Fan favorite Michael Cassidy returns to the pool house with Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke to break-down the heartbreaking Season 3 Episode 25 finale, “The Graduates”

The three go into great detail about the episode and discuss how they are still traumatized by this episode and how hard it was too rewatch.  Michael gives the girls a shout-out on their performances in this episode.  They also discuss Dawn’s  pronunciation of Kirsten’s name, and a possible connection between The Handmaid's Tale and The OC.    

The Graduates Synopsis:  It’s graduation day for the core four, Ryan’s mom arrives to celebrate, Seth deals with the ramifications of his past actions, Summer wishes they could all stay together in Newport and Marissa announces that she is leaving to be with her dad instead of going to Berkeley.
