Ryan and Taylor break up because they're too different. Julie has to choose between Frank and BULLIT. Seth and Summer aren't sure if they're supposed to be together forever. The Cohen house is condemned, so everyone runs off to the old house in Berkeley and convinces its current inhabitants to give it to them. Basically, instead of moving forward, we go backwards. Over and over again. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/the_oc/the_ends_not_near_its_here.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/the_oc/the_ends_not_near_its_here.php Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:00:00 -0500 The Night Moves: Some people deal with scary disasters better than others.
