[male narrator]
Previously on "The OC.."

- You gotta have a plan.
- Who are you?

[Ryan]
I stole a car,
then my mom threw me out.

- So Mr. Cohen took me in.
- What is it about this kid?

- I was this kid.
- Ryan's gonna stay with us now.

- That's awesome.
- Wanna do something tonight?

You're not, like, into him,
are you?

What are you doing
with my girlfriend?

Do you know what girls
find sexy? Confidence.

May I remind you of a little
something that I like to call

The-time-that-you-kissed-me

by-the-pool-at-my-grandfather's birthday-party.

What are you talking about?

I never should have broken up
with you in the first place.

I don't know what I should do.

Why don't you just let me know
when you made up your mind?

[Sandy]
Jimmy's been siphoning money

out of his clients' accounts
to cover his own debts.

Daddy!

Put your personal feelings
for this guy aside.

He's one of my oldest friends.

This whole community thinks
you're a criminal, Jimmy.

- You're getting a divorce.
- I'm so sorry, kiddo.

- What are you doing?
- I didn't know. I'm sorry.

I have no one.

- She's gone.
- What?

[Summer]
Swallowed my stepmom's
painkillers.

[Ryan]
Wake up.

Wake up.

I have three sesame
and one plain.

I'm okay.

Look, we're not gonna hear
from the hospital for a while.

Why don't you guys
get showered and dressed?

And you can't be late for your
meeting with the dean.

I'll take them to school.

You can't be late
for your first day.

Well, if we're not gonna eat,
let's-let's just, let's just go.

[telephone rings]

Oh, hey, hey.

She, uh, she just
fell back asleep.

But she was awake and aware.

Thanks for calling the hospital.
And finding her.

If they hadn't airlifted her
out, she, uh..

When can she go home?

Uh, they said in a,
in a day or so.

They wanna keep her
under observation.

That's hospital policy.

So, I guess there's no need
to worry, right?

I mean, a teenage girl palms
a dozen painkillers

and washes it down with tequila.

It's perfectly normal, right?

What are you doing here?

I called them.

What Marissa needs right now
is to be with her family.

No visitors.

Well, let's go. We should go.

- If you need anything..
- Thanks.

Don't take it personally.

Julie's just been through
every parents' nightmare.

- I'm sure she'll apologize.
- You are?

It's Julie Cooper
we're talking about.

Excuse me. Ryan,
can I talk to you for a sec?

I don't know what
happened in Mexico

but here's what I do know.

Since you showed up,
Marissa's been a wreck.

Comes home crying, doesn't
wanna go to her own cotillion.

Having problems
with her boyfriend.

And now you can add another
shining accomplishment

to your list of achievements.

In addition to stealing cars,
burning down houses

and befriending
would-be assassins

you've almost killed
my daughter.

You can blame me all you want..

...but I would never do
anything to hurt Marissa.

Well, you're not going
to get the chance

because you're never
going to see her again.

You even try,
and I'll make sure

you're thrown back in juvie,
where you belong.

[theme song]

♪ California here we come ♪

♪ Right back where
we started from ♪

♪ California ♪♪ California ♪

♪ Here we come ♪

♪ Ooh ♪♪

[Seth]
What, so wait,
now I don't get it.

Luke's the one that she should
be blaming, not you.

- She doesn't know that.
- So why don't you tell her?

[Ryan]
'I'm just glad Marissa's okay.'

Alright, guys, I'm gonna check
in with the events committee

so I'll catch up with you
at the dean's office.

Alright.

Ryan, don't be nervous.
You're gonna do great.

- This is school?
- Mm-hmm.

Ah, registration week, Ryan.

It's my favorite time of the
year because our fellow students

aren't around to ruin it.

Except them.

You guys have tennis courts
and a swimming pool?

I'm guessing you didn't
at your old school.

Well, we had a basketball hoop.

- Oh, hi, guys.
- Hi. Dr. Talley, Ms. Kimrey.

