omg, that ending scene really really got to me. what a beautiful family the Cohen's are genuinely. I loved Seth asking Kirsten to go with him to see Ryan and that she actually did, that alone says a lot about her. I love an episode that has some kind of casino/vegas night (I'm looking at you Degrassi). the drama is always top tier in these and we finally had a little Seth and summer interaction which I have been waiting for!! so much fun! 🩶

My favorite thing about The OC is how they don’t make you hate all the rich. Some of them, like The Cohens, are the exception :)

I love the immediate growth we get from Kirsten here. Not that she was bad before… because she really just needed to see the full picture of Ryan’s situation, and once she did, it further allowed her to understand. How could she not? She’s literally a mother! 😅 Even from the pilot, they never made her out to be this rich woman who only cares about protecting her jewelry or keeping Ryan out of her home. That one line was such a great way to throw us off because it’s always been so clear to us that she DID want to help him. She was just hesitant for all the right reasons: Sandy hadn’t told her anything or even prepared her for Ryan suddenly coming to stay with them—he just brought him home without checking with her and only told her once they arrived—so naturally, she needed a moment to process everything. And I love that when she hears it from his own mother, her entire perspective shifts.

I was soooo happy to see the notification about this! I love how much you love Ryan, i feel the same way

Oh my God, this episode is this early in the season?? Genuinely thought it was a couple more episodes further in! But such a great one! It really solidifies Ryan's place in the family and I ALWAYS cry. He's had such a rough upbringing. It absolutely hurts that his mother is leaving his life again but I'm so happy that he has a family to turn to and a place in the world to find comfort in

I just realized ryan said he was 17 in that episode but in season 3 he turns 18. Makes no sense lol.

Yayyyy!! I hope you enjoyed! Ryan is so near and dear to my heart already and I’d go to war to protect him 🤣

Ryann Rodkey

It’s just so devastating to see a glimpse of what his life was like and seeing him realize that she was leaving again - ughhh too much for my heart. The only thing that could make it better was Kirsten officially taking him in 🥹🥹🥹

Ryann Rodkey

I totally agree! It was understandable for her to not want to just immediately take him in and alter their lives in that way forever not knowing the situation and I do feel like Sandy could’ve maybe done a little bit of a better job at explaining that 🤣

Luna

DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THAT SMILEHSHDKEKD (he looked so hopeful and happy for once in his life I’m so emo Ryann ☹️☹️)

So there are literally dozens of books, podcasts, YouTube rewatches and such covering The OC. Two of the best are the 20th anniversary book “Welcome to the OC: The Oral History” and the rewatch show hosted by Rachel Bilson (Summer) and Melinda Clarke (Julie). Both these have the intimate participation of creator / showrunner Josh Schwartz and virtually every other key person involved in the show. Highly recommended. In those, Josh says that the first three episodes together form the real pilot, as it takes that long for the show’s premise to gel.

There’s a Reddit discussion on what he’s really saying here. Asked what he wants to be now, he replies “17”. He might, as you suggest, be saying he wants to just live a normal 17-year-old life. But he could be 16 and mean he just wants to make it to 17.

Ryann Rodkey

oooh I really like this interpretation and it would make sense with the timeline there!

Ryann Rodkey

oooh I'll have to look into these once I've finished the show!!

Marie T-L

You’re not wrong!
