We don't get to actually see Sandy tell Ryan what's up, as the scene starts with Ryan reeling from the news. He says he always knew his father would be out of jail one day, but it's "weird" now that it's actually happening. And he's not particularly interested in his old father, who seems to be "from another life." Sandy says that's fine, and Ryan asks where his usual speech about the importance of family is. Sandy only reserves that for when the family position being threatened by the re-emergence of an Atwood isn't his own, so there won't be one this time. "You are my family," he just says. Ryan seems touched by this comment, although it's hard to tell with him. He thinks, then says he doesn't want to see Frank: "Maybe later, not now." "Then that's what I'll tell him," Sandy says, trying his best not to jump up and triumphantly pump his fists in the air for winning the Ryan's Dad contest. Ryan heads back to work for what is sure to be a really fun shift for him, then asks Sandy how his dad seemed. Sandy says he seemed "good." "Good," Ryan says. Thus endeth the exchange of vague adjectives.
Frank gets the news from Sandy over his silly hotel phone with the giant red flashing message waiting light. Frank is disappointed, but thanks Sandy for trying. He hangs up, and we see that Julie is in the room. She asks Frank what he's going to do now.
Seth hands Summer a cookbook and informs her that he signed her up for cooking classes, as he expects his wife to prepare a "nice, home-cooked meal" for him every day. Summer will also be converting to Judaism, and Seth has provided her with a Torah to this end.
Summer throws the Torah on Taylor's bed and complains that Seth is trying to smoke her out. Way toss around sacred religious stuff, Summer. Remind me to go crap in her Bible. Summer says Seth's plan is "sneaky, cowardly, and totally passive-aggressive." And she really wishes she had thought of it first. Taylor asks Summer if she's going to tell Seth the truth now. "Frack that," Summer says. I guess it's too late for a Battlestar/OC crossover episode, huh? Oh well. Instead, Summer says she's "going to go Bridezilla on [Seth's] ass." Well, those two are definitely adult enough to make a mature decision about lifelong commitments.
