The next morning Ryan was in the kitchen eating breakfast.

Sandy: "Hey, so how was the car?"

Ryan: "It was great; I still think it is too much,"

Sandy: "Well it's not too much, your part of this family... so what are you and Seth up to today?"

Ryan gave a cautious look.

Ryan: "Well actually, I kinda told Marissa I would go to her mom's dinner tonight,"

Sandy gave a worried look.

Sandy: "And does Julie actually know you are coming to this dinner..." (Looking at Ryan he already knew the answer) "Look Ryan I don't think you should go, you're just going to have more problems with her, it's best to just let her be,"

Ryan: "Ya, but I already told Marissa I would go,"

Sandy: "Fine, I guess I can't stop you anyways... but be careful kiddo,"

Seth sheepishly walked in.

Seth: "Ugh I'm so tired..."

Sandy: "Good morning to you too son,"

Seth: "Ryan let's go somewhere,"

Ryan: "What? You just got up,"

Seth: "Don't care, we have a car now let's go somewhere,"

Ryan: "Ok, I'll give Marissa a call, get ready,"

Ryan walks into the pull house and whips out his phone.

Ryan: "Hi, so you're coming tonight? Good, thanks for all your help... bye,"

Hanging up the phone.

Ryan: "Now to call Marissa,"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marissa had left the house to go hang out with Ryan and the crew, leaving Jimmy and Hailey some time alone.

Jimmy: "We havn't had any time alone in a while," (Kissing her)

Hailey: "You're telling me!" (Jumping on him)

They started playing around.

Jimmy: "We'll have more room in my new house," (Still kissing her)

Hailey: "Oh ya, more room for what?" (Giving him a sly smile)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

At the pier

Seth: "I can't believe you're going into the demon's lair,"

Summer: "Seth! You're talking about Marissa's mom,"

Marissa: "Don't worry Sum, I think of her in pretty much the same way... but Seth is right Ryan, I'm surprised you agreed to come so easily,"

Ryan: "Well I just thought you needed your boyfriend there," (Kissing her)

Seth: "Wow you having dinner with Julie Nichol... haven't been this excited since you had that project with Luke,"

Summer: "Ya and we all know how well that turned out..."

Seth: "Hey, maybe you'll find out Caleb's gay or something," (Laughing at his own joke)

Ryan gives him the traditional "Shut up" look.

Seth: "Right... so Summer what are we gonna do while these two lovebirds are dueling

with the demon?"

Summer: "First you're going to stop talking like that, second I thought we could go shopping for school!"

Seth: "How bout... no, shopping's really not my thing,"

Summer grabbing his hand.

Summer: "Come on it will be fun," (Slowly kissing him) "Maybe it will persuade me to get rid of the no sex ban sooner,"

Seth: "We should go shopping!" (With a huge smile on his face)

Ryan and Marissa just laughed and then both left separately to get ready for the dreaded dinner.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hailey and Jimmy coming out of the bedroom, both smiling.

Hailey: "So have you told Marissa the news yet?"

Jimmy: "Well I told her I was thinking about a house but tonight I think I'll tell her how we already have one!"

Hailey: "Yes we do," (Kissing him) "How do you think she'll react with me moving in,"

Jimmy: "Oh come on she won't mind, she loves you... what's not to love?" (Kissing Hailey)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sandy and Kirsten are in the office of the D.A.

D.A.: "I'm glad you agreed to work with us Mrs. Cohen, I'm sorry about all this,"

Kirsten: "Well if my father hadn't done all he has then I wouldn't be in this situation,"

D.A.: "Now the court date is only a week away so the press is bound to pick up on this story of you going against your father,"

Kirsten: "Yes, I realize that,"

D.A.: "I just want to make sure you're ready for what's going to happen,"

Sandy: "Don't worry, were ready to bring that man off his throne,"

Kirsten: "Sandy! He's still my father,"

D.A.: "That very well may be but he's also a criminal, I have some work to do to prepare for the case, I'll call you if we need you before the trial,"

They all get up shake hands and leave.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sandy and Kirsten pull up to their house to find Caleb waiting out front for them.

Sandy: "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Kirsten: "Sandy calm down,"

Sandy: "I will not calm down; this man doesn't have any right to be here,"

Caleb: "Calm down Sandy I'm not here to fight, I just need to talk to my daughter... alone"

Sandy: "Over my dead body,"

Kirsten: "Sandy... look why don't you go inside and order some food, I'll come in a minute,"

Sandy still upset goes inside.

Kirsten: "What do you want dad, you know you shouldn't be here, especially after that night you were snooping in Sandy's office,"

Caleb: "Look Kiki I don't know why you're doing what you're doing, I thought you were on my side... you're my daughter for god's sake and you're making deals with the D.A.!"

Kirsten: "Dad if this is why you came here you might as well leave, you're wasting your time, my minds already made up,"

Caleb: "Ok, I respect that... but it would be a shame if Sandy were to find out about your little abortion,"

Kirsten: "Are you black mailing me?"

Caleb: "Oh don't think of it like that,"

Kirsten: "What happened between Jimmy and me before I was married is between Jimmy and me!"

