Loves complicated, sometimes it makes no sense.
9 March 2008 | by (Romania) – See all my reviews

Ryan and Marissa begin their life together as "friends", but both discover that it might be harder to do than to say. Theresa drops into Newport for work, and another visit. Julie and Luke realize the meaning of "booty calls", and Seth and Summer make a declaration.

Obviously, the sweetest scene was the one in which Seth declares in front of the hole school his affection for Summer. Summer is not really ashamed of being with him in public, she's just scared of getting dumped. Franlky, I can relate to her.

I don't understand why Ryan kissed Teressa, when his chemistry with Marissa is undeniable.