How are you guys doing?

Okay.

My mom's more popular than me.

That's a little bit pathetic,
I realize.

Oh, hey, uh, after your meeting,
we gotta get your photo taken

for your school ID.

- Another mug shot?
- If you must be so cynical.

Oh, yeah.
That one's a keeper.

So when do we
do the retina scan?

- Friday.
- I was joking.

So was I. Good thing we didn't
hire you for your quick wit.

Well, God doesn't give
with two hands.

Come on. Time for you
to meet your team.

Okay, you'll be assigned
to a researcher, two paralegals

and a file clerk to do
all the heavy lifting for you.

Speaking of which, let me show
you our state of the art gym.

- Oh, you guys have a gym?
- You didn't at the PD's office?

Oh, we had a basketball hoop.

Everything's gonna be fine.

It's just..

...at Chino Hills,
you sort of showed up.

No essays, interviews, tests.

Ryan, the Harbor School
is one of the best

private prep schools
in the country.

If you graduate from here,
you can get into any college

in the UC system.
Maybe even an Ivy League.

I don't really think I'm
an Ivy League kind of guy.

After a year or two here,
you will be.

- College, huh?
- Yeah.

What did you get?

AP, history, English

calculus and physics
and French four.

Good thing I don't have a life.
What is wrong? Are you nervous?

Seth, would you please tell Ryan
that Dr. Kim is very nice.

Oh, yeah. She is sweet.

- Kirsten, how are you?
- Hi, nice to see you.

Good to see you. Seth,
always interesting to see you.

And you must be Ryan.

Why don't we step
into my office?

Well, this doesn't suck.

That eloquence will serve
you nicely on the stand.

Like you guys ever
actually go to trial.

You're one of us now, Sandy.

Better start wrapping
your head around it.

So, is your family all excited
about your first day?

My wife loves being married
to a corporate sellout.

Right, right, right, right.
Wrapping my head around it.

- You gotta be kidding me.
- Yeah.

I figured you'd wanna
dive right in.

Chemical peel gone awry.
Fascinating.

Bad Botox injection.

- Noise complaint on a yacht.
- Scintillating?

In the purest sense of the word.

- Don't be a snob.
- Just defend them. Right.

Rich people need lawyers too.

Weak grades, truancy.

Notation regarding
some criminal activity.

It was a misdemeanor. Probation.

Nonetheless, not exactly
Harbor School material.

Dr. Kim,
Ryan's had a lot to overcome

but Sandy and I feel that
in the right environment

he could really excel.

There's no doubt that Mr. Atwood
has extraordinary promise.

I'm just concerned
that he hasn't had

adequate preparation for
the rigors of our curriculum.

Or are you concerned about
the pressure from parents

who don't want Ryan here?

That's definitely
a consideration

but not a decisive one.

'Kirsten,
you know as well as I do'

'how bright and motivated
our students are.'

Those that aren't bred for USC
go off to Harvard and Yale.

I just think a place like
Newport Union

might be a better fit for a
student with Ryan's background.

My background?

I can't change where I'm from

but I can change
where I'm going.

Ryan, you understand
that if you did fail

you would lose a year,
not to mention self-confidence.

With all due respect,
Dr. Kim, if you think

not letting me in is gonna
inspire self-confidence..

Give me a shot.

You got great test scores.

'I definitely responded
to your personal essay.'

Your grades are borderline,
but acceptable.

If you could pass a placement
exam, it's not an aptitude test

it measures your preparedness,
what you've learned

not how bright you are.

Just tell me where and when.

Summer, hey.

Hi.

[sighs]

It is so weird
being in school right now.

Surrounded by all these people
who have, like, no idea.

I know.
Have you talked to Marissa?

I spoke to her mom. You?

Uh, we went by this morning,
but she was sleeping.

I think she's gonna be okay,
though.

I still can't believe it,
you know?

- I thought she was dead.
- Me too.

