There's a time for playing it safe and a time for Risky Business.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Sandy reluctantly serves as host/auctioneer at yet another OC benefit; Trey lies to Ryan to prove that he can be self-dependent; Carter reinvigorates Seth and Zach's comic book dream, much to the annoyance of Summer. Marissa moves in with the Cohens.

When you expected this episode would be all about Ryan and Marissa! It was fun though, Seth and Ryan were on a mission to retrieve the crystal egg from "Risky Business", that Trey sold.

Also, Seth and Zach are seriously thinking about re-discussing the publication of "Atomic County". Although, I don't see Zach's part of the work, the characters belong to Seth, the story belongs to Seth. Marissa is Cosmo Girl, Summer is Little Miss Vixen, Seth is The Ironist and Ryan is Kid Chino. Where does Zach fit in?
