Television Without Pity

The Swells - ...not like it was ever anything else. Marissa and Johnny get close, leaving their real significant others to wonder what's going on. Casey does something about it, hooking up with Johnny's surfing rival. Ryan broods and fights Johnny's battles for him. When other characters get a few seconds to do something non-Marissa-related, Seth is the first person to be nice to Taylor Townsend without having an ulterior motive. Julie figures out 7 'n 7's ulterior motives for being so nice to her. Sandy gets a new partner for the Newport Group.
