Opening scene - Sandy's office at home - the first thing we see is a close up of a brochure. we see a picture of some palm trees, a fountain and a beautiful view. along the bottom reads 'HOLISTIC DRUG REHAB HEALING AND WELLNESS PROGRAM. Sandy is on the phone while holding the brochure in his hand
Sandy: I can meet you right away
(Sandy turns the brochure over and we see that it is the SURIAK TREATMENT CENTER one from before)
Sandy: I want to...I have a funeral to go to in a couple of hours so I gotta keep it brief but...the sooner the better...thankyou (hangs up)
(we see an aerial shot of the houses and then we see Seth coming down the stairs in the Cohen house. Kirsten walks by just as he steps off the stairs. they both don't look so great)
Seth: hey
Kirsten: hi
Seth: (worried) everything ok
Kirsten: ben better (sad smile)
Seth: (looks at Kirsten) I'm sorry about everything
Kirsten: that's ok sweetie (touches Seth's cheek) he loved you very much
Seth: yeah, I'm gonna miss him
Kirsten: need anything
Seth: no I'm jus looking for my cell phone charger an my batteries dead
Kirsten: there might be a charger in your dad's office, I'm gonna get ready
Seth: alright
(Kirsten walks off - the next thing we see is Seth opening the drawers in Sandy's desk. he opens one and closes it, then another, he lifts up some papers and then closes it. he opens another and rests his finger on the blue SURIAK brochure. he picks it up and looks at it, frowning)
CUT TO: The pool house - Ryan draws up a blind and then opens the door. Seth walks in the other door
Ryan: (sees Seth) oo, hey
Seth: hi
Ryan: how you doin
Seth: (frowns and looks at Ryan) well I was depressed (holds out the brochure) now I'm depressed an confused
Ryan: (looks at the brochure) it's a rehab center where'd you get this
Seth: my dads office...an I don't think he's tryin'a kick bagels (frowns)
Ryan: (looks up) I don't think it's for your dad
(Seth looks where Ryan is looking and we see Kirsten lower a blind at the main house, she looks completely out of it. Seth and Ryan both look worried)
Theme song - California by Phantom Planet Suriak rehab - Sandy is there talking with the Dr in thegarden
Dr: why don't you tell me a little more about your wife, about her history
Sandy: you know well Kirsten's always enjoyed a glass'a wine or two...but in the last few months, it's changed, she's changed
Dr: changed how
Sandy: she switched to vodka for starters...last week she had a car accident (shakes his head) an now I'm afraid with the loss of her father things are gonna get worse (looks at Dr)
Dr: I assume you'd want her to have a residential treatment (Sandy raises his eyebrows) as you can see (we see the setting from the brochure, almost identical) we provide a confidential an peaceful environment for recovery (looks at Sandy) Sandy) you know doctor I (sighs) I might be over reacting
Dr: (nods) I know how hard it is to accept, we all wanna think we can get someone we love through something like this
Sandy: (looks away) ...she's not gonna come voluntarily
Dr: very few of our patients check themselves in
(Sandy looks at the Dr, then looks away. he looks worried and unsure)
CUT TO: Marissa's bedroom - Marissa is looking at her bruise in the mirror, she pulls her robe aside to get a better look and puts her finger on it. we hear a knock at the door, she panics and quickly closes her robe back over the bruise
Marissa: I'm getting ready
Julie: (opens the door and goes in) hey, all'a my black dresses look like they should be accessorised with a broom stick (Marissa looks at her) d'you have anything I can borrow
Marissa: it's a funeral mom not a fashion show (Julie looks hurt) ...(frowns) sorry um (stands) look let me see what I've got ok
Julie: (puts her hand out) wait, I can do it
Marissa: no, you've ben through...more then enough (folds her arms) (shrugs) I didn't mean to be a bitch
Julie: apples an trees, you are my daughter
Marissa: (half smiles) which means I must have something that'll look great on you
(Julie smiles and we hear the doorbell. Marissa frowns. - we then see a silhouette standing at the front door pressing the doorbell. Marissa comes down the stairs and opens the door. Jimmy is standing there, he smiles at her)
Marissa: (suprised) dad
Jimmy: hey kiddo (smiles)
Marissa: (huge smile) hey
(Marissa hugs Jimmy. she looks happy but confused. we see Julie come down the stairs and stop)
Jimmy: hey Jules
Julie: Jimmy...what're you doing here
Jimmy: well you didn't think id leave you two alone during all this did ya (Marissa and Julie don't say anything) well I could see how you might but I'm (shakes his head) I'm so sorry, I really am
Julie: its really good to see you (smiles)

