So The O.C. is still doing that annoying thing when Ryan and Seth are talking about Taylor and Summer while at the same exact time Taylor and Summer are talking about Ryan and Seth, and splitting back and forth between both convos. I guess it's a little moot to even complain at this point. It's like asking Isaiah Wasington to start calling T.R. Knight, T.R. instead of, you know, that other favorite word of his. It's just not going to happen. Seth is bummed out by Summer's rejection of his proposal, and a wee bit confused as to what the status of their relationship is. Can you even still be dating someone who has refused your engagement proposal? The answer is: No. We learned that on Kate & Allie years ago. Meanwhile, Taylor is starting to get annoyed that Ryan hasn't returned any of her 17 phone calls. I guess Ryan I still a little peeved that Taylor lied to Henri-Michel about Ryan's intellectual prowess. I thought Ryan was one of those "high test scores" kids, who despite being white trash is also wicked smart. Anyway, these kids are all mature enough to hit a keg party without letting any booze touch their lips, but not quite mature enough to pick up the phone to settle things in their respective love lives.

Later that day, Summer tracks down Ryan at El Pavo Guapo (he sure does work a lot), to get to the bottom of their relationship woes. Ryan has taken the General Hospital logic route and decided to ignore Taylor until Henri-Michel heads back to Paris. Summer hates to be the bearer of bad news, but Henri-Michel ain't going anywhere. He's actually renting a house in Newport, and has asked Taylor to move in with him. Sacre Bleu!

Meanwhile, avoiding annihilation from the alien invaders from the evil Decepticons, Seth heads over to Summer's to start smoothing things out. Unfortunately, the only alien he finds is Che. He was channeling Seth's vibes all the way from Providence, and sensing a rift in the time continuum head over to Newport to get Seth back in touch with his inner man animal. Or something. I don't really know; it didn't make too much sense. Damn hippies.

At the yacht club, Taylor is having lunch with Henri-Michel. She's beginning to think that although Henri-Michel is smarmy and she doesn't love him, and ugh, French, that maybe he's the better choice in the Ryan vs. Henri-Michel race. She doesn't really believe it of course, because, like I said, Henri-Michel is French. However, he is able to tell Taylor that she loves him, and that is something that melts Taylor's hoo-hah.

At Harbor, Kaitlyn is positively beaming over both her first true A and her nerd-tastic boyfriend (and pop singing sensation!) Will. The moment is all but ruined by band nerdette, Lucy, who comes over to congratulate Will on being totally awesome, and giving Kaitlyn some nice death stares. She also invites Will to a bake sale on Friday to support the band on their quest for world domination.

Julie is still in the dog house with Kirsten, so she keeps calling her to try and apologize, but Kirsten and the veins in her face aren't having any of it. Now I love Kirsten, but doesn't anyone else find her a little scary when not done up/lit properly? There's something vaguely Jack Skellington about her.
