Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What type of job does Ryan have in Chino?

Answer: Construction

Now that Ryan is living in Chino with Theresa, he needs a job to support them and the unborn baby. Viewers see the work-site and the hardhat Ryan carries is also a tip-off of his type of work.

2. What is Kirsten angry about at the beginning of this episode?

Answer: Seth still hasn't returned home

Seth left at the beginning of the summer and has refused to return home. School starts in a week and Seth has not come home. Kirsten is upset at that plus the fact that Sandy has not dragged him home yet!

3. What are Marissa and Summer doing when we first see them in this episode?

Answer: Laying by the pool at Marissa's house

The girls discuss going shopping, sales and, of course, Seth. Summer gives the impression that she's seeing someone new (Zach), but then comments that she will never get involved with boys again.

4. Marissa brings Summer a glass of tea in the beginning of the episode. After Summer takes a sip, what does she jokingly ask if Marissa put in it?

Answer: Lighter fluid

It seems Marissa has been finding solace in alcohol over the summer. She has mixed the tea with something (though she doesn't specify) and calls it a Newport Beach Iced Tea (instead of Long Island).

Answer: for a little girl to love a hairless pony

Kaitlin's pony, China, was found to have alopecia in season 1. The medicine that was used didn't work and China's hair hasn't grown back in. We do not see Kaitlin this entire season.

6. What kind of work is Seth doing in Portland?

Answer: teaching sailing lessons

After sailing into the sunset at the end of Season 1, Seth ends up in Portland, living with Luke and Luke's father. While Seth is there, he teaches sailing lessons, plays video games with Luke, learns how to cook on the grill and acts like a brat to his own parents.

7. Where do Sandy and Caleb meet to talk about Caleb's case?

Answer: parking garage

Caleb is paranoid about the possible case mounting against him. Sandy tells Caleb that he hasn't heard any rumbles from the District Attorney's office but that's necessarily a good sign. It could either mean that the DA's office doesn't have a case or that they're really building something big against Caleb.

8. What does Marissa say to Ryan when she calls him late at night (while he's still in Chino)?

Answer: nothing, they sit there in silence

Marissa is sitting on the beach and calls Ryan on her cellphone. He answers but she doesn't say anything. They sit there in silence, giving the impression that he knows it's her on the other end. Theresa later comments on the late night phone calls which leads the viewer to think it must be a common occurrence.

9. Theresa calls Ryan while he's in Portland. What does she tell him that leads to him returning to the Cohen residence?

Answer: she lost the baby

Theresa calls Ryan and tells him that the doctors couldn't find a heartbeat. She then says that since the baby was the only reason Ryan had come to Chino with her, then he shouldn't come home at all now. After they hang up, Theresa's mom asks her if Ryan believed it, leading the viewer to think that Theresa was letting Ryan off the hook.

10. What mode of transportation did Seth use on the last leg of his trip?

Answer: bus

Seth tells Ryan that he ran out of snacks in Santa Barbara, sold his boat and took a Greyhound bus to Portland.
