    This episode was good. Julie finally does something nice for Kirsten, by getting rid of Charlotte. Johnny i think is very annoying, even before the whole volchock thing he seems depressed and lonely. taylor is getting less annoying, and summer and seth seem very friendly, so theres bound to be a rift between them sooner or later.

    Once again all the storylines within this episode are top notched and of great quality. Volchok was turning into the real jackass in this episode, and to see him fall on his knees in fear, it was pretty satisfying to see. Though his acting in the final confrontation scene wasn't great at all. Meanwhile the Taylor Townsend storyline is starting to get more and more interesting and her acting is just fabulous. Although I didn't expect it to happen, we're finally seeing the good side of Julie Cooper whom I've always liked as a character. Seeing her doing the right thing was just a pleasant sight to see. Though is it just me or has the comedy taken a dive? A huge dive? Nowhere near as funny as the first and second season.moreless

  • Really gave me some perspective...kind of geared me up for what to expect as the new "major storyline"

    Wow, Ryan is kind of scary again. His knuckles were bleeding...quite alot actually which doesn't surprise me considering he beat the crap out of a punching bag. I suppose its his way of dealing with his violence issues...while proving that he definetely has violence issues. Its a good character development thought. I think Taylor is kind of becoming a person. It was kind of scary sickening though when she ran off saying "it's happening". Kind of thought that was slightly strange and messed up. Valid though considering Taylor is a strange kind of person. Will be interesting to see how she affects the Summer-Seth relationship. I'm so glad that Julie pulled out of the whole "weirdo Charlotte" scheme. Loved the chilling quote from Julie. So true. I can't see any good coming from Sandy starting work at the Newport Group...just making room for a scandal. Overall...generally average episode aside from some great character development.moreless

    Something is changing in Newport Beach.

    After just 57 episodes, Ryan and his fists are starting to calm down. That's it. Chino Kid's old glorious days seem definitely very far away. Well, at least until the next time. LOL

    Only Marissa could trust to get in Volchok's truck. She's such an idiot. :D

    Julie gave up Charlotte's scam money for Kirsten's sake. I guess it was a wise choice. Probably Mrs. Cooper Nichol figured that three hundred thousand dollars, in her hands, would have lasted merely three minutes. :)

    Taylor, Seth and Summer. Is another triangle in the air? Yep, the OC writers definitely love geometry too much. LOL

    Yay, Plastic Face Charlotte is finally out of the show. :)

    Poor Sandy. Now that he is running Newport Group, he seems totally a fish out of water.

    By the way, it's time someone shoots Taylor's mom. :Dmoreless

    • Seth: Et tu, Ryan? This is a reference to the famous line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, "Et tu, brute?", when Caesar was asking Brutus if he was betraying him too. Edit
    • Seth: She said it was reverse Darwinism. Darwinism is a term used for various processes related to the ideas of Charles Darwin, particularly concerning evolution and natural selection. Darwinism in this sense is not synonymous with evolution, but rather with evolution by natural selection. Modern biology suggests a number of other mechanisms involved in evolution which were unknown to Darwin, such as genetic drift. Edit
