1. One character from the first season returns for this episode. However, the character is now played by a different actor/actress. What character, who will have a major story arc for the rest of this season, am I referring to?

From Quiz The Brothers Grim

Answer: Ryan's brother, Trey Atwood

Trey Atwood appeared in the pilot episode as the mastermind behind the car theft that would send Ryan to the juvenile detention facility where he meets Sandy. Since Trey (an adult) had priors and a gun on his person, he was sent to prison. Ryan and Marissa visited him in prison in the first season Thanksgiving episode "The Homecoming." In those episodes, Bradley Stryker portrayed Trey. Starting with "The Brothers Grim," Stryker was replaced by Logan Marshall-Green, who would go on to appear in 8 additional episodes. Prior to "The O.C.", Marshall-Green appeared in six episodes of "24." He also had a role in the 2005 WWII film "The Great Raid."

From Quiz "The O.C." - Season 3 - "The Disconnect"

Answer: Ryan

Ryan Atwood (played by Benjamin McKenzie) was the less-fortunate teenager the Cohen family took in. Ryan Atwood had been with his brother Trey when Trey stole a car, which landed Ryan in jail. Sandy Cohen (played by Peter Gallagher) was Ryan's attorney. When Ryan got kicked out of his home for landing in juvie, Ryan called Sandy and Sandy took him home. The Cohen family all grew to love and cherish Ryan as their own flesh and blood. In this episode, Ryan drove Johnny (played by Ryan Donowho) home in the Cohen's Range Rover. Seth was in the passenger seat and Marissa was in the back, but Ryan was driving. Johnny couldn't walk home because of his injured knee.

The rain doesn't come into the movie until several scenes later.