(Marissa smiles, Jimmy smiles back then looks up at Julie. Julie half smiles)
CUT TO: Cohen front door - we hear a doorbell, then we see Kirsten go to answer the door. she's now dressed for the funeral. Kirsten opens the door and Hailey is standing there
Hailey: (smiles) hey sis
Kirsten: hey
(Kirsten and Hailey hug. Kirsten closes her eyes)
Hailey: oh it's so good to see you
(Kirsten smiles and shuts the door)
Hailey: (puts down her bag) he said his heart thing was no big deal (sighs) not worth flying home for
Kirsten: he didn't wanna worry you (puts her arm around Hailey) you were his little girl
Hailey: (sadly) mm I know...but after all these years I caused him nothing but stress an anxiety (sighs)
Kirsten: (looks at Hailey) nothing made him more proud then seeing you get your life together...me (puts her hands on her hips) last time I saw him...I told him he was gonna die alone
(Kirsten walks away and Hailey watches her)
CUT TO: Seth's bedroom - Seth is on his bed reading a book called s*x, DRUGS, AND COCOA PUFFS* by Chuck klosterman. we hear a knock and then Summer walks in, holding Princess Sparkle in her hand
Seth: (looks up) hey
Summer: hey Cohen, Captain Oats around (gets on the bed) I brought him some company
Seth: Princess Sparkle you're in my room
Summer: yeah (frowns) I figured Oats'd be pretty down, could use the companionship of someone sweet an pretty with shinier hair, that would just you know...be there for him (puts Princess Sparkle next to Captain Oats)
Seth: yeah, well Captains pretty lucky
Summer: yeah well, if he gets fresh with her its straight to the glue factory (holds Seth's hand)
Seth: hey
Summer: (moves closer to Seth) hi...I know (looks at Seth) you an your grandpa were close
Seth: (looks down) it's actually my mom that I'm worried about
Summer: (frowns) your mom
Seth: yeah (frowns) ...this morning I was in my dads office an I found a uh found a brochure for rehab
Summer: (looks at Seth) oh my god, well has she ben drinking alot
Seth: well I mean she's a WASP living in Orange County (looks at Summer) so it's all relative right (Summer listens) I don't know she has...a glass'a wine at dinner, maybe two
Summer: anymore then that
Seth: that's the thing I've ben so self involved this passed year I don't even know, I have no idea (looks at Summer) an I'm sure its you know...at least partially my fault, I know running away was really hard on her last summer an-
Summer: (frowns) Cohen, no offense but your being self involved again (looks at Seth, half smiles) I think this is bigger then you (nods)
Seth: (puts his head back and sighs) I should go put on my tie, it always takes me a few tries
Summer: yeah
(Summer puts her other arm {the one that's not holding his hand) under his arm and rests her head on his shoulder)
CUT TO: Treys apartment - we see Jess sitting outside the front door. Trey walks up
Trey: I didn't think you got up this early
Jess: (stands) well maybe I haven't ben to sleep yet, something's come up
(Trey unlocks the door and goes inside. Jess follows him)
Trey: what's goin on
Jess: its graduation time (shuts the door) which always means big business, got a call from a couple'a kids who basically supply Garden Grove (sits on the arm of the couch)
Trey: (raises eyebrows, looks at Jess then away) I'm real happy for ya
Jess: for us (smiles) it's gonna be huge, like fifteen grand (looks at Trey) ill give you half
Trey: (scoffs) an why would you do that
Jess: cause I need your help
(Jess reaches back and picks up her bag, she unzips it and takes out a gun. she holds the gun out to Trey)
Trey: where the hell did you get that
Jess: d'you know how to use it
Trey: (takes the gun off Jess and puts it on the coffee table) I'm not like a sniper or anything
Jess: can you point it at somebody like you mean it (Trey looks at her) then you get half (goes over to Trey) now (stands either side of Treys legs) I definitely (Trey looks at her) need to get some sleep
(Jess nods and walks away, teasingly. Trey looks at the gun)
