Plot

Summer is in counseling to manage her grief over Marissa's death. (She moves through the 5 stages of grief in a 30 second montage of one week's sessions.) When Seth comes to Providence to visit her, she tries to go back to the shallow and fun-loving way she was before. But the last few months at Brown as a social activist prove to have had an effect on her personality that she can't just erase. After a day of shopping at the mall it's clear that Summer doesn't find such fivolous activity as rewarding as in the past. She is drawn back to her new friends and their most recent worthy cause. Seth worries about whether or not he fits into her new life, her "go-GREEN phase", but she assures him that she still loves him. He encourages her to follow her new calling and takes off for home ahead of schedule.

Sandy realizes he has no male friends left and tries to change that by awkwardly asking Jason 'Spitzy' Spitz into hanging out. Their attempt to play golf is hampered by their ringing cell phones. They end up at a bar, drinking beers and watching a game. He takes a phone call from Kirsten and ends up going home to be with her.

After the break-up with Neil, Julie makes a bet with Kaitlin: Julie stays away from men, Kaitlin from trouble. Taylor joins them in the kitchen, mentioning how much she likes staying in Summer's room and "how did she ever live without a home gym?" Kirsten and Julie begin plans to go back into business together. Julie and Kaitlin's wager doesn't work out so well and they both end up in a club, where Julie is dancing wildly with a younger man while Kaitlin has used a fake ID to get in.

Taylor asks Ryan to help her to get out of her marriage with Henri-Michel from France. Due to a French law, Taylor has to show her infidelity. At first Ryan refused to get involved, but eventually comes to her rescue by kissing her in front of Henri-Michel's lawyer. Taylor gets her divorce and is obviously swept off her feet. Later in the evening, she surprises Ryan in the pool house with a home-made peach torte as a thank you gift. As she leaves, it is clear she has developed feelings for him.
