THIS IS FRIDAY'S POST!
In this last scene, the three happy couples will be shown enjoying each other's company, but to contrast that, there are three scenes with the potential to destroy at least one if not all three couples. At first, Ryan and Marissa are getting ready to go out. Seth and Summer have ventured out of their room and are sitting on the couch together, Summer laying down in Seth's arms. They are watching cartoons. When Ryan and Marissa emerge from their room, she is just glowing. They are both dressed for the beach and are carrying bags with supplies in them. It is obvious that they are back on solid ground, and they do not even notice Seth and Summer watching them.
Marissa: I think I have everything. You?
Ryan: All I need is you. (He pulls her to him and begins to kiss her. Seth and Summer watch but don't say anything, curious to hear more. Marissa pulls away to speak.)
Marissa: Oh, and what exactly are you going to swim in? We are not going skinny-dipping.
Ryan: We're not?
Marissa: Close enough. I hope this beach that we're going to is secluded, because that suit you bought me would probably break a few laws in most of the continental United States. (Seth and Summer look at each other and stifle giggles.)
Ryan: Do you actually think I would take you to a beach that wasn't private and let you prance around in that bikini for anyone else's eyes but my own? You got your present… (He plays with the necklace that is dangling from her neck. It is a small pendant in the shape of a rose. It is not solid, but an outline of diamonds. It hangs from a very thin chain so that the necklace almost appears to be floating.)
Marissa: Which I love.
Ryan: And seeing you in that bikini I bought you is my present.
Marissa: We were very sure of ourselves weren't we when you bought these gifts…especially yours?
Ryan: Let's just say I was hopeful.
Marissa: Well, if you promise to be really good the whole day, I might give you another present.
Ryan: What?
Marissa: I just might let you take the oh so skimpy bikini off of me….at the beach.
Ryan: Really? (He pulls her to him and begins to stroke her back up her shirt.)
Marissa: Hm Hm. (She closes the gap between them and bites his lip before kissing him down his neck and then sucking on it. His hands begin to travel away from her back and around to the front of her shirt and up under it. As she continues to nibble on his neck, she begins to giggle as he slightly tickles her. Both of them jump apart though when Seth clears his throat and Summer whistles.)
Seth: See, we didn't have to do anything and you two revealed everything we wanted to know about last night: if you made up, and I'd say that's a definite yes, what the piece of jewelry was, and we can see that it is the necklace on Marissa's neck, and, finally, what the second present was, which would be Ryan's gift to himself in the shape of a very teeny-tiny bikini for Marissa to wear for him. (He begins to clap.) Thank you very much, but we had to stop you before we saw just exactly how you made up last night. (Ryan glares at him, but Marissa decides to play along and tease right back.)
Marissa: Oh no, the show we were performing here was nothing like how we made up last night, was it Ryan? (He realizes what she is doing, so he plays along, too.)
Ryan: You're absolutely right, and from what I know about Seth, there's no way he'll ever…experience what we did. (Ryan and Marissa have smirks on their faces, Seth is pouting, but Summer is laughing loudly.)
Summer: Oh please, I know exactly what you did! It does not take a genius to figure you two out.
Seth: What, what did I miss?
Summer: Oh, that's right; I had sent you out for food when everything went down. Well, the water was still running in the bathroom, I could hear the shower going, and the next thing I know, I can hear Ryan and Marissa yelling at each other in the bathroom. Then their voices stop, but the water continues to run…the whole time you were gone Seth.
Seth: It was still running when I got back; I'd just assumed that Ryan was then taking a shower.
Summer: Oh, he was, but Marissa was still in there with him, (Summer turns to face Ryan and Marissa.) weren't you?
Marissa: No! I hate taking long showers like that. I wasn't showering at all. (She continues to smirk.)
Summer: Fine, deny it all you want, but I know the truth, but there is one question I still have. Ryan, Seth told me you two had some secret date planned for Friday night before everything happened; is this it? Were you two going to spend the night on the beach?
Ryan: Wow, Marissa, look at the time. We better get going.
