Kirsten hits rock bottom after Caleb's funeral, prompting Sandy to finally take action; Jimmy Cooper resurfaces and almost immediately renews ties with a mourning Julie; Jess bullies Trey into participating in a drug deal that turns into a shootout; Ryan finally learns the truth about what happened between Trey and Marissa, leading to a bloody confrontation.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Definitely tops the previous episode, which I thought was going to be the best episode in the show, and this tops it in every aspect even if by a small bit. Perfect 10? Nothing's perfect, but how else can you make it better? hide show
Wow, what can I say? With the whole Kirsten drinking problem popping off the roof in the last episode and Caleb's death, I wasn't sure how else it could have gotten any better than that. Well, I was wrong, and I'm glad to be wrong; if I thought the last episode was close to perfect, what did you think I would have thought about this one? The build up was just fantastic, the drama was rushing at maximum, and my God things just exploded once Marissa pulled the trigger on that gun. It was tear jerking enough seeing Kirsten leaving to the rehab center, but the emotion just reached to a new level seeing Trey fall over with the bullet engraved within his chest. And the best part is that this creates even greater material for next season, like how this will affect Ryan and regretting confronting Trey about it to avoid the conflict, or what will happen to Marissa from now on. Bring on the next season!

i love this episode. i was unfortionate in that i didn't really get into the oc until it went off the air but now i have all the seasons on dvd so its all good. i love the song hide and seek and i thought it was perfect for the episode. i loved the intervention scene. it's so sweet what ryan says and how kiersten goes to rehab to get better for her boys. i feel bad for her. the last words she said to her dad were so harsh ((but true)) and she'll live with it for the rest of her life. jimmy and julie will never work out. i couldn't believe that marissa shot trey. that's going to completely ruin her life.
Could have been more exciting... hide show
This episode was a great finale but it could have been so much better. With the death of Caleb, they could have brought back so many people. The only person that showed up was Hailey. The writers definitely should of brought Lindsey back! It was his daughter for goodness sakes and she never showed? Not to mention Luke or Oliver or Teresa....there are plenty of others as well. However, besides the lack of character returns, the finale was very good. The final scene just completely caught me off guard and I couldn't wait to see the next season. Definitely a cliff hanger!
A Funeral. A Drink. A Secret. A Fight. A Gun is Fired... hide show
Another breathtaking season finale, of The OC. The secret is out, about Marisa and Trey's "hook-up" and it doesn't help smooth things over with, a funeral taking place. Kirsten hits rock bottom at a wake for her father. The episode ends with the best musical mark in the history of the series' brilliant run. Trey moves back into drug dealing, with a Crazy Girl who shots up the club. It leads up to the usual, expect the cliffhanger. Kirsten moves to rehab, in an emotional break-down. Then the cliffhanger that leaves a characters life, hanging in the balance. Changing two characters lives... Forever.
From the start to the end, this is the best eppie. hide show
omg! it was the first time i actually cried with a episode. It was so emotional everything, the music was perfect also. It's something to remark. Hide & Seek (Imogen Heap) made the perfect mood for the eppie. from the instant those cars where moving across the road and the music started to sound, oh god it was amazing. And the end, when ryan reaches Trey's place...i though trey was going to kill him. really. And the music again streaming and marissa traying to stop both of them...it was fantastic, and i'm still amazed by this eppie, even though i saw it more than a year ago. Definitely an episode to watch over and over again.
