Ryan, sitting at home alone on the kitchen bench, pondering the thought of Marissa being stuck in a house with Oliver and how exactly authentic his suicide attempt was.
Staring at the clock, 1 a.m.
Ryan falls into a deep sleep leaning on the bench... then waking up to the sound of a car horn outside.
"Come on dude, what happened, leaving us all at Palm Springs" Seth burst to the door. "I mean you Marissa, Oliver just suddenly not there and leaving me and Ana to cope with the, the, aah, Summer and Luke, come on man."
"Yeah sorry Seth we had a little emergency back here" Ryan solemnly said.
"Oh sorry dude, what happened? Oliver and Marissa gone already?" Seth said not having a care in the world.
"Yeah they are, their both at Oliver's" Ryan mumbled.
"Oh, ok, that cannot be good, oh hey Dad" Seth walking away.
"I got to go" Ryan yelled through the door.
As Ryan approached his car, turning off the alarm and getting ready to take off, Summer opens the door and sits in the passenger seat. "Let's drive" she tells him.
"Summer, what are you doing? I'm going to figure this whole thing out with Oliver and Marissa, you can't come" Ryan tells Summer forcefully.
"Oh yes I can and I am so I suggest you step on it. Plus I, I, I can't bear to watch Seth and Ana slobber over each other about television, comic books and food." Summer complained.
"Oh this is what this is about?" Ryan said as he stepped on the clutch and began to pull out of the driveway.
As Summer blabbed the whole way about how glad she was she didn't have Seth Cohen as a boyfriend and how unfortunate Ana was, Ryan pulled into Olivers driveway. "Wait here Summer" Ryan instructed.
As Ryan realized the door was unlocked, he pushed through and walked towards the bedroom door which was slightly unhinged.
Ryan stared, startled looking into the room, as Summer walked and looked over his shoulder. "Ryan I'm so sorry" she said. Marissa and Oliver looked up from on the bed where they were kissing. "Ryan" Marissa whispered.
Ryan grabbed Summer as he pulled her into the car and began to reverse out onto the street, Marissa running close behind.
