Summer is finally doing what she should have done five months ago: seeing someone about her best friend's death. Unfortunately, the person she's chosen to see is a disembodied voice, but it's progress. A lot of progress, in fact -- she zips through the five stages of grief as many days. Her intense sadness over Marissa's death in Stage Four (depression), a.k.a. Thursday, is supposed to be hilarious. Her reverting back to Stage Two (anger) on Friday, where she knocks the tissue box off the table and then apologizes for her "rage issues," is legitimately funny. By week's end, she has decided that Marissa would want her to move on, as Summer apparently knew a Marissa who didn't dwell on every single thing that happened to her and refuse to move on or grow up ever. That would be a much different Marissa from the one we knew, but there you go. Anyway, Summer is all better now and says she can go back to being herself and stop caring about the environment, which she thinks was just a crutch. I love how they made Summer get over Marissa in one week. Fuck you, Marissa!

Seth flies into Rhode Island to see Summer but hasn't made it out of the airport yet before he's called his crutch, Ryan, for a pep talk. Unfortunately for Ryan, it's 5:30 in the morning back in California. Then again, he's the teenager who never sleeps, so he's already awake. Seth says he's sure Summer called him into town to dump him, which would be rather cruel of her, but Ryan thinks Summer just needs to work out her issues and then she and Seth will be fine again. Suddenly, Seth sees the Summer he knew and loved coming towards him and hangs up on Ryan's ass. They make out and then Summer punches him, and Seth knows that his girlfriend is back. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep going to that therapist to work on some anger management, there, Summer.

Back in California, Ryan is working out on the beach. He jogs with his arms all tensed up and robot-y looking. He runs into Sandy finishing up some early-morning surfing and they hang out in the back of Sandy's truck (which he's somehow allowed to park wherever he wants on the beach) and chat. Sandy invites him to breakfast, but Ryan says he can't make it. Sandy asks him how he's doing, and Ryan just says he's good and looking forward to his first day of work at "El Pavo Guapo." More like "El Pavo Nombre Estúpido." And yet, it's still more Spanish than anything back in "Mexico." Sandy says he's looking forward to getting some shrimp tacos, but Ryan says Kirsten already told him not to give Sandy more than two per week. Sandy mutters about divorce, then talks about things that Ryan obviously doesn't want to: how well he's doing and how good it is to see him being more like his old self. He tells Ryan to "hang in there." Sandy sounds more like an inspirational cat poster than a father right now.