Caleb: "Except I don't believe Jimmy knew about it either," (Now giving an evil smile) "I'll give you some time to re-think your actions with the D.A.... you have till tomorrow night,"

He left leaving Kirsten standing there shaking in anger.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The mall

Summer: "Cohen this would look so great on you!" (Holding up and Abercrombie and Fitch shirt)

Seth: "I don't think so...."

Summer: "Oh come on... just try it... for me!" (Giving him puppy dog eyes)

Seth: "Find but then you have to come with me to the comic book store,"

Summer: "Ok forget the shirt," (Throwing it back on the rack) "I have most of my stuff, what do you want to do now?"

Seth: "You're asking me what do to? In a mall?"

Summer gives him a look to show she's not amused with his joke.

Seth: "I think we should go to Victoria's Secret," (Giving a serious look)

Summer: "Nice try Cohen," (Playfully hitting him in the stomach) "You know... my dad's not home tonight and the step mom's out too," (Giving a little smile) "Wanna go?"

They start kissing right there in the middle of the mall.

Summer: "So I'm guessing that's a yes,"

The two scurry out of the mall and into the car.

--------------------------------------------------------

Ryan and Marissa slowly approach the palace like mansion, neither feeling too confident about the evening.

Julie opens the door to see Marissa standing there.

Julie: "Marissa honey, it's so nice you could come!"

She then sees Ryan standing behind her.

Julie: "What's he doing here!" (Voice suddenly angry)

Marissa: "He's my boyfriend... and he's having dinner with us, if you don't like it I could leave?"

Julie: "Fine he can stay,"

Ryan: "Wow thanks Julie, I'm so excited,"

Julie: "Sarcasm that's cute Ryan, getting anyone pregnant lately,"

Ryan wants to say something but Marissa grabs his hand to calm him down.

They begin walking through the mansion to the dining room. Marissa and Ryan holding each other's hand's for confidence.

Marissa: "So where's Caleb,"

Julie: "Well thanks to your so called boyfriend there he won't be joining us, he's not too happy about Luke,"

Ryan: "That's too bad..."

Julie just gives him an evil look.

Caitlin comes downstairs.

Caitlin: "Marissa!"

Marissa: "Hey!" (Giving her little sister a hug) "Remember Ryan?"

Caitlin: "Ya, you're the bad guy mom say's is out to ruin Marissa's life,"

Marissa: "Mom!"

Ryan lets it pass since she is just a little kid. They all sit down to a very quiet and tense dinner until someone knocks on the door. Julie starts to get up when Ryan stops her.

Ryan: "Don't worry I'll get it,"

Julie just sits wondering why he was nice for that moment.

Julie: "So Marissa, do you think you'll be moving back in soon?"

Caitlin: "Ya move back in, it's so boring here without you,"

Marissa: "Wow mom I don't know, you've given me so much reason to want to live here," (Sarcastically) "Sorry Caitlin I won't be moving in anytime soon,"

Julie: "We'll see about that after I talk to Dr. Melano," (Calmly)

Ryan: "Than you won't have to wait long," (Ryan is seen walking back into the dining room with Dr. Melano)

Julie: "Why Dr. Melano what are you doing here?"

Melano: "Ryan called me,"

Marissa: "Ryan what's going on?" (Worried Melano was there for her)

Melano: "Ryan told me what's been going on between you and you're mom and I must say I'm very worried,"

Julie: "As am I doctor, I think she would do better in the clinic,"

During this conversation a shocked Marissa is looking at Ryan who seems surprisingly calm.

Melano: "Actually I'm worried about you," (Looking at Julie)

Julie: "Me?" (Sounding defensive)

Melano: "I heard all about Luke and the things you've done to your daughter and I must say I'm worried about her well being,"

Julie: "There must be a mistake,"

Melano: "I'm sorry but until I feel she is in a safe environment I'm going to have to ask you to stay away from her, I've asked the state to give Jimmy Cooper temporary full custody until I see you're better,"

Julie: "What! Ryan you... you!"

Melano: "I do not think it's safe for Caitlin here either, which is why I'm having her stay with her father as well,"

Julie: "You can't do this!!! You're just some stupid psychiatrist!" (Now screaming)

Melano: "I'm sorry but until you're better this is how things are," (Looking at Marissa and Caitlin) "Caitlin honey, you need to get packed, and Marissa I know you already live with your father so this will just make it so your mother has no legal authority over you,"

Marissa runs up to Melano and hugs her.

Marissa: "Thank you,"

Julie is just sitting there in rage as Caitlin is upstairs packing, she stares at Ryan the entire time with utter hatred.

Caitlin cautiously comes downstairs with her bag.

Melano: "Ok let's go girls, Ryan you can follow in Marissa's car, its better if Marissa came with her sister,"

Ryan: "Ok," (Turning to Marissa) "I'll see you at Jimmy's," (Giving her a little kiss)

As they leave Caitlin turns around to a shocked and helpless Julie.

Caitlin: "Bye mom," (The door then closes to leave Julie in the empty mansion)
