Trivia

Donny keeps calling Luke (Chris Carmack) "Abercrombie & Fitch". This is an inside joke because Carmack's biggest credit before 'The O.C.' was being an Abercrombie & Fitch model. See more »

Goofs

While Marissa and Luke are talking at the Crab Shack on a table, Ryan and Donnie are talking at the bar by the register. When the camera focuses on Marissa and Luke, the spot where Ryan and Donnie are talking, can be seen behind Luke, but there's no sign of Ryan nor Donnie, until the camera focuses again on them.

Shows some great development.

Ryan takes a job at the Crab Shack diner. A co-worker at the diner might mean bad news for the Newport kids. Ryan asks Marissa out on a date. Sandy attempts to help Jimmy sort out his life, and gives him some bad news. Julie reveals a long-held secret to Kirsten. Disaster strikes at another one of Holly's parties.

In this episode Marissa and Ryan finally spend some good quality time together on a date at the Cohen'house. No improvements on the Seth/Summer love plan, but Seth starts to learn how to make friends, besides the ones his father brings home for him. We don't get to see much Summer in this episode, she's only there to comfort Marissa.

Near the ending there was this cute moment, in the scene when Donnie was threatening Luke with the gun, Seth was protecting Summer, but it was shown only for a few seconds.