Well, hey,
maybe when she's feeling better

we'll, uh, take her out
and try and cheer her up.

Take her to a movie
or Six Flags, I don't know.

Yeah. I guess.

Maybe before then, if you want

I don't know, you and me could
go see a movie or something.

- 'Hey, Summer.'
- 'Hey, Summer, how's it going?'

Hey, you guys.

Look, Cohen,
this year's all messed up.

I mean,
Marissa's in the hospital

I'll never speak to Luke
or Holly again.

- You and I--
- No, I get it, it's fine.

We're back in school now,
old rules apply.

Sorry.

Strong sedative, huh?

Yeah, she needs to sleep.

And we need to talk.

Look, uh, Jimmy

you and I, we need to
present a united front.

It's hard enough,
this forcing us

to be in the same room together.

Thanks, Jules, you got
a great, great bedside manner.

Calling the Cohens this morning
was completely inappropriate.

- You know I don't like Brian.
- Ryan.

[Julie]
'I don't want him
anywhere near Marissa.'

[Jimmy]
'Marissa said
it was an accident, okay?'

'There's, there's
no one to blame.'

That's a convenient
position to take considering

you're the one who let her go
to Tijuana in the first place.

Oh, so, uh, now it's my fault.

You're the one who destroyed
this family, Jimmy.

You lied to us.

You stole money from
your clients and your friends.

Why do you think
she took all those pills?

You cannot honestly
believe that.

I left her in your care for one
weekend, and look what happened.

Which is why I'm asking
the judge for sole custody.

Julie, come on. You can't.

Getting the girls away
from you is my only chance

to give them back some
semblance of a life.

And if you fight me on this,
I'll take you to court

and you'll be lucky if you even
get supervised visitation.

Yeah, well, you're gonna
have to because I am not

giving up my kids.

You may not have a choice.

'I'm going back to check on
Kaitlin and the sitter.'

'You should get cleaned up.
You're a wreck.'

[sighs]

[Seth]
'It's good thing I never
throw anything away.'

The questions will be different,
but you get the idea.

- Yeah, but I'm gonna fail.
- Hey, no.

You're not gonna fail, okay?
You have to get in.

I will not spend another year
at that school alone, okay?

Please, thank you, study.

Especially though,
if all it takes

is a couple
of cheerleaders walking by

and suddenly it's like,
hmm, Summer and I

we just, we just didn't happen.

I'm sorry. You study.

Here's the thing, Ryan.
We connected. Right?

We connected,
and it was awesome.

Especially the part
where she kissed me.

- I do believe I might have--
- Seth.

I have two hours
until I take this test.

So unless you plan on attending
Newport Union High with--

Right, I got it.
Less talking more studying.

[telephone rings]

Don't move. I'm gonna get that.
And you keep studying.

Hello?

Hey, Marissa. Hi.

Um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry. Sure.

Hi.

Okay. Alright.
Uh, okay, I'll be there. Bye.

She's upset.
Something with her parents.

And her mom's going home
for a little while, so..

- What about the test?
- I'll be there.

I'll just have to do the best
that I can.

Well, hey, not to bum you up

but what
if that's not good enough?

Well, then Dr. Kim was right.

I'm not Harbor School material.

- Hi.
- Hi.

These are for you. Uh, it's all
they had left at the gift shop.

I'll just, uh..

I'm sorry.

I was so dumb.

- What I did, I wasn't--
- Hey, hey, hey, come on.

I didn't want to kill myself.

I didn't.

I just wanted to...escape.

I know.

[Julie]
'Excuse me, nurse, when you
get a chance, lunch, please.'

You-you should..

Oh, sweetie, you're awake.

How are you feeling?
Your sister sends her love.

My throat hurts.

That's because they had
to pump your stomach, honey.

Where did that thing come from?

Uh, I...I don't know.

It's from him.
He came here, didn't he?

After I told him not to. After
everything he's done to you.

