It's his brother, Trey, who is being released from jail the next day and asks Ryan</B></div> <div> <B> to pick him up. When the beloved brooder and Sandy leave the next morning for Chino, the rest of</B></div> <div> <B> the kids hang out in school. Once there, Marissa and Summer are greeted by an overly-enthusiastic </B></div> <div> <B>Zach, one who later reveals to Seth that he met a tall blonde female in Italy.  Meanwhile,  in far more</B></div> <div> <B> sordid news, Julie tells Kirsten about the porn she is being blackmailed with and realizes that her </B></div> <div> <B>only option remaining is to ask Caleb for the money. Speaking of money - or lackthere of - Sandy feels</B></div> <div> <B> guilty about dropping Trey off in some stranger's housein Chino. Therefore, despite Ryan's concerns,</B></div> <div> <B> both Atwood boys return to Newport.  Amazingly enough, Seth shares Zach's secret with Summer and</B></div> <div> <B> she is jealous of this supposed new love. She later learns, via Mother Zach, that the girlfriend was made</B></div> <div> <B> up and her and Zach share mutual apologies. Kirsten, possibly, can relate to this sort of awkwardness</B></div> <div> <B> as sheis  visibly uncomfortable when Sandy asks to meet Carter. She even tells a fib, stating that her</B></div> <div> <B> editor (and crush?) is busy. Sandy's money, at least, is being put to better use than his feelings for his wife. </B></div> <div> <B>Trey is using it to buy clothes from a fancy department store,  but starts a fight when the manager asks to</B></div> <div> <B> look in his bag for stolen items. The next day, when Ryan sees an expensive watch and  assumes that </B></div> <div> <B>Trey did, in fact, steal it, he throws his brother out. Before leaving, though, Trey produces the receipt </B></div> <div> <B>and says that he bought the watch as a gift for Ryan. In a seedy hotel room, meanwhile, Caleb has a gift </B></div> <div> <B>for Lance. He delivers the $500,000 and gets  the tape in return. But then two large gentlemen confront</B></div> <div> <B> the blackmailer and Caleb takes his suitcase of cash back before they cash in ... on Lance's immoral face! </B></div> <div> <B>That night is the launch party for Newport Living, but Marissa and Ryan miss the festivites to go to Chino </B></div> <div> <B>and find Trey. Once there, they find a world of trouble in a bar, but Trey rescues his little brother and is</B></div> <div> <B> taken back to Newport, a brotherhood saved. At the party, Lance has snuck in as a waiter and has a surprise</B></div> <div> <B> for everyone: the porn is shown in place of the launch video, much to Julie's embarassment. To comfort her, </B></div> <div> <B>Caleb offers to take her to Paris in order to avoid the scandal. Seth and Summer also missed the part, busy</B></div> <div> <B> doing something or other in his room. As the show ends, the usual clan - including Trey now -</B></div> <div> <B>is eating the previously desired family dinner.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Review by JANIE</B></div> </td> <td valign="top" width=165 BGCOLOR="#000000" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
