Quotes:

Summer: The break-up is off. That's right, I broke up with you, and technically it's within my power to technically un-break us up.
Seth Cohen: You can do that?
Summer: Technically, I just did. So unless you can explain to my satisfaction what your deal is and why you suddenly don't want to be together next year, we're back on. Technically, efficiently, completely.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Ryan decides to go and invite his mother to his graduation party. Taylor and Summer work together to try and find out what Seth is hiding, but Summer ends up getting hurt. Marissa realizes she is in bad company after she finds out how low Volchok's friends can go. Sandy is able to fix his work problems with Matt but while doing so he hurts Kirsten.

Ryan is a part of the Cohens for so long now, they even give him money to fly instead of drive or something, they give him money to stay to a good hotel or motel whatever that is. He has his own cell phone, well, he's going to private school... And with Ryan's attitude and one-night-stands he totally sounds like a spoiled rich brat. Yet, he's not, or at least nobody thinks so. I forgot to say, for a while now, Ryan wears expensive clothes.

Seth brakes up with Summer to let her pursue his dream and her future. Whereas Seth believes it's for the best, he deeply regrets his decision, while Summer is lovesick.