He didn't.

- It wasn't his fault.
- Honey, you keep saying that.

But before he got here,
you were happy.

You think I was happy?

Well, if you weren't,
you never told me about it.

- I tried, but you--
- I need to talk to the nurse.

The security in here
is appalling.

I'm sorry about that.
You know, about her.

That's okay. I should go
and take this test.

'But I'll be back
first chance I get.'

I don't know. With my mom..

I'm not afraid of your mom.

Well, I am.

Did you ask Ryan
what he wants for lunch?

He doesn't wanna eat.
He's on a diet.

Why is he on a diet?

- Why is he on a diet?
- 'Well, I'm gonna ask him.'

Because I wanna see
how he's doing--

Mom, mom, mom, uh, he's in
a state of deep, deep

Zen-like concentration
right now, okay?

Well, he still needs to eat.

He's naked, alright? He's naked.

He studies in the nude.
It's a Chino thing. Okay?

And I think that if you were
to walk in on him naked

and dad was to find out, I think
suspicions might be raised.

A house divided will not stand.

[doorbell rings]

You and I still
need to talk about

your little surprise trip
to Tijuana.

Okay. I can't wait.

Jimmy, hi. Is Marissa okay?

Yeah, she's, she's doing better,
thanks.

Uh, it's Julie
who's giving me the problem.

Is Sandy coming home for lunch?

Uh, no, he-he just started a new
job today. Why? What's going on?

Uh, she's suing me
for sole custody.

Maybe even supervised visits.

- Why would she do that?
- Well, my question is, can she?

I just need to know what kind
of shot I have at joint custody

given what
I've put my family through.

'I just wanna know
what kind of case she has.'

Come on in.
I'll get Sandy's new number.

I'll-I'll just, uh,
I'll-I'll wait out here.

I mean, you know.

Jimmy, we have been friends
for too long

to let something like this..

- It was just a..
- It was stupid.

It was, it was, it was
monumentally stupid.

I'm so, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I mean, it's-it's not okay,
but it's-it's okay.

I mean, you and Sandy are
the only friends I have left.

'And I definitely
don't wanna lose you.'

Won't.

So are you coming in or what?

[Jimmy]
'Hi, you've reached
Jimmy Cooper.'

'I'm not in right now,
but please leave a message'

'and I'll get back..'

Security said they'd do what
they can, but I don't know.

You know, this is exactly
why I thought

San Diego would be good for you.

San Diego?

Dr. Burke has a facility there.

- Who's Dr. Burke?
- Oh, well, uh..

She's a psychiatrist.
Highly recommended.

She runs an institute for young
women who are troubled.

You're sending me
to a mental institution.

It's a recovery center.

Oh, honey, I know
you don't understand

but I would rather
have you hate me now

than risk losing you again.

Does dad know about this?

Well, I think some time
away from your father

would be good for you too.

Well, what if I don't wanna go?

That's for Dr. Burke to decide.

She'll be here after lunch
to evaluate you.

Please, honey, just talk to her.
Let her help you.

And then we can get you
out of here

and you can start to get better.

Yeah. If it's okay,
I just need to use the bathroom.

Of course.

[knock on door]

Not now, mom.
I'm studying naked.

- 'Ew.'
- Summer?

- Come in.
- 'No way.'

- I'm not naked.
- No, no, no!

Okay. I don't get it. What kind
of family do you have, Cohen?

The kind where mothers
and sons wear clothes.

Always. Even in the shower.

[chuckles]

What is this?

Oh, I don't know.
I've never seen it before.

- What's his name?
- I don't know.

Captain Oats.
What are you doing here?

Coop just called.
She's freaking out.

Her mom's threatening to ship
her off to the insane asylum.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah. I'm serious.

I've gotta do something, Cohen.
I need to get radical.

- I need Ryan.
- Well, you can't have him.

He's taking a placement exam.
What's wrong with me though?

- Am I not radical enough?
- That depends.