Marissa: Well, don't just stand there. Let's go. (She picks their bags up again, and walks out the door with Ryan following laughing. Seth and Summer, in stunned silence, just watched them leave, shocked that they just walked out and did not answer them.)
Summer: It was their plan.
Seth: I think you're right.
Summer: Do you think they'll stay there tonight even though they have class tomorrow?
Seth: After what they've been through this weekend, it would not surprise me at all.
Summer: Then I think we should do something for just us; we do have the apartment to ourselves all day long and possibly all night, too.
Seth: Well, we can't have sex for weeks and weeks and weeks, so what else are we going to do?
Summer: We can spend a whole day together without having sex, Cohen. (He looks at her blankly because he is at a loss for ideas.) Now that I think about it, after you got home with dinner last night, we just watched movies, and you did not have to finish your servant duties for me.
Seth: What did you have in mind now, your highness?
Summer: I like that; your highness, it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Seth: Beautiful. (He rolls his eyes as he says this.)
Summer: Can the sarcasm, Cohen! Now, take me into the bedroom, (He looks up at her excited.) but do not get any ideas. You are going to pick up where you left off last night with my feet.
Seth: I have to massage your feet again?
Summer: No, they're finished, but the rest of body still needs a massage. (Summer smiles as him slyly. Seth jumps up and picks her up quite easily because he is excited and forgets to complain.)
Seth: This no sex is not so bad, you know?
Summer: (She laughs.) Yeah, let's see if you're still saying that a month from now?
Seth: Summer, don't ruin my moment here, okay?
Summer: Don't worry. I'm sure I'll be able to think of many things we can do to still have fun. (Seth laughs this time.)
Seth: And we both know I have an active imagination, so between the two of us, we should have a very kinky six weeks ahead of us. (With that, the have arrived at the bedroom. They enter and Seth kicks the door shut with his foot. Summer can be heard laughing as the camera leaves them. It goes to Sandy and Kirsten next. They are with Zoe, eating breakfast in the kitchen. Zoe is laughing and playing, while Sandy and Kirsten both appear to be a little tired, perhaps from their "intellectually" stimulating game of chess the night before. Zoe is in her chair eating, while Sandy is drinking coffee leaning up against the counter and Kirsten sits in a stool drinking her coffee.)
Sandy: So, my girls, what are we going to do today on this beautiful Sunday morning? Up for some more board games, honey?
Kirsten: (She laughs at his suggestion.) I believe that I need some time to recuperate, thank you very much. We're not as young as we used to be, Sandy. Besides, I think that Zoe would find those games a bit….boring?
Sandy: Alright then, we'll let Zoe decide what to do. Zoe, we can do anything you want to today, so how about it kiddo?
Zoe: I want to go to the park again, like yesterday! And then we can go for ice cream, and go to the pier, and then come home and go swimming, and then watch movies and eat pizza, and, before bed, we can call Seth, Summer, Ryan, and Marissa.
Kirsten: Well, Sandy, sounds as if Zoe has the whole day planned out. Are you ready to go? (He puts his coffee cup in the sink.)
Sandy: Just finished my coffee. I'll go and get ready, but you two ladies better not take long getting dressed.
Kirsten: (She stands up and puts her arms around his waist.) And what are you going to do if we do take a long time? Leave without us, I don't think so.
Sandy: You have me there. I can't do anything without my girls. (He kisses her softly, but Zoe interrupts them by laughing.)
Zoe: No sex in the pudding palace! No sex in the pudding palace! (Sandy and Kirsten whirl around and face Zoe. They are not mad but surprised.)
Sandy: What did you say?
Zoe: Seth taught me. He said that whenever you two kiss in the kitchen, I should say no sex in the pudding palace! (She laughs.)
Kirsten: Yeah, definitely have to talk to Seth tonight. (Sandy laughs.)
Sandy: Our son, doesn't he make you proud?
Kirsten: On second thought, why don't we just tell Ryan what Seth said. He's more protective of her than you are, so he'll make sure Seth doesn't pull anything like this again. (Sandy and Kirsten both laugh together softly. Zoe just looks at them confused.)
Zoe: Mommy! (Kirsten turns towards her daughter.)
Kirsten: What honey?
