Recapping episode 20 of season 1 of The O.C.. We sleepwalk through an episode mostly centered around a snooze-fest Teresa / Ryan storyline. Seth engages in a very public display of affection towards Summer that gives us major second hand cringe, and we've done a complete 180 on Ana. Also Julie and Luke are still a thing and it still makes us sad.

Recapping episode 19 of season 1 of The O.C.. We're back after an impromptu break last week! Marissa's cringeworthy attempts to pretend Oliver never existed rightfully fall flat with Ryan. Meanwhile, two sex storylines we definitely didn't need, and feel very uncomfortable discussing.

Recapping episode 18 of season 1 of The O.C.. Luke is the only one who backs up Ryan and tries to figure out what Oliver's deal is, earning the MVF (most valuable friend) award in the process, while Marissa continues to infuriate us all. Seth is also the worst and gets dumped by Ana (finally).

Recapping episode 17 of season 1 of The O.C.. The gloves are literally off as Ryan becomes more and more concerned about Oliver's presence while everyone else is seemingly oblivious. Meanwhile, Julie isn't the absolute worst for once, and Sandy decides to rescue Jimmy by going into the restaurant business?? (with special guest gabber!)

Recapping episode 16 of season 1 of The O.C.. In one of the most rage inducing episodes of the season, Marissa continues to be oblivious about Oliver's intentions, Summer annoys everyone on purpose, and Caleb doesn't deny he loves Hailey more than Kirsten.

Recapping episode 15 of season 1 of The O.C.. We get the first band-centric episode as the gang goes to see Rooney. Ryan is the only one who is a little suspicious of Oliver since Marissa is too clueless and Seth is too self-involved. Meanwhile, Hailey annoys everyone, including us, as the worst guest of all time.

Recapping episode 14 of season 1 of The O.C.. Marissa leans on Oliver, who she barely knows, when Ryan doesn't say "i love you" back immediately. Meanwhile, Kirsten has an existential crisis because her "wild" younger sister Haley appears out of nowhere and gets into her head about her lovely marriage with Sandy.

Recapping episode 13 of season 1 of The O.C.. It's officially "the holidays" and we mercifully conclude the Balboa Heights storyline, learn that Seth doesn't deserve Summer or Ana, and see Marissa finally realize that going to therapy could actually be good for her.

Recapping episode 12 of season 1 of The O.C.. Big episode for people to jump on the Luke Bandwagon, as he handles a life-altering situation incredibly well for his age. Meanwhile, Seth deals with the fallout of his duplicity on Thanksgiving and Kirsten and Sandy continue to give Jimmy and Julie help and advice despite them not really deserving it.

Recapping episode 11 of season 1 of The O.C.. It's Thanksgiving and Marissa is finally on the upswing as she and Ryan go back to Chino, Seth sketchily has multiple makeouts with Summer and Anna, and Kirsten binge drinks instead of telling Caleb to hit the bricks. (with special guest gabber joining us!)
