The O.C. (TV Series) The L.A. (2004) User Reviews

Cute and fun.

When Summer and Marissa run into Grady Bridges, the star of Summer's favorite prime-time soap 'The Valley', he invites them to an LA party, and they accept. On the road trip to LA, Seth, Summer, Marissa, and Ryan run into Hailey, now working at a strip club. Jimmy and Sandy present their restaurant to Newport's finest and approach Caleb for some financial help.

This episode is a reminder of what the show is really about. I loved the irony with "The Valley" it was so hilarious, it made me smile. Adam Brody has his own band and he is known for improvising on camera. And at the time, Adam and Rachel (Seth and Summer) where actually dating.

I loved watching Colin Hanks on the show, and hated Paris Hilton. She totally ruined the scenes with Seth and Summer.

Summer and Marissa run into a guy from "The Valley" and he invites them to the party in LA. Ryan also sees Luke with Julie and tells him to break up with her fast. At the party they meet Hailey working as a stripper and Ryan of course tells it to the Cohens. They get kicked out from the party but bring her back. Luke breaks up with Julie but Marissa still finds out.

Well I never watched The Valley so parts about the people from the show got lost on me. Was fun to see Paris Hilton though and saying that she is in grad school.

Ryan really is one of my least favorite characters. And he sure is annoying in this episode. Why is everything his business? He is just an annoying party pooper who ruins everyone's fun. Including ours by breaking Luke and Julie apart. And him ratting Hailey out was despicable. She is an adult and he is a nobody. Too bad they will make it on the show as if he is some hero saving everyone.

Best parts once again were Luke and Julie. Him hiding outside trying to talk to her was too funny. And I am happy Marissa found out
