All in all, I liked this episode. Much more than "The Third Wheel" anyway.
Summer: I think this episode had many moments which are now my favourite of Summer. The whole scene b/t her and Marissa was hilarious, and it was good to see a scene between the two best friends again. Although I felt for her when R/M started macking on each other. I knew how she felt then. The whole holding hands 'friends' thing was a bit creepy, but you could tell it was Summer's act of vengeance. Also, The Da Vinci code on Audiotape? This girl rocks. The Da Vinci Code is one of my favourite books. I think all of Summer's lines and actions were perfect. I mean, when a guy breaks your heart you can either mope or you can cope, I think this was Summer's way of trying to cope and it was funny and enjoyable to see Summer's triumph. I think a lot more people could relate to her after this ep.
S/S/A: Honestly, not digging Seth and Anna as individual people at this point. Mainly all of Anna's looks regarding Summer. So I'm glad Summer was doing what she was doing. I think Summer knows they don't want to be her friend all that much, like when she was saying it was a scheduled thing, I think she was testing them. Seeing if they would tell her to go away. Pushing them to their limit. Although the fact that they are the still the threesome even after Seth chose Anna is bothering me. This obviously indicates point blank, as if no one figured it out already, that the triangle isn't over. But seeing Oliver immediately pair them up together and everything, and them going in the same car, it just made me roll my eyes.
Summer/Marissa: What happened to them being best friends? Where did that go? I was thankful for one best friends scene b/t them in the beginning. But when Oliver said, "All you friends can come, Seth, Anna... Summer" I just thought it was insane. Summer is her best friend, I think she's more important than Seth and Anna to Marissa. Marissa didn't spend any time w/ Summer on the trip, despite Marissa's "It'll be fun!" pep talk.
Marissa: Yeah, just plain annoying in general in this episode. Especially towards Ryan. I'm sorry, but the girl cannot get anymore selfish. Also, the fact that she was ashamed of her Dad's place just made me roll my eyes. It's a good home. Be happy. You have a boyfriend. Stop taking things for granted! Like Ryan! This episode just proved how, no offense, but the girl has no street smarts. No smarts at all in this episode, if she can't see what Oliver's up to. It's so conspicous, and if Luke noticed and Marissa didn't, well...
Oliver - I still like him. I thought his little pill-dance at the end was amusing. He's an interesting character, I want to see more of him but less of him and Marissa. He's taking advantage of her and it's sad because she doesn't realize it. I want to see more R/O conflict, but less over Marissa, although what else would they have conflict over?
Seth/Anna - Oh boy. I'm going to be blunt here, I got sibling vibes from the very beginning of the episode and when Summer said that I was shocked because the same thought kept crossing my mind. Their body language really does scream 'brother and sister'. For instance, the way they laid on the bed together in the beginning. It looked like a scene from 7th Heaven or something, brother and sister bonding. Most couples have their arm around each other, or something, I'm not saying their all over each other but still... a real couple acts like one behind closed doors, not just infront of people. Not that they did a good job of that either. Anna's pissy attitude during the gold thing was annoying. You can tell she thinks Summer's a baby or whatever for not carrying her own golf pack, but Anna's here making these whiny faces. Grin and bear it, girl. Seth is.
Did anyone else think they were high when they talked about Smurfs and Cabbage Patch kids? I'm sorry, but they sounded like they were stoned.
Hailey - Hmm. I thought she was a little melodramatic at the end, but I want her to stick around honestly. I like the interaction and plot-lines between her, Caleb, Julie and Kirsten.
Jimmy/Sandy - I liked a friendship b/t them before, but this episode really made it even better. It's so great that they can be friends like that, it also signifies how healthy Sandy and Kirsten's relationship is and Jimmy's earnestness. I loved the bonding between these two.
Sandy/Kirsten - The end was awesome between these two. Drunk Sandy bumping into the bed or whatever that was, too cute. These two never fail to make me smile. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
