[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

It's raining. Seth doesn't want to lose Summer and tries to find a romantic gesture to win her back before she travels to Tuscany with Zach. He buys his old boat, the "Summer Breeze" (named after Summer), back. The "Summer Breeze" is now called "Gimmie Sex", yet Seth still thinks it works. But when he calls Summer to give one last chance, she refuses to do so. Seth wants to watch TV, but something is broken and he wants to repair it. He climbs up the roof, wearing his Spider-Man mask and tied to a chimney, when he slips and hangs upside down from the roof. At the airport, waiting for the flight to Tuscany, Summer finally decides she wants to stay with Seth, and Zach seems to understand it. She drives to the Cohen's house, sees Seth hanging there and kisses him passionately.

Lindsay doesn't talk to Ryan after the postponed adoption. She thinks about moving to Chicago with her mom. The paternity test is positive after all, but she still decides to go to Chicago.

Marissa tells Julie about her new girlfriend Alex. She moves in with Alex, but is having problems with this independent life she's not used to.

Sandy wants to bring Rebecca back to Newport, but the road is closed and they have to stay in a motel. Sandy really wants to go home to Kirsten, but on the way back they crash. Rebecca flees from the police, while Sandy takes the bus home.

Seth: Ohh ... I've missed you. It's been too long.

Ryan: You're talking to a boat, Seth.

Seth: Yeah, I talk to a plastic horse, too, but that never worries anyone.
