Plot
Summer finally manages to get through her grief over Marissa. When Seth comes to Providence to visit her, she tries to go back to the way she was before. But the last months show an effect on her personality she can't just erase. Seth worries about whether or not he fits into her new life, but she assures him that she still loves him. Sandy realizes he has no male friends left and tries to change that by talking Jason 'Spitzy' Spitz into a meeting. After the break-up with Neil, Julie makes a bet with Kaitlin: Julie stays away from men, Kaitlin from trouble. That doesn't work so well and they meet in a club, where Julie is dancing wildly with a younger man while Kaitlin used a fake ID to get in. Taylor asks Ryan to help her to get out of her marriage with Henri-Michel from France. Due to a French law, Taylor has to show her infidelity. Ryan kisses her in front of Henri-Michel's lawyer. Taylor gets her divorce and develops a crush on Ryan.
