A hooded figure come up to the Cohen door at midnight and knocked loudly on the door. Sandy looking very exhausted opened the door, "Whoa who are you?". The person took off the hood and it was a girl with long black hair. "So this looks like a nice crib, can I crash?". Sandy was very surprised and just as he was about to speak, Kirsten came down the stairs very furious. "Get out of our house, right now. You've disturbed us, now go". The girl looked very upset, "My name's Vanessa. Vanessa Thorpe. I need a place to stay". "C'mon Kirsten". "OK" said Kirsten. "You sleep on the couch". "Thanks" said Vanessa dumping her stuff on the ground.
The following morning, Kirsten offered Vanessa some breakfast. "No thanks, I have to go meet up with a family relative. Thanks for last night". "Ummm, it was OK" said Kirsten, looking surprised. Vanessa left the house as Hailey walked past Kristen without greeting her. "Hailey Im sorry" said Kirsten. "I have no time for apologies. Im going to go see Lindsay". Hailey picked up her purse and left the house. "What is it with people today?" said Kirsten.
At school, Summer was a little too excited about Anna's return. "Congratulations on your engagement" smiled Anna. "Oh thanks, we're having an engagement party tonight my house 8pm". "Yeah but Summer it's tuesday. Im gonna miss my fix of the Gilmore Girls". "Very funny Cohen" said Summer. "Be there guys" she continued and left arm in arm with Zach. "You just had to rub it in didn't you Anna?" said Seth.
"C'mon sweetie, you're already late for school as it is" said Jimmy. Marissa was hysterical, her whole face covered with tears. "Dad I just found out you're leaving Newport in 5 days. You cant leave me with mom and Caleb, you just cant. Please daddy dont go!" said Marissa. "Marissa I have to. I know you're not comfortable with your stepdad and your mom, but they have the money- you have the great life possible". Jimmy gave his daughter a hug.
Julie was trying on gowns at the store for Summer's engagement party. She showed a gown to Caleb, "What do you think? Does it suit me Cal?". Vanessa walked by with the words, "Yeah if you had the body to show it off". Julie was outraged, "What did you say to me?". "I said you'd fit that dress if you had the body". Julie was about to slap Vanessa until Caleb stopped her, "You young lady need to apologise to my wife". Vanessa looked surprised at the sight of Julie and Cal being married. "You two? She's young enough to be your daughter!" Vanessa burst out laughing. "That girl needs an attitude check" said Julie.
The next stop for Vanessa was a car store. She looked at the model cars outside and started flirting with the manager. "It's getting a bit hot out here". She took off her sweater to reveal only her bra. The manager look very convinced. "What do you say now? Can I have a test run with that car over there?" She pointed to the black Range Rover. "Absolutely" said the manager handing her the key. Vanessa ran up to the car and got the engine going, "Thanks!". The manager realised Vanessa was intent on keeping the car. He dialed emergency numbers to chase Vanessa. Vanessa thought of the chase as a game until she hit a lamp-post.
At the police station, Vanessa called for Kirsten's help. "Hey I heard the news. How much do I have to pay?" Vanessa replied, "Talk to the manager". Kirsten stepped into the manager's office. Vanessa smiled, clearly having a trick up her sleeve. She snuck past the office and outside.
It turned 8pm and it was time for Summer and Zach's engagement party. Neil Roberts made an announcement, "Thank you all for coming to my daughter's engagement party. I know my daughter and Zach are a bit young, but c'mon it's love at first sight. So a toast for Orange County's hot new couple!". Vanessa managed to gatecrash the party but no-one was fooled, seeing as though she only wore tore jeans and a Nike T-Shirt. Summer went up to Vanessa, "You're not on the guest list". Vanessa replied, "Who do you think you are? Barbie?". Summer was shocked and leaped at Vanessa. Both ladies ended up in the pool. Zach arrived. Zach and Vanessa exchanged name sayings. Summer looked shocked. "Zach who is she?". "She's... She's...", "She's what Zach?" Everybody was now looking at Zach. "She's my girlfriend".
Julie came knocking at Jimmy's yacht. When Jimmy opened up, Julie gave him a kiss. "Jimmy please dont leave, your breaking your daughter's heart". "Julie Im leaving cause I need to leave. Give me one good reason for me to stay". "Jimmy... Im pregnant".
"You're pregnant?" asked Jimmy in astonishment. Tears were now filling Julie up. "I know, you dont want another baby and I dont want another one. We're paying the price for committing adultery, Jimmy". Jimmy looked happy. "Julie I want another baby! This gives me another reason to stay in Newport!". "But Jimmy, what about Caleb?"
