Quotes:

Julie: I don't think it's too much to ask to know what's going on under my roof.
Marissa: Oh. You want to know what's going on with me? I am going to tell you the truth. No screaming, no crying, just the truth.
Julie: You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that.
Marissa: Hold that thought. Alex is my girlfriend.
Julie: I know, and I am so happy that you have made a new friend. Although, I hope you keep seeing Summer...
Marissa: No, Mom, not my friend who's a girl. My girlfriend.
[thunder rumbles in the distance as Julie looks shocked]
Marissa: Yeah.

It's a rainy day in Newport where Lindsay decides to take the DNA test and makes a difficult choice regarding her life with Caleb while Ryan helps her through it. Sandy still wants to help Rebecca with her case and tries to convince her not to run again. Kirsten is still upset and wishes her marriage would go back to normal and for Rebecca's case to be over with. Meanwhile, Seth thinks he's lost Summer forever until Summer is unable to hide from her feelings once and for all. Marissa moves out of the Cooper-Nichol mansion and moves in with Alex after she tells her mother about Alex being her girlfriend.

Ryan has a shock when he watches outside the pool house, Seth has the same "WTF?" look as Ryan. None of them actually wants to go out in the rain, so they talk on the phone.

Seth is complaining about money, like how to make them to buy the "Summer Breeze" back. Why doesn't he asks his parents for money, they have plenty enough to let his son buy what he wants.

That Rebecca is such a sl*t! How can she do that to Sandy and pretend she cares about him? She doesn't, because he clearly loves Kirsten more then anything. He's ready to walk home for her! :)) The scene when Kirsten under an umbrella was waiting for Sandy at the bus station was really cute! Seth's parents are really putting themselves on the map for parents every kid would want! The Spider-Man kiss between Seth and Summer was the highlight of the season! Maybe the entire show! This is by far one of the best episodes of the entire show!