Are you ready
to take on Julie Cooper?

- We need Ryan.
- Yeah.

- That's my bed.
- Okay.

- Just wanted you to know.
- Uh-huh.

- I have a feeling you'll be--
- Okay, let's go.

[Sandy]
'No, it's a very fair offer,
given the merits of the case.'

Okay. Well, think it over.
Goodbye.

My wife does that thing
with her hands

when she's, she's
really pissed off at me.

Your wife and I
have a lot in common.

You've been here half a day,
and you've booked court dates

for five of the seven cases
you were assigned.

Do I win the free
set of steak knives?

Sandy, this isn't how
they do things around here.

And I can keep this off
the partners radar for now.

- But you gotta understand--
- Understand what?

I'm going to court,
I'm taking them on.

I'm bringing them down,
especially this bastard

who won't let his neighbor grow
his hedges over his own fence.

Look, you know how much
time and energy

goes into trying one of these.

If you settled, you could
handle twice as many cases.

And we're
in a volume business here.

Like Cosco.

Look, you know, I-I thought the
whole reason you brought me here

is 'cause you
wanted a trial attorney

you know, who's committed
and passionate and blah, blah--

Yes, and when one of these
cases actually deserves

to go before a jury,
the courtroom is all yours.

But in the meantime,
I need you to pick up the phone

and passionately negotiate
some settlements.

Come on. I put my ass on
the line to get you this gig.

Please. Do it for me.

[no audio]

- Hey.
- What are you guys doing here?

Dr. Kim's gonna be back
any minute.

Yeah, I know this
isn't the best time, but we

uh, Marissa needs you
right now or us. Uh, just--

Her mom's gone psycho.
She's having her committed.

- What is going on in here?
- Hi, Dr. Kim.

This is not what it looks like,
but there's kinda an emergency.

[Summer]
'Yeah, we just need to borrow
Ryan for a little while.'

- 'Ryan is not going anywhere.'
- 'Okay.'

- 'You two, out! Out! Now.'
- 'You don't understand.'

- 'It's kind of an emergency--'
- 'Now! Goodbye!'

- Goodbye.
- Okay. We'll be out there.

Actually, I gotta go too.

- Have you finished the test?
- No. But I--

Ryan, if this is too difficult,
tell me.

If the Cohens are pressuring you
to go to this school--

It's not too difficult, and
they're not. I wanna be here.

Then prove it, sit down,
finish the test.

I can't.

Ryan, if this is the level
of commitment you plan to bring

to your studies here
at the Harbor School.

Dr. Kim,
I really don't have time

to argue with you right now.

There is no argument.

You walk away from this test

you walk away from this school.

You're probably right.

It wouldn't have
worked out anyway.

'Sorry for wasting your time.'

Let's go.

[Dr. Burke]
'So your mother tells me
you struggled with anorexia'

'in the ninth grade.'

My mom's convinced
it was anorexia.

It was just tennis season,
I was really stressed.

That's all.

And in tenth grade,
you were caught shoplifting?

It was just a lighter
and a pack of cigarettes.

Do you still smoke?

Not really.

'Drink?'

Would you say you drink a lot?

I guess. I mean, what's a lot?

Have you ever had so much
to drink that you blacked out?

Tell me about this past year,
your dad's legal troubles

bankruptcy,
your parents separating.

Home's probably the last place
you wanna be, right?

Your mom mentioned a boyfriend.
Luke?

- He's not my boyfriend anymore.
- 'Really?'

'You wanna tell me
what happened?'

Anything I say,
you're just gonna use against me

to prove to my mom
that I'm troubled, right?

I'm not here to judge.

I'm here to listen
and try to help.

You're here because my mom
would rather have me shipped off

to a mental institution
than have to deal

with what's really going on.

I'm here because
accidentally or not

you nearly killed yourself.

And you wanna tell me
what's actually going on

with you and your mom?

How much time do you have?

