User Reviews

The O.C. Orange County, It's where Julie Cooper lives!

Everyone is back home in Newport, and Marissa is recovering. Julie points her finger at Ryan and forbids him from seeing Marissa, who does not appreciate the help. Sandy starts his new job, but finds himself surprised by the case work. Kirsten finds herself surprised by Sandy's new co-worker. Ryan enrolls at his new school, with conditions. Julie gets an intervention, and Jimmy gets a new roommate.

In this episode things don't really evolve. It's not boring, but it's not that important or interesting either. Marissa spends most of the time in the hospital while Seth and Summer go back to school and Ryan gets accepted there.