The following day, Summer gave Zach an earful at breakfast in his room. "Zach, all this time we have been dating you've been two timing me!". "She's a very controlling woman- I told her no but she wouldn't listen". "Zach we're engaged! How could you keep this from me?". "Im really sorry Summer". "Well you should be. You shold be ashamed of yourself". "I know. I am. Are we still getting married". "I dont know yet". Summer was fully dressed and left Zach's house in tears.
Anna surfed the net in Seth's room while he lay on the bed talking to Captain Oats. "Captain, what is happening to me? First I dated Anna, then Summer, dumped by Summer, dated Alex briefly, now Alex is lesbian and Summer is engaged. Im like a magnet for terrible relationships". Anna replied, "Seth I am here. Im not invisible!".
Hailey returned from the hospital. "And where were you?" asked Kirsten. "I was with Lindsay" answered Hailey. "Oh you got me, Hailey. Is the bad seed turning good?" smiled Sandy. "Five letter word for an unfunny comedian? Sandy". Hailey walked off and Kirsten looked disappointed. "Well our plan's working, she's out the house more. I actually thank Caleb" smiled Sandy. "Sandy me and Hailey we're losing our bond" said Kirsten sitting on the sofa. "Wow I never thought you'd feel like that". "Me too".
Lindsay was in the hospital. There was a knock on the door. It was Marissa, Anna and Seth. Seth greeted Lindsay, "Hey! We bear gifts, fruits and..." he started sniffing the room, "... an unholy stink!". Lindsay sat up, "Guys you didn't have to do this". "Oh I insisted" smiled Marissa. "No you didn't insist, you punched" said Anna. Renee came in, "Can I have a word with Lindsay alone please?". "Yeah sure" replied Marissa. They left the room leaving Lindsay with Renee. "What's going on mom?". "Lindsay, I just had some news about Ryan. They said he might not pull through and he really is badly damaged".
At the end of school, Summer saw Vanessa talking to Zach at a coffee shop. "Oh look it's Coke Whore and Captain Ct". "I was breaking it off with her Summer" said Zach. "Do you have a problem, Tinkerbell?" said Vanessa walking up to Summer. "Yeah I do it's called you, bh!". Before another fight could errupt, Zach came in the middle. "Stop it you two, Vanessa you should leave! It's Summer I want not you". "You're making a big mistake". "Im sorry" said Zach. "You're not. But you will be. I'll make you". Vanessa stormed off as Summer gave Zach a big hug.
Anna had a slumber party with Marissa and Summer that night. "Zach is such a great guy, I knew hed dump that brunette bh". "Seth was really worried about you, Summer" said Anna. "Was he, that's sweet" smiled Marissa. "In Cohen's exact words, A guy like Zach doesn't deserve a girl like Summer" said Anna. She said aww with Marissa but Summer didn't. "Are you two all for Seth and Summer getting back together?". Marissa and Anna nodded. "Well there's no way. Im getting married in a few weeks, that's right few weeks and no one can stop me, no matter how much Cohen begs!".
Lindsay went to visit Ryan. All she could do was hold his hand and cry. "Ryan... I know you'll make it baby. We'll make it through this. You're strong, you can do it". Lindsay wept off her tears as Ryan squeezed her hand. "Ryan?". Ryan opened his eyes.
Julie was in the waiting room to see a doctor. Doctor Wilson,
an old man stepped out of his office, "Mrs Julie Cooper Nichol
please". Julie went into Dr Wilson's room. "So you wanted
to schedule an appointment with me. What is it that you want, Mrs
Cooper Nichol?". "It's not what I want Dr Wilson, It's what
I need. I need an abortion".
"You're gonna stay in
Newport?" Marissa was overjoyed as Jimmy broke to her the good
news. "But why are you gonna stay?" said Marissa. "I
really dont know how to tell you this... but me and your mom.. we've
been having an affair... and she's pregnant". Marissa froze.
"You've been having an affair? Dad what were you thinking?".
"Im sorry it was for the best". "FOR THE BEST? DID YOU
EVEN THINK ABOUT ME? You know what I never thought I would say this
but I feel so sorry for Caleb". Marissa left the room.
The following day a knock came at the Cohen door. It was Lindsay. Hailey greeted her with a hug "Come in". Lindsay arrived at the kitchen to face Sandy, Kirsten and Seth. "Hi Lindsay. How are you?" Kirsten said. "Im OK I have a surprise for you though" she replied. Ryan came into the room. Seth stood up and hugged Ryan. "OMG How r u buddy?" Kirsten was crying. "I never thought you'd wake up" she gave Ryan a tight hug. "I gotta say it again, Kirsten's never a hugger" smiled Sandy. Both Ryan and Lindsay laughed at this.
At school the next day, Marissa, Seth, Anna and Summer greeted Ryan and Lindsay. "Omg Ryan Im so glad you are still alive because guess what?". "You're getting married next week. Seth told me" grinned Ryan. Summer gave Seth a playful punch. "Cohen!". "So Summ, what are the plans for the wedding". "Right Marissa you're Maid of Honour, Anna you're one of the Bridesmaids and I still have to choose two more. Zach says Seth and Ryan can be his Best Men". At this, the gang started to get excited.