This isn't good, man. Summer
should've been here by now.

She better be here soon.

What if something happened?
Right?

I mean, Marissa's dad
can't even get her out of here.

How are we supposed
to be able to?

Not by waiting for Summer.

Hi.
We're here for Marissa Cooper.

Uh, it's okay, Denise.

They're with me.

Good Lord.

What? I told you
I was a candy striper.

- I thought you were kidding.
- It's for charity.

- All the girls do it.
- I should be hospitalized more.

Well, if you need any help.

Okay, guys, can you get us
in the psych ward or not?

- Just try to keep up with me.
- Cool.

Seth, you're on lookout.

Hi, Gloria,
I know it's my day off

but I just cannot get enough
of sick people.

These guys are helping
with the sponge baths.

Hmm, dibs on that guy.

I'm not saying that we need
to keep her on suicide watch

but there are definitely some
underlying issues

that she hasn't
been dealing with.

But you can help her?

I can recommend
further treatment.

Psychodynamic therapy,
group work.

- At the institute?
- At the institute.

Or here in Newport. I see
patients or I can refer you.

No. No. I want her
to get out of Newport.

It's too chaotic for her
here right now.

She can't leave now. She's got
school, she's got her friends.

I think uprooting her now
will do more harm than good.

She almost died, Jimmy.
How much more harm can she do?

Alright, you decide. I need to
check in with the institute.

- Excuse me.
- 'Thanks.'

- She's going to the institute.
- She's not going anywhere.

- Don't make me call my lawyer.
- Go ahead. I'll call mine.

I'm gonna go talk to Marissa.

Excuse me, doctor, Marissa's
father and I have discussed it.

I've got a bag for her
in the car

and I can drive her down
myself tonight.

I'll make the arrangements.

Thank you.

I know this may be
difficult for you to hear

but Dr. Burke and I think
it's for the best.

Well, what about dad?

Well, he just wants what's best
for you too, sweetie.

Now, Dr. Burke and I
have to finish some paperwork.

So you should get dressed, okay?

I'm glad you're taking
this so well, Marissa.

Yeah, well, if it's
for the best, right?

I love you, honey.

Okay. Get dressed. I'll be back.

Alright.

- How'd I do?
- Almost had me convinced. Here.

It's, uh, Summer's idea.
It's for cover.

Sure. Summer's idea.

Hey, no peeking.

Hey, Madame Bovary.

[whistles]

Flaubert could really
turn a phrase.

I guess.
It was kind of a bummer.

I mean, I know Emma got her
heart, like, totally broken.

Why'd she have to
go and eat arsenic?

- You've read Madame Bovary?
- Five times.

It's Tom Shayle's favorite book.

Ooh, I should go check on him.

He's two floors down.
He's, like, incontinent.

You're a strange
and mysterious woman, Summer.

The most important thing is that
we make sure Marissa feels safe.

[Summer gasps]

Okay wait, no, I don't know what
that means, Cohen.

- I wasn't in Panama.
- It means that you should--

Okay, just go,
and I'll run interference.

Yeah, that's what I said. 10-4.

- Hi, Mrs. Cooper. How are you?
- Hey, Summer.

- You here to see Mariss?
- Uh, yeah.

Well, I was just
volunteering today

I thought I'd stop by.
How is she?

Well, she's going
to be fine eventually.

- Are you her doctor?
- I'm her therapist.

Now, we're on our way to see
her, right now--

Therapist, huh?
Do you have a second?

Because I keep having this dream

and while I'm in the woods
trying to find this restaurant

but I'm totally lost
and so hungry.

See, I have a reservation,
so I can't be late.

Are you following?

You ready?

Yeah.

- Go away.
- I just wanted to see you.

I'm-I'm so sorry
about everything.

Yeah, that's what
you said in Mexico.

- That was a mistake.
- No kidding.

What are you doing
dressed like that?

Hey, your mom and the doctor
are on the move.

You're running away?

