When the three of them pulled up to Jimmy's apartment, Julie and
Caitlin were already there. "Wait here until I call you in," Ryan said. He
looked at Sim and had to smile. They took him to a store to get new
clothes, and now he looked more like Alec than before.
Ryan went into the house and saw the four of them sitting there. When they saw Ryan, they all looked at him. "What's going on?" Julie asked. "Jimmy, Julie. Do you know a kid named Sim?" "No. That name doesn't ring a bell," Jimmy said. "Seth! Come in here. When you see the kid, tell me if he looks familiar." Ryan looked at the door. Seth came in, followed by Sim. The Coopers gasped. "Oh my God! Simelton!" Julie said. "Call me Sim please. I would appreciate it, aunt Julie." Jimmy went over to him and gave him a hug. "Who is this?" Marissa and Caitlin asked. "This is your cousin, Sim." Julie looked at Ryan. "How did you know who he was?" Julie asked. Ryan looked down at the floor. "He was Alec's brother. Alec was my tutor. I saw him on the street and he looked exactly like Alec and I knew it was him." "I never thought I looked so much like my brother." Sim asked. Ryan bent down to meet his height. "You don't have to bring him up after what he did to you. We don't have to talk about him." Ryan was calm about this. "Look. I have to go. I have to go meet my tutor. She'll be there in a little while. You guys decide what to do with him. Come on Seth." Ryan said. Marissa came over to him, and kissed him. "I love you," she said. "I love you too," he replied.
When he got home, he told Sandy and Kirsten everything. "Wow. What a day, and you haven't even met your tutor yet," Sandy replied. They talked for a little while, when the doorbell rang. Ryan answered it. "Oh my God." Ryan saw someone he thought he would never see again. Ryan was looking at his stepsister Erika Atwood. "You're alive? Oh my God..." Ryan hugged her and started crying. Ryan Atwood. Crying. She hugged him back and she started crying. He finally got to see the only person he ever loved again.
When he let go and stopped crying, he called to Kirsten and Sandy and told them he was going in the pool house.

A.J. and Dawn were fighting again. It was worse than anything they've ever seen. There was hitting, language, weapons and threats. Trey was in juvy, and Ryan and Erika were hiding in a closet. Ryan was 14 and Erika was 10. While in the closet, Ryan and Erika were talking. "Alec and Sim's aunt and uncle live in a place called Newport Beach. Sim went there before. He said it was wonderful. It was the most perfect neighborhood ever. When your 18 years old, maybe you can take me there and we can live there." Erika said. "Don't be such a jackass. We could never afford to live there." Ryan said. Erika doubted him though. She thought that she could make enough money to live there. No matter what.
"Have you been living here all this time?" Ryan asked. "Yeah. I told you I would raise enough money to live here. Also, I came looking for my parents. I found them, and I know where they live. Ryan, I asked to be your tutor and I did it for a reason. My parents, are the Cohens." Ryan looked at her in shock. His guardians were his stepsister's parents.
