting to feel like it is hard to leave home. Yes, that is right, he is having second thoughts about leaving Newport. He recently heard from his counselor that there was going to be somebody from Brown coming to do interviews. It was great news, but he was afraid to tell Summer. Even though the last time Seth and Summer had an argument about going to Brown they had some good make up sex (or it would have been good make up sex if they had concentrated on something besides filling out and mailing their college applications), Seth doesn't want to risk another conflict between them. More importantly than that, he was worried that if Summer didn't get in, he would have to learn to live without her. Knowing that Ryan is going to Berkeley, it means that he would be missing the two most important people to come into his life the last couple of year as he was about to go to college.
All of this worrying about college makes Seth so stressed out that he pours coffee into his cereal bowl. I laughed out loud, because every now and then I still find myself in a stupor and pour orange juice into my Lucky Charms. I'm surprised that Seth was so worried about what was happening with Summer. If there is something he should have learned by now it's that he shouldn't ever underestimate his girlfriend. Summer got her interview with the Brown representative, and while she was feeling a little bit of anxiety about leaving Newport, it wasn't eating her up inside like she had just had two packets of pop rocks and a diet coke.
