[edit] Plot

Graduation is just weeks away and Ryan, Seth, Summer and Marissa leave Newport to attend their respective pre-frosh orientations at Berkeley and Brown. Yes, somewhat surprisingly, Marissa attends.

As Kirsten is saying goodbye to Ryan and Seth at the airport, she sees somebody familiar going down the escalator - Theresa. And she's greeting a woman standing by the escalator, who is holding a toddler who looks about two years old. Daniel, as we find out his name is later on, has brown hair, suspiciously like Ryan's. Theresa promptly lifts the toddler from the woman's arms and kisses him. Maybe Theresa lied about the miscarriage after all? Later we find out that Daniel is not Ryan's son.

Seth is surprised by who he meets at Brown. Later, Sandy and Kirsten attend a hospital benefit where Kirsten returns to an old habit.