That night, Julie and Jimmy were getting down to business at his yacht. "Im so happy you're staying Jimmy". "And Im so happy you're pregnant". "But what about Caleb?". "That's the problem. I told Marissa..." Julie pushed Jimmy off of her. "You told Marissa?". "I know and what if she tells Caleb?". "Exactly" said Julie. "But we have to focus on the future which means the baby". "There is no future, Jimmy. I had an abortion". Jimmy flipped out. "YOU HAD AN ABORTION? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?". "Jimmy if Caleb found out Id have no money. Id lose everything". "God Julie is money all you think about? We're done. Im leaving Newport, it's not too late". "But Jimmy..." "Get out of my yacht Julie. Get out".
Julie returned to the mansion where Caleb was waiting. "Julie we were supposed to go to dinner half an hour ago". "I know Jimmy". Caleb was surprised at this. "Jimmy?". "I mean Cal". "Julie, dont tell me you still have feelings for Jimmy". "Why would I, to me he's still a criminal". "Now c'mon get dressed before I have to cancel the reservation".
The following day, Marissa confronted Julie in the living room, in tears. "How could you do that to dad? You stupid bitch!" Marissa picked up a glass vase and threw it at Julie who ducked. "Im losing my patience with you young woman". Julie walked up to Marissa. "How could you do that to dad? Having an affair with him, getting pregnant and then getting an abortion! YOU'RE A WHORE! ONCE WAS ALWAYS WILL BE!". Julie gave Marissa a hard slap in the face. Caleb walked in having heard everything. Julie froze.
Seth and Anna walked up to the comic book store. "It's been a while since I bought some comics" laughed Anna. "Oh my" Seth said out loud. Inside the comic book store, Zach and Vanessa were making out.
The whole room froze as Caleb found out about the Julie/Jimmy affair and her abortion. "Marissa will you excuse me and your mother please. We need to have a talk". "Gladly" said Marissa. Many thoughts were now invading Julie's mind- were they gonna get a divorce? Would Caleb forgive her?
Outside the comic book store, Seth and Anna hid behind some bushes. "Ouch this bush is affecting my Jew fro!". Zach and Vanessa exited the store hand in hand. "What a whore" whispered Anna. "I know! She took the last copy of Ultimate X Men!"
Back at the Cooper-Nichol mansion, Julie and Caleb sat down to have a talk. "Caleb Im so sorry you had to find out like this". "Im sorry too. I think I want a divorce". "Cal that is not the right action and you know it. You made a mistake in your previous marriage and got a second chance, why cant I?". "Julie you had an abortion". "Cal I know I made a big mistake and Im sorry. Please forgive me". Cal was stuck with a yes or no answer.
In front of the bushes was a bench where Zach and Vanessa sat to continue making out. Seth and Anna got front seats to watch them. "Hey do you want ice cream or something?" Zach asked Vanessa. "Sure" said Vanessa. As Zach got up, Vanessa smiled and slapped his ass. Anna didn't like what she saw. "What.A.Slut. Im gonna kick her ass so hard I'll send her all the way to China!" Seth couldn't help but laugh.
Back at the mansion, Julie was crying and was uncontrollable. Outside the door Marissa shouted "Dont fall for it Caleb she's just using you". Julie was furious and opened the door. "Get out, go back to your lesbian partner or whatever". Marissa left the room too angry to reply. "You really need to fix your relationship with your daughter" said Caleb. "Cal am i forgiven?" "We'll see Ju Ju. We'll see". Julie turned around to go back to her seat. She grinned, knowing her plan would work.
Elsewhere, Seth looked inside the comic book store where a man put up new copies of an Ultimate X Men comic book. "OMG Anna look what Jasper just put up". "Jasper? He sounds like a character from Aladdin!" said Anna. Zach came back treating Vanessa with ice cream. "Here's your favourite vanilla, honey". Vanessa smiled saying thanks. "Vanilla? What planet is that girl from?" Anna's humor continued.
Meanwhile, Julie continued to beg Caleb for forgiveness. "Julie I made up my mind. Get out of my house". "Caleb it's my house too". "Julie I know you only married me for my money". Julie gave Caleb a good slap. "What do you think I am? A slut?". Caleb gave Julie a hard slap as well. "Definitely. Now pack your things and get out!"
Zach and Vanessa left the bench to go make out in Zach's car. "Oh thank God they're gone" said Anna. "I know! I can finally get that special Ultimate X Men edition". Seth and Anna spent the rest of the night browsing through comic books. Julie sat outside the gate of the mansion crying, hysterical. No money. No friends. No daughter. Nothing.
