Airdate: December 2, 2004

It’s a romance roulette as Seth and Ryan hit a Killers show with Lindsay and Alex, who’d rather be with the other’s escort, while Coop and Summer try to keep their new guys from dumping them for not being over their old ones. Back at home, Julie ropes Kirsten into hosting a party for their skittish clients; and Caleb clues in Sandy to just how bad the DA’s case against him may be.

As Seth and Sandy embark on new adventures, they take the rest of the family along for the ride. Ryan and Seth go on an awkward double date to see The Killers perform in concert, with unexpected results. Meanwhile, Julie finds herself overwhelmed by her new role at the Newport Group and, as usual, is forced to turn to Kirsten for help.

Julie puts The Newport Group in jeopardy and Kirsten must come to the rescue. Ryan becomes Seth’s sounding board as he starts a new adventure. Summer tries to deal with her feelings for Seth as her relationship with Zach gets more comfortable. The Killers play at The Bait Shot.

Julie now presents herself as Newport Group’s CEO. This episode is the beginning of a power struggle between Julie and Kirsten. When Kirsten gives an investment pitch to three men, Julie butts in and says she’ll take the reins from here… The potential investors grill Julie, at Kirsten’s amusement, about the recent downfall of the company. Seth suffers Post-Summer traumatic stress syndrome!
