So I absolutely love that this episode of The O.C. starts off with Ryan suggesting to his girlfriend that they don't celebrate Valentine's Day. To, you know, stave off any disasters that might befall them. I love it because it's completely impossible. Impossible you ask? Yes, impossible that Ryan's balls would remain in tact after making the suggestion. Taylor is a little crazy over this suggestion, but Ryan assures her that this decision has NOTHING to do with how he feels about her, the recent troubles they've been having or the mysterious address that is sitting on his night stand. Nothing at all. Well, it doesn't take Velma and the Scooby Van to figure out what's going to happen next. Taylor steals the address, proving that romance and trust is very alive, and heads off to check it out. Who will be behind the door? Sadie or Lindsay? Perhaps Theressa? Maybe that slutty waitress Ryan banged when he was visiting his mom. Oh, no, it's just Ryan's dad, Frankules.

Frankules listens to Taylor complain to him (blame him) about Ryan's icy demeanor. He just can't love. Cut the guy some slack Taylor. Frankules admits that he's the same way, which is why he used to drink a lot and beat the family. Now that he's off the sauce he can barely feel anything. Which is sad. Alcoholics are a lot more lovable. Frankules also expresses guilt over how he left things with Ryan last time (fake cancer, etc.), and would like to see Ryan one last time to make things right. Taylor, not one to leave well enough alone, concocts one of her schemes to get the erstwhile father-son talking again. It's almost a good thing this show is signing off: I almost just described Taylor's scheme as "zany."

Next up, it's flashback time. The flashbacks belong to Kirsten, who is remembering a fight she had with an old lover (obviously Jimbo Cooper). I don't know why this is happening, but I can only assume it's to give the lovely and increasingly diminishing Kirsten something to do.

At Julie's, she trying in the most delicate way possible to get the hell away from the rich, but painfully handsy Bullitt. It doesn't help that he has vomit inducing plans for the town of them in a Four Seasons Suite that I can only imagine involves Julie and Bullit's pistol. Julie is completely turned off, until she sees how sweet Bullitt is with Kaitlyn. Okay, she's still turned off, but now she's at least conflicted about it.

Walking the mall, Summer and Seth decide to have a little Valentine's Day psychic reading. The psychic nails Seth's reading: Going to Rhode Island for school, loves Death Cab, will only ever have sex with one woman. However, her reading for Summer is a little more cryptic. After being warned against falling objects, Summer is told that she will soon be in the news with Justin Timberlake (who isn't?) and going to meet the love of her life, who will be named... GEORGE! Summer chalks this up to hogwash and hooey, but just then one of the little minions (oh how I've missed you) drops a skateboard from up above. All together: Dum Dum Dummmmm!