CUT TO: Calebs funeral - the first thing we see is a winding road next to the ocean. we see cars slowly driving down the road in a line, most of them are black. this fades to a close up of the cars still coming. this then fades to them arriving at the funeral service. we see Seth get out of a limo, and then Sandy gets out on the opposite side followed by Kirsten. Ryan gets out the same side Seth did. this fades to a zoomed out shot of the cars,people etc. this fades to a shot of Julie getting out of the car, and Jimmy is with her. Jimmy shuts the door and they begin to walk away {its interesting to note that both Kirsten and Julie are wearing dark glasses to hide their eyes} we see Kirsten walking near them and when she sees them she looks almost happy. Hailey gets out of the car in the background. Jimmy goes over and gives Kirsten a hug, Kirsten mouths 'thanks for coming'. Sandy kisses Julie on the cheek. Julie looks as though she's been crying, or is teary now, I can't tell because of the glasses! Kirsten says "Julie" and then they start walking in together. this then fades to a shot of everybody starting to walk in)
VO: we are gathered here today to pay our last respects to Caleb Nichol
(we are now inside the chapel. it is the same one that Caleb and Julie we're married in :'(. the coffin is sitting at the front with a big flower arrangement resting on top. this fades to Sandy standing in front of everyone, saying the eulogy)
VO: his loss is felt across the county
Sandy: Caleb Nichol was not a man'a many words
(we see Marissa and Julie sitting in the front pew on the left. Jimmy is in the pew behind them and Summer is sitting next to him)
Sandy: he was however a brilliant man
(we see Seth and Ryan sitting in the second pew from the front, on the right)
Sandy: he leaves a legacy of possibility
(we see that Kirsten and Hailey are sitting in the front pew on the right)
Sandy: but, his true achievement, were his children
(we see a close up of Kirsten starting to break down)
Sandy: he was a caring father, a wonderful grandfather (Seth puts his hand on Kirsten's shoulder, for comfort) a truly terrible father in-law
(this fades to Hailey in front of everybody)
Hailey: though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
(this fades to everybody starting to stand. Seth, Ryan, Kirsten, Hailey & Jimmy aren't in the pews anymore. Sandy's eulogy continues as a voice over)
Sandy VO: so, he may be gone, but he won't soon be forgotten...rest in peace Cal, an if you can't do that I'm sure heaven could use a few more Mc mansions
(we see Kirsten standing with her hand on her mouth, upset. Sandy and Seth walk by, followed by Ryan. the camera zooms out to show they are carrying Caleb's coffin. Sandy and Seth are at the front on either side, with Ryan behind Sandy on the left. I am sure Jimmy would also be helping (as he was missing from the pews) but you don't see him. the last thing we see is a close up of the front of the coffin, with Sandy and Seth's hands still holding it)
Heard over the above scene: where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just began to fall crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling spin me around again and rub my eyes, this can't be happening when busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy Hide and Seek you don't care a bit you don't care a bit you don't care a bit you don't care a bit
CUT TO: The Bait Shop - someone puts a crate down on the bar. Jess walks off the stairs and over towards Trey, who is working behind the bar
Trey: (not happy to see Jess) what're you doing here (puts the crate on the floor) (Jess looks at him) you know I have'ta work for a living
Jess: yeah, well keep hanging out with me an soon you wont have to
Trey: let me ask you a question, why don't you ever worry about like calculus or Armenian? History like a normal teenager
Jess: bad parenting (raises eyebrows) so, looks like everything's gonna go down tonight, an it's gonna go down here
Trey: oh no no, what'do you mean here
Jess: I needed some place public, the last kid who sold to these guys ended up with a tire iron upside the head
Trey: (looks at Jess) great
Jess: look if you don't wanna do it (smiles)
Trey: look I (clenches his teeth) (softly) I said I'm gonna do it an I will, but after this I am done
(Trey takes the crate and walks away. Jess looks happy)
