Episode 2.07: The Family Ties
Airdate: January 6, 2005

Marissa lets loose on her folks after learning of their affair—and how Jimmy plans to end it; Caleb wins back his freedom in court, but remains a loser in Kirsten’s eyes; Ryan and Lindsey try to figure out if the Cohen family ties apply to them; and Seth’s “bad boy” phase nearly sinks Summer and Zach’s romance.

As one family strengthens, another will be changed forever. The Cohens, after Caleb’s revelation, decide to try to accept Lindsay as a member of the family, while another family is heartbroken over the news that one of them is leaving Newport Beach. Meanwhile, Seth tries to be a “bad boy” like Ryan to improve his relationship with Alex.

Jimmy, played by Tate Donovan, leaves on the Jan. 6 episode.

Seth is with a girl named Alex and he asks her if she needs anything, maybe a sandwich? Some punk guys and a hot punk girl come in saying they needs smokes and beers. Seth says he has questions for her and she says she’ll answer tonight at the Modest Mouse concert. She uses a lot the word “nice” when talking to Seth, which has him talk about this with Sandy and Ryan because he thinks it means he has no edge, no danger. Expect him to be searching for his “edge” in this episode. An event seems to be happening at the Cohens’ because they have a valet parking cars and Julie tells Caleb that she can’t wait to get out of there. Caleb’s car is stolen. Kirsten, Summer, and Zach also appear.
