Trivia:

Continuing with the frequent self-referential moments, Seth says there is a reality series called "Sherman Oaks: The Real Valley". "The Valley" is an oft mentioned night-time soap much like "The O.C." existing within the world of the show. In real-life, MTV created a reality-series called "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County."

Quotes:

Seth: They're showing a marathon of 'Sherman Oaks: The Real Valley's.
Ryan Atwood: What's that?
Seth: Hm, apparently 'The Valley' has got its own reality show knock-off. And, you know, why watch the angst of fictional characters when you can watch real people in contrived situations?

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

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!