Look, Luke, please, I..

Take the stairs.

Are you sure it's okay?
I mean, I don't wanna interrupt.

His office said he was having
Welcome-to-the-firm drinks

with a few of his...associates.

[laughing]
Can I have another one?

'Sure.'

[Kirsten]
'Hey!'

Hey, hey. W-what are you
two doing here?

Uh, when I couldn't reach you
on your cell phone

I called the office.
Jimmy needs some legal advice.

- I'm Kirsten.
- Hi, I'm Rachel.

- Oh, so this is Rachel.
- This is Rachel.

I'm Rachel.

[both laughing]

- 'Hi, Rachel. I'm-I'm Jimmy.'
- Hi.

So are you suing a tequila
company? Doing some research?

Oh, apparently,
we don't sue anybody.

Now, you say that
like it's a bad thing.

Kirsten,
you're lucky to be married

to somebody so hilarious.

I am.

You know what, um, I-I'll just
take care of this myself.

- I'm gonna, I'm-I'm gonna go.
- Jimmy.

Stop by the office
tomorrow morning.

Uh, yeah, no, tomorrow's, uh,
gonna be too late.

Thanks, Kirsten.

I'll see you at home,
when you've finished work.

- It was nice to meet you.
- Yeah.

Hey, dad.

[chuckles]

What, what are you doing here?

I, uh, I checked out.

Does your mother
know about this?

- We're gonna wait in the car.
- Yeah. Yeah. Right.

You ran away?

- I didn't know what else to do.
- Sweetheart.

Mom was getting ready to
drive me down to San Diego.

What?

You, you didn't know.

I should have guessed.

Look, I don't want
to go to San Diego

and I don't wanna live with mom.

- I wanna stay with you.
- Look, I want that too. Okay?

But I, I don't know, I don't
know if, if that's possible.

Your mom is suing me
for sole custody.

And after everything I've done

she kind of has me
over a barrel, kiddo.

Look, if I do even
the slightest thing wrong

I could never see you again.

Okay? And I don't, I don't
ever want to lose you.

[telephone ring]

Hold on.

Um, ju-just give me a sec, okay?

- Yeah.
- Hey. Yeah, hi.

Uh, No. She's, uh, she's here.

Look, I didn't have anything
to do with this, Julie.

Well, you were gonna take her
to San Diego

without telling me about it.

Alright, alright,
I'll-I'll keep her here.

What do you wanna do now, Coop?

I don't know what to do.
I mean, what can I do?

I could hide you into
one of my mom's developments.

- I'm kidding.
- Mm-hmm.

I mean, how is any
of this even possible?

My mom wants to lock me up
in an asylum

while my dad can't even
do anything about it.

Well, we'll figure
something out.

We better hurry.

'Cause she just escaped
from a psych ward

wearing a candy striper outfit.

If they didn't think
she was crazy before, they..

Sorry, Coop.
I'm gonna go get another slice.

As will I.

Well, if you wanna skip town,
I guess I could go with you.

My mom would love that.

Look,
if your mom's doing all this

just to keep me away
from you...I'll stay away.

I don't want that.

So, what are we gonna do?

If I could just
get her to listen.

[instrumental music]

- Hey.
- Back from work?

'I don't understand
why you're so upset.'

I mean, I understand, but it's
nothing. She works at the firm.

She doesn't look old enough
to be served in a bar.

- Let alone a lawyer.
- She's 33.

She graduated Berkeley
four years after you did.

- What's her favorite color?
- Pink.

[sighs]

Oh, Kirsten.

Sandy, I'm not saying

anything's going on.

Good,
because you spent the weekend

painting Jimmy Cooper's house
and I didn't say a word

because I knew
nothing was going on.

- Right?
- Right, of course.

So, what were you two
doing together tonight?

Jimmy's got custody
issues with Julie.

Well, I guess
we're all having issues.

So, what are we gonna do?
I have to work with this woman.