CUT TO: The Cohen's house/the wake - we see a gorgeous picture of Caleb and Kirsten in a picture frame, sitting on a table with some food. the camera pans and we see Hailey walk inside, she smiles and goes over to Jimmy who is getting himself some food
Hailey: I figured if I didn't initiate, you wouldn't talk to me
Jimmy: Hailey, hey (smiles) (hugs Hailey) no I'm sorry I had my hands full with...Julie an Marissa
Hailey: so you don't totally hate me for bailing on you
Jimmy: people in glass houses Hale
Hailey: (smiles) so you moved ta Hawaii, how is it
Jimmy: ah, it's fantastic, you would not believe the North Shore
Hailey: so I've heard
(Jimmy smiles and looks over at Kirsten. we see Kirsten greet someone near the door, and then drink her drink)
Jimmy: she's uh she's taking it pretty hard huh (frowns)
(Hailey looks over and we see Kirsten put her empty glass on the tray as a waiter walks by)
Hailey: (worried) I've never seen her like this
(we then see Kirsten, who looks like hell, walk into the kitchen and open the fridge. she takes out the bottle of vodka and pours herself a drink. Sandy walks in)
Sandy: (raises eyebrows) you know we have bar tenders we're payin to do that
Kirsten: I don't like waiting in line (drinks)
Sandy: (closes his eyes) you know honey its still early...this things gonna be goin on for a while maybe you wanna pace yourself (looks at Kirsten, worried)
Kirsten: (puts the glass down) maybe I don't, my father jus died, maybe you wanna lay off the Kirsten drink count for a while (pours herself another drink)
Sandy: ...I know you're upset
Kirsten: (looks at Sandy) you're right, I am (walks away)
(Julie is standing just outside of the kitchen and saw what just happened. she goes over to Sandy)
Julie: I...if it would help I could take over Kirsten watch for a while
Sandy: I don't know if anything is gonna help...
Julie: so then let her glower at me I'm use to it
Sandy: unfortunately so am I these days (looks at Julie) thankyou Julie
(Julie smiles and walks off in the direction Kirsten went. Sandy sighs. we see Julie over with Kirsten, she puts her hand on her back - we are now in the backyard with Seth, Marissa and Ryan)
Seth: ok I 've officially talked ta every pillar of the community, I'm sick of pillars (screws up his face)
Ryan: at least you don't have everyone asking if you're the guy that burned down Caleb's model home, caused him to have his first heart attack
Marissa: yeah well everyone's looking at me like I'm the grieving step daughter (frowns) I don't think the guy could stand me
Seth: (looks around) ok where is Summer, is she...smoking the salmon herself
Ryan: you guys wanna hide in the pool house
Seth: ah, so bad
Marissa: (nods) mm
(Seth Ryan and Marissa head off towards the pool house - we are now back inside. we see Kirsten standing by herself near the door. Summer is at the food table and notices Kirsten. Summer puts some tomato on a plate and then picks up 2 plates and walks over towards Kirsten)
Summer: (smiles) hey Mrs. Cohen I thought you might be hungry
Kirsten: oh no thankyou Summer
Summer: oh well if my step mother taught me anything, it's to never drink on an empty stomach (half laughs)
Kirsten: (nods) (cold) thanks for the tip
(Kirsten walks away. Summer just stands there. Sandy looks at Kirsten worried, then over at Summer. Summer turns around and sees Sandy)
Sandy: hey Summer
Summer: hey, Mr. C (smiles)
Sandy: boy you really cleaned out the buffet huh
Summer: well I have extra if you want any
Sandy: I am powerless before a white fish (Summer laughs) hey, could you do me a little favour (Summer listens) this thing is gonna be goin on for a little while (Summer nods) an you know Seth's ben through alot in the last couple'a days an (raises eyebrows) it might be a great idea if you could get him outta the house for a little while
(Sandy motions with his head over to Kirsten. Summer looks over and we see Kirsten put an empty glass back on the tray and takes a full one, she takes a drink)
Summer: (nods) yeah, sure thing
Sandy: thanks
(Summer walks away and Sandy looks as though he's worried, and worn out)
CUT TO: The pool house - we see a video game on the TV and then we see that Ryan and Seth are sitting on the end of the bed playing each other. Marissa is sitting on the side ledge watching them. Summer comes in
Summer: hey

