Summary ep 5

Ryan and Seth cruise down the bike path by the beach before rolling into a seafood restaurant for a lunch of lobster. Ryan's first lobster, no less. Seth asks how things are with Marissa, but Ryan says nothing's cooking. Seth tells him to be bold, friend, and then offers to pay for lunch, but Ryan is tired of everybody treating him. He needs some cash. Just then a busboy is fired from the restaurant. Serendipity!

Kirsten and some friends wonder if they should still go on their planned weekend retreat with Julie Cooper. The women aren't pleased with her thief of a husband. Next door, Julie wonders herself if she should go.

At work, Ryan learns the ropes from Donnie, a bitter busboy who's over these rich jerks in Newport. Hot chicks, though. And who would happen to stroll in but Summer and Marissa? Ryan awkwardly asks Marissa if she wants to hang out sometime. Like a date? No, not a date. Um…she can't. But thanks. And then Luke strolls in. On Summer's invite, of course. Donnie says hi to Luke, who just laughs him off.

After work, Seth drops by to hang with Ryan. But our boy's already made plans to hang out with Donnie and a couple of dolls. Seth gets the blow off. The next morning, Seth and Ryan share some tension with their cold cereal. Ryan punches the clock again and again runs into Marissa. He confesses that he did ask her out on a date and tells her to prepare for it to happen again. Marissa is making cheese & macaroni tonight when she babysits. How about then? It's on!

In Jimmy's office, Sandy helps out with Jimmy's case. He advises that the SEC is going to push fraud charges, and that it will be a tad difficult to recoup $4 million. Sandy suggests they put down the receipts and blow off some steam.

Lounging in robes and pampering themselves, the women begin to discuss l'affaire Cooper. One of the women tells Julie she knows a great divorce attorney.

Elsewhere, Seth tells Ryan they should hit an IMAX movie tonight. Ryan says he's hanging out with Marissa so Seth again gets the blow off. Striking out on his own, Seth asks Donnie if he wants to IMAX. Donnie tells Seth they should hit a kegger in the LBC instead. Ryan warns Seth not to go. Seth is going either way because he has mom's Range Rover, so Ryan agrees to go. For one hour!

Jimmy and Sandy fire up the grill and crack a few longnecks to relax. Kirsten calls to check in and is shocked that Jimmy answers. Kirsten tells him she's worried about him. When she hangs up, Julie is standing there, not that impressed by Kirsten's concern for her husband.

Seth and Ryan roll up on the scene in Long Beach. This crowd is slightly harder than the one at Holly's barbecue last week. Ryan is damn concerned about what could happen. He calls Marissa and says he's on the way before dragging Seth out. On their way, they hear somebody talk about this destroyed Range Rover up the street. Oops.

In a sauna, the women continue harping on Jimmy and the divorce attorney. Kirsten is fed up and points out that nobody gave Karen the number of an attorney when her husband was caught with his assistant. And you, you had a $500 a day coke habit in college, and you, you have a Guatemalan family cleaning your house for less than minimum wage. And Julie, Jimmy got in this fix so you and the girls could have ponies and Porsches. So get off Jimmy's case already. Julie isn't surprised by Kirsten's concern since Jimmy still has their prom photo up on their wall. I mean, does she think it's a coincidence they moved in next door?

Jimmy and Sandy hit the links. Sandy talked to his securities attorney friend and says Jimmy could avoid jail time if he makes financial restitution. Jimmy says he can't pay back $4 mil. Sandy tells him to sell the $3.2 million house he lives in. Great idea, except Julie will divorce him and take the kids if he sells the house.

At the seafood shack, Seth invites Donnie to a party at Holly's tonight. Ryan thinks this is a bad, bad, bad idea. That night, Marissa - giving Ryan a second chance after Seth explained what happened the night before - brings leftover mac n' cheese over to hang out. Seth, Donnie and a couple of Donnie's boys hit Holly's beach house. Out back, Holly cozies up to Luke after finding out he's on a Marissa break.

Ryan and Marissa discuss her fears about home life, then loosen things up by shoving each other into the pool and frolicking. Back at the party, Donnie steps to Summer, who gives him the boot. Donnie doesn't like how they're "mad doggin'" him, so he flashes his piece to Seth. In a less tense moment, Ryan and Marissa get out of the pool and towel off. Right before the perfect moment leads to a kiss, Seth calls. He's got a 911 at the party.

Holly is about to give Luke some sexual healings when she hears a bottle break in the kitchen. Donnie and his boys are tearing the place up. He and Luke square off and Ryan steps in. Luke shoves Donnie and that's when Donnie pulls out his nine, sideways gangsta grip style. Ryan wrestles Donnie for the gun and it goes off, hitting Luke in the arm. Donnie and his boys jump ship.

The wives are taking a limo home and Julie confesses to Kirsten that she was always envious of her. And she felt lucky when Jimmy got her pregnant and then did the honorable thing by marrying her. Finally at home, Kirsten and Sandy cheerfully share a beer. But next door, Jimmy tells Julie she has a decision. They can either liquidate and start over, or they can declare bankruptcy and watch Jimmy head off to the pokey.

In the hospital, Seth and Ryan wonder what's next. Marissa drops by to see how Luke is doing. But is she really there to see Ryan?
