Seth's room
Seth is on his cell listening to Summer's voicemail
Summer's prerecorded voice: You have reached Summer Roberts
Seth: Summer I've left 5 messages. If you want me to come over I'll be home all day
Seth presses end on the phone and lies back on his bed.
He picks up Captain Oats.
Seth: So captain oats….
Seth tosses him aside
Seth: You are no match for Ryan or Summer
Knock on the door
Anna: Seth
Seth: Anna (looks confused)
Anna: Don't sound so excited to see me
Seth stands up and hugs her. He looks genuinely excited.
Seth: So how..why
Anna: My parents decided they wanted to see sun for summer so we are back in Newport until college
Seth: cool. Its so great to see you…
Anna: I'm so sorry about Marissa
Seth: hm yeah
Anna: If its too hard for you to talk about its fine
Seth: Me find it hard to talk!
Anna punches him in the arm
Seth: I am the only one willing to talk. Summer has morphed into a female Ryan… She actually lets me watch Yakuza which is great
Anna: Seth
Seth: Ok she's falling apart. I don't know what to say or do. I don't even know if we are dating.
Anna: How?
Seth: We had sex after the funeral then nada. No sex, no making out. Its like hugging a tree
Anna: She's been through a lot. What about Ryan?
Seth: Brooding. Beating up a punchbag imagining its Volchok's head. Possibly drinking
Anna: Is he saying anything?
Seth gives her a look: Its Ryan
Seth sighs
Seth: Is it wrong that I want to turn back time so I can have my life back
Anna: Its childish but I know what you mean
Anna gives him a lingering hug
Anna (whispering): I have Yakuza…
Cohen kitchen
Sandy: You seen Ryan today
Kirsten: No, I heard him boxing earlier but he isn't in the poolhouse now
They hear giggles upstairs
Sandy: Its good to hear Summer is getting her sparkle back
Kirsten: Its not Summer
Sandy raises an eyebrow
Kirsten: Anna
Sandy: I thought he and Summer were back on
Kirsten: I don't know…All I know is that he spent the night with Summer after the funeral and he goes over everyday… but that's dwindled
Sandy: Nothing to do with Anna I hope
Kirsten: I know we've been there before and that's without Marissa
They are silent for a minute
Sandy: Poor Summer- no boyfriend, no best friend
Kirsten: Poor Ryan- no girlfriend, no brother. Both of them are alone
Sandy: The person who should be there for both of them is upstairs making a girl giggle
Cohen exterior front door. Night. Summer is sitting on the step.
Ryan approaches. He looks quizzical.
Summer: In the whole storming out the house thing I kinda forgot my key and I don't wanna wake Julie
Ryan opens the door and holds it open with his arm. Summer walks in. As she passes him she smiles
Summer: Thanks
Ryan shuts the door
Summer follows him through the house
Cohen kitchen
Sandy, Kirsten, Seth and Anna are gathered laughing and joking.
Seth sees Ryan
Seth: Hey buddy where you been?.. You missed…
He trails off as Ryan steps into the light the damage is fully visible
Seth: Whoa
Kirsten: Oh my god
Sandy: What happened to you or should I say who?
Summer enters the kitchen
Seth: Whoa and the what the hell did you do to my girlfriend?
Seth looks angrily at Ryan
Seth puts his arm round Summer
Seth: Baby what happened?
Summer removes his arm and gives Anna a glare
Kirsten: Lets get you two cleaned up
Seth: Was it Volchok?
Summer: Looks down and to the side
Seth (moving so he is standing opposite Ryan): You let Volchok get to her? One is unlucky, two is just careless.
Ryan: Well incase you forgot Summer isn't mine to lose. She is yours. (pointed look at Anna)
Summer(interrupting): I attacked Volchok he got out of control and Ryan jumped in
Seth: Out of control
Summer: Its ok. Volchok didn't mess me up too bad.
Seth looks angry.
Seth: Lucky Ryan was there to swoop in to save you
Summer: What was I supposed to do? Call you and your puny fists? Oh wait I forgot you and blondie were too busy "watching Blade or Yakuza or reading comics" (does sarcastic quotations)
Seth: What's that meant to mean
Summer: You know
Seth: Oh so you think I'm lying
Summer: Well pardon me for thinking that given the past
Seth: So in that case… How did you and Ryan just run into one another at the beach…
When he first came you liked him
Ryan: Seth back off man
Seth: Who are you to tell me to back off? This isn't your relationship anyway
Ryan: She's my friend too and I know a lot more about how she is feeling right now than you do
Seth: I bet you do (very sarcastic)
Ryan punches Seth across the jaw. Seth crumples to the floor.
Anna: Seth (rushing to help him)
Ryan looks at Summer
Ryan: Sorry about that
Summer: No need to apologise…You beat me to it
