Previously on The O.C., Kirsten's father was in real estate development. Luke was "done" with Marissa. Seth thought it'd be easy for Ryan to tell Marissa how he felt; Ryan indirectly did so by making grilled cheese and frolicking with her in the pool. Sandy told Jimmy he could start over with a "new life"; Jimmy's other option was to see Lady Heather and the girls in eight to ten years. Donnie brought a gun to Holly's house, and held it gangsta-style. He wanted to know, "Who's the bitch?" Then, Luke got shot and Ryan attended to him.
Quirky music. We see a car packed with a trunkful of food, which may or may not include at least one box of wine (which must have been Ryan's contribution. Those Chino people and their boxes of wine). The Cohens stare into the trunk, and Sandy asks if they're worried that Kirsten's father won't love them if they don't feed him enough. Kirsten proclaims that, starting now, there will no more digs about her dad. Sandy claims it wasn't a dig, and looks to Seth for backup. Seth agrees, but adds, "When you called him a heartless bastard, that was a dig." In mock outrage, Sandy accuses Seth of selling him out. As Sandy and Kirsten head inside the house carrying heavy bags of food -- where's Rosie when they need her? -- Seth tells Ryan, "They're like puppets, and I'm puppet master." Ryan mutters, "World domination to follow."
Inside The Big House, Kirsten suggests that Sandy and her father make peace this weekend, and Sandy agrees before adding, "Oh no, wait. We can't!" Kirsten asks why, and he responds, "I'm still Jewish!" Hee. He then promises that he's just getting it out of his system. Kirsten changes the subject, wondering aloud what her father's new girlfriend is like. Sandy suggests that she's "very well paid." He congratulates himself: "I'm on fire!" This results in a glare from Kirsten that's a little more "I wish you were literally on fire right now" than Sandy intended. While Kirsten fusses in the refrigerator, Sandy whines that Kirsten is "wired" right now, and tells her, "Seeing your parents should make you feel guilt, not terror." A booming voice announces, "Don't forget, I'm also her boss!" and Kirsten closes the refrigerator door to reveal her father standing behind it. Oops. He heralds, "Speak of the devil, and the devil doth appear," before tossing a cavalier "Shalom, Sandy" his son-in-law's way. The Eyebrows are shocked but not surprised by such a comment. Really, they convey "shocked but not surprised" precisely with one quick movement. Kirsten and her father double kiss on both cheeks, and she asks how long he's been in Newport. He explains that the Learjet got in more quickly than he expected, and that he used his key to get into the house. Sandy asks where the new girlfriend is, and Caleb -- that's Kirsten's dad's name -- says that she's taking a swim. He asks where his grandson is.
