The next shot we see is in the gray-toned ChinoCam. We see Ryan's doleful face through the window, while Marissa stands curbside at Lady Heather's Lair. She hopefully perks up when she sees the car, and then sadly watches them continue onward. Ryan stares back at her as she's washed over in strange light. A limo pulls in front of her, obstructing her from Ryan's view. The car turns out onto the coastal road. If this sounds familiar, that's because it is, puppy-face and all. For once, it's a successful -- as opposed to completely random -- parallel.

Hallelujah!

Upstairs, Seth packs up a duffel bag. He does so with his tongue stuck out, which is the mark of packing concentration. As he swings out of the room, we see two letters labeled "Mom and Dad" and "Summer" on his desk.

Hallelujah!

Marissa carries a box, containing what looks like a single Care Bear, into her new bedroom at The Palace. If she's so poor, then why does her turquoise purse so perfectly match her turquoise tank top? She opens the doors off her bedroom and stares out at the lovely vista below.

Hallelujah!

Seth unties his boat from the dock, consults his compass, and heads out on what appears to be a split-decision sailing excursion to Tahiti.

Hallelujah!

Kirsten changes Ryan's sheets, and then pauses.

Hallelujah!

Ryan stares out through the gray-tone ChinoCam. He and Theresa exchange a lingering look.

Hallelujah!

Seth sails.

Hallelujah!

Kirsten sits on the bed and breaks down into tears. Sandy slowly comes into the room.

Hallelujah!

Marissa sips alcohol straight from the bottle, and immediately looks drunk and surly.

Hallelujah!

Seth sails out of the harbor area.

Hallelujah!

Kirsten takes a deep, calming breath, and then breaks down into hysterical tears while Sandy silently holds her.

Hallelujah!

Gray-toned ChinoCam. Ryan's puppy-face.

Hallelujah!

Seth sails on a beautiful, sunlit ocean.

Hal-le-looo-ooo-ooo-ya!

And as I said in the recaplet: full circle indeed.