Zoe: Let's get ready! (Kirsten walks over towards her, picks her up out of her chair, and begins to walk out of the room.)
Kirsten: We'll meet you outside in fifteen, Sandy. Could you grab all beach toys, please? (The girls leave the room. Sandy is now by himself.)
Sandy: Pudding palace? (He shakes his head and laughs to himself.) Only you, Seth! (The camera leaves him and goes to a driveway where a limo has just pulled up. Julie steps out of it when the door opens. Caleb walks out of his house, a colossal mansion in the typical Newport style but just slightly more flamboyant. He walks up to Julie, takes her hands in his, and kisses her cheek. The window of the limo is rolled down, and Caleb addresses the driver before speaking with Julie.)
Caleb: Please take Mrs. Cooper's things to the guest house and carry them in for her. (The window is closed and the limo pulls away. Caleb turns back to Julie.) You're just in time for breakfast. (He takes her arm in his and leads her up the massive staircase which led to his front door.) Come, let's eat, and then I will show you my estate.
Julie: Sounds wonderful. (She smile at him and he smiles back. They walk into the house arm in arm and as the door shuts, the camera leaves Caleb's mansion and goes to the club. Jimmy is sitting at a table, waiting for his parents to arrive, while reading the paper. As the camera focuses on him, it glances down to what he is reading and there is a rather large picture of Kirsten in the paper. The article was detailing the changes about to take place at the Newport group and speculated what Kirsten would do. Jimmy is engrossed in the article, or, to be more precise, Kirsten's photo. When his parents walk in, they notice that he is reading something in the newspaper and that he seems lost in it. Fortunately for him, he notices them before they reach him and he closes the paper and sets it aside to avoid being caught in an awkward position.)
Jane: (Before she sits down, she kisses Jimmy on the cheek.) Good morning Jimmy. What were you reading, anything interesting or important in the paper today?
Jimmy: Skipped everything else and went straight to the sports page; it's a bad habit of mine.
James Sr.: I do the same thing, but I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. Any interesting… (Jane interrupts him.)
Jane: Oh no, no sports talk during breakfast; you two will spend the entire afternoon in the den watching games, this morning we're going to talk about other things.
Jimmy: Where's Caitlyn? I thought this morning when I went to the driving range that she was going to be joining us this.
James Sr.: Change in plans, I guess.
Jane: Your father, the softie over there, let Caitlyn stay home by herself to lay out in the sun while we had a family breakfast.
James Sr.: She never gets any time to herself; we're always trying to get her to spend as much time with us, and she just wanted to relax by the pool and be by herself for a few hours. There's no harm in that. Besides, we want to hear all about this new job of yours with Caleb. (The camera leaves the restaurant and goes to the Cooper residence where Caitlyn is laying by the side of the pool. Unbeknownst to her, there is a Pool Boy, about 25 watching her as she lays out on the deck chair. He continues to watch when she sits up, takes her top off, and tosses it aside as she lays back down on her stomach and turns her ipod back on. He is engrossed and does not take his eyes off of her. Deciding he wants a close up view, he begins to walk towards her, but she can not hear him because her music is on and she cannot see him because her eyes are closed. He sits down beside her on the chair and runs his fingers along her back softly. She jumps up, startled, and forgets that she does not have a top on. She turns off her ipod and then covers herself with her arms when she remembers that she is naked from the waist up.)
Caitlyn: Who the hell are you!
Pool Boy: The Pool Boy.
Caitlyn: Do you always sexually harass your clients' granddaughters?
Pool Boy: No, because no one else's Granddaughters have turned me on so much that I didn't care about losing my job. What's your name? I've never seen you here before; are you visiting?
Caitlyn: And what makes me any of your business? Besides, if anyone should be answering questions right now, it's you.
Pool Boy: For you, I'm an open book. Ask away; I'll answer any and all your questions just to sit here beside you.
Caitlyn: Hand me my top…please.
Pool Boy: I prefer you without it on.
Caitlyn: I don't care what you prefer. If you want to talk to me, you will hand me my top. If my Grandparents or Father for that matter came home right now, they would have you arrested and I would be sent off to a nunnery.
