Friends, lovers no more: Ryan (Ben McKenzie) and Marissa (Mischa Barton) intend to resist all temptation and keep their relationship on a strictly platonic basis. Meanwhile, Ryan's former girlfriend Theresa (Navi Rawat) isn't being completely above-board as to why she has shown up in Newport. Elsewhere, Jimmy (Tate Donovan) is suspicious about the relationship between Julie (Melinda Clarke) and Luke (Chris Carmack); Caleb (Alan Dale) causes more trouble for his son-in-law, Sandy (Peter Gallagher); and the relationship between Seth (Adam Brody) and Summer (Rachel Bilson) reaches an impasse thanks to false pride.
