Because what isn't happening in Newport Beach these days? There's so much going on.

These people, these people are horny, these people are

mixing it up with troublemakers was nothing changes

so Dory previously on the last episode we watched it was new years Eve

Marissa was kind of not flirting with this new guy Oliver who she met at therapy but like befriending him in a way that was making Ryan jealous

and after she told Ryan she loved him Ryan just said thank you and their relationship was a little, not on the rock, maybe on the pebbles.

Yeah, there was a little strain. But he ran over to Oliver's New Year's Eve party and

kissed Marissa and all was well.

And then we also saw Kirsten's sister Haley show up after two years away to throw a house party and Seth and Anna Stern

officially got together. That's where we left off and where we open on this

episode is Haley, Kirsten's younger sister, is in the

kitchen with her headphones on while the rest of the family stares at her

angrily and talks shit about her behind her back, literally behind her back.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm curious how many episodes Haley is going to stick around for.

I cannot believe, like we have completely forgotten Rachel, the Minks from the law firm.

Like, that woman, oh yeah, like, had a stranglehold on the Cohen household

for like a five episode arc, and now it's like Sandy Sandy doesn't there's no mention of the law firm

there's no mention of his flirty colleague it's just gone yeah it's so odd to me, but and she has been replaced by the latest bad girl, which is Haley. Her who is Haley, excuse my grammar.