- I trust you.
- Okay.

- I trust you.
- Okay.

[telephone rings]

- Hello.
- Hey, it's Ryan.

Hey. What's going on?

Uh, I'm with Marissa,
and I need your advice.

Uh-huh.

Well, if I've learned
anything today

you don't wanna go to court
with this.

You're gonna want to settle.

[doorbell rings]

- What is going on?
- Come with me.

I don't understand. What does
this have to do with Marissa?

Do you know where she..

Well, no surprise
you're involved in all this.

Where is she?

I don't know.
At a bus station.

- On a tropical island.
- Ryan.

I cannot believe you're
chaperoning this farce.

- Julie, sit down.
- No. I don't want to sit down.

Alright, let's all talk.

Talk about what?
What is there to talk about?

Well, if you ever wanna
see your daughter..

Watch it.

Julie, I.. I know you've
been through a lot

but-but Ryan isn't the problem.

What is that supposed to mean?

You tell me where she is,
and then I am taking her home.

She just ran away
from a hospital--

She ran away from you.

Look, you're from Riverside,
right?

'Well, that's not too far
from where I grew up.'

I am calling the police
in like two seconds--

And I know this place has
everything we never had

'and I know you're afraid
you're gonna lose it all.'

- 'Everything you ever wanted.'
- I'm done.

But what you want
and what your daughter wants

are two different things.

- You don't know what she wants.
- I know what she doesn't want.

'She doesn't want
to go to San Diego.'

And she doesn't
want to live with you.

I don't know what I'm supposed
to say to any of this.

Just say yes.

Oh, honey.

- No, no, you don't mean that.
- Yes, I do.

Look, I know you're
only trying to help, but..

'...you're just making
everything worse.'

You have no idea
how scared I was.

I'm sorry.

But look, I'm not gonna
hurt myself again.

And I'll even still see
a therapist if you want.

But I wanna do it here.

And I wanna live with dad.

I mean, at least for now.

This isn't over, Marissa.

I'll let myself out.

You okay?

So you still think that after
everything that happened today

when we get back to school

you're gonna be able
to ignore me?

- Well, all I can do is try.
- I admire your will.

Hey!

Hey. How'd it go?

- Oh, it's over.
- Yeah?

Somebody should take Marissa
home. To her dad's.

Bye, Summer.

It's just a little thing we do.

Okay. Now, let's talk about that
surprise little trip to Tijuana.

It's pronounced Tijuana.
That's how..

You're so white, mom.

I've never heard you
talk so much.

I like to save it
for when it counts.

Good.

So I heard about what happened
with your test today.

Or what didn't happen.

You're suddenly
not so talkative.

Look, I get it.

Marissa needed help,
you were worried about her.

Believe me, I understand.

I'm worried about you.

I'm okay going to public school.

It'd be a hell of a lot better
than where I went.

Go to Dr. Kim
and explain yourself.

I don't think she wants
to hear from me. Ever again.

Ooh, you're afraid of her.

You, who went toe-to-toe with
Julie Cooper, the dragon lady

you can take Dr. Kim.
Talk to her.

If there's a problem, you'll
have your attorney present.

I got your back.

So, you and Summer seemed
pretty chummy yesterday.

Dad, chummy?

- It's okay, you can tell me.
- No, really, I can't.

If you can't tell your dad,
who can you tell?

Gee, I don't know.
Uh, Ryan, mom.

That tree over there.

You're gonna miss me
when I'm gone.

When are you leaving?

- What's the verdict?
- He passed. He did very well.

Congratulations!
Dude, you're a Pirate.

- You guys are the Pirates?
- Yeah, I know it's a bit minty.

Thank you, Dr. Kim, for giving
Ryan another chance.

Mr. Cohen, I told Ryan that if
he ever pulls a stunt like that

again, he's going to need a much
better lawyer than you

to get him out of it.

Welcome to the Harbor School,
Ryan. I'll be watching you.
