User Reviews

Everything is about last year... The Trojan Hourse.

Spring has flung in Newport where Marissa recruits Ryan to help her with Harbor School's Pep Rally Bonfire. Alex accepts that she and Marissa are from two different lives and knows she is fighting a lost cause. Seth is stuck and misses last year's good times while Summer disagrees and tells him it's time to move on. Meanwhile, Julie still doesn't know what she is gonna do about her blackmailer and seeks some advice from Sandy. Kirsten wants Carter to stick with the magazine despite his reservations.

Ryan and Marissa build a Trojan Hourse for the Pipe Rally, I think that's really impressive.

Alex is such a bad ass! She was ready to kick Ryan in the butt! Also, conversations between Julie and and Ryan are getting funnier and sweeter (isn't that weirder then weird material?). It seems that Julie accepts all of Marissa's attitudes, just that it takes a while for her to understand her daughter. At least that's a step forward for Julie, because Marissa doesn't even bother to understand her mother.

Sandy is helping Julie with her porn movie. Summer and Seth argue between the past the future, while Marissa and Ryan are the subjects.