Pool Boy: A nunnery?
Caitlyn: Hamlet; Shakespeare? (He continues to look lost, but hands her the top and she puts it on.) Right, so, first question, do you know how to read?
Pool Boy: If I said I didn't, could I come here and so you could give me lessons?
Caitlyn: No.
Pool Boy: Alright then, I can read.
Caitlyn: How old are you?
Pool Boy: However old you want me to be. (She glares at him and begins to get up, but he gently pushes her back down so that she is sitting.) I'll be 20 this spring, April. (She looks at him closely, not sure whether or not she should believe his age.)
Caitlyn: And you've never read Shakespeare of Hamlet?
Pool Boy: I'm not like you; I didn't grow up in the lap of luxury.
Caitlyn: What makes you so sure I grew up here?
Pool Boy: You seem to fit in quite well.
Caitlyn: Well, I didn't. I just moved here, and I'm staying with my grandparents. So, if you're not from Newport, where are you from?
Pool Boy: You wouldn't know it.
Caitlyn: Alright fine; let's go back to your original question. My name is Caitlyn; what's yours pool boy? (She puts her hand out to shake his. He puts his hand in hers and begins to shake it before replying.)
Pool Boy: Trey. (The camera leaves them and goes back to Seth and Summer. They are in their bedroom, but Seth is not giving Summer a body massage. Instead, they are playing the game where a person traces letter into someone's back and then the other person has to guess the letters and then figure out the word. Music is playing throughout the rest of the scene as it flows through the three happy couples enjoying their Sunday afternoons. The song is: Sia's "Breath Me." Summer is lying on her stomach while Seth sits beside her, softly tracing her shirtless back. He is also shirtless for when it is his turn to be written on. Summer is giggling softly as his fingers move along her back, and Seth is happy. He leans down and kisses her back softly before continuing to write. They are talking while doing so, but they can't be heard as the music plays over their voices. The scene leaves them and goes to the park where Sandy is pushing Zoe in her swing and Kirsten is swinging beside her. They are all laughing, smiling, and talking together. Finally, it goes to Ryan and Marissa who are at the beach. It is a secluded one, just like Ryan said. They have a blanket spread over the sand, and beach umbrella over them to partially shade them from the sun, and she is laying in his arms. As Ryan just watches her, she is reading a book. The song that is playing throughout the scene is playing in a portable CD player beside them softly. Ryan begins to kiss Marissa's neck as she tries to concentrate on her reading. When it doesn't distract her, he keeps kissing her neck but also moves to her shoulders with his lips and along the back of her neck. Then he begins to massage her stomach lightly with his fingers, running them up and down and tracing circles all around her abdomen. When she still resists him, he lets his hands travel up to her breasts and begins to lightly move his hands along the sides of them up and down back and forth. Finally, out of total frustration, he lets his hand work its way up to her neck and unties her bikini top, helping it fall off, and then takes his hand back down to her breasts and, once again, continues to massage them. All of sudden, Marissa throws her book to the side, flips her body over, and forces Ryan to lie down on the blanket. Her hands go on either side of his head as she uses them to support herself as she reaches down and begins to kiss him. His hands travel to her bikini bottoms, and he slowly starts to work them off as she moves her kisses down his chin, to his neck, chest, and abdomen. When she reaches his swimming trunks, she quickly pulls them off, throws them, and then lowers her body so that she is lying on top of him. He rolls her over so that he is on top and they begin to passionately kiss while their hands explore each other's bodies. The camera fades away as they get smaller and smaller until they can not even be distinguished any more and the scene ends. (As always, the camera has to work it so that only appropriate body parts for television are shown while everything that occurs is still accurately displayed.)
Note on Trey: After he got out of jail, he did not come to Newport. He has only spoken to Ryan once since he got out, and that was on a complete accident. They had run into each other at a club in LA the year before and had exchanged hellos and that was it. Now, he is working for a pool company in Newport, and unbeknownst to Ryan, he has moved there. At this point, Ryan does not want anything to do with Trey. He does not really consider him his brother any longer, and knows that he would only cause trouble in his life.
