Welcome back! Our hiatus was long but this episode is longer!  In this episode, Ryan makes a new friend, which goes about as well as you'd expect. Kirsten spits some home truths at a spa day while Jimmy spits in Sandy's face (metaphorically). Jade and Kristy wax philosophical about sharks and mustard. Seth is also there.  There are tears! There are (frankly, too many) parties! The soundtrack drops a pretty bad slur! Join Jade and Kristy as they learn that the real meaning of friendship is the Range Rovers that are destroyed along the way. 

Tensions are high as the residents of Orange County gather for that weirdest of anachronistic rich-people traditions, the debutante ball. In this episode, Jade faces Mike Park and walks backwards into hell, while Kristy waits for the cease and desist orders from the rest of the US punk community to start rolling in.  There are tears! There's a big fracas! Join Jade and Kristy as they learn that the real meaning of friendship is the weird cultish rituals of the upper classes you unwillingly attend along the way.  [content note: mentions of classism, racism, homophobia]

The residents of Orange County gather together for yet another ridiculous fundraiser; Kirsten does the right thing for the wrong reason; Seth continues to be the absolute worst.  There are tears! There are tangents! Join Jade and Kristy as they learn that the real meaning of friendship is the waiters you KO along the way.  [content note: classism, alcohol and drug use, mild body horror] 

In this episode we have reluctantly returned, much like our hero Ryan Atwood, to Orange County for more hot nonsense.  There are tears! There are tantrums! There are horses with unexpected health conditions! Join Jade and Kristy as they learn that the real meaning of friendship is the houses you burn down along the way.  [content note: mentions of homophobia, classism]

In our first episode, we look at the show's pilot and find out how Ryan Atwood ends up in Orange County. Jade asks Kristy to explain why she loves this ridiculous show. Turns out it's mostly down to Sandy Cohen. [content note: mentions of domestic violence, homophobia, classism, sexual assault, neglect]
