The O.C. Season 3, Episode 12: "The Sister Act". Sisters are doing it for themselves as we're re-introduced to a new and improved Kaitlin Cooper. Meanwhile, Taylor's mom is blackmailing her way into a date with Dr. Neil Roberts... could this lead to Summer getting Taylor as a sister? Our friend Jaleh joins us to talk through the episode and make sense of everything.

The O.C. Season 3, Episode 11. "The Safe Harbor". "Marissa Cooper graduates!" The gang takes up the cause of getting Marissa back into school, but does she even want to go back? Why leave public school when there's Johnny's dumb face to look at all the time? Our good friend JeskuhBS joins us for a breakdown of the episode, and a breakdown in human decency.

The O.C. Season 3, Episode 10: "The Chrismukkah Bar Mitz-vahkkah": Johnny is too honorable to let people give him money, so he's going to forcibly take money from someone else. Undeterred, Ryan has a fake Bar Mitz-vah to get Johnny a new knee. We also announce the next podcast in the Lead Deals network: Hart of Dixie Chicks!

Three friends have a weekly discussion about the 2011-2015 CW show, Hart of Dixie. Join our journey to Bluebell, Alabama where we debate the merits of small town life, love triangles, alligators as pets, and formal shorts as part of your work wardrobe.

The OC Men watch Season 3 Episode 9 of The OC: "The Disconnect". Last week we wrapped up the story about Johnny's obsession with Marissa, so this week we get a story about Johnny's obsession with Marissa. Hooray! Also, Seth acts like a doofus when Summer is discovered to be smart. Also, Ryan gets a lap dance from Sipowicz!

The OC Men watch Season 3, episode 8 of The O.C.: "The Game Plan". It's 4th and long for high school, and it's time to decide what's going to happen next year. Will Seth make it across the country? Will Ryan be the first Atwood to make it to college? Will Marissa go to college or instead be a surfing label rep? There should be more sports metaphors here, but I'm the wrong person to be writing them.

I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do is stare at the ocean. We watched The Anger Management as everyone struggles to keep their cool. Charlotte's after Newport's cash, Taylor's after Cohen's ass, Volchok's after Ryan's lass, and... Summer's full of lots of sass. I bet you didn't expect beautiful poetry in this description. Your move, Emily Dickinson.

Marissa is in full-on "obsessed but not cheating" mode as she continues to spend more time with Johnny, leaving Ryan to wonder if he should have stayed on the fishing boat last episode. Meanwhile Taylor has trapped everyone in the school for the weekend, but Ryan and Summer are trying to keep track of Marissa. We're also introduced to the lovely Volchok, and his smile and muscles are making us feel weird feelings. We watched The O.C. episode, "The Swells"!

Looks like a storm's a'comin'... and that storm looks like dropping out of high school! Ryan contemplates setting sail aboard a fishing boat and leaving this whole crazy scene behind, while Summer and Seth try and hatch a plan to expose Taylor and the Dean's illicit activities. Looks like it's teenage drama dead ahead as we watch "The Perfect Storm". Meanwhile, on OC&D, we delve into the dreams of the core four as they try and decide what to do about the mysterious cult meeting for one of the weirdest episodes yet.