Seth: hey
Summer: um funeral food is like so depressing, I thought maybe we could go get some chili fries an...maybe stop by the Bait Shop or something (hopeful)

Seth: (frowns) do I still even work here, I should...find out for tax purposes
(Marissa stops at the bottom of the stairs and sees Trey)
Marissa: you've gotta be kidding me

Summer: ok Coop, you wanna tell me what that was about between you an Trey
Marissa: what're you talking about
Summer: oh I don't know, gamma rays of hate shooting outta your eyeballs, I mean problems with Ryan (she and Marissa sit on the couch) a weird tension with Trey, one girl two brothers it's all a little legend of the fall
Marissa: hm, I never saw that one (to someone walking passed) hi (smiles) (Summer looks at her)

Ryan: so how are you man
Seth: not good my heads...all over the place, I still haven't had a chance to talk to my dad (Ryan looks at him) two uhus an a couple'a smoothy chasers please

Julie: Sandy, I need your help
(Sandy looks over and we see a tipsy Kirsten holding the bottle of vodka and walking around)
Sandy: excuse me

Sandy: oh for god sake Kirsten at least use a glass
Kirsten: (closes her eyes, mocking) oh for god sake Sandy jus leave me alone
Sandy: its ben a long day...an I bet (raises eyebrows) you could probably use a little sleep
Kirsten: I feel (touches her chest) ok
Sandy: come on (holds Kirsten) lets jus go to bed
Kirsten: (pushes Sandy away) get your hands (screams) off me
(the vodka bottle smashes onto the concrete. everyone looks to see what the commotion is. Kirsten takes a breath in and Sandy just looks at her, helplessly)
Kirsten: are ya happy (looks at Sandy)
(Kirsten walks away, Julie and Jimmy walk over to her, they both look worried)
Julie: Kirsten
Kirsten: I'm ok (puts her hand up) Jimmy I'm ok
(Sandy watches as Jimmy and Julie help Kirsten walk down the stairs and towards the house. Hailey looks at them, and then at Sandy. Sandy just looks emotionless)
CUT TO: The Bait Shop - we see Jess doing coke. Trey is standing near by looking nervous
Jess: (sniffs) you got the money
(the rough looking guy from before puts a bag on the table with wads of cash sticking out if it)
Jess: have your taste then we're all good

Jess: (puts a bag down on the table) speed an the E are in the bag, same quality

Trey pushes someone out of the way on the bridge, Ryan and Marissa see. then we see Trey and Jess running again, RG is still behind them but now he has a gun of his own in his hand. Ryan sees)
Ryan: (screams) get down
(we see everyone get down on the floor, so we can now clearly see RG pointing his gun, he shoots. -we then see Seth and Summer crouched down, Seth has his hand over her head, protectively {aww}. Ryan has his hand over Marissa's back, protectively {aww} we then see RG run out of the Bait Shop. Summer looks up)
Ryan: everybody ok

Seth: it's jus broken glass
(Marissa pulls her hand away, stunned. Summer puts something on the bleeding, I think it's a tissue. Marissa is making groaning noises, and screws up her face in pain)

(Kirsten turns around to leave the kitchen and Seth is standing in the door way {this part here was what had me in tears, Seth being there when she turned around was just SO powerful, not to mention what Ryan had just said aww} Seth looks at Kirsten, Kirsten looks at Seth)
Seth: mom please, you gotta do this
(Kirsten looks at Seth, Seth looks at Kirsten, slightly nodding. Sandy walks over to them.

Sandy looks at Kirsten, Kirsten looks at Sandy - we then see Sandy and Kirsten together in Kirsten's room {this part made me realise what they are facing, for a married couple not to be sleeping in the same bed together, its heart breaking. and for her to be going through detox by herself, also heartbreaking!} ok Kirsten looks around the room, looking lost)
