Taylor unwraps her presents, which are wrapped in that time-honored TV-only method of wrapping the box the present is inside with the cover and box wrapped separately. Seth gives Taylor a replica of the sword from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Summer urges Taylor to unwrap Ryan's present next. He tells her not to, saying the present is "personal." "Ryan's embarrassed!" Kirsten says. Wow, I can't believe she managed to stop thinking about herself for three seconds. Taylor unwraps the gift to find... a dictionary. Oh. Kirsten tries to make the best of it and says it's a practical gift. "The guy said that it had more words than others," Ryan says. "Well, that's good, being as it is a dictionary," Sandy says with an eye roll. Hey man, you were the guy who was dopily asking about surprise parties a minute ago. Don't throw stones.
Julie goes to the bathroom. The door closes behind her, and there's a sign on it. It's Frank's mug shot and criminal record with "This guy loves clown porn!!" written on it. Ahahahahahahahaha! Julie furiously rips the sign down. She should be mad -- that libel suit Frank's going to file against Julie on behalf of her minor daughter is not going to be pretty. Nice GQ mug shot by the way, Frank.
Summer and Kirsten chat about Seth and the lack of enthusiasm for life Summer's decided he has lately. Summer, he's stuck at home working at a comic store. It's okay that he's in a rut. He's going to college, and then he'll be fine. What's the problem? I don't even care. Of course, Seth is spying on Summer from behind a plant, his video camera taping everything.
Kaitlin sticks another Frank Atwood clown porn sign up on a Promenade business' window. Julie comes up from behind her and rips it down before grabbing the rest of the fliers out of Kaitlin's hands. She asks Kaitlin how Ryan would feel if he saw these fliers, and Kaitlin probably didn't think of that. Julie asks Kaitlin what her problem with Frank is. Kaitlin doesn't say anything about fearing for her and her mother's safety while sharing a home with a man with a history of violence, but instead says that in this year alone, they lost Jimmy, Marissa, Dr. Neil, and now the BULLIT. Yes, Kaitlin, but only one of those losses was actually sad. I'll leave you to figure out which one I'm talking about. Hint: it's not a Cooper. Or a Roberts. "What makes you think that this guy's gonna stick around any longer?" Kaitlin demands, her voice breaking. Julie says she thought Kaitlin gave her her blessing to date Frank. Yeah, she did, but Taylor also said she wasn't going to obsess over Ryan saying he loved her. I think O.C. stands for "Oh my god, these plots run in Circles." Kaitlin says she wanted Julie to date Frank, not have him all moved into the house they squat in after just one week. "He is not family! You and I are!" Kaitlin says; "Why can't we just act like that for a little while?" Frank chooses this time to walk up and say they're bringing out Taylor's cake. Kaitlin looks pained. Julie sends Kaitlin back inside so she can talk to Frank. Wow, Willa Holland really improved this season. Great job.
