The Distance

Series 2, episode 1

Written by Josh Schwartz

Directed by Ian Toynton

Originally Aired On: Thursday, 04 November 2004

The O.C. returns to E4 for another run of the explosive second series. It's the end of summer and nearly time for school to begin again, but Seth has no intention of returning to Newport Beach. He's teaching sailing with Luke in Portland, Oregon and, despite his parents' best efforts to persuade him otherwise, is determined to stay away from home. Elsewhere, Ryan is working on a construction site in Chino to support his pregnant girlfriend Theresa. And, back in Newport, Marissa and Summer are trying their best to forget their ex-boyfriends, in their own different ways. Sandy and Kirsten Cohen try everything within their power to bring the boys back in time for term, but will they be able to reunite their family?
