The episode started off pleasantly enough. Sandy rolls up to the house and apparently it is really early, so he decides to try and sneak back into his house. Uhh, who is he trying to avoid? He has a wife, and I think she is going to notice that he was gone the previous night even if he was able to slip into bed before she woke up.

Sandy isn't the only one awake in the house either. Ryan is trying to study for an exam that he didn't feel that he was prepared for. I do have to say that I did like those days in high school where you could fake your way through class if you had an extra hour or so in the morning. Seth walks in and is surprised to see Ryan in the kitchen. You see, it's really early, so nobody should be there. It would have been slightly more believable that it was the wee hours of the morning if the sun wasn't shining outside like it was high noon, but whatever. It's been a while since Seth has had Ryan and so you think he wouldn't wake up so early to ask him yet another question about Summer. Is Seth worried that Ryan is going to run away? Is it something that they couldn't discuss on their walk to school?

No it was just an excuse so Seth would have a reason to be out of bed was his dad walked in. Oh, how ironic! It was only a few weeks ago that Seth was in trouble for being out past curfew. He was even grounded. Now Sandy comes in too late and we see the great role reversal. It allows Seth to come up with a one-liner and for Sandy to reply with a one-liner. As funny as that was, Sandy still has to make it through the most difficult part of the gauntlet, namely his wife. While she is brushing her teeth or washing her face or flushing her tampon, Sandy tries to sneak into the bed. Kirsten sees him and he braces for the worst. Luckily, she still thinks that Rebecca is dead, and thinks that Sandy was up all night with his mentor helping him cope with the loss of his daughter.

Why is Kirsten up when it's so early? Well, we need some reason for her to go downstairs and talk with Ryan. Ryan talks about his non-dinner with Lindsay and Caleb, and Kirsten decides that she must do something to intervene or Lindsay may never get to know her father. They decide that the best idea would be some dinner. Afte rall, Luke Skywalker's father was a pretty bad guy, and they got along together in the end.
